You'll be fine. Just don't expect to run it on anything higher than a low/medium mixture.

*donationsdonationsdonationsdonations*
no kidding i'll take donations for a new motherboard and matching video cards, my computer runs it okay, but i wish it ran it more fluid. oh and i'll take one of those DC AMD64 chips as well.
*donationsdonationsdonationsdonations*
oh well i tried, no really though how in the heck do you get a 100fps in this game, it hogs everything?
oh one other thing, if anyone has played the xbox demo for battlefield 2, i really don't see how in the hell they can call it the same game! i mean the name is about the only thing that the xbox version and pc version share, i'll stick with my computer on this one, the xbox version really SUCKS!

I've given up on PC gaming. I just got tired of upgrading my hardware. I have other interests competing for my disposable income.

This demo though was really fun except for it locking up too often. I will absolutely be picking this Xbox game up when it comes out and i hope several of the Let Us win clan will as well so we can form a clan in this game. Perhaps some dvdtalkers can get into it to on Live.

if the game wasn't so damn cheezAfied on the xbox i'd snatch one up because i love how the game is. but i'm sticking with my computer on this one. i have to say though it is too bad that you can't use your xbox control with the computer version that would make me so much more happy time!

Those graphics are much nicer, but since my PC couldn't produce those anyways graphics weren't as much an issue for me. I'm more curious about the actual gameplay changes... like this merging of classes and having fewer classes seems like a bummer.
That screenshot in the fighter jet looks bloody incredible btw.

What kind of connections do you guys have? I have 512 up and down and some times the game plays great but the majority of the time the lag sucks. Like you will be walking one direction and then all of a sudden be faced the opposite way. Or people don't walk past you but rather slide on their feet. Get's annoying when you go to shoot something and the screen skips and what you are shooting at isn't even there anymore.

Beandip what graphics card are you running and at what settings. That might even put more people in shock. I run: Xp2600+, 1gb ram, 6800gt, and run most stuff on medium at 1024x768 @ 70hz so I don't even see it for all its greatness. Great game but taking me a Long time to hit Cpl.

When I was using my 9800XT on this system I ran everything on med with no AA same 1280*960. So if anyone is looking for a cheap card that does well I'm thinking the 9800 ones would work.
Anyway I got some more screen shots, and I think I forgot the engineer class from my other post.

In the demo i believe the classes are assault, sniper, special ops, support (which is the medic), and engineer.
Of course it is just a demo - perhaps when the full version comes out there will be more classes. Or has it been announced they condensed everything for the console?

yeah maybe the full retail version won't be so cheezAfied. then again i don't do anything else so i may pick it up because i always have fun playing halo with everyone from here. i could deal with the crappy graphics if a lot of the guys here pick it up it would still be hella fun then
