I don't care ! :p I got mine for 3$ on 2010 winter sales :) And I prefer to have all my games on the same platform. If not, what's the purpose of buying online ? I don't want to open uPlay, Origin and Steam at each startup in case I want to play Battlefield 2, Mass Effect or Killing Floor lol

The nice part about the Origin downloads is if you select the option to keep the installation files cache after installing a game, you can then copy those files to external media and install locally anywhere, with or without Origin installed. YOu then just need a CD Key compatible with either retail or Origin version of BF2.

Also, much easier to get Mumble overlay working with Origin than Steam.

It's so cheap, which is great for the wallet, and it's the best game with the best mods, this being the king of it all in terms of realism and fun.

The CD-key, I presume, is given when BF2 is purchased on Origin, yes?

Yes. It links with an account you make and you can view the CD key somehow. I can't remember exactly how because I don't use Origin as much as Steam.

Lame EA, they only sell the Bf2 complete collection for € 9.99 on the Dutch origin store :(
