Ordered a GTX 560 and a new power supply to run it, should hopefully be here in a few days. Might join you guys if I can scramble together the cash. (assuming I don't make my computer explode putting it in)

i hope they improve the performance of this new game because it doesnt run all that well on my system and i could run battlefield 2 twice as good as this one at about the same settings.

You do realize how old battlefield 2 is right?

LOL! Yeah Battlefield 2 is over 6 years old now, haha. I think the game performs decently well, although they could have done a better job at optimizing it. unfortunately, it's uncommon for developers to spend the extra time optimizing PC games, apart from Valve and Blizzard, although Dice is pretty good at it compared to other developers *cough* ID *cough*.

actually meant battlefield bad company 2 sorry :P the one released in 2010

Ah... Also worth noting, this is using a completely different engine (Frostbite 2 I believe), which I think is for the better.

BC2 and BF3 use the same engine, unless you were referring to BF2.

um bad company 2 uses frost bite ver 1.5 and battlefield 3 uses ver 2 not exactly the same. atleast according to wiki

Well actually they are the same engine, but Frostbite gets upgraded over time. It's like saying Crysis 1 and 2 use different engines, or Left for Dead 1 and 2 use different engines. Just because upgrades are made to source or Cryengine, doesn't mean they aren't using the same underlying structure.

really thinking im gona have to upgrade my gpu inorder to play this game right :'( well my radeon has been a good card for a long time but finally met its match.

Anyone else find it extremely hard to get kills in the jets? It's hard enough to learn how to fly it, then you have a machine gun that can't hit worth a $#!* while you're chasing down another jet, or trying to get low enough to kill land vehicles without blowing yourself up...

I've been hearing that complaint a lot. I didn't notice it myself, since I assumed it was because I suck at flying, but people on the forums would definitely agree. I did notice though, that unlike bad company 2, Battlefield 2, 1942, and 2142, ground troops really don't have to worry too much about air support. In any previous battlefield, if I heard something with wings coming in, I knew I had very little time to get the hell behind some cover. In BF3, I pretty much ignore flying aircraft like heli's and planes, unless I feel like shooting them down.

They should at least start you out with a weak missile to make it more fun, and to make it a bit easier to earn the unlocks.

Yeah I agree. They should also make the missile's you do get a little stronger, and maybe give jets some more life. I want to actually fear jets, rather than scoff at their presence.

On a few of the maps i played yesterday, you couldn't get in another jet, because the second you did, the same guy would fly back and gun the hell out of it, I'm sure he could gun troops too. But it seems there a very few who are good with the jets.
