              I don't believe anyone has shared this in here before. I don't know who sethonan is here in the forums, but I recall seeing crunch playing bf with him. He made a post on the battlelog forums that made me search for this, and I didn't know it. It's pretty damn good, do you think this is a feature DICE is saving for BF4? probably like the ground destruction xD

                DICE showed how Frostbite 2 could do this.

                It also irritates me that there are only 2 sucky night maps.

                  Always wished BF series would have a day night cycle. Or each map a day/night version.

                    Yeah, they did, but they haven't used it for anything, not even the singleplayer.

                        Played some DmC Devil May Cry today on the PC. Not bad. Camera is kind of crap but I like the style they went with. Only completed the first chapter so far though.

                            what are the laptop specs? I'm playing on an
                            WIndows 7 64 bits
                            4gb ddr2 ram
                            nvidia 130m gt 1gb (similar to the nvidia 9600 if I recall correctly)
                            dual core 2,66ghz

                            I have to play on all low 800x600 with tweaked settings to juice even more fps out of the game. I try to play only on <48 player servers, because if I play on others it's totally unplayable.
                            I can usually maintain an fps average of 30, going to 40~50 when in the main base(airports) when in dogfights, and going low as 10~20 during heavy firefights.
                            Sometimes when my pc really struggles I have to switch from 800x600 to 640x480, but that makes it really hard to tell player from tree or plane from pole when more than 20m away

                              AMD Vision A8 Quad @ 1.9ghz
                              HD7640g APU
                              8gb Ram

                              It ran quite well considering I don't even have dedicated graphics but it overheated critically. Unsure if I'm going to try again.

                                I picked up Resident Evil 4 and RE: Code Veronica from today's Xbox Live sale items. Already have these two on the GameCube and PS2, but this will ensure I don't have to find those consoles and connect them if I ever have the whim to play these. They also have RE6 for $20 there, today only.
