Since the release of the trailer, it's quite obvious that the DICE are not trying to copy Team Fortress 2. It looks like a Battlefield game!

I'm going to be playing it. How about you?

maybe, not really a big fan of the battlefield series being honest. Like ive said before i never buy a game unless ive played it first, so this game would have to really impress me to be bought and ultimately played above TF2 and css (and maybe COD4 soon as well..)

No need to buy it's supposed to be free isn't it?

At least thats what i've heard

That's right!


Watch this video on Youtube.

i think i ll pass....EA......free....alarm bells are certainly ringing from where im sitting.

I'll be getting it, it's free! It's paid for by ingame ads (on the menu screen) and microtransactions (buy new clothes). So nothing obtrusive to gameplay, or necessary payments.

Might be a clan game, seeing as it's free, though it depends if the matchmaking is avoidable.

I knew there was a reason it was free. I'm sure if people find problems with the multiplayer they may adjust it in updates.

For a free game Wynney you should give it a chance when it is released

Being EA I doubt we'll see the huge updates that Valve do, but I'm sure they'll patch it to a mostly playable state.

Well Valve live to keep their games running and players coming back. Ea get bored after a while and release several sequels and spin-offs.

Valve are the only company I know with long term dedication, the rest just release a few patches and get on with the next game. I don't know how much effort EA will put into keeping this game popular, unlike other games they make, this one requires people to log in to make money.

Ahh so it'd be worth their time investing in it unless it fails. So if it does take off nicely we can expect slightly more updates than normal from EA.

I would guess they'd want to keep it running, yes.

Anyway, from that video it does look like a lot of fun. Quite different to normal Battlefield, but still the same. Kinda crazy, and not as much of a TF2 ripoff as first thought.

Re-watching the trailer i assume aircraft will be in it. More so sitting on the wings of said aircraft? i suppose only in a cartoon that could happen.

What are the min specs? Similar to TF2? because it looks like that style of play/graphics to me O.o

Has it been released yet? the specs i mean i don't think so.

Well as you can see above, those are the specs as they stand right now...

Aaron just posted them, and they look like pretty pleasent specs. Should be widely accessible, which makes it even better for a clan type game.

ZOMG 1gb?!

Otherwise I can run it quite safely... Which is a very strange proposition for me XD

Looks good, shame i posted seconds after Aaron.

Only 1GB on Vista, 512MB for XP. It looks pretty similar to HL2 kinda specs (actually slightly less in some places) so you should be able to run it fine. Considering it won't be released until Summer (I guess) you should be getting your new comp somewhere around then (I think) which will be able to run it great, by those min specs.

I want a beta key.



And I won't have a PC until the end of the year. It's going to be a good one though!

When are the BETA keys out?

How would one obtain a beta key?

Wait i'm guessing it's closed beta at the moment? or not even there yet.

I think there are some closed beta keys in the next Total Gamer magazine or something like that?

Edit: This conversation is going so fast!
