I'm excited to know what this game will actually sound like. All the trailers seem to just sound distorted and scratchy. Perhaps it's my speakers... or my ears.

In the alpha, the sound was frikin' awesome.

I agree, the alpha had great sound. There was still room for improvement but going back to BFBC2 and MOH was surprising. Before the alpha I thought they were great sounding games but BF3 has raised the bar considerably.

Don't know if its been posted before but here's a breakdown of all the game modes in multiplayer:

I not so sure but it seems like rush game mode is only 32 player on PC :/

Why :/, it's clearly been designed with that in mind for balance reasons, there's no other reason they wouldn't make it 64 player.

Haha, make Rush 64 player and make it 3 MCOMs per map sector

How'd do you think BF3 would fair for a 5750 1GB with an i5 2500K and 4GB ram?

not too great. Your CPU is great, your vid is not, and I'd hope your RAM is DDR3 and you could really really do with 2 more gigs of it

In a preview of the BF3 alpha, I saw this;

I was playing on a mid level pc with a Radeon 5750 and a phenom x4 processor with 4g of ram and was able to run on the highest settings without noticeable frame rate drop, so it's safe to say that pc's capable of running Bad Company 2 shouldn't have an issue running Battlefield 3.

Yes but the alpha was
a) toned down visuals
b) not 64 player
c) Just missing shed loads of action that is going to suck up your resources on 64 player conquest.

I'm not trying to be a dick or anything. My comp won't do the greatest either.

I hope it's Sli compatible because the alpha wasn't!

It must be, surely?! All hell will break loose if it isn't

GizmoTheMogwai · 15 Sep 2011 at 23:57

Heck, if I can't play 64 players with my rig, what's the point in getting the PC version?

It is 64 player, just not in rush mode.

You'll almost certainly be able to play it, not sure what settings at though.
No point speculating though, we should just wait for the BETA!

GizmoTheMogwai · 16 Sep 2011 at 00:01

It's just that I was planning on upgrading my CPU to i5 2500K , but i'll be left with a 5750, which I just know will bottleneck my performance...

IIDeathCubeKII · 16 Sep 2011 at 00:23

I found this meme on NeoGAF

Not sure what it means, but it made me think of this thread.

Probably find a 20% one next...

Anyone else get the feeling this game is getting hyped up far too much,

Makes me think back before GTA IV was released and everyone went mad for it, I always find myself let down

I hope this isnt the case though since iv just spent over £400 upgrading my computer pretty much for this release and still need to buy a new graphics card yet.

Also just checked and iv had this game pre-ordered since the 3rd of march!
