[citation][nom]DarkBlue21[/nom]The Battlelog wasn't that bad and like what you said, all those perks is kind of cool, but I'd much rather have a traditional game screen that can do almost all of that, or at the very least make it optional to use Battlelog on the browser.Origin on the other hand is like steam, the reason I don't like it is because it is just like steam, I already have steam, and don't want to add anymore crap onto my computer. Plus having the ToS state that EA may gather personal and/or computer information or game/app usages for marketing purposes is like having a spyware.And to your third statement, I loled when I read it, it doesn't really matter to EA cause to them I am a nobody, sure me and my friends are no longer getting the game, but either way that's like a few customers down the drain. I'm not getting the game because I want to know that I actually fully own the game and can pass it down to a family member without having them to shell out whatever it costs for the online pass. And fyi I actually did okay on the beta (it was a lot fun, no doubt about that), and I was always a fan of Battlefield, I've owned Battlefield 1942, 2, and 2142, but never touched the bad company series.[/citation]
You called Battlelog Lame. First of all, they went with browser based battle log because it's the better choice. It's a fully functional, great working service provided for free. As I already explained, it also allows it to be updated and maintained without having to mess with the game itself. It's by far the best server browser/match making set up I've ever had the pleasure of playing (and I've pretty much played everything worth playing on the PC for past 15+ years.)
2nd, you're advocating for a monopoly. I have steam, we all like steam, but competition is one of the most nessesary parts of an economy. And you act as if origin is a ton of milicious files. It's a couple hundred MB and you can set it to not start up at launch from the get-go. It has no adverse effects on a system.
Also, if you hate their requirement to buy an online key unique to the user, you should hate PC gaming in general. If I buy Left4Dead on steam brand new for 49.99 but my wife and kid want to play with me, I have to buy TWO more copies of the same exact game(That's over $150 for one household to play 1 game). Where if I bought it on a console like Xbox, I could do 4 players on 1 game disk. So your hatred for EA's new online key requirements is both unwarranted and over exaggerated.
3rd, "Did *okay* in the beta" sounds like a synonym for "I'm a baddy"
