It is graded out. I was with EA support for over an hour yesterday and there was a lot of back and forth, but finally the tech said he would send me an email with steps to follow. Still waiting for it. Any suggestions as to how I can get the game back?? I unfortunately do not have the original disk. I would like to play the game again, specially now that we have a server for it. Thanks Awards

They shortly dropped support for the disc version for multiplayer shortly the launch of battlelog as far as I know. I could be wrong though :/ Edited November 4, 2015 by Barron3000 Awards

The funny thing is that I can "uninstall" it, but cannot play it and cannot download it. Thanks for the responses. Will try again with origin. "very frustrated" Awards

I contacted EA support and the new fellow that tried to help me asked me to uninstall ORIGIN. I only uninstalled BF3 and I now am able to re install it with all the DLC's and expansion packs I had. I guess they really do not know what they are talking about!! What a shame. Sonovabich 1 Awards

From what I understand how it works... since there is no reinstall like Steam... is to start the download of the particular program after reinstalling Origin. Then after a short while to get it started stop the download. Quit Origin. Replace the game files from the backup and start Origin again. Restart the download and Origin should then re-verify all the files there and accept them. Never actually tried that myself but that seems to be a common solution I see around to back things up. Unless Origin fixed that so its like Steam. Awards
