1240398 2011-10-28 07:29:00 LOL - my son went and bought this today . Got it home and now tells me I need to upgrade the PC!!! ****!

It's a Dual Core 2 . 5 with 2GB RAM and an nVidia GeForce 8400GS video card running Win7 Home Premium 32bit .

More than meets the 'minimum' requirements, but I see the 'recommended' requirements are Windows 7 64-Bit, Quad-Core CPU, 4 GB RAM and either NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 560 or ATI RADEON 6950 .

I have to admit I have no idea where the 8400GS card sits in relation to the GTX 650 . . . .

But I'm buggered if I'm going to upgrade a perfectly good PC!

1240399 2011-10-28 08:07:00 The only weakness on mine is the video card, so the game defaulted to some low settings at a high-res (1920x1080) still looks stunning and is getting over 60fps as the screen is tearing. Have now locked in the v-sync.

I'm thinking I might set it to display on the 55" lcd in the lounge and retire to the big chair with the wireless kb and mouse.......Should be good.

Order a new vid card tomorrow.

1240402 2011-10-28 10:33:00 The GTX560 is roughly 800-2000% faster than the 8400GS Netsukeninja (13296)

Yeah, as a new player you will get your butt whooped big time. But persevere a bit more. You'll get there. Also want to PM me your Origin ID? Mines my name in capital letters.

1240404 2011-10-28 19:52:00 My death/kill ratio is shameful, Granted I haven't really played a FPS since....BF2.

Last night I kept getting stuck on the attacking side of rush maps, That's just lambs to the slaughter.

I made the mistake of bringing it to the attention of the trademe gamers forum.

It bothers me that people can be so stupid.
