Jailbreak was great because of jails. And the buttons that let you out. Oh, and Jail Game!

Kidding about the last one.

That said, you’ve sold me Zera. I’ll pick it up.

When I say air maps, I mean the big maps. Glad the four new maps are ALL big maps, with Sharqi and Karkand probably closer to the size of Canals, or a “medium” map size.

Caspian Border is cool, but for it’s size, at least on the PS3 the games usually end fairly quick. I really dig Kharg Island, Operation Firestorm and Damavand Peak, but Seine Crossing and OP Metro are kinda whack on Conquest, but that’s just me, but damn I am looking forward to some Wake Island action. I agree with Zera, addiction at its finest :wacko:

Boy, I have to say, I think playing this game on consoles would be like going to the Super Bowl, but then watching the game from your hotel.

Never before has the foliage, constantly changing damaged buildings, and sheer monstrous map size required more visual detail.

I am actually going to buy a 30" monitor for this reason. 2560 x 1600 is 4.1 Megapixel. 720p TV? 9 tenths of a megapixel.

You don’t need a super powerful PC to play this at super high res. Remember, modern $200 video cards are 23 times as powerful as the PS3. So a $350 computer (16GBs ram is $59 on newegg) with $150 video card and the best monitor you can afford is all you need.

My $90 (from 2 years ago) Quad 2.6 processor doesn’t even hit 60% utilization at 1920 x 1440  
My $120 (1 year old) GTS450 gets a consistent 50+ FPS, sometimes dipping to 35 if I’m right next to something burning and a full screen of smoke.

Remember, this game was designed to be playable with the lowest settings and lowest resolution on wimpy little consoles from 5 years ago, so playing at monstrous resolutions mean I can see players clearly 4 times further away than the console videos I’ve watched on youtube, which I’ve watched to see footage of the new Wake Island.

If your time is worth more than $10 an hour, then don’t waste your time playing on a console.

Not to mention the biggest reason not to play any FPS on consoles:

The Controller
