It will give the game better longevity.

Of course, what is of upmost importance is: can you play the game on a cheap machine at 45-60 FPS at settings that make it look pretty?
If the game looks good on medium settings, does it really matter if it doesn't say "maxed settings" in the options menu?
Nobody on TPU wants to play any game on "medium" settings. If thats all we wanted we would be console sheep.

No. TPU members like to go balls deep or go home. Medium graphic settings is for pussies. Why do you think we all overclock? For medium settings? Hell no! I want me eyes to contract diabetes from all the eye candy!

I guess I'm not on TPU then

I just want to play the games and I want them to look good. Everything else is just e-peening

PS Of course I overclock my hardware - it allows me to play the games I play at better performance while still looking good

Looking good to me. I'm hungry for some airplane gameplay, though.

And in case you wanted to know what sort of machine could run that at 5~10 FPS:

2x 80GB Intel X-25 SSD on an Areca RAID controller.
1x GTX460, little bit clocked.

Battlefield 3 Out of Steam

Quote:
Retailer suggests that EA's shooter might not appear on Steam.
UK, July 18, 2011
by Jamie Feltham

EA's hotly-anticipated Battlefield 3 may not come to Steam when it's released later in the year, US retail giant GameStop has suggested.

Financial research firm Baird stated as much following a meeting with GameStops' management team, saying that the "upcoming EA title Battlefield 3 will be sold as a download through GameStop, but not through Steam."

It was confirmed to Develop that this news comes directly from company executives. The DICE shooter will come to other digital download services, however.

The Baird report continues: "Given Steam's dominance – and insistence on users downloading a Steam client application – publishers are likely to be receptive to a competitive alternative,"

EA recently launched Origin, a digital download service set to rival Valve's. And last month saw the EA-published Crysis 2 removed from Steam after a DLC exclusivity deal was signed with another service. EA claimed no responsibility for the removal or the deal.

It may well be missing out on Steam, but we're still looking forward to Battlefield 3's launch on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC on October 25 in the US, and three days later in Europe.

I have a problem with this thought, and many people seem to share it.

E-Peen is a sort of comparing yourself to others, that's not what this is
about. i don't need to know and i don't care what other people's settings
are. I don't want the best to beat anyone else, i just simply want the
best, and i don't see where e-peen comes into that.

Screens look just like BC2. Same annoying looking glow effect. How surprised I am not....
I don't really get this why can't you turn it off. Sure it looks fun on single player but this really hurts your eyes after a few hours.

I gotta agree, I hope they don't have the excessive bloom effects like they did in BFBC2. Although there was an advanced configuration tool released on the net to remove it and it is doable manually also.

Look at the other screens, I don't see that at all. Only maps I notice that on in BC2 are desert maps like Atcama.

The game will look good even on consoles, but the PC version will look a tonne better in DX11, high-res textures and AA/AF cranked! And it won't be locked at 30 FPS!
I disagree.

Why state that those who have PC's that are only capable of playing the game on medium should only buy the Console version?, considering not everyone has money to spend like you do.

Plus im pretty positive BF3 will look great on Medium and it'll still look better then the Console version.
