Better get over there fast, EA has expanded their "On the House" initiative by adding Battlefield 3 as a new free offering. Yes, Battlefield 3 for the PC can be yours for free. Read more after the break.

Battlefield 3 for PC is absolutely free for a limited time with Origin On the House. You read that right. Battlefield 3 on PC is totally free, but only for a week. All you have to do is add it to your Origin game library and it’s yours to keep forever. Just download it when you get a chance.

Already playing Battlefield? We’ve got something for you, too.

Plants vs. Zombies on PC and Mac is also free right now with Origin On the House. Same deal, just add it to your game library and it’s yours for as long as you want it.

For more chance to score free games, look out for Origin Free Code Friday and read up on the EA Tuesday Exclusive. On the House titles change frequently so keep checking back.

Remember, you can download Battlefield 3 on PC right now, for free, but only until June 3.

Enjoy.

Well that's a pretty generous offer! Maybe EA is trying to win back some customers ;P

Cool deal, who doesn't like free games. It will help get more people to try or use Origin. I have a handful of Origin games but I am a Steam guy all the way.

Origin is so ass. I'm trying to get the passes for two of my accounts and it never sends me either of them. I made a new one and it wants me to confirm, never received confirmation email.

Is there any point downloading BF3 (20Gb) if I'm just looking for some free single-player action? If the campaign takes less than 15 hours to get through then I won't bother. I don't do multi-player.

Agreed...I'd rather pay $60 for a game from another publisher.

I remember having the same problem, there was a load of people complaining on the forums and twitter iirc about the same thing

Can't remember how I solved it now... there was a workaround

As far as free shooters go this is by far the best. Hats off EA.

That may be argued, but end result is that it depends on preferences.

While I own BF3/4 Premium both. I can say that CS1.6 is best game out there.
Why? Because hours spent playing vs cost it is clear winner.

2nd FPS for me in this regards is Killing Floor.

If I look on other types of games then I have Terraria as very successful project.
And Path of Exile/Smite are very good too.

But other people may say that they spent 1$ per 100hours of gameplay on completely different games.

I just played through it last week. 4-5 hours. very pretty but the whole thing is almost on rails. i didnt like it very much at all but the coop parts are fine with friends for a while.

ArtificialAiming is urging all of it's customers to get as many copies as possible while the free giveaway is going.

Haruhi - It's gonna be a tedious task to equip like 600 accounts with BF3.

Yay Hackers you just can't get away from the little ****s can you

I look at it like this:

I spend £$ w/e on a game like BFx and play iut for 1,000-2,000 hours versus £15 for a 90-120 minute film.

I know which one has more value
