Battlefield Tri-hard

Yeah, for some strange reason I can play BC2 completely maxed out with one, but STALKER is always chugging.

BC2 is more dependent on the CPU than the GPU. At least that's what I've found from using it on four completely different computers.

Crysis still chugs, too. I could play BC2 and Call of Pripyat maxed except AA at 1280x1024 on my single 5770 and Phenom II X4 when I had them, but you throw in AA and it goes straight to hell, more so for the latter game.

bc2 slows for me and CoP doesn't. go figure.

I WANT THIS GAME!!!!

Question on the beta for this: how do you get it? (I know it isn't released yet, but when it IS released...)
Steams says... "Owners of Medal of Honor will also receive an invitation to the beta for another highly-anticipated EA shooter, Battlefield 3."
But Wikipedia/other sources say that only Limited Edition owners get an invite to the BF3 Beta.
Clarification, anyone?

I think its the LE
Which I got free

It's the Limited Edition.

And the only thing that sets it apart from the regular editions is the pre-order. There is no longer any way to acquire the Limited Edition of the game as an original. Unless somebody give you their invite.

DICE has too much riding on this game. They know they can't depend on a bunch of people who bought the run and gun MoH to properly test the beta(not to say there aren't good BF players playing MoH). It would be ridiculous if they don't have a public beta. Even if it starts off as private, it will become public.

I don't know. There wasn't a beta for Bad Company 2 if I recall, and neither was there one for Battlefield 2.

There most definitely was a huge open beta for BC2. Pyong had it first. I grabbed three keys from i3D.net and managed to sell two of them for $10. There is a demand haha. Basically DICE started giving keys to major sites by the thousands in February 2010. No idea how you didn't know. It was in the BC2 thread that we had back then, I think.

And there is a multiplayer demo for both BF2 and BF2142, which is better than a MP beta.
