Origin update adds achievements

EA has updated its Origin service with new features, such as the addition of achievements.

Achievements earned in popular EA titles such as Battlefield 3 will now be viewable on a player's profile.

EA are calling it an "Origin Point" total, and it'll be similar to the Gamerscore system on Xbox 360.

The update also features an overhauled Application Settings menu, while PC players can automatically archive whatever gameplay footage they broadcast.

Version 9.2.1 of Origin is available now for players who are part of the beta updates, but it'll be released to everyone else over the next few weeks.
