They say a picture paints a thousand words, so here is one from the Single player of BC2

And for MP that will be a small part of the map!

(Now I'm not saying either is better, I just thought this was a great way of showing the more open, less on rails nature of Battlefield).

Enjoy

Keep in mind that this is taken from the 360 version. And it looks stunning. I can't wait for the high-end PC videos/screenshots. I'm hoping that I will be able to get at least 360 graphics out of the engine with my 3870 512MB and the crappy 3800+ CPU.
Not going to even touch on the map design, that's obvious for anyone.

In the PC version the draw distance should be a lot better this is obviously a console screen shot. If you notice the trees just stop pass a certain distance. The mountain is nothing nothing but texture. I know in the demos for Cry engine 2 the 360 and ps3 versions have really low draw distances as well but then in the PC version it's almost unlimited.

That map kind of reminds me of Crysis tbh. Anyone else feel that?

If "Better than Crysis" counts, then I'm in.

I thought it looks a bit like crysis too, crysis was ahead of its time and thats how it ran on most pc's, too slow.

I hope that it will run on my dual core with 2.1ghz and 3850 with512megs
that sould be the minimum from what I read

My dual core is running it just fine and I must say the graphics are stunning. In fact, in the SP I find myself often not shooting at all but rather looking around at the scenery. Stunning. Then blow it up

haha i even do that in MP
