Battlefield 3 PC Requirements Leaked

When you see a game like Battlefield 3 in action, you’re probably thinking it would take a monster PC to run it in all its glory. And yeah, you’re probably right but if you aren’t the son of a millionaire, it seems the game will run on older rigs just fine. According to Gameinformer, retailer Gamestop leaked the PC specs for DICE’s highly anticipated shooter this weekend but quickly took it down as well. Still they were snapped up and if true, seem pretty reasonable for such a game.
