Battlefield 3 srsly?

oh, you're talking about the second-hand online pass. I agree with the serial code, just not that you might have to buy another code to play. The code should be limited to a single disc, so that as long as you have the disc, you have a code.

Anyone can copy the disc image along with the key. Pretty simple. There are websites full of NoCD patches enabling a mounted or copied disc image (and key) to be played without the physical media.

They do it to reduce piracy, reduce costs and ensure the code install base is up to date. This is basic a commercial reality and makes a lot of sense.
 
Well I got this working and it's working fine, I don't have a problem with it. It's really different going to a website to open up the game, though. It looks like we're going to have games that are all internet based and you must have the internet to play them. Maybe that's just something that will phase in and the concept of installing games with it's serial code and playing it offline will phase out. I don't see why every game has to do this though.

Also BF3 is so different to BF2. At least, I can't seem to find games that capture flags or have points, unless I am not looking somewhere properly.

I love the origin system. I was skeptical at first, but it is a lot better than most in-game server browsers. You can play BF3 single player offline too btw, you don't need the internet.


And for CTF maps, you want Conquest
