Is there gate checkin at ORD, or does everyone have to get a boarding pass before going through security now? </font>
You should be able to check in at the gate, assuming you have only carry-on luggage. But you need appropriate paperwork to get through security. With an E-ticket, you need a printed receipt showing your itinerary.
United's advisory: Only those passengers holding an electronic-ticket receipt, travel agency itinerary, boarding document, paper ticket or united.com confirmation will be allowed past the security checkpoint. Passengers holding electronic tickets without receipts must check in at ticket counters in the airport lobby.
