System Requirements?

Anyone heard anything about this? What particularly worries me is that on Titan maps you'll have a rather large and open map and a large moving container with complex internal arrangements. Even if you never set foot on the titans you still have to load all the internal geometry of both of them to make the transition smooth.

I just upgraded recently to AMD64x2 3800 and ATI X1600 512MB and I hope that I can get decent performance on par with BF2.

I'm sure that will be fine. If it isn't, can I have it?

Re: System Requirements?

tpg - What game designers often try to do is program the game such that only geometries you are about to see are actually loaded. DICE could set it up such that whilst one is travelling towards a Titan in a launch pod or whatever, the Titan gets loaded and the ground below is unloaded. Or something like that.

Anyone may feel free to correct me if I am wrong though! I am not a programmer.

Re: System Requirements?

I just hope they will have a benchmark before the game is released.

Re: System Requirements?

Re: System Requirements?

I remember reading a statement from EA that the hardware requirements will be the same as BF2...as snail says, its the same graphics engine, only tweaked a bit
