Would you think a Phenom II X4 840 would cut it CPU wise? No L3 cache...

Im sure it will play the game. Remeber all 9most) pc game are developed with scaling.

So the cpu will struggle at max settings but take the settings down, and it will be ok.

I'd be surprised if 4 cores struggled to play, unless the game has AI it would only use the CPU that much on high poly models

I for one cannot wait for Battlefield 3, although I'm another one who also hasn't pre-ordered it yet! Will have to wait and see if it appears on Steam and with what content etc.

I'm hoping they announce more details about the beta/demo soon, I'm not going out to buy MoH just to pick up a beta key, hopefully they'll grant access by other means.

I wonder how these maps from bf2 will play now without the comander.

 

[Kurisu Makise]

was gonna pre order on steam but decided to get a physical copy, sometimes steam doesn't want to work for me and when its a game like this id rather not have the problems.

This game is going to be expensive for lots of people. I and some others I know will be looking to upgrade their pc's just for this title

 

[WingZero30]

Everytime I watch 'Fault line' trailer, this game keeps impressing me.

I just hope that character movement is going to be fluid like in CS Source especially when turning left and right while on foot. TBH I wasn't impressed with character movements in BF2142 and BFBC2. It felt sluggish and dry.


However the fighter jet part is cool.

This game is going to be grand

I pre-ordered from EA Store, purely 'cos there was a £10 off deal about a month ago on various titles, so got it for £19.99 for the LE.

I honestly think this year MW3 will be shown to be the shallow game it really is when compared to BF3.

Can't wait

 

[ScarySquirrel]

lol at that link with the eatures some guy say's.....

Bit dissapointed on what maps they picked to bring back
I dunno if they are any good I've never played any I only play team death match

some people really do baffal me

Haha, what an idiot!!! I hope people slated him!

 

[Spook187]

aye i know,sounds like a cod fanboy who wants to play battlefield but cant bring himself to do so lol

 

[Tefal]

e3 will tell june 6th not long now

Spore did great at e3 iirc. (best game award i think)

so it's hardly a reliable measure.

 

[Tefal]

Great, so now they're releasing higher powered weapons and maps to pre-orders :/

it'll probably be like the bc2 launch bonus where you just get some of the unlockables straight away.

Well they say exclusive, and the shotgun is marked as Day 1.

 

[rippling]

where do we get this pack at ?game? is amazon doing it as well , i would rather stick to steam though ,surprized it isnt on steam yet tbh

 

[Jimz]

Whats the Multiplayer player count for the PC version??

I'm expecting 64 players, 32 will be a complete minimum.

If it is anything less its the consoles to blame

 

[Tefal]

that's very worrying then


exclusive paid for items that aren't cosmetic reskins break mp games.

 

[Revolution6000]

It's GAME/Gamestation exclusive, I'd imagine it'll be on the EA Store also. GAME are already charging £5 more than other retailers.

 

[rippling]

ah screw that money makers lol tbh i am crap at bfbc2 etc , but arma2 is different i just not good with to fast action , although i loved playing bf2 with pr mod
