Razor1911 Release Origin Bypass for Battlefield 3
By Miodrag Kovačević | November 1, 2011 | News | 8 comments | Share
Razor1911, the (in)famous warez group that has been operating since 1985 has released an Origin bypass for Battlefield 3. Considering the group’s history, there is no doubt whether it works or not in theory. The problem lies in what EA’s reaction may be. After all, the company threatened to ban any Origin account playing on modded BF3 servers during the beta. Who’s to say they won’t do the same to anyone trying to bypass their new digital service? And, of course, a minor update to the game could easily make the cracked .exe invalid.
The interesting bit, however, is Razor’s own statement on the matter.
Razor1911 doesn't accept and support the online DRM 'Origin' from EA.This release is dedicated to our fans worldwide who bought this game on legal way and don't want to install the trojan from Electronic Arts to play online.
Warez groups protecting customer rights, or just dirty pirates? My advice is that if you aren’t happy with Origin, don’t use Origin or any associated product. The market’s big enough to seek out alternatives.
I support them, they are right.. Origin is just spy software...
@John - 2nd emotion here. ORigin was buggy as hell! EA like craptivision blizzard
"Warez groups protecting customer rights, or just dirty pirates? "
This bypass does nothing for people who would want to play BF3 with a pirated version of the game, as far as I know
Yeah, this release is specifically targeted at people who actually bought the Game, not the ones who are using a Cracked version. Must say, its very considerate of them.
"Warez groups protecting customer rights, or just dirty pirates?"
Warez groups have always been on the frontline of customer convenience and protecting rights. For years whenever I bought a new game I would first go to sites such as GameCopyWorld for no-cd cracks and ways to make personal backups.
BF3 is only available on the PC via Origin. Don't use terms like: "My advice is that if you aren’t happy with Origin, don’t use Origin or any associated product. The market’s big enough to seek out alternatives." If BF3 was available on the PC via other outlets, cool. But it's not.
@Anon - Don't play BF3 then? There are alternatives for that if you are against Origin and the only way to play BF3 is using Origin.
Calling razor dirty pirates is so fucking unfair i can't count how many games they have made me buy just be course i played a cracked one + origin sucks. It is stupid that we have to use 2 services to run the game. first origin then Battlelog with also is petty damn awful
