What about being forced to use Origin? Heard that was pretty crappy during the alpha.

I "heard" the matchmaking was bad, but that it was like any other server browser besides that.

I can link you a report but I doubt you want to learn German now, now do you?

I don't get Steam... why are they being bitches about DLC because "it's the rules." Yeah, you make up the rules then it forces that company to hurt it's own users (Steam's and EA's customers both) and it's a lose lose situation because now EA has to make sure (or won't at all) that their client will run just as well as Steam.
Sosseres:
Before origin they had several iterations of download clients for their content. EA link and so on (I've bought several titles on it). The only real difference is that the new one takes it a step further with user integration instead of just being a shell needed to run the game. For the end user it doesn't really mean anything (unless they want to use the extra features) if they were part of the crowd that used the legal download solution of previous EA games.
As I said, there really isn't that large difference between this and a server browser in how one would use it. All-Seeing Eye was such a tool for many older games before such things got usefully integrated. Difference being you have to have it running to get it to work at all instead of just getting it to work good. See it as another version of steam if you want to. What annoyed me the most was having to install a browser plugin to use the server browser site.
