I have a Q6600 @ 2.8
Same RAM
NV GTX 460

I run most things on low @ 1920x1200, still looks good, but if you up the settings too much the FPS starts going as low as 20 in some places. So a 460 is the minimum required I would say.

i was kind'a hoping to wait it out until Christmas when the newer ATi cards come out and drop the 2nd hand prices of the 560ti's etc...

Big lol at people who think more bullet damage makes for an easier game

I must be doing something wrong. I put all the settings to Ultra, and with my GTX 460 and Q8200 (stock @ 2.3Ghz) I'm managing to get a completely playable 37FPS average?

More bullet damage is for the spray and pray brigade.

Ultra isn't actually Ultra, it doesn't work for beta.

This has probably been asked a million times already but is there a current password for the caspian border servers?

Game doesn't feel like a BF game, feels like MoH mixed with CoD.

The only decent part of the game is the vehicles, playing on foot is crap. The game is constantly laggy in every server, boring campish gameplay because of the heightened bullet damage and spotting is still as retarded as it was in the Alpha.

Waiting 5 years for this, what a failure. And yes I've been playing on Caspian, it's still ***** .

I haven't been getting any lag on the EU Caspian Border servers. And admittedly Metro isn't the finest example of Battlefield but how can you moan about Caspian? It's amazing and very much like battlefield we all know and love.

Caff people would rather believe they are playing on Ultra than except its not part of the Beta. Or they just don't read the thread only post to it. In both RPS beta post and Totalbiscuits wtf they stated ultras not there yet.

MikGriff · 29 Sep 2011 at 15:14

Not really, it gives people with quick and accurate reactions the edge... they'll have killed 3 people while the spray and prayer is still trying to get on target.

Well I don't think I'll be playing the beta.

The fact you can'r remap certain keys and the mouse buttons makes it unplayable for me. Tried AutoHotKey and x-Mouse but it still wouldn't allow me to rebind the keys I wanted.

Unless I find a way around it the purchase from Origin was a waste of time (but at least I got 20% off)

rogueblade · 29 Sep 2011 at 15:20

I remapped some of my keys, whats the problem?
