@Gruff182: I always thought Battlefront rivaled Battlefield. Not quite as good, but very, very close.

Granted, the last entry in that series is very dated, but it beat anything BF could do on consoles at the time.

Man.. I really don't know about this site.. I think I'll go to class and maybe get this deal when I come back

@DefaultProphet said:

Battlefied runs better too.

I've heard many people say that. What's strange is it's never been true on my systems. I know that hardware can differ, but I always struggle to run BF3 at 60fps on good settings, but planetside 2 runs splendid on mostly high.

@believer258: Worth Every Kilobyte

@seannao: Dude, you've nailed it. Definitely miss the Squad commands from 2 and 2142. Didn't even get a chance to play those two games until after BC1, and even then I didn't play them much before BC2 ( I did play 1942, though). Even then, I feel like DICE has taken a step back on leadership abilities.

Hell, just giving PC players Squad voice chat would have been great :/

@The_Laughing_Man: I was looking at their site. As long as the one you buy has at least the 650m, you're golden.

@The_Laughing_Man: the 13 inch comes with an Intel 4000 series, so About the same as the OP (28fps in battle). The 15 inch comes with a 650m, but it's a 1gb version. Still good, though.

@The_Laughing_Man: Sounds good, happy gaming.

@The_Laughing_Man: You'll get better pings and more consistent connections with a wire. However, unless you're playing FPS (BF3) I wouldn't worry about. I had an Asus G73jh and played BF3 wirelessly on it without issue. Other than that? Get a mouse, and learn how to set your touchpad to disable itself when you've plugged in a mouse.

@The_Laughing_Man: Awesome

If you go to buy it when your taxes and it's out of stock/you can't find it, feel free to shoot me a PM.

@The_Laughing_Man: I would assume so. I'm having trouble tracking down benchmarks for GW2 for the 650m, but anything over 35fps is usually considered playable, so I bet it's more along the lines of 40-50fps except in big battles.

Just looked it up, it can max out Just Cause 2 with 50 fps. Here's a video of someone playing BF3 singleplayer on ultra. Average fps is 30 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6q-c-dFUZqE keep in mind that Multiplayer is much more demanding. Probably can run it on medium just fine, though.

@The_Laughing_Man: Some users are reporting using high settings with some ultra and getting "Playable" framerates. I don't have exact number because I'm on a desktop.

However, I can say that the 650m, while not the most powerful card, is the card that makes it into Entry-level Alienware computers, so it's fairly good.

@xyzygy: Ah. Wasn't sure if you had another reason. If that's the case, there isn't much else to recommend., Technically the 4000 will work for you, especially for games like Hotline Miami.
