Hi all

I dont know if this question was asked or not, but will this BF3 have LAN support. I hope they do because its fun to play on lan games, especially at Local Lan's party's. It sucks to play the same old games every time and there is no new games that supports Lan capability.

If you want LAN get Torchlite 2.

when are they releasing the specs ? ... really don't wanna end up playing the game in med!!!
 
Below is a FPS [-]hardware[/-] GPU guide from the Alpha. This table will give a good indication of what to expect hardware-wise when the game is released:

Red = ATI
Green = nVidia

Sig Rig... But the alpha level wasn't one of those sprawling landscape type maps, mostly close quarters stuff.

Ah I see, sig didn't show in the iPhone app. I've got a year old i5-750 and 5850 so I should be ok at 1600x900, but not ultra video though.

Why are there 5 CPU's? Did they have the same results? Is it really just an issue of GPU performance?

This was taken from a Russian gaming website who setup 5 PCs to test BF3 and it's the average result. I think it's mostly about GPU performance, but having a beefy CPU helps too. Bear in mind that the above test is DirectX 11. DirectX 10 is below:

On the server-side of things, it looks like BF3 will be very similar (if not the same) to BC2. I just hope that come launch day servers will be available for purchase and remote admin software is out.

PunkBuster

BF3 will use PunkBuster as its anti-cheat system. Game servers that run in ranked mode are required to have PunkBuster active.
There have been problems with the PunkBuster screenshot mechanism under DirectX 10/11 in the past. However, we have collaborated with EvenBalance to make screenshots function reliably with DX10/DX11 in BF3.
