anyone who's still using Vista over 7 is a glutton for punishment.

or are to cheap to upgrade, which is the category I fall into.

[Bolkonsky]

Nah, that's still Masochism.

[Nyxos]

damn i guess I wont be able to play it on my computer Can someone give me 2000€ ?

[Numenor]

i may have to change the graphics card and add 2 gigs of ram for this game.. not that my card is bad, but i want it to run it on max.

[Stavroforos]

Dx 10 will be supported, but it will be optimized for 11.

[DimondLight]

Looks like I need to get Windows 7 at some point...

[Katsumoto]

As long as it returns to it's roots of at least 64 players all will be fantastic, to be honest im surprised games arn't consistantly supporting several hundered at a time yet. The tech is there they just need to embrace it.

I remember initial reports on BF2 saying they would support 50 v 50 game-modes. I think it's just down to the servers themselves - I guess they just can't handle it at the moment.

[Imperial]

Joint Ops could handle 150 players............well, sometimes.

[Bolkonsky]

Warband can handle +200

It's all about the server and the networking. The problem with lots of players is the ping skyrocketing. It's already bad enough with 25 players.

Windows 7 is cheap if you need to pay for it. Likely if you are a student or you work in IT you should be able to get it for free. Where I used to work we had a MSDN subscription and we got 7 for free.

$99

Cheapest Windows in years.

7 uses less ram as well, you may be able to play this with 2 gigs if thats what you have if you upgrade. Or put in a flash card and use the flash memory->ram feature. It works very well.

When I was in college you could of got vista for like $40. Check that out if you are in school.

[Bolkonsky]

Or high school. Also, you can always get Windows Server 2008 for free from DreamSpark if you're a student, and a few quick customization options, and voila! It's just like Windows 7!

Hopefully since this is branded as a pure Battlefield title, it will feature many vehicles, large maps, and 64 player battles.
.

still waiting for a decent MMOFPS that had fights on a scale of Planetside's battles. considering that game came out lightyears ago in tech terms, one such as me orgasms at the thoughts of what could be done today.

64 is too limited for my epic scope.

If you don't like Win7 you can always stick to XP and play BC2 until a better Windows comes out

I hope they make Infantry a bit more valuable in the next BF. I always felt so useless in BF2 and travel times sucked donkeyballs when your teammates forgot to give lifts.

Could be because I rather sucked though.

[Wulfburk]

looking forward to it even tho it wont work in my pc, and.. the cover looks ALOT like BC2's..

[Kanaric]

I'm hoping that BFBC2 is viewed as a "separate game series" and none of its new features are introduced to BF3.

I would like to see some BF2142 features in BF3, such as a game mode maybe similar to Titan mode which I thought was fun and nerfing jets.

Everything else I pretty much want BF3. Engineers with machine guns, medics with nerfed assault rifles (no grenade launcher), assault WITHOUT ammo giving ability, no hot key knife, give back prone, increase weapon damage overall, add in nerfs to short range quickscoping with rifles, keep noob tube nerfs from either 2142 or BFBC2. Get rid of higher levels = better ways to kill (magnum ammunition, vastly superior guns, etc). Add back faction specific weapons, I dont want to be fighting Russians armed with M16s and Americans armed with AN94s.

Really so long as it is an exact clone of BF2 with some balancing of vehicles I will be happy.

I never had problems except on the largest of maps with this. I think they just need to, on such maps, decrease the spawn time of transport vehicles.

the day has come

[Stavroforos]

I just hope they're not going to make this a small map type game, like CoD or BC2. I don't mind these games, just think BF should be keeping to BF.
