I'm pretty psyched about this game as well. Just to prepare for it I bought BF:BC2 on ebay for $15 BUT for Xbox. I'll be honest guys, one of the main reasons I am getting this game is to play with you guys again. Unfortunately only one of my friends in RL has the rig to play this game so I am depending on people I knew from Quake and the ones I met on MW2. And let's be honest, this isn't CoD where you can carry the entire team. This game is extremely team focused so it would be nice to have proper teammates from Quake 3 (that spammed their macros in teamchat saying FROZEN HERE, MELT ME. Haha =P).

I have the money saved up for a brand new rig but I am waiting for beta and hardware benchmarks for this game first. I'm debating

A. Will this game take advantage of hyperthreading (many people claimed yes). If so, I'll get the i7 2600k, if not, the i5 2500k (Although I still want i7 for e-peen reasons haha).

B. Which GPUs will run this game best? So far I am leaning to the AMD 6970 hoping it can play it smoothly on max settings at 1680xsomething resolution. If not, crossfire 6870 should do the trick. This is assuming AMD and Nvidia stay equal ground in terms of performance.

I have high hopes hardware wise because DICE mentioned that they optimized their game not to require much more hardware than BF:BC2. What I don't have high hopes for is the actual teamwork gameplay of the game. Skap, I noticed you have alpha so maybe you can comment on this (also if you played BF2 and BF:BC2 can you compare and contrast BF3 alpha for us?)

How does the squad system work? Unfortunately I heard they continued to keep the dumbed down version from the Bad Company games. Having a commander, squad leaders, and able to manually create and/or choose individual squads was really an amazing part of BF2 and BF2142 which I heard is not in BF3. That's blasphemy to me! It's already bad in BF:BC2 (on Xbox not sure how PC works) that you end up joining the losing team (because of rage quitters) and you can't even properly organize your squad to turn the fight around.

Heh, I also have some IRL friends who will play, but I've already told them my heart belongs to o2o

. Well, not exactly in these words, that would be pretty geek-ish.

Anyways I'm glad to see you'll be sticking around for BF3 ;O!

Couldn't of said it better Kikyo. It's good to see you guys still around. I've had a chance to talk to Mega on steam a few times and Jesus and I have been tearing up in Black Ops like its nobody's business.

Speaking of business, I need help from you guys (Knowing I'm not the only hardware geek on here).

So initially I was going to build a rig myself by ordering parts from newegg and tiger direct.
Priced at around $1300 with i7 2600k, 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz, AMD 6970, Asus P8Z68 mobo, 1TB HD, 850W raidmax psu, case, and random shit like some optical drive, paste, operating system etc...

Then I went on cyberpowerpc.com and I customized a computer there. Cost roughly $50 more for roughly the smae parts but they do give you a 3 year warranty and my buddy bought from there and chose the option to have the cables neatly made and they done an outstanding job that I would never be able to do.

Now I am also one of those people that browses for deals everyday on deals2buy, logicbuy, dealzon and etc. There is a 30% off an HP computer coupon. In the end, for $1,049.99 (+ free shipping) got me a i7 2600, nVidia GTX 580, 8GB DDR 1333Mhz, 1TB HD, 600W psu.

This HP deal is really something. Yes I lose the ability to pick a cool case, a proper mobo, and a PSU but thats where I save $250-300. I also get slower memory and lose the ability to OC the i7 but thay aren't limiting factors in gaming anyway. 1600Mhz ram and 4.5ghz clock speed on the 2600k probably wouldn't give me any noticeable FPS increase. But, I left the best for last. This puppy would come with a 1.5gb GTX 580 card which a lone is $450-500 on newegg and is a little better than the AMD 6970. And of course a warranty because god knows how this hardware will handle the heat in their shitty cases. As soon as its up I'm definitely putting it in a proper case haha.

What do you guys think I should do? Any idea if prices are even going to drop by Oct 25th and therefore I should wait? I got till Sept 21st to decide (coupon expires).

I'll always build my own...much better experience and more freedom to chose which parts and to customize things the way you want. Do your own cable management!

Also, here's that error message Mega!

As for me, OMFGWTFBBQ VOL7! ......................VOL7!

I mean, we didn't really know each other too well, but the feeling inside me right now would make a big girl cry.

I hope you're doing well man! I look FORWARD to play BF3 wif j00!

I had a nice chat with Mega and decided to wait on my build.

Riddick you make a very valid point. It does make it more interesting and satisfying when you have your own parts. Also anyone who build their own computer knows that it feels like Christmas when you get the huge ass box from newegg with all your parts. It makes you feel like that one "OM MY GOD" kid on youtube. However, after going from two builds I am kind of bored of actually setting it up. Cable management sucks (although I haven't tried one of those cool cases that hides the cables) and I'd just want it ready to go with the parts I want so we'll see what I'll end up doing.

Anyway, something more relevant to everyone else

It doesn't look promising to me. I'm guessing no single card (not even the GTX580) will be able to play this on max settings. Recommended is usually medium-high. If medium-high doesn't look amazing in comparison to console I'm going to be pissed.

EDIT:
Diablo 3 beta came out as well. Hoooray!
