I'm going to skip BF3 over this Origin stuff.
The real point for me is not what it scans, but how they don't tell you. By not telling you and forcing articles and topics like this to speculate, the real concern for me is that whatever we see it doing NOW doesn't have to be permanent. They could at any time send this thing new directions without telling the user it's happening.
Usually I'm on the other side of these things. Advertising or information use to increase profits is really just another kind of price hike. No different then launching a full price game with additional DLC that costs more money but was produced during that same development time as the box you paid full price for. No different then releasing with a crappy map count and then selling map packs.
However, if they're not going to come out and state EXACTLY SPECIFICALLY what the program is for, I'm not letting them do anything they want on my PC and change it on the fly, and that's the line I draw. It's not just a price hike anymore, it's getting shady. |

While the game itself runs great on my system, origin is deal breaker for me. It really does blow donkey ****.
Stupid little jion game button and keeps putting the game into windowed mode (sometimes different sozed windows FFS). Being unable to get to the game optiosn till your actually in a match? That also blows the big one. |

Honestly I really hate the way the Video game industry has been overrun by greedy assholes like kotic.
Had it not been for free modding and open source games like Counterstrike and LoL would not have existed. Stacraft and Warcraft would not be anywhere near as popular as they were, not to mention Battlefield 1942. Instead what we get are these intrusive DRM applications and Console based modding policies where we have to pay for maps and **** like that. I can understand selling map packs on consoles but its really insulting for PC players since the platform is more than capable to support modding and custom map editors.
Theres a reason as to why I barely pay for games anymore and that's because of **** like this Origin stuff we have now. And don't you dare say piracy is the reason for this crap. It's not. ______

^ Lol what? You do know BF started on PC and is tailored to PC first? You know how big BF2 was/is? 12 Million in the beta atm. Also a month old build apparently...
^^ So you dont see the correlation of rise in of DRM following rise in PC games piracy?
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-09-30-how-bad-is-pc-piracy-really-article?page=3 interesting article for a few reasons. (One of them the diverging thoughts on whether downloads really corresponds to decline in sales.) |

What... you have to BUY the beta???
I loved 1942 and BF 2... but thought 2142 was the biggest pile of steaming horse **** i had ever seen served up as a game. Jesus it was ****.
And now EA want to SELL betas for a game that will spy on you? Give me a break.
And CCP Horse, EVE Online by comparison is perfect. Only 1 bug that i have ever seen and thats the warp tunnel. Everything else works great.
EA is ****. [img]http://i53.tinypic.com/bebnf8.jpg[/img] |

Don't purchase any game that hasn't been out for 6 months.
No one releases quality products that are finished anymore, everything is rushed and released horribly broken now a days. I haven't seen anything released in the last 5 years that is any good that isn't horribly, horribly broken for the first 6 months.
Quality in the gaming industry has gone down the toilet over the last 5+ years...it's more about making $$ than releasing quality products now. |

That said, buying it anyway >_>
Yes, that's terrible that a company would release a game with bugs! Wait...
Not to be an ass...but if you are going to release a shelf game, ie non-MMO, it should work out of the box period. Any shelf ready game should not have to be endlessly patched just to get it to work. Once upon a time, you could go to the store and purchase a game and it would just work when you installed it. Somewhere over the last 5 or 6 years, being able to purchase a game that isn't horribly broken is getting more and more rare.
It's unacceptable to sell someone something that is completely broken and unusable. I can understand that happening with MMOs to a degree, but installing a game that is shelf ready on hardware that is above the minimum system requirements and has a completely up to date OS + up to date drivers is absolutely inexcusable. Hell, they can't even release console games anymore that aren't horribly broken, and that's a no brainer! You don't have to worry about an amalgamation of hardware + software with a console, and they STILL can't release working games for consoles.
The gaming industry has gone to ****, and it's really sad. Once upon a time most development shops put pride in their work, this is no longer the case, and it's only getting worse. |

Bc2 was dices weakest game so far, I have high hopes for the battlefield series which stand apart from the bad company series(which where aimed for consoles).
I am getting it, (preordered).
Kinda agree with the above sentiment though, folks are getting sloppy. |

I have it pre-ordered and am loving the beta. The build we're playing is at least 4 months old. So a lot of the bugs we're experiencing have already been fixed. Caspian Border is jaw dropping on my rig. I'm going to be big into this one! If you have even a passing interest in this game you should check it out. |

Well I played the Beta this weekend and even on my mediocre rig it ran pretty smooth (not ultra of course). Pretty happy as I pre-ordered the damn thing without checking Not as much fun as BF2142, but visually very impressive. Green unformed guys fighting green uniformed guys in a forest is a pain tough. I miss my scout drone !!! FIRE FRIENDSHIP TORPEDOES ! |

It ran just fine on my 4-year old PC, and 9800 GT. The graphics obviously weren't maxed, but, turned up far enough to still look great without lag.
