    If you can run Metro 2033 maxed, then you can run this. I, when max out M2033, get 15 FPS ( lol ), with tesselation. But if I put Normal and tesselation, I get 30 FPS :)

    I didn't spend $50 on such a terrible game as MoH to get early BETA access, so to be honest, I don't really care.

    I can wait for the demo/release date just like I did for BF2 and then decide whether to buy it or not.

    No. But I'll let it slide this time (as M95 is scoped on the back of your skull).

    Sigh. The joke has lost its effect... :eek:

    You must not play Battlefield Bad Company 2. In the game loading screen with random sayings, they say "Obviously people that work here don't know what they're talking about".

    Referring to people here speculating...

    Lulz, got the joke :D I don't play BC2 for a looooooong time... Waiting for BF3 :D

    Off topic : How do you think my laptop would run BC2 at 1920x1080? What settings would I need to have at least 30 FPS? medium? I can run M2033 Normal seetins with tesselation with 30 FPS at 1080p, so I
    guess I could even mix med high settings? ( like Textures and objects = high, shadows medium, HBAO off, and effects medium )

    oh right! MOH runs on FB, right? So MoH = BC2 in terms of performance? If so, yay! I can run maxed :D ( except when I'm getting smoked hard :< )

    When there is no lag in Vietnam the hitboxes are ok, then again the weapons in Vietnam have no recoil and the NVA can use the M16 which is a total immersion killer.

    Looking forward to this!
    Of all the games I ever played BF2 was the only 1 which got me hooked for a long time.
    But I believe it is impossible for me to play without a upgraded gaming rig.

    Is this going to be on the frostbite engine? I might not get it if that's the case.

    DICE is probably one of the laziest game developing studios out there. Over the years they've only become worse, so I doubt it'll be a true sequel to Battlefield 2. I was really disappointed by their BF: BC Vietnam release and still feel ashamed for wasting nearly $16 on it.
