Once no need to watch a trailer more than once becuase this one won't mirror the game :sniper: :monkee:

I think they were running the rec specs (A63 3200+, gig, x800pro) but you can expect the load times to be long- these maps are huge, with what looks like heaps of detail.
I see in one of the previews the x800pro was running at medium settings, because high would be too slow, said an EA Games guy (sorry, my reference sourcing ability corresponds with my energy level, which is pretty low right now) but even so, at medium spec, the reviewer said it looks better than ANY other game out so far (yes including HL2). I guess it's a sort of futureproofing- it'l still look good in a year.

It was also an older version of the game, and the load times are going to be longer.

That and when starting a BF1942 game with bots always takes a lot longer for me to load than simply joining an mp game.

Ya, I was suprised how well it was running. I remember my system was really slow with bots. Some guy has the review version of the game at the totalbf2 forums here is a quote about system specs

3.0Ghz P4, Geforce 6600GT, 1gig RAM.

It runs just smooth on medium. High lags on those 64 player maps.

I am not sure if he was with bots or not, but looking at the screen he posted, I would guess it was not a bot server.

You will be fine on low to medium settings, or medium settings on a low pop server.

Heh, so am I, even though I stop noticing the good graphics after a week I still notice the bad graphics. I just want to have all the essential things, draw distance all the way up is about it.

More info:

Those endgame stats sure are great. You get to see which squad was the best, who was the best medic, who killed the most, who was the best teamplayer...etc

Same here. If there's a select few things I care about in games it's draw distances and model detail. Everything else can go to hell for all I care

I have the exact same specs except I own a 6600GT, im guessing High settings would be pushing it a little too far?

High settings possibly on a low pop server, but I am guessing mostly medium settings.

Consider yourself privileged. I'm running 2gz, 1gb ram and a 9600 Low will be a challenge for me.

Yah, this is it. I think he is wrong on a few points though, like running into enemies is BS IMO. From what I have seen in videos (like the 29 minute one) you can run into them for quite a while and they take no damage, it all depends on your speed.

I wouldn't trust those though, roccomended is usually a little low too.

 

[Nabobalis]

What does that mean ?

 

[The Monkey]

Why is the RAM so high and the Ghz so low?

 

[Gargantou]

My comp will be utterly raped by this game
P4 2.5 Ghz, 512MB RAM, 9800Pro..*Sigh*

 

[jimbo118]

videocard.
they're pretty high end tbh.
does bossman really have the game or is he bs'ing?

Get another 512 stick of RAM, it will help out the most. If you have low RAM you will lag more no matter what the graphics are, but if you get more your load times will be faster and there will be less lag.

IMO Bossman probably has the game, but he is very confused.

Probably has the game, or knows someone who does. Those pics weren't posted anywhere else.

 

[The Monkey]

Mine's 512 mb RAM 2,6 Ghz, 9600 SE.

yeah i'd say 3ghz+ for max quality etc, the rest is probably spot on.

How much does a good 512 stick cost these days?
I'm really saving up cash for buying a new comp in 2k6.

 

[The Monkey]

Will 9600 SE work?

£32, thats how much

Can you delelte(?) your own posts?

 

[Gargantou]

Nah, made a quick check myself.

Kingston DDR 512MB PC3200 400MHz CL3, how does that sound?
