From?

If you dont know where from then you are probably not eligible for it.

Since when has CSS had sprinting?

You can't even shoot when sprinting in bc2/bf3.

It's actually the other way round. You already know that pressing W makes the characters run/sprint which is the default setting. Pressing shift makes them slow down and walk.

While the characters are running/sprinting, they are also shooting which is the whole point of the game.

While pressing W, we can also use A & D to move about sideways or even turn around quickly

Ive noticed when playing you can only revive someone once, then they have to respawn.

I think you're missing the point. Running and sprinting are two completely different things. CSS only has running (and walking if you want to go down that route).

There is no sprinting in CSS. There is sprinting in BC2 and BF3 - but in BF3 you can sprint and strafe, in BC2 you can't strafe while sprinting. In both games you can't shoot while sprinting.

I did not like the restriction of movement in BFBC2 and took a while to get used to it. Freeing up that movement, can only be a good thing in my eyes. Looking forward to it.

Thats minimum!

Now im concerned, not sure if the laptop ill be ordering this week will cope?

I7 990X, 8GB Ram, 2x580Ms SLI, 256 SSD - thats the main bits, I mean I know they beat the minimum (not sure on CPU) but if that is the minimum, what the hell is the recomended?

toString · 24 Jul 2011 at 11:52

I've got a duel core and notice quite a bit of stutter. I think I'll be upgrading my cpu at the very least for this game.

setter · 24 Jul 2011 at 12:05

Im getting 40fps max, only running on a single gtx 470.

RavenXXX2 · 24 Jul 2011 at 12:08

Vtec9k · 24 Jul 2011 at 12:08

The system in my rig runs it between 40-80fps on max at 1920x1200

RavenXXX2 · 24 Jul 2011 at 12:10

not in alpha no

RavenXXX2 · 24 Jul 2011 at 12:13

Choosing high setting enable some kind of AA?

One thing I really hope they don't carry over from Bad Company is the cheesy sodding taunts.

"Let the bodies hit the floor!"
"Whack dat foo!"
"I dropped dat mother****er"

I dont mind automated taunts to add to the atmosphere, but they sound so stupid sometimes
