Hey, since bf2142 is running on the same engine that is behind bf2, will system specs have to be upped a little. Right now, for bf2, I'm in the "midrange" of technology. I have a radeon 9800 XTX 256 MB AGP card, and I have a 50/50 chance of upgrading it to a Radeon X1300/1600 XTX 512 MB AGP card. I can run BF 2 on all med settings, but I have to have a desk fan pointed at my comp.

"if you can run bf2, you can run bf2142"

Thats been DICE's motto on the subject.

But will the graphics be worse or the same on your own spec?

iF YOU CAN ALL MEDIUM NOW THEN EXPECT TO HAVE TO LOWER A FEW SETTINGS.

With weather effects and the titan mode having most fighting concentrating in 1 area it will be harder to run all high;)

Yurp menace said it right.

they have improved a lot of the explosoions so thats going to draw more frames plus all the CQC is going to make it so you need a good pc to run effects on high.

So I would say that for titan when your fighting inside you are gonn have to lower your settings from medium to high.

Or get a job ad a new pc lol. I am building a new pc mainly for this game so I can run it on high and so I can run Crysis on high when it comes out lol :D

I am going to ahve to buy new graphic cards next year but O well Ill have the money by then.

All though I might just get a new AM2 socket mother board iono......

LOL @ kissmyRICE with the desk fan.... I thought I was the only one! I have an AMD 3500 & 6600GT and my case has 5 fans in it... still too hot in the summer weather. So I popped of the side of the case and inserted a desk fan into the guts. I run on all MED settings and still generate about 105 degrees- My next plan was to put the whole case in a dorm fridge!

Same, I already got half the stuff and not enough money to buy all new stuff anyway even if I did return the old socket 939 stuff so I am just going to finish this build as planed and next summer get A new fully DX10 compatible card (was going tog et SLI's but now that I am getting the new mobo and ram prolly noy) the new mobo and new ram.

DAMIT...I forgot about Direct X 10...do u think that the X1000's will be compatable with DX 10? I'd hate to have to buy a new card when I just got this one...I hate this....my budget is tight u c? I wanna buy Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Dawn of War: Winter Assault, BF2142 which is about $100..I'm saving up for the PS3 BTW...a new graphics card will be taxing on my limited funds.:D I just turned 14 here...and I have yet to get a working permit from a teacher...minimum wage just doesn't do it for me...anyone know the chinese to USA exahcnage rate? anyone? I have 2k yen.

As far as I know you will not be able to buy a fully compatable dx10 card untill dx10 is relased which sucks seeings how the gfx card I am getting for this build owns but now I dont care cause next summer i am getting a new mobo, gpu, cpr, and ram.
