Do you play Crysis or ARMA II? That should give you some idea.

Yes I bought ARMA 2 Combined Ops. But I had low fps with medium/low settings, no shadows, no AA and low visibility distance so I stopped playing it after 2 hours. What a colossal waste of money.

Alien Predator and Dirt 2 are the only games I know that support Tesselation.

There are around 20 games that have some support for DX11.

Months ago it was clear DX11 was on the back burner for BOB.

Now that it's not fully supported... back to the darn whining, from the same people.

All we have heard for months is SPECS, SPECS, and SPECS. The nuisance postings are now answered. Read the specs, and adjust your system accordingly.

Well I'm in the same boat. I've got a 5 year old system that used to be bleeding edge, but with a 10 year mortgage right now I'm probably going to wait a while before getting a new system. If you can stand it, wait until Intel/AMD and ATI/Nvidia have each released a next-generation flagship CPU/card so all the current monster CPU/cards drop in price considerably. You'll be playing CoD faster and probably at 1/2 the price of the people who are right now dropping their money on hardware to play it.

nearmiss, you should have kept one of them banned

What's the recomended and minimum spects regards 6DOF hardware?

Can we use mouse, keyboard, webcams with FreeTrack or FaceAPI, TrackIR solution?

I really like to know that and in this stage of production you devs maybe can finally answer this simple question...

It's the only lack of feedback that really scare me...

S!

Minimum requirements are just that what they say. Settings where the game runs at a relatively low resolution(for today's standards at least) and without any bells and whistles. It is playable but far from high FPS, enjoyable gameplay or anything compared to the screens and pics on a game box, for example.

IMO the devs could put minimum requirements to reflect a game that has say medium settings at a reasonable resolution at the lowest render..in this case DirectX 9(which is not a bad one). A medium range machine that is the most common today. I bet the minority of gamers have a superduper machine but more like a midrange where the GPU/CPU are reasonably priced for the consumer.

Marketing a game with low requirements without telling that the game looks just plain bad then = false marketing. The minimum requirements never say that you miss sometimes a lot of the features that a higher end user will enjoy.

I am confident after seeing the specs that my AMD rig is more than enough for a nice gaming experience at anything except the Ultra settings(or whatever devs have decided them to be).

wot?

It's been over 15years that the min sys requirement is only to run the game.... if you dont know that by now, you must have been living under a rock for sure............

Minimum is with nearely everything off
and recommended is closer to medium-high

That is exactly what I'm planning to do, but I'll buy COD only when I'll have new computer.

S!

Genbrien..still many fall to the box pics and assume the minimum is same as the pics on the box. For example a parent buying the game to the happy gamer etc. There is always a whiner that why oh why does the game not look this or that even the system is as listed in minimum. Got it?

I do know not to trust the minimum..just for the overkill and you will be fine

I'm confident it will run better on my Q6600@ 3.2/4GB ram/4850 card than il2 did originally on my P4 2.66/512 ram/MX440 card all those years ago...
As in the original il2,I will upgrade as and when necessary as the sim matures,or I want more eyecandy.
