1234455 2011-09-30 04:21:00 Beta seems to require the installation of some crapware called "origin" Agent_24 (57)
1234456 2011-09-30 05:29:00 Yeah, looks like a copy of steam webstore/client, and people wonder why crysis 2 and bf3 aren't on steam... icow (15313)
1234457 2011-09-30 05:40:00 Ugh.

Battlefield 1942 does not require any such rubbish.

1234458 2011-09-30 05:45:00 So far not to happy with bf3.

First I had to install origin. Then I couldn't ping any servers so I had to disable ESET and my firewall. It uses some crappy web interface for joining games. Oh and I can't play cause im not running beta version drivers.

Then you need to install an extra set of programs to allow net access from your browser, you also need a web browser to play the damn game, then there is the 'orrible lag spikes which makes it look like you're dancing like Michael Jackson (bless him).

You can't knife someone when they see you, it takes a second or two, you can't take a swing and take off some health and my game has been dropped due to loss of connection.

And don't get me started on the EULA.

1234460 2011-09-30 07:27:00 I had that problem too. I eventually found a US server that had no lag :) even though it had a higher ping than the ON3 one and the aussie servers. I also get random flickering of blank colours when in the underground section of the map. However, overall I am impressed and will definitely be pre-ordering. icow (15313)

Origin and the interface are the two reasons I went cold on this game, I even built a PC to run it, Now I'm not going to bother buying it.

I don't need that crap just to play a game, and not having an in-game server browser is beyond retarded.

1234462 2011-09-30 10:17:00 Welcome to the future of gaming, where everything gets launched through some piece of crap bloat-ware rubbish because apparently computer users have become so stupid over the past 2 decades they have no concept of how to install a patch or search through a serverlist.

And they wonder why some people pirate....

1234463 2011-09-30 10:26:00 holy ****, it lags soooo much :lol: GameJunkie (72)
1234464 2011-09-30 20:23:00 I'm guessing your playing on 360. Is there dedicated servers and do you get to pick what server you want to play on? icow (15313)
