It's DRM with a UI No kidding. Multi-layered DRM at that, like a fucking wedding cake. And each layer makes you puke a little more. |

If it's a problem, I'll complain then. Until then, I guess haters gotta hate. |

I stopped playing Battlefield 3 because I could never log in.
You can't play your game at all if you're not online. There is no offline play.
If EA's servers are down, you're toast.
Wait until you can't login for a few days since EA's login servers are Packard Bell 66mhz with 32mb of RAM.
I'll buy it when it's in the $5 discount bin probably, then apply the offline "fix". |

I just went to the battlelog URL in my browser and skipped Origin. It'd have to sync briefly, but then you are totally inside the browser. |

I play lots of online-only games... not a big deal to me personally, but I can understand the concern for others. I'm not saying won't be cracked, but given the integration of the global marketplace stuff and other features, the offline sandbox mode seems like it would be a lot less fun. |

Not sure what to tell you, I have played and continue to play a LOT of bf3 and I think with my entire time playing I was only unable to login once. |
