I don't want to risk spending money on this while not trusting my pc to be able to handle some of the bigger maps... maybe post holiday, or if/when I upgrade my laptop...

Intel Core i7
Nvidia GeForce GTX 460M
8GB DDR3-1333 RAM

I ran that caspien map on all different sorts of settings and nothing helped... I'll try updating my Nvidia driver, and hopefully that will help. But that was the first game my pc couldn't handle, it was a sad day, kind of like getting kicked in the nuts

no, its a 1920 x 1080, I don't know if that affects anything though...
Well this gives me more optimism, I'm still gonna look into upgrading the Nvidia card, we'll see what happens.

Bah, you can't get away from those XBox kiddies, can you? They even invade the PC threads.

Well when you present opinion as fact, someone has to call you out on it.

Using facts, please describe what the XBox does better than PC.

Graphics? Advantage PC
Ease of use? Depends on what factors you use to define this. Advantage PC because it lets you change whatever you need to. XBox lets you change nothing.
Server connection? Dedicated servers are far better, Advantage PC.
Input variety? Keyboard / Mouse. Controller. Joystick. Almost every single game can accept all 3 input types.

An Xbox is cheaper than a PC needed to play the game.
Everyone is on the same hardware, so the people who can shell out the coin needed to play the game on these uber settings don't have that advantage over those playing it on mediocre hardware.

So say I'm wrong about it being cheaper, but then you say in the first line that it's cheaper.... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I can build you a 4GB XBox for cheaper than 199 bucks.

I can easily shave cost out of that processor and GPU...bring it down to XBox standards.

Cool! Then why did you say it was cheaper?

And pray tell, what operating system are you running on this hardware? I mean, last I checked, Windows costs money.

Not yet, I'm still in my CoD comfort zone, where I'm killing bitches left and right at a 1.41 clip 8) I will be getting Battlefield soon though...

No... you got the joke perfectly. You and I are the BF3 lovers who could give 2 shits about k/d ratios.

My system has been able to handle the campaign mode without a glitch up to this point whilst running high graphics, I hope that transfers over to the multiplayer...

That shit done broke my computer :evil: It didn't crash or freeze, it was able to handle everything with ease; but something physically broke and my laptop is a lot louder as a result... probably my fan.

but it's still a fun game, I just need to step away from the K:D mindset...

IMU, do you think all these hacks (e.g., aim assists, tricks to get below the map, and other mods) make the PC version of BF3 inherently more unfair than the console version?

Have you ever used an aimbot?

Have you ever seen a grown man naked?

the only good thing about console version compared to PC is the fairness aspect. I played on the PC version finally. I can see why you like it, but it was pretty clear that hacking is much more prevalent on that platform than you suggest. I'll take worse graphics and lower player count, but fairer any day of the week. Just my preference.

One long ago, the other not so long ago.

You have to believe me (well, I guess you don't), but there was a lot of hacking. Specifically the one where you go below the map. Not good. You just don't have that on consoles.

All I know is I've played both now and its pretty clear to me that consoles are MUCH more balanced. My buddy has shown me many of the PC glitches and they are real. I'm not seeing any of the 360 glitches you "googled" in my games. Let me know when you play 360 version... then perhaps your opinion maybe worth something to me. You can try to argue your point all you want, but I guess I've actually witnessed both and I believe that is worth more to me than an anonymous poster on a sports messageboard.

Whatever dude. You've used aimbots too apparently, so cast the first stone.

Apparently you don't have that much in PC either, considering I play the PC version far more than you and I don't come across it. Using a larger sample size...it isn't an issue.

I'll take aiming with skill, better graphics, more players, better teamwork, and rare glitching over aim assist, no graphics, 24 player cap, kids, and rare glitching.

By the way, google 'XBox BF3 cheats'...there are plenty. You're blind to them I guess. :)

edit: crosscheck, how many cheaters / glitchers do you see?

I've only seen one guy with the aim bot, but that was in the beta testing. But that doesn't stop people from accusing each other 50 million fucking times per match :roll:

I don't know what glitching is so I can't comment on that...

If shit like that has happened, I've been completely oblivious to it. But I've never seen anyone complain about that sort of thing though. Not that it doesn't exist.

Me too. And larger sample sizes trump smaller sample sizes.

I'm sorry you had a crappy experience, but it isn't indicative.


A) If that sample size is reliable (which the interwebz is not) then you might have something there. And since you have zero personal sample size, kinda hard for you to opine on the veracity of the statement.

B) My experience wasn't bad... in fact, it was good. I just prefer fair to pretty. And its just my opinion. It's indicative of my experience which is all I'm doing here.
