I've never played BF3, but I've heard great things about it. Is it worth installing Origin?

Love me some free games.

Definitely. Good times, good times, but you need to find a team STAT - it's not a game that you can experience to the fullest without a team of friends.

More like Battlefield Free, am I right?

I hope so.

Depends, does the opportunity to get free presumably good games outweigh some of the dubious business practices EA as a whole partakes in? If the answer to that question is yes for you, then by all means go for it :p

That it true, you can get better deals for Battlefield 3 Premium if you look around. That being said, the free version is a good free taster before taking it a step further and getting Battlefield 3 Premium or Battlefield 4.

Yeah , i didnt know it was cheaper elsewhere a quick google was to see if indeed it was a good deal... not sure what the free version offers , does it contain online play ? or ?

Nooooo
Noooo
Noo

BF4 on PC is still a clusterfuck of bugs and glitches, even after all the patches. Lol.

It's the original full game, just no DLC maps or anything. Online play and everything is included.

Everybody knows that.

I wonder if it is worth to install Origin for the free games. (I know that I could get a VM for that, but that would destroy the performance of the game )

 

[pwsincd]

installing a free app for free games.. wtf is there to ponder ?

People like to get buttmad when a company has more interests in money than the consumer, AKA literally every company ever. I think at some point there was some bullshit "ORIGIN SPIES ON YOU OMG" fear mongering or something and people still think it does, despite there being no proof that it was ever a thing.


I honestly think people who take a company's business practice as personal insults is absolutely silly, but hey...people.

Origin is a spyware-like thing. :/

 

[pwsincd]

It's amazing where the paranoid mind can take you.

 

[frogboy]

Honestly, my only gripe with Origin is having to deal with yet another game manager. But heck, it's a free former retail-priced game. Can't say no to that.

I have other gripes with EA, but this isn't the place to talk about that, now is it?

It's literally the same paranoia as with the Kinect. Origin is just a "worse" Steam, that's all there is to it.
