On the Executive Producer's twitter page:

"Guys/girls, we're working together with Valve to get a BFBC2 pre-order program going on Steam, hope we officially can announce this soon."

I'll have to see the system requirements before determining whether or not I'm going to get it. Getting the parts for my new computer as we speak :)

You're replacing your 750W PSU for your 260 GPU? I have a 650W along with that card and it works like a charm. Trick is making sure you have the appropriate amount of voltage on the V12 rails.

Anyway, I'm highly anticipating Battlefield and will probably get it via steam.

Free HDD space: * 15GB for Digital Version, 10GB for Disc Version (BFBC2) SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Does that mean a 15GB download? :O I would only consider downloading that if I got full speed... but knowing Steam -_-.

Already have a Steam account but I'll be buying the Disc instead...loading a game through Steam can take a long time. Oh well to each his own.

Regardless it's gonna be a great game. Isn't the Beta out this month?

On that link it gives you the size of BF1943 which is 10 gigs. I cant believe that as its only 4 maps. Mybe the pc version of BF1943 has more content than the consoles.

I really liked BF Vietnam and BF2, but I'm really more of a single player type. I'm really hoping BC2's campaign will be awesome and with a good length.

I'm not sure yet if I'll get this on my 360 or on my PC. I played BF: Bad Company on the 360 but I aslo play BF2 on the PC. It's hard to compare them because they are TOTALLY different.

BFBC2 will play more similar to bad company 1 on both PC & 360. Practically the same experience.

Not really, Bad Company 2 on PC will have (To name a few) the ability to prone, dedicated servers and 64 player limit (Or was it 32 players? Can't remember).

I definately can't wait. Its about time to upgrade my video card though. I wish Nvidia would release Fermi already so ATI prices would drop!

[QUOTE="Chiddaling"]Great. Hey how do you guys think the 8800GTS would handle for this game?

I'm quite sure you will be able to play it at least at mix medium/high settings at 1680x1050. My 8800gt bar 2-3 games can play all games at high or mostly high settings at 1440x900 with at least 30fps average while most of the times i get 40-50 fps even and on new games

Okay thanks. My monitor is 19'', I'm pretty sure it would go well on 1440 x 900.

thanks for the correction. if it has prone then it will def be a lot different that its console counterparts. i think the player limit is 32 as opposed to the console's 24

You will be able to run the game fine with that videocard bud. Also depends on your other specs, but your graphics card should be fine bud!

Shoudl get most high settings with maybe one or two at medium.

Isn't GTX 260 the recommended?

I really want to get my hands on this game for the multiplayer and to see how it handles DX11, but I'll probably go for the disc version anyway.

Well, I don't have the graphics card yet. :( But I'm gonna get a new PC in spring-summer so I'm hoping to get this card. It's extremely cheap on Ebay. :) Thanks though!

I'll probably still get it on CD. (Provided it gets some decent reviews anyway).
