The aim here is to give you enough information so that you can make an informed choice as to the settings you enable or disable to obtain the precise balance of visual quality and performance which is acceptable to you. Performance information is also provided for every setting, although bear in mind that the precise impact on your particular system depends on your specific hardware combination and your other game and system-wide settings. What follows are full descriptions for BFBC2's in-game settings, including screenshot comparisons to highlight the impact on image quality of changing the various settings. Still, there's plenty of scope to have the game both looking good and running smoothly if you know what you're doing - and that's precisely what this guide is all about. This shouldn't come as a surprise given BFBC2 is just about the finest looking first person shooter out today. For those wanting to ramp up the graphics and still keep relatively smooth framerates the official recommended specs are a quad core CPU and a GeForce GTX 260 or better. However the requirements for running BFBC2 with decent eye-candy are actually fairly hefty.




The combination of immersive graphics and sound with comprehensive large-scale first person multiplayer action is hard to resist for any gamer. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (BFBC2) is the successor to the wildly successful Battlefield 2, using the same popular formula with a range of enhancements to create yet another hit for EA/DICE.
