Exciting times at last, seems it's right around the corner now

Thankfully i wasn't wrong to believe and hope that the sum of all features shown in an isolated fashion in static screenshots, finally ends up being more than the sum of its parts when seen integrated and in motion.

From the presented set of historic ordnance can fill a tape completely independently of their wishes. Although the entire tape without tracers stuff."

The way i read this? "You'll be able to change your ammunition belting as you see fit".
If this is what google translate means, then that's some pretty good news...no tracers, swoop in and rake them with 20mm fire while they are totally unaware of what's happening

Yup. No upgrade for me. I have an i7 920 (not OC'ed) with 3GB of RAM and an Ati 4890 1GB running winXP 32bit. Actually, the 3GB i got because i didn't want to touch Vista with a 10-foot pole back when i bought it, so i had to stay under the 4GB limit. Also, it made sense due to the i7's/mobo tripple channel feature, so i got 3 sticks of 1GB each.
It's not the best gaming PC out there but judging from the PCs they were running on the show, i guess it has the "oomph" to do the job.
The 4890 does DX10 and as i doubt tesselation will factor in heavily for now, i don't care about getting a DX11 card yet. A few months ago i have also installed win7 64bit on a second disk so i'm good to go. In fact if i get anything at all, it will probably be an extra 3GB of RAM and that will be it for some time.

Keep it up, fellas. It's great entertainment.

True. We don't know how the monitors are calibrated (if they are calibrated at all) and this image is then fed through crappy phone cameras sporting a tiny lens, or a proper videocamera to which we still don't know the specs and how they affect further distortion of the image.
The only way to know how it will look on our PCs is have someone FRAPS it at full detail and send us the .avi to play back on our own screen. Chill out people

That's probably smoke from the guns firing.
