...PC players will be locked on this game for years...

hope so!

 

[Conan7]

Already pre-ordered this, seriously can't wait, and yes I agree it will definitely push out the hype of COD: BO!

New SP video out,



Do want. :drool:

 

[mickey megabyte]

meh, seen it all before:





i hope my rig will be able to handle it, could be upgrade time soon - i better start saving up them pennies!

allegedly, the specs are:

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows Vista or Windows 7
Processor: Core 2 Duo @ 2.0GHz
RAM: 2GB
Graphic card: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible Nvidia or AMD ATI card.
Graphics card memory: 512 MB
Hard drive: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
RAM: 4GB
Graphics card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850
Graphics card memory: 1 GB
Hard drive: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version

seems that frostbite 2 is more streamlined than the bfbc2 engine.

don't understand why they're saying the disc version takes up 5 gigs more space then digital. :huh:

...Of course there are things we will not be showing at E3, including the game’s extensive co-op campaign, the introduction of Team Death Match mode and the Battlefield 3 Battlelog web destination – featuring powerful social tools, feeds and detailed player stats. Battlelog also lets you manage your friends lists, squad up, create platoons, use voice chat and follow your friends’ progress in real-time, and more. Battlelog will be available for the monthly fee of (drum roll)... zero dollars. We look forward to providing more information on these features in the near future!

Big heads up on this one,

Warning: fake BF3 beta sites popping up - Battlefield 3

We previously reported on a site which was trying to sell fake Battlefield 3 beta keys, whose owner had run other BF3 beta key sites. EA tried to take the site down with a DMCA claim that it was using BF3 artwork without authorization, but that didn’t hold up, mainly because the artwork is freely available (and is used by BF3blog, among other sites). Our friends over at Battlefieldo.com did some digging and found several new sites that have been popping up around the web, all offering Battlefield 3 “beta keys”, including:

• battlefield3cracked.com
• battlefield3betafree.info
• bf3-beta.com
• bf3beta.com
• bf3beta.co.cc
• battlefield3betakeygenerator.blogspot.com
• EA-Battlefield3.com
• dice.bf3beta.net.tc
• battlefield3-beta.net

All the sites feature one scam or another, trying to trick you into giving up your email address, or worse. A select few are selling direct access to BF3 beta keys, while others are offering users to download a BF3 beta key generator. And we imagine, a ton of spyware bundled with it.

Hope no one here falls (or worse, already fallen) for this.

thanks for the warning.

I want to play the game but I will wait for the FREE SP DEMO to make my decision on whether I will purchase the game or not.

I would not hold my breath if I were you. Demo's were a 90's thing...

The open beta will be for the MP.

No SP demo/beta will be released.

It sure seems that way now a days huh, oh well. They can keep their game and I will keep my money then... Win Win

The open beta will be for the MP.

No SP demo/beta will be released.

There you have it, another game that I will have to wait to purchase either from the bargain bin or from someone who bought it cos they told him it was awesome and now he does not want it... I usually pay almost half when I buy them pre-own.

 

[BugMeister]

sounds as though they've pulled out all the stops for this one..

 

[stormy13]

For anyone interested and didn't get an invite to the Alpha go here,

BATTLEFIELD 3 ALPHA TRIAL

Didn't work for me yesterday, kept getting "WE'RE SORRY - YOU DON'T MEET THE CRITERIA TO ENTER THIS SITE.". Tried again today and got in. And yes you will have to install EA's new Origin to download/install/play if accepted.

 

[mickey megabyte]
