The sad thing is that you'll have to turn all those amazing graphics down to zero for multiplayer... because you can't see shit through all those lightning/dust/smoke effects.

No, the sad thing is people like you do that.
People that turn settings down so they can't see smoke, dust and even high grass and bushes from a distance are just exploiting imo.
Don't play war sim's if you don't want to be in a war environment.
I remember people used to do that in old Rainbow Six games, turn water and grass off so they could see if someone was hiding in them, very cheap tactic.

I love all that dust, sunlight, debri and smoke. It makes the kills you get that much more satisfying.
You guys that turn it off must have some boring gaming experiences.
I'll have to wait till I get the game myself to see the graphics. Too hard to tell looking at YouTube videos.
I run Crysis & Crysis 2 on max/ultra, and let me tell you, that's going to be very hard to beat
Upgraded my rig last month because I knew this beast was gonna rick roll my old one (even though it was state of the art like 3 years ago).
Can't wait to sh*t my pants at the awesome details I see in the previews.
DICE, I salute you.
Looks good - It will steal me away from wow if it comes between large patches or an x-pack
BFBC2 pulled me away when wow was slow too haha
^^^ This
Crysis is an old game, yes it was ahead of its time but there are games with better gfx out now and Crysis 2 is not one of them. Crysis 2 is a pure console port, meaning it does not have dx11 and it's gfx are dumb down because it has to be able to run smoothly on a crapbox 360 and a PS3.
BF3 will be the new standard to beat.
If I'm in a BFBC2 game from the start of the round I will be in the top 3 easily and I don't play with my settings turned down so I can see through the INTENDED CONTENT.

The minimum specs for this game are hinting at the fact your aren't going to be able to turn a lot of this stuff off. So it's either your going to have a decent up-to-date computer (at least built within the last 1-2 years) or your going to be jumping everywhere and not know wth is going on.
Recommended system requirements for Battlefield 3
OS: Windows 7 64-bit
Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPU
RAM: 4GB
Graphics card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850
Graphics card memory: 1 GB
Hard drive: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version
And here I was going to make a thread asking what was so special about Battlefield over Call of Duty. I guess I have my answers.
Hope they do make it for console though, I don't have the money/space to invest in a real desktop (or the desk).
Be reasonable. You might be right, you could be wrong, but either way most people won't change their minds if you keep shouting at them.
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always want to be."
I have seen and played Crysis 2 on max settings, and it looks awesome, no doubt, but videos like this make me believe it's not gonna be a competitiion... but I'm sure you've seen it already.
On a side note, recently played BC2 on max settings on a 40 inch screen, and hell that already looked NEAT.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't BC2 the first of them to have destructible environment? (only talking PC games)
