Free?! What's the catch?
There's no catch. Grab full games, expansions and more at absolutely no cost. Just make sure to act fast because On the House specials can appear and disappear at any time.
You mean a trial or demo, right?
Nope. You’re getting a full version of the real game — for free!
How long will I own the game?
Once you’ve claimed your game, it’s yours to keep!
Why is Origin doing this?
Our goal is to provide a great gaming experience and a way to discover awesome new games. Having a game in your library, for free, is a fantastic way to see what Origin is all about.

From those days when graphics were okay but storylines were truly engaging. I'm really fed up with silly side quests and finding bits and bobs with which to make, purchase or upgrade weapons, it's been done to death. Gaming needs a fresh idea or to simply revert back to telling a good solid story inside gloriously complex graphics environments.

Agreed. For me, the first time I played Medal of Honour Allied Assault on the PC was a mind-blowing experience. The sound effects, Omaha beach.....wow. And just when you thought that was it........the storyline kicked in. Epic times. Nowadays, the storyline is pretty much neglected and you just shoot your way through the game - emotionless is the only way I can describe it. In Allied Assault, you felt like crying when your comrades were getting killed by the Germans manning the guns in the pillboxes.

It's a nice blast from the past, but let's not kid ourselves: the MoH series was never great. It was EA's cash cow, like CoD today: pumped out every year with a generic story tagged on, and the same terrible AI and gunplay every iteration.
The first CoD was when we finally got a proper "engaging" WW2 shooter, and CoD2 was completely revolutionary. Besides Frontline and Pacific Assault, MoH was teeeeerrrible.

I've only played MoH Allied Assault. We used to go in to work on a Saturday to play multiplayer over the LAN... erm... until we got caught... :disappointed:
I'll look forward to trying this. Just hope it doesn't give me motion sickness now.
For single player I had always preferred CoD. Especially in CoD 2 where they recreated the opening scenes of 'Enemy at the Gates'.

Granted. There were hits and misses with both franchises, their commonality was good story telling. CoD remains my favourite franchise. My wish is merely for developers to stop distracting us with earning kudos by collecting balls of wool so grandma can complete knitting a bazooka or gathering 'erbs with which to knock up a fortifying soup.

Do you have to be signed up for EA/Origin Access to get games "On the House" or is it 100% completely and utterly free ? :sunglasses:
