A lot of us use Steam as our social hub for PC gaming, eg IM'ing our Steam buddies, etc. Also many like to utilise handy Steam features like screenshot taking (+ uploading said shots to Steam Cloud) and in-game web browsing (Yes, I know that the Origin in-game overlay has a browser too, but it blows). It's entirely possible to have Steam overlay access whilst playing BF3.

What you have to do is add Origin as a non-Steam game. From there just access the Properties of the Origin shortcut from within the Steam client's My Games tab, rename it to Battlefield 3 and finally change the icon to that of the bf3.exe.

Old news but origin still has to be running so we just use that and kill steam because it is not needed
