Full system requirements for Battlefield 3 reported on Sep-20-2011
One of the biggest releases of the year is of course Battlefield 3. Pretty much every gamer out there would have heard of this title and most will be considering very hard whether to buy BF3 or MW3 (Modern Warfare 3). One aspect of this hype is the huge amounts of speculation surrounding the Battlefield 3 System Requirements. The Battlefield series has long been a PC gaming favourite and BF2 was pretty much responsible for the majority of gamers upgrading their PC's RAM.
So the prospect that the high BF3 system requirements will push the limit of the average gamers rig, driving most of us to consider a serious upgrade to get the best from the game, is a very real possibility. But also the game is being developed to run on the current consoles which suggests that the minimum system requirements will have to be pretty low. And so the speculation continues. Well, we now have the Beta system requirements for BF3 in hand so lets take a look at what EA/Dice are saying we will need to run BF3...
