Well, I guess I'll be one of several peeps not buying this game, since I'm still running XP and quite successfully. Maybe I'll grab up the old school Battlefield 1942 Collection with all the games in it and start playing that.

Maybe I've got incorrect information, but aren't the consoles (PS3 and XBOX360) running DX9?

Anyway, I'll keep plugging away at BFBC2 that I just bought.

Peace, Defender

Have fun once Microsoft drops all support for XP in 2014.

PS3 doesn't use DirectX at all. 360 uses a modified version of DirectX, but as DICE has stated, BF3 is built from the ground-up for PC and ported to consoles.

Windows 7 is sooooo nice though. Dumbed down in some places, but all around, it's pretty awesome.

Win 2000 made me goto OSX....

W7 made me leave OSX.

Just saying.

Since we get absolutely no new informations about the game these days, we'll do with what we get :

In the background, we can (barely) see the four concept arts of the maps featured in the back to Karkand expension (karkand, Oman, Sharqui and Wake).
Obviously, it's very unlikely that the concept arts will be any similar to their real counterparts (just take a look the Wake.... can you imagine 64 players on that whole map?).

Anyway, it's better than nothing... I guess :/

Damn their Persian is good. Fun fun can't wait.

Can't wait to lean to fly and drop bombs and run around with C4. Then maybe I can sink Wake Island. Hell look at sharqui it looks sick; I really hope they keep the havoc and its auto cannon, cause that map will be flat when our team is done with it.

PS: EA needs to keep all BF2 aircraft physics. That way us noobs still have a chance to learn and don't have to go thru another learning curve...
