Looks amazing and it's not close to being done!

holy ****.

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"] The problem lies with bandwidth. They can't do 64 players with hella destruction and vehicles within the limitations set on them by MS and Sony. SaltyMeatballs

DICE has said this themselves multiple times. :|

Yep, I'm upgrading now to get those graphics, my new cpu should come in tomorrow, now I need more than 4 GB RAM.

PC version FTW :shock;lawlessx

Tell me about. So happy I've got a GTX 480. 64 player matches are going to be glorious, and the singleplayer might not be half bad considering it's not related to Bad Company in any way (a great start).

you really don't need more than 4gb's of ram for gaming.

what do you have in your rig now and what new cpu/gpu are you getting? :)

The shot with the white balls looks unreal...AAllxxjjnn

Look at that AT4 dude... the geometry, textures, lighting, smoke, hell everything. Plus the quality of the pics isn't so hot, so you can't even see the finer details. I have to grab this issue in stores.

"-Better audio cues for certain actions, more easily able to listen for threats" This wasn't even bad in BC2, I thought it was very easy to listen for threats. I almost always heard them yell sniper, tank, etc. Anyway, can't wait!DragonfireXZ95

I wasn't a huge fan of the voice actors though. They need to strike a balance between the radio voices of CoD and the actors they used in BC2.

Real shame about the lack of mod tools, everything else however sounds awesome. Can't wait. :)

[QUOTE="mitu123"] AMD Phenom 9600 2.3ghz but tomorrow I'm getting a AMD Athlon II X4 645 3.1ghz, I got my 1GB GTX 460 a few weeks ago and I overclocked it from 675/1300/1800 to 850/1700/2150, and 3.25 GB RAM(suppose to be 4 but I have 32 bit, need 64).

yeah, these days it's mostly about the gpu, and you just need a pretty good - decent cpu and your good to go lol

I myself am getting a 6850 and a phenom II x4 @ 2.8ghz. for my first gaming pc in 1 week :D

Well this got me excited, when are they gonna show some gameplay?TheGuardian03

Isn't a GTX 460 slighty better than a 6850?:P It's great though. You probably have a better cpu though.:D

mitu123

Stock no. The 6850 has the slight upper hand. Overclocked though the 460 is a beast and easily beats the 6850.

[QUOTE="theuncharted34"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] What's funny is that I got the best cpu of it's kind, though it isn't as good as the best Phenom II, but should do me well, I can literally max out 90% games now with my GTX 460 and weak 2007 cpu, imagine this one that came out 6 months ago.=p

actually, the gtx 460 and 6850 are neck in neck in performance, the difference in games depends on what the developer optimised more for, the nvidia architecture or the amd :P

yeah my phenom is better but not the best phenom x4 out there :)

Friendly Fire off by default? Thank you DICE, seriously FF has no place in Battlefield. You could say it is for realism but it just causes problems with jerks killing you for vehicles.

This is honestly my most hyped game of the year, probably more so than Uncharted 3.

I can't wait for the beta, though you need MOH.D=

:) keep the good news coming!

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="enterawesome"]"PC is the lead version" I've expressed this before, but once again this annoys me. Why do people like myself pay extra for games like this and still get less features? "Why 64 players for PC? No complains from console gamers" That REALLY bothers me. Console gamers aren't stupid by default, nobody who might be planning on purchasing the game for a console would be pleased at hearing they get less features. In my opinion, Dice should just quit wasting their time porting an overpriced, stripped-down version and add more features to PC with the extra manpower. SaltyMeatballs

Remember, they have to sync bullet ballistics between all 24 clients, destruction, vehicles, player movement and animations, and much more than games like Resistance 2 and MAG on the PS3. This is why BC2 plays much smoother than either of those titles did.

I like what I read and will be buying.

Hopefully I can get my PC built by then, if not I'll get the console version to hold me over for a little.

They finally put an IK system in? About time. And about the mod tools they need to explain this more, " Frosbite 2.0 is complex and mods tools would have to be dumbed down", i hope they are not seriously implying that their engine is too complex for modding communities, but instead that it is a software limitation as the cause.ferret-gamer

Their engine is probably far to complex to try to distribute some sort of mod tool. The dynamic destruction of the maps is far more complicated than any other FPS engine out there.

I wish I had a PC that could play this game :(soulitane

lol you should start saving for a gaming pc :P

you could fly to the u.s. to buy parts, but then that'd waste money by flying... quite the conundrum indeed :P

I think if you have a ps3 and a wii you'll have more than enough great games to play though :)

I read that the guy who leaked that info said commander from BF2 will be back.

If S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 doesn't come out this year then I think we have shooter of the year folks, and just for fun, lets guess system requirements.
