I guarantee you that if you meet those requirements and you learn how to play you wont be able to stop. Also remember that it not just about points, if you want to fly in a helicopter ferrying people back and forth do it, if you want to snipe and kill someone every hour then do it. there is no more enjoyable game than battlefield.
also battlefield is a game where online play has practically no lag at all, so if you see lag it 90% of the time it is you and 10% the server. for people that always experience lag and have a high speed connection, fast computer with no backround programs, try to find a better online server. filter your servers to display only EA server's which are the fastest and try one of those rooms. if all else fails, reformat your computer, reinstall your OS, download all the patches, install only neccasary programs and of course battlefield then run it. it will fly fast, youd all be surprised how a monthly or bimonthly reformat of your computer will do wonders for your speed, also it will keep your HD living longer and running faster. if your computer seem's sluggish, reformat immediatly. once it starts to slow it's like holding a damn together with your hands, it will just keep getting slower. you'll be amazed when you reformat you'll think you bought a new computer.
give battlefield a chance, there is a reason why it is one of the most popular games of all time on any platform.
good luck,

First I would like to thank those who write helpful comments and secondly I would like to recommend PC game reviewers to list their system's stats so your comments can be evaluated accordingly. That being said, I was very concerned about being able to run this game after reading some reviews, since I had pre-ordered it through Amazon thinking that if BF42 works this will work as well. I loaded it up last night and spent about 4 hours playing it on three different servers. Two of the servers were almost lag free and my fears were alleviated. When the game loaded it left the video settings at low, but the graphics are still beautiful and better than BF-42. I played on some maps with significant foilage and detail and my moderate computer chugged along fine. Maps loaded in less than a minute. (Note, the more memory you have the quicker maps will load.) Thus even if you only have a 1.2 GHZ processer but a recent graphics card and a good chunk of memory you can play this game fine. When upgrading it is always best (and cheaper) to start with the memory, followed by the video card if you don't get the performance leap you need. One annoyance I found was a possible audio bug- while I could hear my weapons fire fine, it seemed as though the weapons fire of enemies was very faint or non-existent at times, but tell tale because of visible tracer fire. This will likely be addressed by a patch if it is an actual bug. However, it didn't help when I first started playing and found myself being killed when it looked like no one was around. It didn't take long to realize that the dense foilage and grass in this game makes hiding and crawling much more useful than in BF42. If you had difficulty flying a plane with deadly accuracy in BF42 (even using a joystick) your hopes of being able to easily master a helicopter will probably be dashed. At least they are easier to blow out of the sky and the foilage makes getting killed from above, only after you have spent two minutes walking across the map, less of a likelihood than it was in BF42! That was one of the reasons I stopped playing BF42 and began playing Call of Duty multiplayer, which has no planes and is excellent by the way. Compared to Call of Duty the action is more lumbering but the learning curve can be steep for newbies. This game will probably favor hard core gamers who play every day rather than casual gamers. If you are the latter, Call of Duty is a much better choice. The bottom line is that the game is worth the money and there is enough new stuff here to keep it interesting.
