Sweet, my laptop can run this. Too bad I'm not buying anything that forces me to link a game to a stupid Origin account.
OS: Windows 7 64-Bit
Processor: i5 sandy bridge CPU
Memory: 12 GB
Hard Drive: 3+ TB
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560
I'm all set to go ;D even though i don't like war games that much i want to play it!

Though I meet the recommended specs, I still think my game may not run as smooth as I hope.
C2Q Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz
4GB DDR2 RAM
GTX 470 @ 800/1800 (1280MB RAM)
Bad Company 2 still doesn't run that great on my machine, and I think it's because it has poor coding for CPU utilization. When it was first released, it barely used 2 cores and used less than 50% of my GPU. But they eventually made it more efficient. I hope that BF3 doesn't suffer from this initial problem...

I can't believe my laptop is barely edging out my stationary. Guess I know where to start upgrading if I don't want to play a slideshow of mosaics.
They don't say the requirements to play it at max.
I'm in 20 years they might have a computer that can do such a thing.

"Fuck you." Uh, you first, dude. My trade requires me to move around a lot, so I chose a laptop instead of a desktop. You can learn to live with it.

Jesus. I think this is the first time in my life my PC's GPU has been inferior to the recommended specs. Granted my 1GB 460 should still run it gloriously.

do you whine when a game that has nothing to do with valve forces you to have a steam account/install steam? probably not,get off that annoying bus already.

dont be a douche because someone has a good job and can afford a nice laptop. its not like he was bragging. but i am :D I started building my desktop PC earlier this year for this season.
i5-2500K @ 4.5ghz
8gb 1600mhz DDR3 RAM
120g vertex 2 SSD
X2 AMD 6970 GPUs in crossfire with a combined 4gb video memory all under water in a dual loop WC system (one loop just for CPU and mobo, and one loop just for dual GPUs)
and everything is packed into a customized Corsair 800D tower
I am hoping that by the time skyrim comes out i will have my third 27in monitor for 3-way eyefinity

and by the way for the people that do not want to support origin, its real easy. Just dont buy anything from origin, buy BF3 from retail and never buy anything from the origin online store. sure you might have to isntall origin, but there are ways to make applications not automatically run, and having it on your computer is not really supporting it if you never give it any money.
@Humtuk: I think the part where EA is wanting to scan anyone who uses Origin computer makes people not even want it installed. I mean I downloaded a client to play a damn video game that I bought, the lest you could do is fucking ask lol. So here's hoping for a crack or a method to not allow Origin to even run with playing BF3. God EA sure has a way to make things a day 1 purchase to on the fence :(.
hum, i can run on medium if i want, just my processor is kinda low. but i'm gonna upgrade soon, so f yeah
@Spaz
i would image that there will be a way to block origin from collecting that data. if it collects the data from a certian ip address, you could just block that ip, i know that steam uses several different ip address when it is connected to your pc. dont know what they all do but i see them in peerblock. or you could configure your system to dual boot. two copies of windows on one pc, one copy is your regular build, and the other is just origin, bf3 and the drivers you need.

So you MUST have Windows Vista or 7? That's kinda suckish for some people. I know folks who still use XP
I keep thinking the videocards in the rec. req. seem strange. The 560 and 6950 are not comparable. Either they mean 560ti, or 6850. As in, a 560ti=6950, a 560=6850. Side note, graphics card naming standards are fucking retarded.
@Greenguy: Unfortunately XP doesn't support DX10 which is the minimum DX requirements.
@Humtuk: That's actually a good idea lol. Now why haven't I thought of this?
@Humtuk: That's actually a good idea lol. Now why haven't I thought of this?
Lol at setting up a dual boot specifically to play BF3, good idea I guess for those who are so worried about such things but I would love to hear of someone actually.doing this.
@quantum: I'm more referring to blocking the IP address Origin uses. No way in hell would I duel boot my pc just to play a damn game.
Athlon X2 2.8 GHz here... yeah just barely pass requirements! :D But I agree with pedro, down with origin. I'll buy this if it ends up on sale for $10 within 10 months after release though.
@Cosmic bacon
Who said I was ever a fan of Steam? Steam is DRM just like everything else -- Worse than other forms, if you want to really look at it.
There's an old saying about assuming. Perhaps you should look it up.

That's a spicy meatball! my desktop should be fine, too bad my laptop only has 256mb of VRAM or it would be set to go, this should be interesting!
Windows 7 64-bit
AMD Vision A8 @ 1.5Ghz
6Gb RAM
AMD HD 6620G (Apparently equivalent to an AMD 5650?)
I think I'll download the beta and test it before I commit to the 360 version, just in case.

my 6970 should be fine
here is a link that may help some of you

should be better since that was alpha

Thanks for the link. Looks like my GTX 470 still holds out just fine. Though I still think my Q6600 is going to be the bottleneck for my entire system. Wish I had the money to upgrade to an i7...
Sweet! I have exactly the recommended requirements!
But honestly, I'm not terribly interested in the game. If there's a demo I'll check it out just to see how it runs, but that's about it...

6990 is on the list look lower... they drop'd it a lil cuz it has a lower minimum fps(47)... the drivers used were 11.6 or earlier so it should have gone up if not better than 580
@Evergreen
Well, there's the beta, so that should give you a good idea. I hope there's an actual demo, too, though.

Battlefield 3 requirements:
A computer
A Table
Some snacks
A Chair
A distane for the Call of Duty series based on its popularity
Some rope
A person you met online while bitching about COD who you made friends with on this sole connection
A sturdy roof beam
An internet connection that is stable but not quite fast enough not to bomb the entire server for everyone else
Tie the rope to the beam
A growing sense of self loathing as you begin to realise that the battlefield series is much harder than you anticipated
Stand on the chair
A realisation that although Call of Duty represents a mainstream meritocracy you despise, in truth you miss your real friends and feel cut off from them having openly bitched about Call of Duty so vehemently you now can't go back
Kick the chair away
Slip into blackness as the pain of having realised caring too much about video games has destroyed your social life and those closest to you, making your wife divorce you due to an unhealthy obsession and destroying any connection to reality that could have saved you

Do you have a AM3 board? If so, I would wait for Zambezi/Bulldozer, it's supposed to come out this month.
