Lower the texture setting to high (you only have 1gb of usable of memory ultra needs 1gb+) , turn off HBAO use SSAO, and turn off AA, and your performance will be much much better. Also make to be using the latest drivers for your gpu's 12.4 I think, but its known that Crossfire can be quirky with BF3.

Game would be so much better if it actually embraced the whole covert black operations thing.

Baranga

It does, and so did the first one. Black ops doesn't mean Sam Fisher. "An operation that is so planned and executed as to conceal the identity of or permit plausible denial by the sponsor. It is intended to create a political effect which can have implications in the military, intelligence or law enforcement arenas. Covert operations aim to fulfill their mission objectives without any parties knowing who sponsored or carried out the operation. It is normally financed by government revenues but in this age of super-empowered individuals and corporations they could become a common tool of power beyond traditional war and diplomacy."

GamesRadar:

Throughout the campaign there will be moments where decisions could potentially affect which characters live or die and change what events occur in later missions.We?re not exactly sure how these decision-events will play out or if there will be a Mass Effect-like Paragon/Renegade series of paths, but events and character relationships will be greatly affected by those specific moments. Rather than having a completely linear story campaign, Treyarch is taking a choose-your-own-adventure style approach with a branching storyline. Some elements of the story will also change depending on the performance of certain levels in Strike Force.

Strike Force takes Call of Duty to the sandbox, forcing player choice and changing campaign events depending on performance.These missions take place away from the main characters but utilize a Black Ops SEALs team to carry out the objective. Players will reach these missions in the campaign, and then are given the option of which mission (out of several) they can take. You don't have to be "succeed" to move on, but the result will affect the story.

Kotaku on Strike Force:

The missions play out over large, sandbox-y levels, which will call on players to use tactical thinking and creative problem solving to an extent we've certainly never seen in the corridor-happy Cal of Duty franchise before. It may not hit the heights of a true Tom Clancy game (particularly not a GRAW game), but it's still a big shift.

The map I saw seemed quite a bit larger than an average multiplayer map, though nowhere near as sprawling as a large Battlefield map. As you play, a series of varied, narrative-driven objectives will roll over the map.

Players will have the option of hopping between the flying Quad drone, the CLAW tank, another armored mechanized tank, and any of the members of their squad.It wasn't confirmed whether there will be more units available than that in the finished game.

DX11 confirmed

i don't think they have grasped what a black operation actually is, lol.

[QUOTE="Tribaz86"]Yes that is my current PC , i was thinking of getting the new gtx 680 or waiting for the mid range 600 series , would that be overkill? also what kind of ram and how much would you recommend me to max out battlefield 3?topgunmv

Those are my specs. I can max everything except for regular msaa which I leave off (I just use the shader aa) in the campaign, and for multiplayer I just have to turn the textures down to high (you need a 2-3 gb card for ultra textures in multiplayer).

Wait soo Black Ops is now more modern than Modern Warfare :P?

FOR $999 :o

Apparently it's as powerful as two 680's in sli.

I'm kind of suprised that Nvidia beat AMD to the Dual-GPU card for this gen, given how long the 7970 has been out for now I was expecting them to be first to the game. I'm not sure what to expect with the 7990 after seeing the 690, bit of an odd situation in my mind, will it be a better bang for your buck card or will they try take Nvidia head on for the performance crown. Thoughts?

Playing MW3 makes me nauseous. Can't sit at it for more than 20 minutes, even after texture blur fixes. Maybe it's the FOV. C_Rule

Nuff said
