My Intel q8800 quad core processor @ 2.33GHz definately can't run it, the clocks are not enough for bf3, and since my mobo doesn't allow overclocking i'm going for almost whole new build.
Except on consoles you have like only 1/3 of the flags that the PC version/bf2 version has. Conquest Assault kinda works like Rush, but you capture flags and you can flank the enemy and capture a point behind them and other cool stuff like that.
Have you played conquest assault on karkand yet? The one where russians have all the flags in the beginning and US starts to capture them one by one. If you have, how is that compared to the original bf2 map? The same grenade spam fest?
