Battlefield 3 - PC System Requirements Not As High Like Crysis 2

[Suavemente1974]

In a recent interview EA's Product Manager Kevin O’Leary said that the system specifications will not be crazy high or Crysis-like, but he wouldn't give any more details about this. We know that Cryteks decision to make Crysis 2 more accessible to low-spec PC gamers and their console brethren might have been a mistake.

A lot of the hardcore base fans where complaining about the low system spec of Crysis 2, are DICE and EA going to make the same mistake with Battlefield 3? Many of the PC gamers are still waiting when they are revealing the system requirements so that they can upgrade their PC, or is that not needed? Below you see the questions & answers from the interview.

"Q: What can we expect for PC requirements to run BF3?

A: We’d love to tell you, but we’re not quite ready to release minimum specs just yet. I can tell you that the specs will not be anything crazy or Crysis-like. More details to come.

Q: Will we see the command rose or something similar?

A: That’s a good question! We do offer a lot of set up and customization on the PC for people to decide how they want to play. I’m not exactly sure how we’ll be doing the command rose.

Q: Will there be a server browser for consoles?

A: There will not be a server browser for consoles. We just recently announced “battle log” which is PC based but it’s a really friendly community tool. It allows you to branch out with friends and set up and join private matches. It’s also great for E-Sports, if you’re playing competitively, because it’s going to work with MLG and ESL and all those partners. So you’ll be able to authenticate matches without having to take screenshots and all that kind of stuff because the data feed is going to be encrypted and secure and be sent to them.

Q: How many weapon customizations can be expected?
A: Thousands! Probably tens or hundreds of thousands. This is the biggest battlefield we’ve ever made so the customization is huge and open. There’s three slots on every weapon so you can clip things on like a flashlight or flash suppressor, tons and tons of things. Optics… I can’t even believe how many optics they’ve gotten into the game.

Q: Will there be day and night cycles in multiplayer and if so how will they work?

A: Not so much cycles, instead we have day and night maps."

Well I can play Crysis 2 maxed out with an acceptable frame rate, so good news

I hope that the requirements are a little higher then Crysis 2. Look at the differences between DX9 vs. DX11 of Crysis 2, that's awesome.
