That's not driver related issues. That's shitty coding.
And saying they aren't building it with any system requirements in mind also means that they don't give a crap about gamers that can't afford high end rigs. but in the same breath they say it'll be able to run on medium and low end systems..lol..Do they even think before they speak?

I'm guessing though that they had the settings at Gamescom at absolute max, and those machines were probably being played on non-stop from open to close. Still two months to go though, so hopefully they'll get all the glitches and bugs worked out before then.

i'll take this with a pinch of salt

no offence, but your word is just as good as the dude that says otherwise....i really dont think you can outright say "shitty coding"

It is after all an alpha build, keep that in mind.

1st off mate, Games do not kill hardware...Especially in the large numbers they are talking about here.
So they either let the rigs over heat or the rigs were built like a pigs ass.
Yeah shitty coding is correct as you stated its only a alpha build. Also they say that it'll run on low and medium spec rigs but then they pull a stunt like this, saying how it killed 12-14 high end rigs..lol..

Looking into it more, this looks to be just a ploy, because I already know the bf fanboy's are thinking..wow the graphics are so intense they kill high end rigs.

I'll leave my judgement for the final product..as im still really excited to see how this runs on either of my rigs.

I Agree 100% !

its ok, my XT machine, is quite cabable, otherwise I will port it to my i386 with Voodoo 1 screen card...

Also looks like they spent a lot of time on the planes, hellies, tanks, and other vehicles.

[Isengard]

Well, they have nearly 2 months for code and graphic optimisation. Here's to hoping my PC will still be up to scratch.

[Imber]

Sounds like Crysis hype.

How can a game "Fry" a PC unless they pump maximum graphics and stick the PC in a box in a corner without proper cooling...
