Windows 7: Battlefield BC2

The single player campaign is fun and in one of the cut scenes they make fun of Modern Warfare 2.
You are in a jungle, then in the snow, then the desert, then to a rural area, and that is where I am.
I am probably 4 hours into the SP, just taking my time.

I'm going to go see if I can get a demo but, as far as I know, the demo is only for MP play? is that true? and if so... that's not going to give me an answer as I am more of a Campaign SP-Type gamer.

The single player is very good when compared to MW2; it's longer, more polished and it's clear they put some effort into the game. You'll be blown away by the sound. However, first and foremost, Battlefield (the series) is a multi-player game, so it doesn't stack up well against true single player games... because it's not.

I got it running and I must say that it really is a mindblowing game. The sound is stunning and the graphics are well done. I'm really digging the SP campaign. If they can just get the connection issues worked out it would be a 10. At least they acknowledge the issue and are working to get a patch out quickly. We have our server up. Come play with us sometime.

SP craps over MW2 SP in a lot of areas.

Also, some of the conversations your squad mate have are hilarious.

The recommended video card is a GTX 260/Radeon 4870 or above? Yikes, bit much.

I'm running a GTS 250 and it's all I can do to get 40 FPS at 1600x1200 running DX 10. I went into the config.ini and changed directx from auto to 9 and that gave me an extra 30 frames. Nvidia just released a new set of drivers for BC2 sli support.

That is a bit steep at least the minimum aren't to high (NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT/ATI X1900), I think my card 4670 will be able to run it okish, but I'm getting a 5750 next month, so I'll probably wait till then to buy it.

It isn't your card that is holding the game back, it is your dual core CPU. The game is optimized for quads, and to make it worse for dual cores the audio is all done on the CPU so a good chunk of one is taken up with that.

For what it's worth I get the same sort of performance. If nothing else this is the excuse I have been looking for for moving to a quad (grabbing a x4 925 in the next week or so).

buying this ......

hopefully they've fixed the ''toggle'' for the crouch movement, that was a real pest on the BETA. (can anyone confirm this

)

Works for me, have it set to one of the thumb buttons on my G5. FWIW had it in teh same place in the beta, and it worked no problem.

Edit: Sorry, not toggle, I hold for crouch.
