Frostbite 2.0. Because of this we can estimate what requirements will be expected when Battlefield 3 hits shelves. Minimum System Requirements Processor: Dual Core Memory: 2 GB Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version Video Memory: 256 MB Sound Card: DirectX Compatible DirectX: 10 Keyboard and Mouse DVD Rom Drive Recommended System Requirements Processor: Quadcore Processor Memory: 4 GB Hard Drive: 15 GB for Digital Version, 10 GB for Disc Version Video Memory: 512 MB Sound Card: DirectX Compatible DirectX: 11 Keyboard and Mouse DVD Rom Drive EDIT: I have no idea of the legitimacy of these having read the above post, so, make your own conclusions. | ||

My good old, overpriced, wish-i-never-bought-it-and-built-my-own-computer Alienware has been a trusty companion, but even on BC2 it doesn't like anything over medium  | ||

In BF, you die quickly because there are 32 players killing each other with tanks and helicopters, so you actually get killed by the explosions. If you play BF in a straight up fight with no vehicles and no medics, you will notice that it takes much more shots to kill someone. Also, the health regen system is not as forgiving as CoD's, so you can't just keep running and shooting like a madman. I think that if you take some time to learn how to play BF, you'll love it and you'll never play CoD anymore. You still play CoD because the game feels much more awarding. + Show Spoiler + Also, quick scope is retarded. Well, someone said 3 to 5 shots, and that's about how much it takes in CoD also, usually only 3 in close range, and maybe up to 7 from long range (more like 5 though). However, I like the idea of medics and this game obviously has more long range engagements than CoD which usually forces you into tight corridors. So, I'm excited, I want to play it, and I'm just giving up on CoD for now since there is no sign that things will get better.

I prefer the 3-5 shot requirement with head shots decreeing that amount by 1-2 shots. That gives you just enough time to have a gun fight in which the player with the better aim has a good chance of winning and not just the guy who was covering a ridge or corner. That's how it works in Black Ops. 3-5 to kill, and 1-2 for head shots. | ||

How is it trolling to say that I don't consider COD to be a tactical shooter. Maybe we have a different idea about what makes a tactical shooter but to me games like ARMA, Rainbow Six(before Vegas), red orchestra, and America's Army are Tactical Shooters. Battlefield and COD don't play like those games at all. Sure you can use tactics but that doesn't make it a tactical shooter. Having open maps, realistic weapons with sway and recoil, realistic movement, ect make a tactical shooter. Anyways here is what Wikipedia says http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tactical_shooter | ||

Always checking where your teammates were reporting from, and keeping the sound ear blastingly loud to try to hear footsteps. CoD certainly is more of an arcade game compared to AA and games even more "real" than that. | ||

Good article with mostly old information but some interesting perspective nonetheless. I really like this suppressing fire feature: That's really an LMG's role on the battlefield. So many games in the past have had issues balancing and finding a true purpose for LMGs in their multiplayer. Too often its role was completely superceded by assault rifles, and if not it was often way overpowered. Here, finally, a reason to play as the LMG class. We'll have to see if the application of this feature works out but they definitely have the right idea. | ||

 It looks like DICE is taking notes from recent tactical shooters like Project Reality and Red Orchestra. I'm glad they're adding a suppression effect. In most shooters, the LMG did nothing but attract attention from snipers and riflemen. "Oh hey, this guy's spraying his M249 at me, there's no way he can hit me, I'll shoot him with my vastly superior gun" | ||

Don't forget that CoD weapons have no recoil at all. In a regular FPS, if you hold down the 'shoot' button, you get no more than 2 shots before losing control of the weapon. In CoD, you can just get a semi-automatic weapon and kill people with a short burst, which brings "3-5 shots to kill" down to "1 quick burst", which is basically 1-2 shots. | ||

If it's not done to a high enough level, then it becomes pointless. And since I really really am looking forward to this feature, I hope it's done well. =) | ||

That's not entirely true, but the recoil in CoD is easily manageable for must guns (they have different recoil patterns, and the 47 has the simplest as it only goes up). So in general, if using a gun in BF3 means I need to control it more to get good shots, I'm fine with that. I like the idea of not dying the second I get seen. I'm not entirely sold on the vehicles though; vehicle killstreaks in CoD where I had to give up mobility and use a crappy launcher and risk getting killed by it or someone else while I was locking onto it was not fun, or even good gameplay. I guess it's better that your team has tanks too, but I don't put a lot of trust in my teammates usually... Plus I'm worried about destroying cover with big, nasty tanks. I heard it was something you could do in BC2, and cover, to me, is a good thing. This suppression feature though, it's interesting. I'll have to see it in action to get a feel for if I like it or not. On June 11 2011 06:48 Jswizzy wrote: How is it trolling to say that I don't consider COD to be a tactical shooter.

I heard it was something you could do in BC2, and cover, to me, is a good thing. In BC2, walls basically evaporated into nothingness. It seems that in Battlefield 3, chunks of buildings will still exist after being hit by an explosion. So if you hit the third story of a building with a tank cannon, pieces of wall will come down on the ground and provide cover for troops on the ground level. So we won't have those moments like in BC2 where every building gets destroyed and everyone is looking at each other on a flat map and it's impossible for infantry to do anything  | ||
