Battlefield BC2

Thanks WDAexodus, I am playing the crysis demo at 35 fps on medium settings. I have the Nvidia GTX260M in a Asus Laptop so I know the GPU is good, but still am wary of purchasing newer PC games. the Crysis demo though is small and only single player so I don't know how my comp is going to handle loading a full map or multiplayer. I am usually really busy so I don't know when I will pick it up. When I do though I will look you up (I have had only like 8 hours total game time since I bought this comp in January)


Edit: Crysis Demo: 35 fps at 1680x1050 on my 22" so thats affecting the fps...

ive been playing BFBC2 since the release and i just love this game, its definatley the best one ive played out of all the battlefield games that have been released on pc, it plays flawlessly, no lagg at all apart from a few server issues but even that has stopped now since the punkbuster kicks have been addressed, this game rocks, i have a link to a video i made the other day of me playing on Panama Canal (my Fav map)YouTube - Battlefield bad company 2 multiplayer for pc

Checkout my system specs, i have all the settings in the game on high, aax4, afx16 & HBAO set to on, the physics in this game are awsome

I am running low settings with my resolution at 1280 x 1024 to try to get as much frames as possible.

WDAexodus,
I want to thank you for that 1 single line as I was surfing around yesterday, I came across your post and decided to change my bc2 video settings to 1280 x 1024, based off your remark and OMG, my FPS went up at least 30 points!
BC2 played SOOO smooth for me after I made that change, I was able to flick the sniper rifle around and hardly ever missed a shot!!! where as before, the game played kinda mushy, not as responsive.
I was in HEAVEN last night and BC2 is by far the best FPS game I've played....next to cs:s, which will always be my 1st love.

If u truly love fps games and love being immersed in the battle! BC2 is for you!

I bought it and started playing but its kinda weird to me. I have only played CS/CS:S/UT2k3/UT2k4 and CODMW2 as for FPS and its got its own way and methods so will take me a bit to get used to it. I do like it, but just not as much as I think I would if I had a better feel for it.

I would really like to play with some folks who know they are doing maybe help me to get a better feel for the game etc.. You can get me in game at -=BwA=- Element . I am aware they have a special way to do clan tags but my name Element was taken so I just put my old clan tag infront of it.

Is this game better than MW2? I mean because both looks like similar to me but I don´t know if I should buy it

Patch aside, there is a very big difference in the game going from a dual core to a quad. Just went from a x2 7750 to a x4 630 over the weekend, and what a difference. Average frame rate is up at least 10-15; the lows (heavy smoke, etc) that used to di[ into the low 20's, doesn't go any lower than the mid to high 30's. Even the audio is better now that it has a core to itself.
