I'm not mad I have plenty of other games I could buy. I am not uber pumped up for it anyway. I am much more looking forward to deus ex 3 and Hard Reset. I also need to get me the Witcher 2. I'd rather preorder masss effect 3 than buy BF3. In the end it is very low on my list of games to drool over.

Personally, I don't have anything against Origin in and of itself, I just think that this finally shows without any doubt that EA was using Steam's DLC policy as a convenient excuse to shun Steam and push Origin all the while making Valve out to be the bad guys. Not only was it completely unecessary, but I also very much dislike being treated like some sort of simpleton that can't put 2 and 2 together. The whole tactic is lame and insulting.

Yep but think of all those who couldn't see the truth. They're the majority man, it's a scary world.

Or they just want to use their own software for their own game... it kind of makes sense does it not. Of course the DLC policies come into mind, beccause bf3 is also on other DD sites. Its a marketing strategy, many companies use them, dont hate on origin, theres nothing wrong with it.
Yeah don't think I will be getting this in less the game is just amazing.. And based what I have seen I am not that impressed.. It just looks like a better graphic game of the same type game we have been seeing for years now.. Modern warfare involving the same story, same environment and same gameplay mechanics.. As for Origin.. I have no problem with download services.. Inless the game is just jaw dropping.. I really justdon't to have mutliple online platforms on my system.. Steam is enough.. If they must do something, make it like battle.net.. A system thats within the game it self.. Instead of something thats outside of the game that I have to keep track of.

IDK make some kind of alterante reality plotline where something extremely unfeasible would happen like World War 3? I would like to see some variance in the setting and plotline.. Its as cliche as the Middle Earth fantasy theme.

Yeah, I thought of that Steam debacle as soon as I got into the BF3 alpha and saw origin. That program has had to been in development for months. They didnt just whip it up as a result of Steam. I have no issue with the program itself, but it does seem to be a resource hog. It was loading at startup and making my startup take like 30 seconds longer, which is insane for one application.

Isn't that the plot of Modern Warfare 3 lol?
Hahahah, exactly. MW3 is World War 3...
Is it? I haven't been paying attention.. My point is I would like to have some kind of fantastical element be a scifi twist or are rewirting of history to put overall change into the setting and make it unpredictable for once..

Ehhh, if you put sci-fi setting then it stops being a military shooter? Even so, games like BlackSite or Half Life are military shooters with SciFi Elements. As for rewriting of history.... I think some games attempted that.

I don't think it has to be anything major in change or difference.. They are just running into the same problems I felt WW2 shooters ran into.. IN that they kind of covered the same things over and over again.
Well I don't like it, but I can't say I'm surprised. I seen this coming from a mile away. EA clearly set out to force Origin's success. By forcing people to use it they're basically trying to open up the door to be another Steam.
Unfortunately I'm saddened by this, because if Origin is successful, I foresee every other publisher trying to replicate it which will segment the PC ganing market into a mess of uneccessary software programs. One can only hope PC gamers will continue to buy their games from EA by other means other than Origin. If there's one thing I can't stand is when companies force uneccessary things on you just cause you want one product.

I understand your point. I think MW3 is actually trying to be a bit different on this one... they are reproducing World War 3 after all... fingers crossed.

So like Call of Duty and Homefront?
Playing an FPS for the story is same as watching porn for the story.
Everybody keeps saying forcing it, but if you've been following you'll know they have implemented a massive amount of community features into BF3. We are talking friends lists, clans, replays, and so much more. It's not that we are just going to use Origin to start up the game. Origin is going to be used somewhat like Steam is for Steamworks games.
I don't like having to install and run Origin that much either, but it's kind of a big part of the online experiance for BF3. They don't just want a game with a server browser, they really want a community experiance.

This is exactly my feelings on the matter.
Competing and Forcing are two very different things.

Have you ever played World in Conflict?
Yes... I beta tested it.
I understand those features are built into WiC but Origin goes even further than that.
I don't have a problem with it myself. I know I'll be getting the game. Looking forward to seeing how high I can turn the settings before my 4850 begs for mercy.
Non issue for me. Will still buy BF3 day one. Ive been using Orgin since around ME2 time. Wouldnt be surprised if Activision(other big publisher) did the same thing down the line. People complain about multiple services but I welcome it. With more competition, the customers win.
i lost interest in bf3. i will not be buying it. there are so many better games than it coming out this year and quite frankly im getting sick and tired of FPS games.

Care to elaborate what BF3 will do that WiC has not?
DICE is incapable of making a mere functional server browser and you want them to add more community features in the actual game? do you hate BF 3 that much?
Unless we don't have to use or see our EA account name, or we are able to name soldiers differently, or we are given the option to change our ea account name, I'm not getting this.

No, yes, no, you already knew the answer to these questions if you ever played BC 2 or any EA game in the last 4-6 years.

No, yes, no, you already knew the answer to these questions if you ever played BC 2 or any EA game in the last 4-6 years.I thought that too, until I played Need for Speed Hot Pursuit. Don't think you can change your display name at all.
Of course you can't, you don't have multiple profiles on autolog, you have one persona on all autolog games, you never use your account name, personas aren't the same thing as your account, unless you make one that way, it was about BF and it'll allow you to make multiple soldiers for your account and just like Steam, it's impossible to change your account name, absolutely no reason to implement such a thing ,you see personas not account names.
