(Legitimately in mp, I mean) If not, then is it safe to assume that Origin is less intricately tied into BF3 then Steam is to, say, Left 4 Dead? Depends. Portal 2 would let you play multiplayer with the pirate version by running console commands, and not using steam at all. I was seeing weird behavior from some people who I randomly joined, such as their pointer not working. A quick google later and turns out that's one of the symptoms of using the pirate version. If it works with the pirate version, presumably it would work with the legit version (I never tried it with my purchased copy) Anyway, yes, origin is less tied than steam in general to valve games, since it's mostly a launcher and they use an entirely separate web browser based server thing.
