    Agreed. Making a whole bunch of accounts and spreading my personal information is a hassle, to say the least. If BF3 isn't available on Steam because EA wants to bully its customers, then I may not be buying BF3 at all. But I don't think Crysis 2's removal is anything to get worked up about just yet. Other EA titles are still available on Steam. :p

    How many are pre ordering it for the extra weapons? It sounds like a big advantage for the extra weapons, probably end up in a dlc in the end.

    As dice said, its not gonna be anything ground breakingly good. Its just gonna add some variety and if you like the gun then it could be a good arsenal :) But i figured that i might as well pre-order when im going to buy it when it comes out anyways :D

    I'm in this camp, though it's more for EA's love of DLC than them avoiding Steam. BFBC2 was a great deal compared to CoD because of the free map packs and also all the sales going on where you could pick it up for around $6. I don't mind missing out on pre-order bonuses when I can get the game for more than half off not even an year after release. Also I'm still working on my pile of shame from last year's Steam summer sales.

    I know how you feel. I'll probably wait for next summer for some sales.

    I also have a pile I haven't touched since the sales including
    Far Cry
    Crysis
    Dead Space
    Splinter Cell: Conviction
    Dawn of War II + Retribution
    Amnesia
    Batman Arkham Asylum
    Fallout: New Vegas (just picked this one up...)


    Not to mention the ones I still have to finish. I'm pretty set on games until a long time from now, seeing as I'll probably end up getting more this summer and christmas...

    Preordered both Battlefield 3 & Mass Effect 3 off Origin.

    Sincerely hope they adopt the hitbox from the Vietnam dlc.
    Its perfect.

    EA is trying to ____ the world, if this works, all major game developers will soon follow...

    You are a sinner ordering ME 3 off of Origin. That game deserves to be brought on physical media with Collector's Edition! :rolleyes: :p
