I want to activate BF Vietnam on Origin

Hi,

I am a big Battlefield fan and I have the physical copy of the game and I'm willing to activate it on Origin to fulfill my collection. I have read that it's possible by contacting the EA Customer Support and giving the proof of purchase.

I'm trying, but they aren't helping. All they keep saying is "Contact Amazon and ask them for a refund or a change", but Amazon really can't help me since emitting new compatibles ones isn't up to them. All this since a month circa.

I don't know what's wrong with my case. Please, either give me a direct EA Support mail or solve my case.

Thanks in advance.

@WatDaFrag @Lunelli_98 Our older games are not supported in Origin anymore such as Battlefield 1942, Vietnamne, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 2142. Meaning you wont be able to redeem the codes for them.

A while back you could contact EA support and show them your code and it will be added to your library but it's not something that EA Support can help with.

Will old classics such as BF 1942 and Vietnam be added in the future? I'm pretty sure there would be overwhelming support of this among BF fans all over.

@NorseTroll BF 1942 can be added if you have the original key. It can be added because in 2012 they made a digital version to celebrate the 10th annyversary of the Battlefield series. However, they did not made a digital version of its expansions packs and the same goes for BF Vietnam from 2004. I dont remember exactly but i think there is a work-around to play the expansions packs using the Origin version

No, I did try. The BF1942 key's format is xxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxx (x=digits), while the apparently desired format asked for was xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. My key was not accepted, neither with or without the "-" between the digits. Any idea why?
I even tried the same with the key for "road to rome" which was listed underneath the 1942 key.

@NorseTroll Nothing to share at this stage.

To get older Battlefield games to the modern systems will take a lot of work also dust of old code.
