My advice would be......dont plan ahead too much Especially with computers! - Get all the important stuff done and the rest will fall into place
With the time between now and when BF3 might come out (a year or more at least), I think you have plenty of time to save up for a machine to run it. Hell, I'll probably have to overhaul my machine by the time it comes out.
bf3 can't come fast enough for me , but in the short term bfbc2 is filling the hole , the heavy metal map is awesome............
Well Beta is a year from October. Expect EA to show of BF3 big time at E3 next year, proably have a Autum/Winter release most likely for the Christmas sales.
I am the biggest battlefield 2 fan boy so what i'm about to say don't hate me. BF2 is one of the greatest pc game there is. But since that game we have seen a downward slope of the battlefield series. 2142 was okay but it was the start to the slope. How many of you are actually die hard fans and play the fallowing games religiously; BFBC2, heros, MOH (for its reasons), and many others for the consoles. I could play BF2 for hours, days, months and not be disappointed. With the newer sloped games I don't get as much enjoyment out of them. I can only play them for a short amount of time without getting sad that EA has done this to the series. I really have a feeling that they will improve a lot of things but it wont be as enjoyable as bf2. They are going to try to get the Cod fans to come play BF and us die hards bf fans will be disappointed. If EA/Dice F***s this up I'll become a die hard starcraft player (this game has not let me down) and my pc shooting experienced will come to a trickle with the occasional bf2 playing. My bf2 stats http://bf2s.com/player/70588933/
BF2 is one of the few games you can play for hours, take a break from it and still come back to it and play more.
Impressive stats! And it's nice to see 1000 hours played without a positive KDR! A true reflection of the teamwork aspect of BF2! I hope that EA/Dice decide to add a team deathmatch mode for the COD market but keep good old conquest and jets for the rest of us normal people. If they give me BF2 in the BC2 engine, then i will quite happily cough up all the money they want!
I have to smirk at the jet hatred (shared by me). Most of the main points pop up that if the jets are not balanced on each time, it's just a massacre. I haven't played the 1.5 version, so I cannot atest as to how improved the AA sites are, or indeed the AAA. Some say that choppers are worse than planes, but I beg to differ. At least they are slower moving targets, hell you can even hit them with a tank round - *POP!* Essentially, I would be more than happy if they simply converted BF2 into the Frostbite 2 engine and gave us 6-man squads again. Also, for the love of all that is worth mentioning, please retain bullet drop and proper squad orders. Being able to issue waypoint markers is one thing I miss in BC2, giving your squad a set destination makes for co-ordination improvements
totally agree, we need the command rose (Q) back to issue quick commands and the waypoints / objective markers on the map were excellent. We need squad leaders back aswell, someone tasked with taking control!
