"We're going to move all of our games onto our service that when you agree to use it, you give us access to look at your computer. Oh and it's behind every other competitor." Origin is a terrible, terrible service. Not only is it terrible, but they have the ability to delete your account and remove your games. This was a threat EA released when people were playing on modded BF3 Beta Servers. This could mean the loss of a dozen or more games for people, just for clicking on the wrong server. I will not be buying the game on PC, nor will I pirate the game. I like DICE and really enjoy their games. I will be getting it instead on console. I'd rather have lesser graphics and less people in game than have to install Origin. There are problems with this game. 1) Hit Detection. Their netcode for the client side hit detection is pretty bad. On Metro, you had to have a low ping to make a shotgun work, as often a high ping would result this. You getting a shot off close range, getting a hit marker, then dying, and then seeing your opponent run around with 100% health. Frustrating. 2) Squads. Trying to get into a game with one friend was near impossible let alone trying to get into the same game with 2 or 3. There are more but they've said they're working on it or it's been fixed already. 3) Maps. I need to know there's alot of the and that they're going to play differently. I want big maps and small maps and everything inbetween. TL;DR: I wont buy the game on PC because of Origin and will wait until most major bugs are fixed after opening day. squads have obviously been fixed, its battlefield lol.... talking about maps means you have never played a battlefield before...cause every single one has had amazing maps. as for hit detection, they have said everything is better in retail. for me personally, the hit detection was almost perfect besides the running = more dmg bug. i feel like i would know since I managed to get so many headshots with bolt action rifles. | ||

Yeah, exactly. Because the hit detection is client-side. That means you give an enemy a headshot, and in his point of view he's already behind a corner. Also can you give a quote / source where they said it would be better in retail? I only know of this: + Show Spoiler + 10. Why is the hit detection seemingly different from Battlefield: Bad Company 2? The netcode is one of the many things that we are testing as part of the Open Beta and is not necessarily reflective of the final retail game. The DICE team appreciates and has heard the feedback you’ve provided and is further optimizing online play. They only say they will play around with it, and maybe change something. Or leave everything as it is. | ||

8800GTS Q6600 4Gb ram Also, the whole version deal is weird. One finnish shop has pre-order possibility, but if its not the limited edition then does it include the physical warfare pack and/or the kar... whatever maps? I know it would be on DVD... | ||

Again, I'd wager on having to use BFlog anyway so does it really matter? Maybe we can even log onto BFlog without origin and play it, but is it really origin people are upset with? not bflog? | ||

There is no way in which a single finger can be faster and more precise. It boils down to a mechanics, that's all. However I will agree that a console aiming is harder to master as a whole, than a mouse one, but on the pro level and on a mass level it is inferior. The entire game is balanced around consoles, and has no competitive future on PC. deal with it | ||

This will change your nickname in battlefield 3/origin. I tested it, it seems to work. | ||

Especially Damavand Peak sounds interesting... BFcom.org Thanks for the link. Maps doesn't look that good to me, though. But i guess i need to play them before really commentating.. Glad we are still getting those old BF2 maps. | ||
