Its not a DRM, so far.

It just download stuff and thats it. Also activate the retail EA games.

BF3 Recommended Specs.

* Windows 7 or Vista (SP1)
* EA Origin
* CPU: quad core 2.0 GHz or faster
* RAM: 4 GB or more
* Hard Drive: 7.25 GB free disk space
* Video RAM: 512 MB or greater
* DirectX 10 or 11 compatible video card with latest drivers (AMD 11.5 or later, nVidia 275.33 or later)
* Sound: DirectX 10 or 11 compatible card
* Internet: broadband connection

I think i might be buying a new PC. Probably a Sager.

The sound of this game is orgasmic. The directional sounds are extremely well done and you can actually differentiate which side is the sound from.

I just hope the recommended specs dropped to Quad Core requirement, then, im happy. I want 60fps on medium.

Looks like the BF3 back end still isnt very stable.

Most of the videos are having slight teleporting.

Rather than their PC lag.

If the specs shown is close to the recommended specs, i think minimum should be some sort of 2GHz dual core with a decent DX10 GC like 9800.

Man, the animations and lighting are amazing.

No, I won't miss it cause bc2 one is ugly and fake.

Wow, nice video.

There is a pretty nice tip on the performance: "As a reference the Alpha plays at the same sorts of frames as Crysis 2 does in dx9."

Looks like Medium with 1080p for me with 30-40 fps. Thats my experience in the Crysis 2 Beta.

Hopefully,i could run on BF3 on Medium at 720p with 40 to 50fps. Thats all i want.

Medium details and High, isnt much different in the Alpha. Things might go ape shit crazy when DICe unlock the full destruction.

I like this one.

More realistic.

Dunno man, i find the BC2 killcam actually made the killer look so badass until he get killed when you are watching the killcam.

Im fine with BF3 now.

No kill cam is fine for me.

Are you running on max setting?

OMG, looks like im right, the optimisation seems terrible.

its fine if the Alpha optimisation is bad, but look at Black Ops now, even my G73 still lags playing that game while BC2 is running at 40 to 60fps.

I am worried that optimisation isnt fixed till release.

Thats true, and usually optimisation starts about 3 months before release. DICE have some time to get it right for now.

Hope Beta is much better than Alpha.

Yea, added a few games of mine to Origins.

FYI, Back to Karkand is not just maps.

It's a THEMED EXPANSION with BF2 style vehicles and maps. Just like Vietnam in BC2

Limited Edition comes with the Back to Karkand for free.

Anyone who didnt get LE wont get Back to Karkand for free. If you have Limited Edition, you have Back to Karkand for free.

Is it really that difficult to understand?

No wonder it felt so weird using AT4 to take down chopters.

Whats wrong with vehicles? They are part of the things that made Battlefield fun.

Then, you probably should go back to CoD then.

I cant fly anything in Battlefield since 1942, but i have been a decent with tanks and other land vehicles. They are not that difficult to drive., Besides, no one is asking you to fly a jet or heli. Dont tell me you cant even drive a humvee.

So, now we need Origin to run BF3, ME3 and so on.

It does make me feel like getting Skyrim instead. I am expecting EA will drop some shit on it sooner or later. So, here is the shit.

I hate to run 2 different clients on my PC.

Great, OT, now Trackmania 2 also have its own DD.

I have Steam, Impulse, Capsule, Origin. How many more DDs i need?

Apparently, when you launch BF3 from the exe or Origin, the game will load you to Battlelog, which is in a browser, and you pick a server from there. From there, you are in game.

That sounds like BF Heroes or BF Play4Free. Incredibly annoying.

Not only that, i am very very afraid to see more and more Steam wannabes, where you need to have various software running at the same time to play some game.

Thats really annoying.

I think im gonna use Xfire again.

Not just Origin, i think Impulse also wants to be Steam wannabe with their new Reactor.
