You are worried about your 9700 Pro? Come on!

The 9700 Pro is just amazing - it has to be the vid card with the longest viable lifespan since the advent of 3D acceleration. It was just SO far ahead of its time that by all appearances it will still be a perfectly respectable card, and faster than many mainstream, midrange cards two years after its introduction. What a brilliant card!

I can hang with all of that except the 2GHz CPU. I'm at 1533MHz.

Ah, well.

is this a stand alone game or do you need original BF1942 cd to play online?

Yeah, I would be running dual, but my motherboard messed up, so I'm down to one proc.

:disgust:

 

[LordJezo]

I wonder if it will be as bad as BF:1942..

Hopefully not as boring..

Blasphemy!!!!

I like playing BF1942 but I'm not real good at it, so I get creamed most of the time. Seems like everyone on the public servers knows it inside out, therefore they kick my butt.
I'll pick up Vietnam and stick with the newbie servers...

This isnt so much cause the 9700 was amazing, but because change has been sooooo slow since it came out.

I would disagree. The 9700 was a huge leap. Especially for AA and AF performance. It's not that often that you have a video card release that doubles or triples the performance of the previous generations.

Well, just to make you all jealous:

I bought Battlefield:Vietnam today!

We had an early release here in Brazil, since (apparently) all CDs are manufactured here.
Had hard lockups until I changed soundcards (from SB128 to C-Media onboard) and lowered video settings.

But the game looks great!

Yes, sir.

But it lacks the GUI vote implementation of BF42 1.6.
The M16 with scope is a killer sniper, I tell ya!

 

[cliftonite]

Will there be a new desert combat using these updated graphics?

 

[BD2003]

Im gonna get this game just for the soundtrack. I had my issues with BF1942, but if I can machine gun the VC from a chopper while Surfin Bird plays, Im sold. Get some!

And of course ride of the valkyries, war (what is it good for!?), and jefferson airplane is just the icing on the cake.

 

[Kaiser__Sose]

picked it up in Toronto last night as well... EB was selling it (march 13)
