Not really. Borrowed my friends Origin account to have a play and since Origin are trying to compete with Steam I would have though it's either the same process or even easier/better but I was sadly mistaken. It's a resource hungry mess of a platform with adverts plastered all over the place. Since my HDD died with BF3 on it (now replaced with a new HDD) i've really not been bothered to re-install or play the game. Since you guys seem to love Origin so much, i'm sure you can look for ward to their amazing Sales that they're bound to have.
