OK, your game is likely pirated then, uninstall it and buy it from Origin so you get multiplayer
Tapau, I don't think a pirated version will work with Origin, he'd better completely uninstall the game and download again, pirated games and software are tweaked in a way they wouldn't work with a legal Origin account as very often they rip off a lot of functions to make sure anti-piracy software don't kick in, one of the measures is removing all functions allowing the connection to any Official game server, they modify/crack the main exe and dlls as well, I doubt he will save time by keeping it there, Origin might detect the illegal version and lock the account, he will have to completely remove the game to be sure he doesn't get into trouble, also cleaning windows register after uninstalling the illegal copy will help then buy and install the game from Origin
Yes, if it was an actual illegal copy, then you are correct, he should fully uninstall the game. I had just thought by his vague description that he just happened to buy a used PC, and BF4 was still installed on the hard drive. If this were true, then he would be able to leave it installed.
@TapouTony420 Yeahh but it's better to assume the copy is illegal and act like it was, it's safer to just remove and buy/install from Origin, just in case :-p
