still on a q6600, 8800gtx sli 4gb ddr2 machine. doubt i'll ever upgrade this system. games just arent good enough to justify the expense.

if this game really is a breath of fresh air to the (competitive) pc gaming community, then i'll consider forking out some moolah.

frankly though, im holding my breath.
That rig will run it just fine, tbh.

He says that, but I bet he bought a 30" monitor and will want to run at its native resolution. It's true what he said, the hardware is severely outpacing the software at the moment, but that doesn't go for monitors. The resolutions just keep getting higher for no real inconceivable reason. And you PC gamer types keep lapping it up, then complaining that you can't run games at those res.

And there's an Xbox demo out? That should mean hopefully the PS3 gets the demo today too (Thursdays update days) - Need my BC2 fix.

Here's more footage of the PC demo.

I have an HD4850 and a Q6600, both stock. At 1600x900 resolution and while not recording, I get an average of around 60 FPS on medium and 20 FPS on high.

This game plays very well, definitely not a console port.

I'm seeing PC Beta key giveaways coming in on twitter right and left. I'm not going to be able to keep up with it all day today. So, here's a link you can use to monitor twitter using Google:

Does it automagically become available in Steam or do I have to keep restarting like a sucker?

My state was founded by Batman. Your opinion is invalid.

I'm guessing by the time the technical problems with the client installer sites, the crashes, the freezes and problems with the download time due to masses of people trying it all at once, it will be Saturday before i get it installed and then even more problems no doubt will arise.

I may be wrong but this game will be more like BF2 than i thought, hopefully there will be as much good as bad.....
