Battlefield 3 PC System Requirements Leaked

Battlefield 3 just saw its PC system requirements leaked by retailer GameStop, which posted them on its online listing for the game's PC version, but quickly took it down.

Battlefield 3 is set to push the first-person shooter genre forward through the use of its innovative Frostbite 2 engine, allowing for larger levels to be rendered in a very detailed way, enhanced animations and an even more polished destruction-based gameplay.

Since its announcement, we've heard a lot of things about Battlefield 3, especially the PC version, which is set to really showcase what the Frostbite 2 engine can do.

As you can imagine, many gamers have started wondering just what sort of requirements they need to meet in order to run Battlefield 3 when it is finally out.

Neither DICE, its developer, nor Electronic Arts, its publisher, said anything about the system specifications, but GameStop has apparently leaked the requirements through its website, but quickly took them down.

Luckily, Gamerzines managed to snatch them up, and you can see the leaked Battlefield 3 PC system requirements below.

Minimum requirements

Hard Drive Space: 15 GB for disc version or 10 GB for digital version OS: Windows 7 64-bit Processor: Quad-core Intel or AMD CPURAM 4GB Video Card: DirectX 11 Nvidia or AMD ATI card, GeForce GTX 460, Radeon Radeon HD 6850 The PC requirements for Battlefield 3 aren't that high, so it seems that quite a lot of PC gamers are going to be able to experience the new first-person shooter from DICE on October 26, when it is out for the aforementioned PC, as well as for consoles like the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360.

Expect EA or DICE to reveal an official statement about these requirements soon.
