Returning to PC purely for this - now realising GPU’s are bloody expensive hah!

Not sure my 980ti will run this!

Frostbite engine runs well on amd cards, bring a good cpu and a midrange card works well.
a 4 core intel cpu wont cut it though.
you want a 6 core and up ryzen etc...for the best experience

Tbh, as long as they can get the gameplay to be like the older BF games (especially BF3 and Bad Company 2) then thats fine with me in regard of its current appearance :)


pretty much BC2 gameplay with bf5 movement and I would be very happy ( but dont forget BC2 had no prone and thats a major change )

Minimum PC Requirements:
  • Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 5 3600
  • Processor (Intel): Core i5 6600K
Recommended PC Requirements:
  • Processor (AMD): AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
  • Processor (Intel): Intel Core i7 4790
What are they smoking? In both cases the minimum cpu requirement is a FASTER one for gaming. Yes, fewer threads, but I bet it will be faster thanks to IPC and frequency.
Plus, AMD options in both cases will run rings around Intel options
6/12 threads vs 4 threads (and gimped frequency)
8/16 threads vs 4/8 Haswell

my i5-6600 was fine on bf5 until updates nakered the performance it was running on 98-100% cpu-load

so cant imagine it running a newer version with 124 players

If its just skins I'm not going to bother I don't think
I find it confusing with everywhere saying that no playable content is locked behind a paywall and everything is skin related but then you read that 4 specialists are on the Gold bundle?

Are they just skins as well? Contradiction if not, but I've no idea
