Anybody interested in Battlefield 3 Alpha trial for PC?

I got an e-mail to be part of the Alpha trial of BF3, but there is no way in hell my PC can handle it. If anybody is interested, just download the install from http://www.origin.com/download and pm for the "PC CODE".

I'm also posting the instructions as they were found on the BF3 Alpha site to help answer any question s that anybody interested in the deal may have:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DOWNLOADING AND PLAYING THE WINDOWS PC ALPHA

1. Download Origin.
   
2. Start Origin, and click on the "gear" icon on the main page directly to the left of your Origin name.
   
3. Select "Redeem Product Code."
   
4. Enter the 20 digit Code shown above, exactly as it appears, and hit continue.
   
5. Click on "My Games" in Origin, and download the client.
   
6. If the client doesn't appear right away, select the "gear" icon and select "Refresh My Games."
   
7. Download, then launch the game through either Origin or by going directly to Battlelog.
   

NOTE: If this is your first visit to the Battlelog, install the
prompted plug-in and restart the browser if instructed to do so. Once
the plugin is up to date, you will be ready to play the game.

Thank you for participating!

nice.

its a shame my PC probably wont be able to handle it
ive got the beta for the 360 to look forward too though

I wish my PC was good enough for it, I would be all over it.

OFF TOPIC: I'm loving you're avatar man. It's so wrong it's right. Offensive and tongue in cheek...

i feel bad having it as an avatar, but as long as you guys know its a joke its all good.

ill take it down if its too offensive

I think the offensiveness is it's charm, but that's just me.

Yeah I've got no problem with Adolf Grizzler. It's obviously just a satire and anyone who gets offended should probably remove the stick from you know where.

i love it to adli

HOLY FUCKING TAP-DANCING JESUS' SHIT!

Videos, ante. Gertrude NEEDS them! Picture, info, whatever!

I would kill just to give it a shot, but I can already see my PC handling it at the lowest settings with my Geforce 9800 GT.

Sadly there's an NDA on it so I can't post anything more than fleeting info.

I will say, though for anyone interested at all in getting it for PC that on max settings I was getting 40-45 FPS with my current setup.

Core i5 2.67 ghz processor
8 gigs of DDR3 RAM
GTX 285



On the lowest settings I was getting an easy 60 FPS with no hiccups and the game STILL looked fucking fantastic.

Awesome, the only thing I need to upgrade on my rig is the graphics cards

i7 3.19 Ghz processor

12 Gigs of DDR4 Ram

SLI Galaxy GTX460 (not top of the line but will get the job done)

I'll be waiting until probably 2012 to upgrade my cards but it'll be worth it in the end. Most likely there will be something more powerful than what is required to max out the graphics by the time I do upgrade.

Thats good to know.If it looks fantastic on the lowest settings it gives me good hopes about the xbox version

^exactly what I'm thinking. It's only going to look better than bc2 and I think bc2 looks pretty good.

Damn, then the specs will be actually lower than what I expected. Once the new CPUs and GPUs are out, I bet that the price for a rig to run it will be very accessible.

Quick question though, what resolution were you running it at?

And. can I have your babies?

1920 x 1080. So full 1080p and it ran smoothly.

And...... yes? Yes!

As someone who was worried about being able to get a computer to play this game, your specs info makes me very happy. Still gotta wait for them to release spec info though. I guess you never know since it's an alpha.

This only means that performance will improve as the game progresses, which means even less powerful rigs will be able to run it. DICE is really on to something with this Frostbite 2 engine.

The key to a successful PC game is also making it so that the majority of the consumers can still run it with moderate to semi mediocre systems and still remain competitive with the more hardcore gamers with the $1-3k rigs.

When you start delving into games like Crysis and the Witcher where only a small portion of the community can truly enjoy the game in all its glory you start running into trouble.

I used to play BF2 back in the day on near rock bottom settings because my PC was absolute crap, yet I still was able to remain competitive. DICE has always done pretty good on making sure the masses can still play their games on at least medium/low graphics.

I'm fortunate to have the disposable income to be able to dump on a rig, but I more than understand that not everyone can do that due to having a family or other more important priorities.

I'll probably get BF3 for both PC and 360, so I can't wait to join you all out on the front!

SEC FOR LIFE!!!!
