Nice. :D

Was hoping it would be this week, but at least I have Gears 3 to tide me over.

So much for early September.

I hope they include the comm rose in this. People need to play with it before the game comes out.

Did you get that off of the site? I couldn't access it. It said I had to log in. I wanted to know if they were going to also have a 64 player beta test for the PC.

This game seems like it could easily push a GTX 580 to its limits. Unfortunately, the new generation of GPUs won't be out until next year sometime. What is the point in upgrading if the hardware I upgrad to is outdated as soon as I get it?

Pshh... even I could've told you this was coming. When developers give a month for any beta, you're better off automatically assuming it's the end of the month. I need to hurry up and get a quad core. lol

I hope my Thinkpad T420 can run it on low settings... I probably won't have enough time to play it, but whatever. I'll toss in my hour or two and check it out.

So they are saying that not even a 6970 can run this on high? That seems rather odd. Especially since I could run the alpha on high with a 5770 (yes I know there's a vast different between the build, but come on..) Anyway, this might make me buy a GTX580 if I can afford it, by November.

I ran alpha on high with an HD 4850, I'm sure my HD 6970 will handle it. Especially since I don't have a big monitor.

I'm honestly considering the 6970 too. For the money saved I can more or less afford an SSD. I suppose I'll have to wait for peoples reaction - I can't afford a new GPU before November anway :o)

The beta will help me decide between this and MW3. I'm gonna to continue to play the heck out of Reach when Halo CE drops a week after MW3, so getting BF3 which will be more team focused may be up my alley.

I wonder if 2 1GB GTX 460s would work as well.
