Re: Origin will be required

Ok cheers guys then we can make a username thread and TGN can get a server set up for us:p

There is already a username thread.

And yeah, the server worked real well with BC2. Im sure it will be smashing with BF3.

Re: Origin will be required

Actually, scratch what I said about the personas. I just realized what zh1nt0 was saying. It contradicts what I heard earlier, but I assume this is more up-to-date. So we are stuck with our EA Master ID's as our in-game nicks? That is insanely stupid.

Re: Origin will be required

Your soldier name is reliant on the persona's in your EA account I believe, not sure how you make a different persona the Origin one though

luckily for me mine is MrChris_CJ ha so no little bitch can steal mah name

Re: Origin will be required

Yeah, but I picked my name 6 years ago when whatever name you picked had no bearing on your in-game name since you could always make personas.

I hate you EA, I hope some insane hacker group destroys you. On a more direct note, I am very upset about this origin thing. I signed up for origin a month ago to get free games offered by them and saw what a mess it is. It's like a really really bad/slow version of steam.

But does it really matter once the game has been installed? I mean, I would much have preferred to get it on Steam, but I doubt I will notice much difference when I am playing.

Re: Origin will be required

Thats funny too as I have downloaded a few games from Origin and I thought it was way faster than Steam was. I havent had any strange issues either. Buddy list works well.

I guess I just have the golden download of Origin.

Re: Origin will be required

Buddy list glitches on me sometimes and I have to log in/log out sometimes, but everything else is fine. It loads much faster and it downloads almost .5 MB/s faster than Steam.

Re: Origin will be required

Im actually finding i prefer it to Steam other than the fact i have no games on it.

Re: Origin will be required

If they fix the high CPU usage and add some more community features, it wouldn't be bad at all. The UI is much nicer than Steam's.

Re: Origin will be required

Anyone try out the new Steam trade beta, the buddy list had a complete overhaul and you can organize your contacts now like the game library. I can sort them into good friends, SSFIVAE, BFBC2 players and CoD players now.

Dang that's nice! I've never been to original with my names, I wish I could come up with something special that I only have. Throughout my gaming I've used things like WillKill4Cooki, Shifty, OLDSPICE, UniformSierra, Yourlovingmother, etc.

I think I'm going to refer to military weapon names for my BF3 nick. They have awesome names for weapons and operations.

Re: Origin will be required

I'm gonna cross my fingers and hope that qtracker will be able to be used with BF3 since the game has to be used with an external (origin) program.
