Hey everyone,
Origin and Steam will not be able to play online together. When crossplay is introduced later in development, then all platforms can play together in supported crossplay modes (Social Play and Two-Player Career modes)

I've had three EA employees on the phone so far.
Person 1 told me last week that it'd be possible for Steam and Origin to play together within a few days.
Person 2 told me that Steam and Origin can already play together since it's both on the same platform (PC).
Person 3 told me that the next patch will enable cross-play.
Person 1 and person 2 turned out to be liars. So I don't have very high hopes of what person 3 told me...

My guess is Person 3 isn't right either but given you have zero confidence either way I'd stop asking if I were you. If there is solid news I bet we'll see it here, or possibly on the official Twitter feed. It would make no sense to just give it to some EA helpdesk staff to tell people if they ask. Also bear in mind that an EA helpdesk will cover all games. It's not like calling the relevant Codemasters team.
