For more seasoned FPS gamers who happened to play the beta a few weeks ago- What do you think of the skill-level required to perform well in BF3? Is it too volatile and you can be gunned down from nearly every angle? Is it possible to completely dominate a game without having to resort to some really awful tactics? Or do you guys think there is a systematic (based on your own genius algorithmic tactical decisions) to play the game and get ahead of everyone else. I asked this because although I can play games light heartedly, it's always a lot of fun for a competitive SC2 player to try to find a way to compete for the #1 spot on the pub server. The skill ceiling (or should i say, skill gap between the top and the average gamer) is far lower compared to BF2, both infantry and vehicle wise. The weapon damage seemed very high (even factoring in the silly double damage bug that happened when you were sprinting). The result is a very campy style of play as its almost impossible to react to an unseen enemy. This means that prone guys in the corner that you dont see as you run into a new room are actually a serious threat as you cant just out-aim/skill them due to the high damage weapons. So yeah, infantry is extremely volatile in the close quarter maps. The vehicle disable gimmick really lowers the power of vehicles, withouy an engy slut with you in a tank expect to be frequently disabled from an engineer hiding in the indistinguishable clusterfuck of trees, shadows and blown up buildings. With an engy slut, you will still get disable but you can stay alive easily. And i almost completely forgot, the vehicle unlock system with jets/helicopters is silly and reduces the skill to a rock paper scissors of who has what unlock. And auto lock anti vehicle missles instead of the manual bombs you had in bf2 (practicing so you could direct hit and therefore 1 shot a tank in a J10 was hard!) further reduces the skill. Back to infantry, the reduction of aim/skill in the use of weapons means to beat your opponent/thrive in pubs you have to rely more on reading the play/flow of the map and when to play aggressive and when to sit behind that chest high wall hugging your medpack. If you are a competitive high league player in sc2 you should have that problem solving attitude that allows you to learn those aforementioned skills. So basically you can still out skill opponents in BF3 infantry (when it was op metro only i think i got the MVP medal within 80 or so rounds lol), its just 85% game sense, 15% aim.

Thats it. And if it says something like "max usage limit...." then its just because everyone is using it. But you don't even need any software for this.. | ||

I got a Geforce G210 and ram is 1,7gb i think. Rest of my computer seems ok, but I'm not sure the video card can make it. Thanks in advance. | ||
