OK, the part where you man the MMG on the bridge is just stupid in Operation Swordbreaker. It's practically impossible on hard, either you get hit by bullets from god knows where or you get killed by a rocket. There is no cover because the metal barriers get shot off exposing you.

Quiet frankly, it's the hardest part of the whole game.

And then we get taken to a freakin WEBPAGE?!?!?! in order to launch multiplayer...

This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen when it comes to installing/updating/playing a video game.

It's a great game, and I'm not having issues anymore with the updated drivers thank God. But man, why did I have to know years worth of computer understanding in order to make this game work correctly?? This should ALWAYS be made easy, especially a game everyone knows will sell huge numbers, why make it difficult??

Don't mean to be rude but if you think it's hard to work Origin then you need to stop using a PC.

Sometimes I think people go in using software thinking it's a POS before they even used it, especially Steam users' using Origin. They have either heard or already made up their mind it's crap.

i see the issue with complaining about origin having to be installed but you hardly even know its there. I navigate to battlelog through the browser, log in, and launch a game and it works. whats the big deal?

fyi you dont have to launch origin yourself. when you join a server it will start it and log in for you without pressing a button. navigating to battlelog should be your first step

Oh, so they shipped their game on a beta interface system? Classy move. Origin bites the big one. I have to run origin, then it opens a web browser, just to get in a game? Thats ~50-60mb of memory and a chunk of processor time that I don't need to waste on EAs spyware. Its takes effing 5-6 minutes just to get in a game and start playing. For reference, its twice as long as getting into BC2, and four or five times as long as getting into a MW2 game. Fail.

I don't mean to be rude but if you work for EA and/or ride their wang nightly, you shouldn't post on game forums about EA games.

Oh geeze shut up.

There is nothing wrong with Origin. You just have a conflict with your system. Find out what it is and then you are good to go. All this vagina slobbering is annoying.

This. If were to have bought the PC version, this was a stupid move by EA/Dice IMO.

Yeah dude, it uses so much CPU time that origin has used 1minute and 55 seconds in the 24 hours it has been open. You're a smart one.

No, DICE and EA are rolling in a ton of money because of it but clearly you being the business man of the year think they're stupid.
