Pretty much the same for ETQW back then, we all know how it ended. Of course the two games can't be compared, but still it will be interesting if there's gonna be any 'serious' BF competition or just your usual first week sponsored tournaments.
BF42 was nice, had quite some leagues back then. Then again the competetive scene at that time was different and mostly about playing online anyway. No idea if it had many LANs (it had a couple!)
i guess the pre-orders were canceled cause the noobs got rolled.
nobody rly cares about this origin stuff. well apart from sweaty fat lefty slobs you dont like other people to make money at no real cost to themselfs. making money is good so get over this origin shit. remember all the tards whining about steam but that didnt stop it either and nobody rly minds it anymore.
the main problem is privacy not the money, dont you read anything?
edit to your edit: steam only collects data related to its own products, EA can scan whatever they want of your whole pc, they're barely even in the same ball park so i dont see why you keep comparing them
copypasta sauceIt’s not unusual for such software to collect information from your computer relating to itself, and it’s not unknown that using that software means you agree to this information being distributed anonymously to third parties. Steam, for instance, warns that it will,
“store information on a user’s hard drive that is used in conjunction with online play of Valve products. This includes a unique authorization key or CD-Key that is either entered by the user or downloaded automatically during product registration. This authorization key is used to identify a user as valid and allow access to Valve’s products. Information regarding Steam billing, your Steam account, your Internet connection and the Valve software installed on your computer are uploaded to the server in connection with your use of Steam and Valve software.”
But there’s a significant difference. Valve’s policy is self-restricted to anything on your PC directly relating to its own products. EA’s is so broad that it gives the publisher permission to scan your entire hard drive, and report back absolutely anything you may have installed, and indeed when you may use it, and then pass that information on the third parties.
you dont seem to get that i dont care. if there is no downside for me (non-original software presecution) i dont care. if they can use the trash on my PC to make money they may do that i am happy to be of assistance.
making money is good
if you dont care so much and its just your opinion, why is everyone that suddenly disagrees with you a noob that got rolled and a fat sweaty slob? if you want to have your opinion that you're entitled to then by all means take it, just dont categorise the rest of us as morons because you're taking EA's dick in your ass and are okay with it
before playing the game online so they could gather such information was optional, with the introduction of origin it is not, you can either register the game through origin and they will take the information regardless of whether you play single player only or not
tl;dr before it was optional, now its not unless you'd rather have no game at all
Ill buy original game anyway
Thats what it is supposed to be
BF3 wuld be the same imo :/
this is how you own in bf3
I just wish more people would do that instead of eating up all the shit that publishers shove down their throats.
Hopefully this twitter post is not a fake.
Disappointed.
else its not worth

saying stuff like that is just pathetic.
Privacy is non-existent nowadays
Also funny how this comes up with bf beta while its been there for ages on EA games :D
