Sites which ask me to specifically turn off adblock get a thumbs down by me.
64-bit OS recommended, about time.

I'm sure users who negate the effectiveness of a website's revenue stream get a big thumbs down from the guy trying to pay the hosting bill too

Not surprised really... XP was years ago =\

I still like XP, works a treat, never had any real problems with it.

With the new line of Intel and AMD cpu's coming this year I guess I've got an excuse to upgrade to Windows 7 64bit.

Sinny · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:06

This means I have to upgrade :mad:

Clum · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:08

Bet it will still work on XP though. "not supported" just means they haven't extensively tested it.

Edit: That'll teach me to not read the link before posting.....didn't realise it was DX11 only. Hope it still works with DX10 though as I'm not really ready to upgrade form a GTX280 yet.

About time, keep the technology moving and not stuck in the past

No DX9 support?

But consoles only do DX9?

Must mean no console port for BF3 then.

PinkFloyd · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:10

If only they'd make it 64bit only.

Nope its not going to support DX9 anymore.

this means XP wont be supported, The PC version wont be a console port :cool:

Would this also mean it wont come out for console as well?

Relentless81 · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:13

Of course its coming out for consoles. The PC is being deceloped seperatley rather than ported I believe and hope its true too

bainbridge · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:14

Glad I went with W7 a year ago

chris_uk333 · 3 Jan 2011 at 17:14

If it's not being ported, then respect to Dice

Could actually be a great game!
