Dennis wins!

 

[pinkacidbootson]

He does indeed. Never give up on Dennis!

I've just remembered, I was on EA chat to another support member the other day and they informed me that BF3 will not require Origin if running the DVD version.
I assume they were mis-informed because it was confirmed by one of the DICE developers on Twitter that Origin will be required. I do hope so anyway, as many of us have pre-ordered on Origin for just this reason.

 

[LOAM]

I would think Onionring is required regardless. I’ll state now also that battlelog will be THE only game browser and Blaze will collapse on day 1. I will eat the internet if I am wrong.

If the DVD one doesn't need Origin then they'll have to download a NoDVD .exe anyway if they don't want to leave it in the drive.

Why would it not allow the online authentication of bc2?

Hmm. I find that unlikely but I've removed the link, and suggest you do the same from your quote.

I thought their site was a good one.

 

[LeJosh]

No, the site is fine.

Your VIROOOOS came from elsewhere.

 

[LOAM]

From Le Pron.

The new trailer gave me a new level of excitement. Flying a jet with an XBOX pad etc should be fun.

I don't know. I've never played BC2 and was only guessing.

Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

 

[FirebarUK]

I suspect that Origin will allow all those who bought physical BF3 to register it and thus download it anyhow.

Loads link again...
No virus found..

You got it from somewhere else

Considering you HAVE to use Origin, that will be the case.

 

[WiZZyWiGG]

Yeah it will just work like a Steamworks title I imagine, click Install which then installs into Origin.

 

[Frapple]

Seeing as most EA games from 2009 onwards can be activated on Origin (i.e. throw your disks away like Valve games) I imagine this will be the case.

BC2 disk copies let you choose disk activation or online, but that didn't involve Origin, so that's probably scrapped!
