Caspian Border has sold me, but Origin hasn't :S

Well I have been watching TotalBiscuits latest BF3 video and I got to say I am impressed and it brought back many good memories of BF2. But I still have major concerns about Origin? What are peoples experiences with Origin so far? And are any of the concerns brandishing around the forums true?

Origin runs REAL slow for me, I have Win7 64bit and I have heard other people running slow.

Runs fine for me. Its not as bad as alot of people are making it out to be, most of them are just jumping on the bandwagon. The only thing im not a fan of is having to start the game through a webpage.

Just played my first game and Origin is clunky, slow, and feels awkward to use. Maybe it will just take some getting used to.

Origin is still down, and oh dear hurm its annoying. Saying that as a long time user of Origin - the re skinned EA Downloader. Guess it's reflective of the BF2 demo release in 2005. [QUOTE="SouthyClare"]

Not really there are people out there that instantly dislike things that are not steam. Just look at the people saying im not buying BF3 because of origin. Its pathetic

Origin runs extremely smooth. I feel it's faster than xfire and steam for me. Launching the BF3 beta through the browser is much faster and load times are almost instant compared to BC2 and I can even alt+tab and go back in without any slow downs.

Many people just don't like change and can't accept going on a new service. Origin isn't much different than any other service though. You won't even notice it besides having to click "PLAY"

Yes, BF3 is in Beta and you will have a few problems or glitches running it or launching it. Not Origin's fault, just the beta.

Well I got to be honest I am loving the Caspian map, is amazing fun as a sniper but the interface is way way to clunky to enjoy. I hate the launching from the browser and the fact that you have to start a game to alter any of the option including exiting the game is beyond stupid.

im not goin to lie battle log as it is right now rlly sucks. it be fine if just r stats r their but to join a game from it its just clunky and for me the pings arent ever displayed so i dont know what im walking into . they really just need a in game interface t

Hey just what I think about it. I didnt really have to go out of my way to download it, but hey if people dont like what they are doing I suppose thats up to them. Im just more than happy to be playing bf3 and its amazing

Well I don't know how origins runs for games, because i can't even buy them through paypal and I contacted the Support, they can't help me either. EA ist just the same **** as always.

Origin is pretty unimpressive and Battlelog is just a cluster****. They could have saved everyone a lot of headache by implementing all of battlelogs features in-game. I'll manage but man, it is organised pretty horribly.jer_1

A lot of features are disabled on Battlelog, but it is very organized. If they had those features in game it would be extremely slow. Using a browser to select everything is less hardware instensive and then you just launch the game.

If you'd consider Steam as performing outstanding, then from my experience with Origin, I'd also call it outstanding.

People still talking about EA monopolizing and bring Steam into discussion, need to get a clue, there is already a monopoly and Steam has it, but hyprocrites have to talk about these things even if what they're talking about is a monopoly of another company. Pranoia and hypocrisy, that's what best describes the people that hardly have any experience with EADM/Origin, at all even.

Origin runs very slow on my windwos 7 64bit. Clunky...

EA has a very large uphill battle covered in tank traps and mines layed by steam. Steam has had nearly 8 years in the business to perfect and add features, and origin looks like sloppy seconds leftover from your microwave last night. The web-based server browser is also cheesy as hell, but damn...the game itself is incredibly good.
