they have all but made it clear that this game will be DirectX 10 and up, and will not have a compatibility mode for DirectX9 like Bad Company 2 had, so at the bare minimum to be even ABLE to play BF3 I will have to buy a whole new motherboard ram and processor, and then my video card will be the bottleneck, for an experience under 20 frames per second, that I had to spend over $500 just to get in the door to play, or I can go buy modern warfare 3 for $60 and it will run fine on my existing system... what do you think Im going to do?
Dual Core E2160 overlocked to 2.31ghz
2GB DDR2-666 ram
Intel 945GC chipset, PCI-e 1.1 motherboard (Asus P5GC-MX1333)
EVGA nVidia GTS 250 1GB
over 1TB of storage
Wireless Internet ~100ms pings 100kb/sec transfer rate
and this PC suffers on Bad Company 2 around 50fps with everything on low, so BF3 would make it walk down to the basement, string up some extension cord, and hang itself.
Everything on my laptop could run this but the video card Laptops really have to come with better video cards.
I think nVidia GT 440 should be fine.
Integrated graphics are terrible.
Integrated Intel graphics are worse.
The integrated graphics card on my i7 2600k runs crysis 2 at high settings, near maxed.
Doesn't just run it, but it plays it very well ^^
Going to get a graphics card for Battlefield 3 of course, probably a Radeon HD 6xxx or a Gtx 560/ti

This wasn't confirmed.
@Fogest Of course it is.
Intel core i7 2600k, Intel HD Graphics Family Integrated graphics.
The second generation integrated graphics for these processors are really good.
Currently playing Crysis 2 on high, near max settings. As well as Brink on high settings
The old intel graphics may be bad but the latest ones on the i5 and i7 processors are quite good.

I have i5 and its not good. Thats on a laptop or what?
Because I play counter strike with my laptop and since it's processor and gfx card are together it heats up really fast and is in the 80degree temperature Celsius. If I play to long it just turns right off so it doesn't ruin the parts due to heat lol.
Custom built rig is what I have, just built it the other day.
Motherboard: P8Z68-V Pro
CPU: Intel core i7 2600k
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB memory
Power Supply: 850w
Graphics: Intel HD Graphics Family(Intel HD3000)
May be since my motherboard is very good, and I have 8Gigs RAM.
If you look on youtube there's plenty of videos on people playing Crysis 2 and other high quality games with i7 and i5 integrated graphics.
