no you wont require to have origin in order to play. BUT it is highly likely digital download purchase of the game will only be available through origin.. they (EA) are trying to compete with steam. Which i think is dumb. Cos if i did end up buying a digital copy, i would add it to my list of games in steam any way. they should sell on both.. just have it cheaper on origin.

It's not dumb at all to compete with steam. Ill probably preorder on origin just for the karkand stuff.

Use platform which wants 20-30% of a sale
Use our own platform which we own and dont lose revenue on

Steam basically takes money from developers for doing nothing beyond uploading it to their own servers. If EA wants to sell it on their own service, they should. I see no reason why a company should essentially lose money to another company and receive basically nothing in return.

And regarding the DLC: Is there going to be a competitive advantage for players who get it or will it not matter? Right now everyone's just speculating and assuming unlocked weapons will be better than the ones already in the game.

This probably will be an "only on origin" game.
GJ, EA.

@kennigit, IIRC steam cut is maximum of 5% of a sale (I believe it's less for smaller developers, it's been rumoured that some indie games actually get given money per sale they get on steam), any extra costs come from featuring your game on the frontpage or skins, getting news promotions etc. It's possible they've changed the deal since I got my lookin on the system, but valve has always made their service as inexpensive as possible, it's why it took off so well.

that and you get your game distributed on a channel that most gamers are willing to trust, even admire. I'm sure you understand how important trust and reputation is amongst our communities, it's showing even here. People don't question steam any more, I don't think people understand just how incredible an achievement that is on valve's part.

I seriously don't know how this will turn out.

"Squad Leader confirmed, 4 Person Squad
Ability to spot a Enemy Squad Leader
Equippable Grenades
Falling debris from destruction 3.0 can kill players!
Equippable knife as well as quick knife (like BC2)
Support class able to mount bipods and give ammo
Rifleman class has medpack + defibrillator
Ability to change fire modes in multiplayer (semi/burst/auto)
Regenerative health in MP, but suppression effect stops regen (only regen when you aren't under fire)
Suppression effects from LMG, blur vision
Flashlights can blind the enemy
First Person Animations in Multiplayer
Faction Specific Weapons + Unlocks
Vehicles can be immobilized before being destroyed
Able to opt out of Revives in Multiplayer
3D spotting"


Some of the things in the list are scary if you were a fan of BF2. But atleast some of these aren't "100% confirmed" yet, if you take a look at the developer team's(?) twitter questions.


@zh1nt0 Can we PC Crowd please get a Commander tool, I understand why it wont be necessary for 12v12 But wiht 8 4 man squads PC needs it.
@ZodiacFalconFan Not confirming commander but feedback is noted!

@Demize99 Well, since @zh1nt0 is not entitled to do so, can YOU confirm (or not) that 3D spotting is a server option for those curious?
@drifter92 @zh1nt0 Not ready to confirm anything about spotting since we're still working on the game.


But we will see. Still pre ordered the whole thing months ago.

Yeah I don't exactly see how one can bitch at EA for this. They're big enough that they can do their own thing.

The only thing on that list that is meh to me is the rifleman having the medic stuff. Then again, the m60 in bc2 was boss.

I've thought all of the BF series has generally been very good. The only disappointing one was 2142. that thing was impossible to play on the pc in Titan mode without a beast of a computer, and it was buggy and didn't feel very future-ish

Yup my thoughts to. i'm pre-ordering just so I get that karkand add on when it comes out free :D, karkan always was amazing and getting 4 maps + some old weapons is awesome ^^. And its the same as if you didn't pre=order so no reason not to imo, at least if you plan on getting this game 100% like me :D.
When I think of something else, something will go here

In BF2 medics had assault rifles as well. I like the class system in this game far better than the one in BC2.

YES! Tactical flashlights finally have a purpose in multiplayer gaming! All they did in previous games was give away your position, lol.

I'm glad they're really stepping it up for CQB in this game. In the past Battlefield games, fighting indoors or in tight environments was always awkward.

I keep on confusing all the more modern titles. Bleh.

BC2 was good, but I much prefer the non BC titles. I like me prone and all that.

I'd also love to have commander back, even if it means suffering through dumb pubs. Sucks though, BF2 and stuff of that like is meant for PC and I'm gonna get stuck on console PC gaming is way too expensive, too much of a headache, and there's few must haves on pc these days.

As far as I understand it the Assault has to choose between grenade launcher and medic equipment, so basically it should be just like BF2 was.

Assault rifles should make up the bulk of the army anyway, not light machine guns, especially with the new suppression system.

I'm so hyped for this game, too hyped in fact. I recently made a mistake and switched to xbox to play halo reach after the failure that MW2 was compared to MW. I simply can't wait to go back to pc gaming, peer to peer gaming is the bane of my existence it's a competitive nightmare, I will now forever boycott non server based multiplayer. And trying to aim with joysticks is so freaking inferior is like trying to masturbate with your thumbs when you can use your whole hand. Anyway this game brings back so much nostalgia from playing 1942 and it's desert combat mod it's such a shame they are dropping xp support; windows 7 is such overpriced garbage and I'm going to have to get it. -_-

Anyone know a summary of Origin's privacy statement? I'm fine with Origin as long as it's spyware free, etc (or at least harmless for the most part. No Rootkit DRMs, etc).

Being a hardcore BF2 Player myself, and a longtime person in the BF2 Mod community, I am incredibly excited for BF3. Although I agree that EA trying to appeal to the Cod Fan base is a terrible choice for anyone who played Bf2, at the end of the day - Everyone is in it for the money. A huge thing that we have to do when it comes out is to start up a Battlefield 3 Teamliquid clan. So many good clans sprout from TL like the Eve corporation. A fan clan that is, not anything official.

I've read in a developer Q&A that the guns are being designed specifically not to be overpowered or provide any advantage, they are only there to "expand your arsenal" but of course we won't know for sure until we see them.

So psyched for this. I'm actually putting hundreds of dollars worth of upgrades into my PC just for this game- I don't want to be stuck playing this on console (though I'm getting the 360 version too, just because its what all my friends have. )

Is there any advantage of preordering on Origin to preordering limited box version normally? I mean I get Back to Karkand and Physical Warfare Pack too...
