so i just downloaded origin to activate my bad company 2 retail copy as a digital download and when i entered it, it came up as digital deluxe edition even though it isn't. so i have just got badcompany 2 Vietnam for free win win

anyone else done this?
 
no problem, lets just hope they don't get it sorted for a while so more people can do it :P.

btw whats your username on origin i will add you :P
 
thats a bummer lol, atleast this will give people who haven't purchased Vietnam a chance to play it, to see if its anygood :P

was aimed at nym
 
anyone tried this with other games yet? i've activated bfbc2 and moh on origin now, i tried bf2 complete which i bought on steam but didn't work and none of the games from crysis maximum edition worked for me
 
hmmm, i will try when its finished downloading because i didn't have it installed.

i take it yours is installed in defualt directory and there wasn't anything extra dowloaded? not the orgin games directory.

Yeah, mine is the standard retail version. Origin has automatically found it, and i can start the game from origin and use the overlay etc.

same with moh for me, i will see what happens with it when its finished downloading the origin version :P fingers crossed it works, if so you will probably have to uninstall and redownload it

Me: Hello, I was under the impression that Battlefield Bad Company 2 Digital Deluxe Edition came with the Vietnam expansion?
Howard: Okay
Howard: Please elaborate your issue in detail .
Me: When I try and play the vietnam expansion (by clicking the vietnam button on the menu) it tells me to enter or purchase an activation code for it
Howard: Did you purchase the Vietnam ?
Me: I thought it came with the digital deluxe edition
Howard: Please provide me the code of the Deluxe edition
Me: [nope] is what it says on the EA Download Manager page
Howard: Thanks
Howard: Could you please provide me the link where you found that Deluxe edition comes with Vietnam .

just a cheecky backup plan if it does not work ;)
 
its 76% downloaded now so i will see what happens soon, but if all fails i will try the above method of talking to a guy named howard ;)
 
its not all bad news!! its looks like if you don't get Vietnam you might at least get the other dlc like spectact kit, i have just looked on the battlefield veteran website and all the spectact weapons are no longer greyed out and show 0 seconds of usage
 
sorry for not posting in a while, no this didnt grant me Vietnam :( unfortunately but it is listed as the deluxe edition for some reason

you mean after talking to howard and getting him to activate vietnam on your account, you STILL dont own vietnam?
