    Nice deal, but I don't play battlefield at all.

    Ea and origin are a terrible company combo. They have no regard for their customers. All they care about is your money. I've seen numerous people's accounts permabanned for trying to "hack" in their servers when in reality they were doing nothing wrong. There is no reasoning with them at all.

    Too bad none of the BF3 expansion packs are on sale, I might have actually bought one.

    Oh well BF3 is not much fun most of the time anyways; so many cheaters its hard to get a fair round in.

    $10 for BF3 + $50 for premium so you can actually join a server with other players on it rather than getting kicked back in every queue + $50 for shortcuts so you don't get raped by people with better weapons, vehicles, and equipment in your first game experience. Not worth it especially given that the game has been hacked to bits. On the upside, some of the hacking tools are free now!

    There is definitely alot hacking, but really, how can you complain? 10$ is definitely a good investment for BF3. I mean hell buy it on a new account made solely for that purpose then resell it to some chump for more....

    Hacking is terrible in like any online game. Just get over it and play on a new server or wait for the person to be banned from the server.

    People talk A LOT about bad experiences with BF3 or other online games in general, maybe the experience isn't bad because of the game, but because of how you act to other people on these servers. People don't want to play with dicks and get kicked. Granted yes, there are a few bad eggs who own servers, but for the most part most of the servers are great. But I see A LOT more people who join servers to cheat/hack/troll and get kicked then go and complain somewhere on how bad such and such server is or the game itself.

    And most of the guns aren't better. A lot of players use the starter guns as their main gun. They aren't bad. It's just you. I'd say most the guns are more balanced than the guns in COD will ever be.

    Last game I bought through Origin i did for the COOP mode. After I bought it I found out they didn't even support COOP on the version I purchased. The sole reason I bought it.

    That was it for me. I'm done with EA.
