Anyone see Battlefield 3 Alpha Trial - UNCRACKED. I guess there is not much to see if its uncracked right? Anyone know its details?

i though i would need to upgrade for this game. i guess im all good. Still kicking ass on 2142

What would have made you think you needed an upgrade then? I run a quad core Intel with 8GB of memory and SLI 8800GTS's and I can still run every single game that I've ever installed on 1920*1200 resolution with maximum graphics settings. All that said, I'm not even sure I need to upgrade. If your PC "blows that out of the water", I'm confident that you'll be fine for a few more years.

Battlefield 3 features over 80 vehicle specs

Customization, depth galore
What separates Battlefield from most shooters is its extensive mix and depth of vehicle play. With Battlefield 3, DICE is taking it further, offering more customization than before, and in more ways than one, increased depth.

Over 80 vehicle specializations will be available across all vehicles, including "armored transports, infantry fighting vehicles, main battle tanks, scout helicopters, attack helicopters, fighter jets, and attack jets." Each comes with a weapon slot, gadget slot, and upgrade slot. The Russian fighter jet, for example, can be fitted with anti-air missiles or laser-guided air to ground missiles (for tearing up tanks), and IR flares (for avoiding missiles) or the fire extinguisher.
A major change over previous Battlefield games is vehicle armor regen. Until a vehicle is brought down to a certain point, its armor can regenerate while not under fire, encouraging a balance between offensive and defensive play. When tank armor is low, it will be disabled, unable to move, and only engineers can save it. This means engineers will no longer have to chase a tank to repair it, though of course it's less likely they'll be able to in time, let alone make it out alive themselves, as the tank will be stationary and more susceptible to fire.

We're not entirely fond of regen as it somewhat discourages the need for engineers, but we'll reserve full judgment until beta. And while it may seem silly at first (being there's little basis in logic or realism for it), it is consistent with the equally silly but sensible in the context of a game infantry regen. Realism aside, it should make for more fluid vehicle gameplay, and require opposing engineers to coordinate to take a vehicle down for good.
