Thats most of the important stuff.
Like I said, I'm sure it will run. But I'm not sure if it will be significantly better.
I could say it, and then it wouldn't be true. And I've had the same thing said to me about more than one game; Oblivion, Crysis 2, Fallout 3/NV it didn't turn out to be true then either. At best it was a moderate improvement on my computer, not this mind-blowing-ly amazing transformation.Bearjing said:
It all depends on how sensitive your eyes are i suppose. Some people say they can see the difference between 100fps and 120fps, i cant tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps. But either way your computer will be able to max it out or at the very least have it 95% maxed out.Paragon Fury said:
It sounds like you don't notice the difference between graphics that much (which isn't and insult, more of a blessing) and you don't care about modding, so just go with the platform you enjoy more. Don't over complicated it for yourself.
Hah, don't worry, it will run significantly better. That's a top of the bill PC right there. I've got an AMD PhenomX4 965 3.2 Ghz, 4GB RAM and a Radeon HD 6870, and the only game that doesn't run completely smooth with everything maxed out is Metro 2033. BC2 runs beautifully, and if DICE is to be believed, BF3 should too then. And your PC is even better than mine. You'll be more than fine.Paragon Fury said:
As for how much an improvement, well I'd say a more stable framerate (I've had more than one 360 and PS3 game that still took nosedives below 30FPS) judging by your computer and better graphics on all fronts. It all depends on what you expect when you say "significant", as I found New Vegas and Bad Company 2 incredibly significant upgrades over the console versions, PS3 in my case.
That together with the increased player count, dedicated servers (this one matters so much), easier access to DLC and most probably a longer game lifespan makes the PC version a clear winner.
I would respond, more thoroughly, but I accidentally clicked the "Spinning Button" , which means now I have the Rage and the dizziness for 24 hours.
wow, I'm really shocked to see PC dominating. I love PC gaming and have always considered it the best platform for most genres, and I love to see others still feel the same.
BF3 won't have mods because DICE thinks that it's too "advanced",and any other way will be illegal.Freaker3 said:

OT:I'm pretty sure it'll run better on your PC, and "microsoft gave everyone microphones" you know that you can also mute them?

Jesus Henry fucking Christ dude. Steam does "Have to have Steam to play" all the fucking time. So what? You don't have to have it around all the time, just to play a game.
OT: PC for me. I played BC2 on my mates PS3 and it was slower than the PC. Just slower some how and I really do prefer playing on the PC. Also, BF is co-op based, you know how much easier it is to get shit done in a team? I bought MAG for my PS3, a co-op shooter...No one fucking listens. I've played a lot of shooters on console and the players play like its CoD and I'm sure that most of the players are teenagers or younger as a console is cheaper than a PC.
BC2 is just great on PC, and overall, PC players tend to be better. Not just the quicker or better aiming, just better. Better tactics and more willing to work together.
This is all my experience from playing CoD:MWF, MWF2 and BF:BC2 on PC and playing Halo 2, 3, Reach, BlOps, MoH and MAG on consoles.
All have their differences but PC just seems a bit more mature in my experience.
Uh...James Crook said:
...Have you used it?
It seems OK to me.
You're both being stupid if you're just not buying it on PC because of Origin.
I do.Danny Ocean said:
But there won't be anyone worth talking to. Just like in BF2142, BF2 and the Bad Company games.
I think you've either got a seriously skewed memory of those games or you did a terrible job of picking servers. Did you ever try joining a group/clan?Paragon Fury said:
It was my experience of 2142, as squad leader, with a whole squad with microphones working together properly, that has led me to fanboy over this game so much.
Judging by your other posts so far, it sounds like you don't really want it on PC, but your reasons aren't the best. I mean:
- Gamepad: You'll adjust quickly if you need to. Can you touch-type? Then you'll get it like lightening.
- Graphics: With a brand new rig, it will look better on PC than xBox. That's just a practical fact.
- Community: I honestly think that the PC community is better than the console one. At the very least, they're both as bad as eachother. I think you should try joining a clan or a gaming group where people have microphones and at least see how it goes. We've got one for the Escapist here, if you're interested.

I don't get how vaguely as good as PC counts as a pro for 360? Surely that is a neutral to a negative.Paragon Fury said:
And after all the mic spam I without fail have to suffer across all platforms it is A GOOD THING to have the only sounds be the in game sounds like gunfire, grenades and vehicles. Far better silence than some psychopathic 15 year old mic spamming conspiracy theories about "DEM Muhsleeem!".
Anyway, this game is 'made for PC' it is definitely so that the 360 version is nothing but a console port.
If you want suggestions on a PC build/upgrade, I am happy to point you in the right direction.
