i have a 9800gt as well.. running on quad core..
whatever, if i can run crysis on high settings, this game should be fine on my comp
and the player cap on BC2 is only 32 players.. IMO i think its a decent number cap, BF2 was too chaotic for me anyways... .
i used to do that as a defender on the first BC, id plant C4s on the crates and walk out of the building, watch anyone who walks in to try to detonate and then blow the shit out of the building..
