I pilfered a 5700 videocard and I got it running. Unfortunatly, it only really is playable on medium settings with this card. I was very dissapointed with the graphics, it kind of still looks and feels like bf42 IMHO. The models are definatly better, but the over all textures look blah. It really feels like a ripoff of the Desert Combat mod. I hope you guys with better cards are seeing a difference.
I'm hoping it all just because it my cheap low end videocard. I was really excited when it wouldn't run on my ti4600, because it kind of signaled that games were finally progressing further into the technology range. Its about time they started requiring more memory and resources, but for all its damands it dissapointing.
Hopefully when the full version comes out it will look better. I'm still going to pick up the retail version, I need a new team shooter. HL2 failed miserably on producing quality MP mods, by time the better mods come out the game will be severely aged. So I guess BF2 it is for me.
