I've been a Battlefield fan since 1942 and I have every single one exept for those Bad Company ones. And yes, I love Battlefield 3 as well, Dice did an amazing job on it. But EA, are you kidding me? I didn't think origin was that bad at first, cause I don't like hating. But now that I've actually had a chance to use it properly I'm kinda pissed off. I can't even start my goddamn game? And I know alot of people are having the same problem. I've installed it and enterd the cd-key and so on, so why can't I start the game? This whole thing and other mistakes made by EA (Not including 1943 on ps3 anyone?) has really brought down my enjoyment of it so far, too bad when the actuall game is great...

I dont bother getting pissy about publishers etc doing "Evil" shit. If Activision wants to be a disk or sell things at certain prices whatever business is business and I can always just say no but EA seem to have become a class into their own. Not letting you boot the game from the game? WTF. Its not as if they couoldnt have seen this stuff coming months ago, but I digress. Why wont it let you play a game? Do you get Errors or somthing?

I think it's awesome that you at least were able to install the game. I'm stuck at the activation page, which will not load at all for me. Only giving me the good old "This page cannot be loaded".. sigh

Your games. Anywhere, anytime.

Yeah right....

Yup, can't activate tha game either. The activation servers seem to be overloaded or some crap. I was totally expecting this. ^^ http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7667672.page

You're old.

I installed it, but was booted from every server within a minute, with no message as to why. On top of that, Battlelog is complete idiocy, and origin sucks in general. I tried playing the Single Player but it crashed in under an hour and I have no idea why. Sigh

Update your Punk Buster?

It did that for me for Battlefield Bad Company 2 until I did that.

HA!

God damnit. Yep.

Sure there are still some kinks to work out but battlelog is a fantastic addition and hopefully more games use a similar system in the future.

People just like to hate new things.

Also it wouldn't be a DICE game if the online experience wasn't completely fucked for a large number of people for at least the first week. If you've been a battlefield fan as long as you said you've been I don't see why you expected a smooth launch,

yes i just had my first shitty origin experience. i went to best buy bought the game and tried installing it but it won't it will not install from the disk it just opens origin and nothing happens so i have to download the game instead of installing from a disc (which would be a shitload quicker than waiting 2hrs for a download) honestly why release a physical copy of the game on pc if it's just going to force me to download it

People should stop looking forward to games so much.

I'm 18, and I played 1942, but only with bots. It was a shitload of fun even with just bots, same with BF Vietnam. Those were a couple years after the games came out, but still. Also, I was like 14 at the time.

I can't make the joke any clearer.

They have certainly handled this launch poorly, which is unfortunate because it distracts from the quality of their game. I only played the beta but it looks pretty cool from what I've seen, but hopefully EA learns from this and does a better job with its upcoming releases.

@Brendan: Clearly I'm too tired to be internetting at this point, it didn't even cross my mind that that might be a joke or some shit.

Ive been a bf fan since the great depression, and lemme tell you why EA is evil. They like to make money! Dont you hate it when people want to make money? I know I do

Occupy EA
