I'm loving it, and it is pretty demanding specs-wise, it is quad core optimised, and looks bloody good. :) (For DX10 goodies set shader level to Very High)

I'm guessing, but I bet it won't run on my specs. :D

I can't either.

Not that I'd want to play this game but my computer exceeds the minimum requirements. Wish I had the dough to build one that would run it, then I could run my other games on full.

Still old, my computer, now even only being built a year ago.

I wouldn't worry about High settings, quad core rigs overclocked with dual 8800GTX's are struggling with High settings at a decent res, and that's without AA. I averaged 30FPS on full with no AA @ 1280x1024.:eek: This game is meant for future specs, and 9800GTX territory.


Liam

Downloaded it yesterday and well I got to say I am amazed. Everything looks great now it would be better if my mouse didnt lag.

Savin money up for another GTS so I can do SLi and see how it runs them.

10/10

SLI will be working when the game arrives, it won't work on the demo which is a shame, there will probably be an emergency multi-core patch on release day too.


Liam

I just read about this game on EA forums, for which I'm a member there. I can tell you for sure, I'll not buy this game. I don't do FPS's.

Did you know, liam, that EA has beta testers, and a link on their forums to sign up if you've not done so yet.

I knew that they allowed signups, but some were done through fileplanet and the like, do you have a link please?

The EA Nation/Sports forum is unbelievably hard to navigate, and i'm not seeing much on the UK forums.


Liam

The signup I saw was through fileplanet also.

Here is the link I use to get to their forums. Probably the same you have though.

Thanks PL, i'll have a dredge through and see if any of them take my fancy. :)

YW liam. I play the Harry Potter games, the lastest best of the lot of them and joined EA forums for help with the game. Have given help back too.

The graphics are so good, I got chapped skin from the high-altitude jump at the beginning....

I so wish my PC could run this game.....

(Please make a 360-port... Please make a 360-port...)

I doubt the 360 could run it...we'd need to wait for the next gen consoles.

There may be a port based on the new engine, fingers crossed as that would be good.


Liam

Liam, the demo download link doesn't work. Verify it please?

EA pulled it because FilePlanet and the rest have it up now, i've replaced the link with a Fileplanet linky, Thanks for the heads up.
