has anyone pre ordered Battlefield 3 yet? just looked at the minimum specs. they seem to be the same as bad company 2 but im skeptical considering battlefield 3 looks incredible. maybe the game has better scaling now that it's using the frostbite 2 engine? EDIT: just had a look on the frostbite wiki and it says "The next generation of Frostbite will debut with Battlefield 3. It will take full advantage of the DirectX 11 API and 64-bit processors,[3] with no support for DirectX 9" interesting... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frostbite_Engine

Don't think I've ever pre-ordered anything anymore than 4 weeks away from launch. I will pre-order it, in august/September. Re: the specs. It's just essentially an upgraded BC2 engine. Knowing what I do about games and hardware, and also looking at the specs, in gonna go on record as saying that, if you can comfortably run BC2 now, i reckon you'll be fine with BF3. All I'm gonna change between then and now is double my ram to 6 gig...

I've pre-ordered it from Gameplay. And Dice have said they have built the engine to look amazing but not be a resource whore on your system. If you can run BC2 smoothly then you will have no problem with BF3.

I want a physical boxed copy, and also get all the pre-order benefits (free Karkand map pack and the physical warfare pack).

P.S. saw a BF3 advert that size on the way to work this morning too in Leeds. needless to say, with advertising this early it's going to be huge.

2 things:
Screen shots only show graphics, not complexity of environments & dynamic building destruction which taxes a persons computer system.
Also, instead of just blanking out your own name, you should have covered EVERYONE in the squad! I don't think I'm wrong when I say every game is recorded, and they'll easily be able to tell who the "missing squad member" is given the list of names left on display... So should they want to they'll disable your account.
This has already happened: YouTube videos are being taken down, and the people having their accounts banned from the game for breaking the NDA.

You'll see in the videos Stu posted earlier they've placed a big black square over the names in the squad list... Maker of the video is a retard though, as who kills whom still appears in the top right... All you'de have to do is wait for him to get a kill and see who did it.. BAN HAMMER!
