Vicky, Crysis 2 will be released DX9. The DX11 will be incorporated later through a patch and DX11 bolt-ons usually mean zero visual difference.

So your DX11 PC beast will be playing a DX9 console port from the very first day on Crysis 2.

Report: Crysis 2 To Ship Without DX11 Support, Coming In Post-Launch Patch

HEXUS.net - News :: NVIDIA excited about Crysis 2; demos it running smoothly on Alienware laptop

Since nVidia seem to be the most excited about a watered - down version of C2, could the patch be delayed to new accelerator releases by team green.

Anyways this is irritating for PC gamers. Of course we will play it on Dx9, then play it again when the patch comes out.

Okay, the Fault Line series of videos are being played on PC at the highest settings in the pre-alpha BF3. And the PC's config is:

Intel i7 2600K
4GB DDR3 @ 1600MHz
A single GF GTX580

So, who has this kinda rig? Requiescat in Pace HD5850.

BF3's every bit is filled with ossumness. No other FPS can match it. 256 players would be toooooo much. 64 players is perfect for MP. I can't wait to watch some vids of D3.0! Darn!

well..that guy says its possible, technically.
May be he meant that the engine is capable of that kind of player count.

Its NOT in the game!...the dudes at dice have tried 128, and say that it wasnt good enough. So only 64 player multiplayer (PC :D )

Well still not sure about 256 players playing at once. Its a damn big count afterall.

MAG on PS3 was able to do it ;)

Bf3 has more gorgeous environments and there is much more to render here apart from characters than MAG.

64 IS A GREAT NUMBER for a game of this calibre. With that, you get realistic physics engine with full damage. You won't get these in mag. So with little to render (relatively) MAG easily accomodates 128 players without any slowdowns. But as vamsi said, its all because of the awesome cell broadband cpu and its spe's.
