from what i read so far from this thread, gtx560Ti is the reccomended card, but with what kind of setting? med, med-hi, or hi?

u think my gtx460 (zotac amp) can handle med (maybe med-hi)?

During Gamescom 2011, multiple bits of news about Battlefield 3 hit the net. One such piece of news is that when a kit is completed, you can unlock the other faction's weapons. There is no real information on how a kit can be completed. It may be similar to gun leveling system, getting a certain amount of kills/awards with a kit will help to complete it's overall progress. Once you complete a kit in Battlefield 3, you will have access to both faction's weapons.

If you're playing as a US soldier in Battlefield 3 and your kit is completed, you could change your weapon to an AK if you would like.


sauce

imo this is good news AND bad news.

good news is that we no longer hv weapon restriction like in bf2, where we can only pick up enemy's kit.

bad news is, this is gonna feel like bc2, with bigger maps.

COD 1, 2, and 3 is nice, COD MW1 is nice also..in fact i like mw1, but mw2 ruined it all.....guess what, this whole BF vs MW all started with MW2, not MW1.

Origin license agreement gives EA right to collect and share your data
Somewhere weird and repeated

It’s already known that Origin will be required to play Battlefield 3 on the PC, and at first, it seemed like just another digital download service users would have to put up with. However, some might find it disturbing that, according to the Origin End User License Agreement (that thing no one ever reads), EA collects information about your computer, the software installed on it, its hardware, not only to “improve the service”, but they can also pass on this data to third parties, as the document states:

 

The last part, “in a form that does not personally identify you”, is a relief, but still, it’s scary to know that Origin will be collecting all sorts of information from your system, including your IP address and other, non-EA software that you have installed on your PC. You can read the full Origin EULA here.

It gets scarier. Another EA EULA, which covers EA Online and EA account privacy (which is requited to play Battlefield 3), has even more concerning legal speak. The scary part of the EULA, as pointed out by a user on The Escapist Forums:

   

Since Battlefield 3 and all other EA Online games fall under this category, it gives EA the right to collect vast amounts of data on players, and to make matters worse, the beginning of the document states that you waive all your rights to be protected by law. Worse, EA reserves the right to share all of this information with any third party, including law enforcement agencies.

We’re not sure if this is common among other publishers in their license agreements (like Valve’s Steam service), but it definitely seems like EA is taking it too far, if not breaking the law. If you wish to read the EA Online EULA, you can find it here.

this kind of T&C is exactly why Steam pulled out all EA games from their inventory....stupid EA

desert combat (bf1942) and desert conflict (bf2) rox !! love flying the ac130 while my friends pounding the flags with artillery.

ohh and the chopper controls are way harder than bf2 & bc2....yet i manage to fly it like a pro.

What bout this Specs
Intel Core i5 2500 (@3.1Ghz)
Kingston HPX DDR3 1600 C9 Twin DX3 4Gb x2
1Gb DDR5 Sapphire HD 6770

Will dis make BF3 run smoothly on Medium settings?
*
no official specs has been announce yet, so its hard to determine which configs for low, med, or high. from what i've read (no links, sorry...just google it) take your BC2 settings, and drop it 1 or 2 notch, i.e BC2 = high then BF3 = med/ med-low.

my rig can only handle bf3 at med-low if i follow this comparison.
