Depends if you need to buy all of the peripheral crap like the case, a monitor, keyboard, chair, desk, mouse etc. A good processor, motherboard, memory and GPU combo usually comes to around $1,500 and that'll keep you above the curve for a year, maybe two, before you need to start upgrading individual components, or dialing the graphics settings down a notch.

3 years, it's good for 3 years, remember games that come out now are retaining graphics of last year.

If we're talking cutting edge, though, you can get a GPU that is priced at $1500 by itself.
You can also get a top-end processor for $1000.
Already we're at $2500!
I don't think any of that is necessary to max out current generation games though, unless we're talking multi-display.

I have a 2yearish old computer and the beta ran kind of fine for me at medium settings, with that said im upgrading my GFX to be able to support semi high settings.

Really great game, funniest FPS game in quite some time.


If your 2 year old computer was a top of the line high end 2,5k gaming beast then yeah it would still do well now. Just because it's 2 years old doesn't mean it's crap :/.


people spend 2.5k on a computer? what is that like alienware or smthn


yeah lol. You can buy a computer just as good as an alienware for a lot cheaper
When I think of something else, something will go here

I guess this is clear now. One side actually spawns on top of that cliff and then either goes down there via aircraft... or parachute, lol. At least that is what I get from the multiplayer gameplay video. Can anybody confirm or am I retarded?



Its in the movie so ya you are right. I think it looks like a fkin cool gimmick

At least the base jumping looks better than spawning out of thin air in the sky to simulate paratrooping like what they did in BF2 and BF1942.

I agree the base jumping thing is very very cool, someone mentioned that was a rush map though? I get the point right like you spawn in and you have a straight objective forward but that would be a lot better as a conquest map, might seem a bit odd but spawning there like over and over as a normal spawn to go after a flag would be very fun. If it is a rush map then it makes metro look like a pile of shit, base jumping...fuck yeah. Dean Potter anyone? ^^

Apparently, all 5 game modes (Conquest, Conquest 64, Rush, DM, TDM) are available on all 9 maps that are available on release day, so at least there is a choice and variety.

Also, I think I watched a developer video where they explained that on certain maps, they kinda wanted to visually "tell a story" by changing up the game environment as a team progresses through the map, kinda like how Metro transitioned from a park into a subway into a city. From what I've seen in the latest trailer, the base jumping map may have a similar mentality in mind.

The TDM version of that map is all down the bottom, so theyd just change the sections of the maps available per game mode.

$2.5k is pretty much cutting edge. More than you need for any kind of gaming unless you play on 3 to 6 monitors on maxed settings. For the more realistic (less hardcore) PC gamers, you can pick up the parts to build a PC that will run BF3 on high for about $700-$900


2,5k IS cutting edge, it's however definitely not too much for gaming, to run games as witcher 2 or battlefield 3 on maxed settings with a good 80+ fps you definitely need to spend 2k.


80 FPS is diminishing returns because your return literally is 0 past 60 (past 30 its not 0 but it basically is near 0)

That's the whole point... it's a useless spot for a sniper, but useless snipers are very attracted to useless spots. The hills on Port Valdez and Arica Harbour are also a useless spots for a sniper, and they're populated by at least two people going for +500 marksman in just about every game I've seen.

Then again, the Battlefield series is infamous for having useless people in every pub game, so having useless snipers standing around is nothing new for a franchise that has been plagued in almost every game by people camping for jets or vehicles. Plus, those kinds of people are fun to grief :D

When I saw that base jumping thing I immediately thought that the other team would just kill themselves as soon as the first stage of the map is over, respawn as recon, then just snipe the helpless basejumping people.

Care to tell some specs? I have around 2 year old PC too. It barley got above ~30fps on Metro with all low.

ps. Apparently Karkand expansion (w/e) comes month after the release. Damn..

While i dont always do this, i do get alot of satisfaction getting those 5-700 meter headshots.

Something that bugged me while i did those kind of things was that spotting just stopped working after a certain range for whatever reason

*Edit* i also realize im mostly useless while doing this and dont really contribute to the team winning or not
