I vote that we don’t get started with all this shit… play the game and respond to stuff through the game as it happens. Making up arbitrary rules just annoys me. Same goes with people complaining about base raping. Just get on with it!
I just upgraded my machinefrom 6 to 12gig DDR3. Did it for after effects… but if any1 is interested…makes feck all difference to BF3 🙂
Bloody hell max you feeling OK? Only 9.5? I thought that if EA released a big shiny turd and charged a hundred quid for it you would be first in line at the shops! 😆
Had first games last night.
GFX – awesome.
Sound: Super awesome.
Blowing up Ben every time he gets in a tank: Uber awesome.
Same old shit but smoother, prettier and more intense.
8.5/10 I would say – get in there.
Wouldnt mind the odd game of RO2 sometimes as well though – different beast. Really surprised you aint liking it Nom.
Oh -and pleasantly surprised by the campaign game. Is no one else finding it pretty good?

Actaully, no. It’s pretty fucking amazing.
Takes a bit of getting used to after playing Red Orchestra, but it looks gorgeous. You’ll need a monster machine to get the best out of it though 😯
You mean a PC?

Just read judgehs advice……ssd only improves the loading times and start up time of windows 7 so no real gain in his humble opinion
That’s what I’ve been saying for a while without really having a clue, but good to hear it from someone in the know 🙂
Hmmm – that is not my experience. Windows is the environment where everything happens – so having it on hand at all times is a huge boon. Large games that use your pagefile will certainly see a benefit… but even if you have lots of RAM and so don’t use it… you will still see a benefit in loading times.
I used to regularly get into games faster when i used a velociraptor,,, and now I am even faster if I have the prog on my SSD.
Putting Premnier/ photoshop and after effects on my SSD is a no brainer – massively increased productivity.
Just did a very quick google search about the subject….
No idea what these guys agenda / influences are – but their figures look legit to me.
Wrong way round m8 – you want your OS on the SSD. Progs on the SATA. I have premiere on my SSD as well. But nothing else.
470 should be fine insane. I wouldn’t buy another gfx card just now if I were you.
I bought NVIDI for use with adobe premiere – if I didnt use that then I would have bought ATI as I agree with what Beer said.
re overclocking Insane – it isnt standard on the pc specialist comps – but if you go for the water cooling for the CPU like me you will find it easy i am sure. the asus motherboard comes with a very simple tool that you can use from within windows to push your overclock up.
I have been lazy and not done it yet – but will just before bf3 comes out.
The warranty is priobably not needed for someone with your computer skills – but still – nice to know that all the components in your machine have been tested TOGETHER… and been proven to work for 24 hours before being shipped to you.
If the whole thing goes pear shaped you just send it back in the first year… if you build it yourself and do something stupid like fry the MB or such like then you just have a pile of junk. 🙂
Well – i am happy to be proved wrong but a few points.
1) the motherboard on the specialist deal is about 50 quid dearer than the OC one (on the OC own website)
2) You would save £30 buying the monitor elsewhere (I bought my PC from specialist – but bought my monitor from overclockers for example!
3) You are comparing a water cooled system (specialist) to an air cooled system (OC).
Still – I take your point, there might not be much in it. Last I looked I got EXACT spec comparison between OC and specialist and specialist was cheaper.. but that was a while ago now.
i helped a friend buy a PC recently and after pricing them up found that SCAN had the best deal on at the time for a pre built so went with that. You do need to shop around a bit.
Same old story.
Trust me – I have no fears about building a system… but I can assure you i priced my machine on overclockers et all as components and couldn’t get close to the pre built price from the big companies.
What you are saying was true a few years ago Beer – but I don’t think you have checked prices properly.
