Yeah once I learned it was going to require origin anyways I caved and preordered it there. You win this round EA 
Yeah, but Steam also allows you to opt-out and not send them anything, which I did when I realized just how much data they were going to get that I didn't think they had any right to.
Does Origin give you that choice? Is there a checkbox somewhere in the options that will turn it off?

This should help you calibrate your expectations.

As do I. Had a few rounds today.
For further 'calibration' here is that very same map recorded by someone who doesn't make trailers for a living. Aside from the lack of cinematic camera movement, and the fact that the demo recorder wasn't given a very high priority setting on the server (led to some jerky movements on playback, especially in slo-mo scenes) it looks close enough:
The only fake thing I can notice in that trailer is an extra sound effect when the planes are going by.

There's only 5 minutes left
Supposedly the Beta starts next week and in my latest Origin update it says that BF3 preorders have a 48 hour headstart on the Beta

XB360 gameplay too. Looks great, especially for 360!

I'd be prepared to pick up the 360 version as well now if it weren't for Live
That shouldn't be legal... AMAZING lighting there! that actually approaches reality really really well.
This makes no sense. Battlefield is a multiplayer game, so why would Live be the thing that prevents you from getting it?

Perhaps the $3-4 a month is too much for him to pay despite all the features XBLive would bring to the table.
I've primarily been a PC gamer through all my years, and I simply don't see anything in Live gold that justifies its pay to play cost

Compared with $0-$0 per month you can understand his reasoning. To say nothing of paying more for the game itself in the first place.
