USB stick for BF4 game or flash drive
You can likely download the game to a friend’s laptop using a USB drive. Transferring it to your PC should work even with slower internet. Playing BF4 from Origin on G2A or elsewhere won’t change how multiplayer works—everyone sees each other in-game regardless of the source.
It will require you to download it once more on your device, though it only verifies that all files are present.
BF4 needs Origin because it uses DRM, so every purchase gives you an Origin key. Edit: You're likely aware of this, but bring a large USB drive. I'm away from home, so I can't verify, but an updated BF4 guide is about 50 GB in size.
Begin by transferring the file to your device. Launch Origin and initiate the download using your internet connection. Wait a few moments for the transfer to start, then stop it. Move the BF4 folder into your Origin Games folder where the BF4 directory resides. Replace any existing files (just the downloaded ones should fill the space). After finishing, open Origin again, restart the download, and the installation will wrap up quickly—followed by adding the DLC shortly. This process has worked countless times across various titles. The install starts, pauses, exits fully, copies files, reopens, and restarts the download. Done.
