Is there a way to get CD for game bought in Origin?

I bought BF4 in Origin but it is 22GB download. My internet monthly usage is only 20 GB after that 256kbps. If i download that game i can't use internet whole month and i have to download extra 2GB with 256 kbps and worst if power cut occurs i have to download whole game again. So is there a way to buy BF4 CDs without cd key( I already bought game in origin)?. 

  • You can install BF4 through a backup, then you only require the files which a friend might have or you can download somewhere else, even if you have a laptop that can't run BF4. You just need a way to transfer the backup to your computer.

    How to install from backup:

    1. Download the game and take the folder in "C:\Origin Games\Battlefield 4" as this will be your backup
    2. Have the backup ready on the computer you want to install BF4 on
    3. Have Origin download BF4 for a couple of minutes
    4. Exit Origin 
    5. Use your backup and Copy over the few files downloaded, overwriting all files
    6. Start Origin again 
    7. Look at Origin verifying the files, setting up the changes in the registry and downloading the last files

    I expected this answer. But no one wants to waste internet for me downloading a game. Internet is costly in my country.

    Well, we sadly can't fix your country's internet from here. Only alternative would be to go buy the disks for it but then you still would need to download a lot of patches.
