Great game, shame about origin.
Now Origin is like steam, only a really slow, awkward and cheap.
You have to use a web browser to launch the game in all it's modes. Personally I want to run a game then choose to do campaign, co-op, multi player there and then, just like most other pc games.
If it isn't broken then don't fix it ? Right.
Based on a review for the game alone, without Origin I would give it an 8.0 but based on the game as a whole with Origin I give it a 6.5, I just can't use this hideous program, I mean whats wrong with bfbc2 server browser and running the game though steam, once again greed gets the better of EA.
I have deleted my bf3 along with origin, I'm just glad to be rid, I do hope somewhere in an update they will let you run the game without origin and put a proper ingame server browser along with game mode options.
Also you can find information on Origin, it's being called the Trojan Horse and this is due to the fact they made you download it for BF3 then they sell your information to 3rd parties.
