Origin Client???

**Ballsyone** · 10-25-11, 09:13 PM

Recieved an email from EA informing me to download this "Origin Client" in order to avoid delays playing BF3. I downloaded and saved to my desktop. Now it is asking me which program I want to open it with. I haven't installed BF3 yet so I am just wondering...will it be an automatic deal AFTER I install the game or what?

Uhhhh, what?

Origin is like Steam, Ballsy. You need it running to play BF3. So...it brings the number of programs need to run the game up to 3: Punkbuster, an internet browser, and Origin. Bloatware!

Aiight, cool. I just bought the BF3 DVD today at Frye's. Will prolly load it on Friday. Too busy now. So after it's loaded will it automatically open that program that is sitting on my desktop or do I have to open it with a certain program or what?

Yeah I really hate where they decided to go as far as the server browsing is concerned. I don't know if they were lazy or what but it can't be that hard to have a stand alone client that has a built in server browser. :/
