Battlefield Bad company2 discussion thread

[lasher]

Looking forward to this release

Steam are offering it playable from the 28th of this month as Beta inc 6 player unlocks for £35

Hmmm very tempting.

Was a massive Battlefield fan but the novelty seemed to wear off, can see this release getting me back in the groove!

Oh man I cant wait I played the heck out of BF2 and a little bit of bad company on the console, now all I need is a DX11 gpu

Need new processor. My current one doesn't cut it. But I will try and see how badly it chuggs LOL.

3 more days of Modern failfare 2 -.- Hurry up imo!@!

 

[ivanho614]

When BF2 was released it was very demanding it looks like BC2 will be the same. I think I am going to wait to see some benchmarks hopefully the engine scales well for older systems.

Nice! I mean I knew about those sites but I just cba to check them cuz I thought they wouldn't have it listed yes as it's not released yet

Yes! Your system meets the recommended requirements for Battlefield Bad Company 2.

It should run well on your computer at high visual settings.

WOOHOOOO!! xD

Video Card

Recommended: 512 MB Graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 + / ATI Radeon HD 4870 +)

You Have: ATI display adapter (0x94B3)

Upgrade Suggested: Unfortunately, your Video Card does not meet this requirement.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO awwww that's so unfair xD Guess I'll be getting a second 4770 soon

 

[zak4994]

So how do you think BF:BC2 will run on a 1.6Ghz processor? I'm planning to try it out first then buy a processor. lol

[zak4994]

Play.com ftw?

Going to get mine from Game as it is £2 cheaper. Don't mind the fact that there is no Beta access.

 

[Bennyboi02]

Lol @ running it on a 1.6ghz processor. I bid you good luck.

The Battlefield forums have been getting loads of mixed results. How does your rig run the game?

 

[Pyr0]

works well here, i was running it at 2560x1600 4xAA, 16xAF with HBAO off

but now running it at 1920x1200 everything on high/enabled 4xAA, 16xAF and getting anywhere between 40-70 ish FPS

It runs fine on a GTX 260 at 1680x1050 High settings. No slowdowns, but it does feel quite unoptimised at the moment bearing in mind it is still in beta. I get around 30-70 FPS depending on how much action is going on (DX9 mode).

The gameplay itself is awesome
