It appears the new Frostbite 2.0 engine will be DirectX 10
and 11 exclusive, meaning no DX9 or Windows XP support. A DICE
developer Johan Andersson has tweeted:
\'Frostbite 2 is primarily developed for DX11. XP & DX9 is _not_

havent!\' Oh well. Windows XP is almost ten ye

Let's hope Punkbuster upgrades their software because they not support 64-bit executables. In Crysis Wars I'm forced to use the 32-bit exe because I can't play in servers with PB on with the 64-bit one. |

| About time if you ask me, anyone running XP still doesn't deserve to play Modern games, I skipped Vista and jumped on 7 when it came out 64bit at that. If only Microsoft would grab there balls and bomb off 32bit OS's the world will be a better place. |

 keep your dumb ass opinions to yourself braindead doofas. Also what is the conspiracy theory any particular one? or are you just trying to label everything as such to suit your argument in ignorant stupidity and indoctrinated beliefs? Dumb people like you can't really separate the between difference documented fact and lamestream media half truths and pure deceiving lies.
"If only Microsoft would grab there balls and bomb off 32bit OS's the world will be a better place."
Would be even better if they could actually pull their finger out and deliver an OS that wasn't so such a broken stink bomb of piss poor noob shit design. Then maybe it would give reason for people to actually find value in upgrading, instead of just being forced (one way or another ignorance mainly) because of it suits the money grabbing scumbaggery corporate tactics in marketing to stupid people and businesses.
For me I'm loathed to use win7 I have it on VM for testing, but rarely ever any reason to use it, such as testing explorer shell extensions to see if there is any third party hope for the junk OS etc. Maybe if BF3 doesn't turn out to be crap I might install the win7 64 on a separate hdd, but really is no point, the Winshi7e OS was designed for noobs and those who can't tell the difference between intuitive and functional workflow design, its a shoddy experience. Maybe Win8 will come out and not be so fucking shit (I have even more doubts on that nowadays), then I can skip Vis7a. For me XPsp3 with 3.24gb and large ramdisk to make use of the rest of the ram is a much better professional experience for practically everything I do including gaming. Not even missing out on browser GPU acceleration  lol... stupid Microscum bums |

XP is n00b shit. Only a lazy fat bitch with a chip on his shoulder with a big mouth can complain about it. 3 things important to me over XP and I think to any PC gamer.
1. I prefer support for my 16GB ram and QUAD core. .
2. I prefer to use my DX10 card. So why not an OS that supports DX9 and 10?
3. I don't work at 32bit, I prefer 64bit and I'm not talking lame XP 64bit.
XP 'was' a great OS and I'm glad future game support for it is declining. |

Professional experience...Jesus Christ, your reply clearly shows that you're a fucking amateur.
You ask a dude to keep his dumbass opinion to himself, only to bring your own to the table.
All your Microshit... Microscumbags... MicroDespiteMyStrongOpinionsIStillUseTheirSoftwareAndMakeMyselfLookLikeAnEvenBiggerSociallyIneptDumbass.
I wonder why you're always so eager to tell everybody how much Microsoft sucks, how shitty and unintuitive windows 7 is, how it caters to noobs and morons, when you're against posting dumbass opinions?
If you wanna stay with a 10 year old Toys'R Us looking OS, fine, you do that.
I don't think anyone really gives a fuck what you run as an OS.
But don't blame everybody else for moving on and not living in the past.
You should consider getting some pussy, i'm sure that it would put a smile on your face, and some happy thoughts in that little fucked up head of yours. |

"If you wanna stay with a 10 year old Toys'R Us looking OS, fine, you do that. "
Hey dumb ass, the custom visual style I use looks vastly better than any failAero shi7e style ever made for win7.. and you still can't get around the piss poor explorer layout and limitations.
3year old desktop screenshot, not even the depicting the improved explorer shell and customizations made later.
Let me laugh at your shitty Win7 OS all day long, I could rip it apart on so many areas its not even funny. You seriously don't think I have good enough reasons to not join you fanboys in using it? lol
"your reply clearly shows that you're a fucking amateur. "
No I can see you're the fucking amateur actually
"1. I prefer support for my 16GB ram and QUAD core. . "
If that is the case and you need access to 16gb of ram then fine (personally I think you're lying to make a point, because its about all you got in your weak argument, most people don't even need half that unless they are rendering dealing with high resolution video/image data etc), ..only 6gb with a 4ghz oc i5 hardware here, I see no reasons to use 64bit Winshi7e for the vast majority of time, as /3gb of accessible memory is plenty for most apps including productive apps, while the rest is put to use as a ramdisk. No need to bother using dumb handicap OS for spastics who need oversized icons and pseudo false security along with crap slowflow ui/ux, when I can use Xpsp3 and not only have a far better more functional explorer shell and extensions etc nothing I'm missing out on from win7, especially not lack of performance and customized shit. Just look at the shit design for win7 and the rest of stupid ass crap that wasn't improved... its a junk infested heap of crap for retarded fanboy noobs like you Cockle/Tom to try and pathetically defend.
I'll use 64bit/Dx11 as and when its needed that isn't a problem for me, but don't expect me to turn a blind eye to the stinking Win7 design just because retards fanboy I have fallen for it and don't see the flaws. What is so funny about you noobs is that you really have nothing to point out that is makes Win7 better I know all the pro/con arguments for it, but hey you just keep falling back on 64bitness, directx .. maybe when you can attempt some other argument of pointing out a feature I'm missing or something  and lol good luck with that. Might aswel wait to see a third party app to take care of bridging the shit and getting the right improvements made.
"You should consider getting some pussy, i'm sure that it would put a smile on your face, and some happy thoughts in that little fucked up head of yours."
...says the guy who obviously got so butt hurt he obviously ain't getting any. .....also corrected your ramblings...

| i hope, one day, we will all gladly use another worthy os, where we all agree about its greatness, and we won't see Microsoft fanboys fighting each other over which M$ version they prefer. You're all eating from the same cake, so just STFU. |
