Battlefield 4 [PC] help

My friend bought be this game on origin (the premium edition, for whatever reason). I had loved BF3 on 360, and i figure itll be simple enough to play. nope.

how do I play a game? I had to install some sketchy-ass program called “Punk-Bunker” because I couldnt find any lobbies that didnt require it, but even then I cant even stay in a lobby for 30 seconds wthout being booted for ‘service communication error’. also, how do I navigate the website? seems clunky and tedious.

Punk-Buster is a PC anti-cheat service. It’s been around since the original Half-Life in 1998, it’s not sketchy.

you’ll forgive me for my apprehension, the website looks straight of the 90’s. I’m glad you had such valuable information for me, thank you.

Yeah, they don’t spend much time on updating their UI. And BTW I just found out the big bf4 sub is /r/battlefield_4
