Hey guys! I just have a question concerning about my computer if it's able to run Heroes of Stalingrad. I know there hasn't been any confirmation of the system requirements, but I would just like to know if the current processor of my computer is at least the minimum to run HoS. The processor I'm currently using is an Intel Pentium D CPU 2.8 Ghz. Does this pass the minimum to able to run HoS? I will appreciate if you guys could respond, thank you.

From what I can recall of my old Pentium D, it wasn't really capable of running Red Orchestra Ost Front at a good framerate.

RO2 is going to be a CPU intensive game, plus UE3 is a bear as far as video performance is concerned. It's just a matter of getting modern hardware, though.

A Pentium D is really outdated. Get yourself a cheap Core 2 Duo or an AMD 3 core Phenom. Anything later than an nvidia 8800 GTS should be able to cover the video end of RO: HOS satisfactorily at moderate resolutions.

I myself have run plenty of UE3 games satisfactorily on my Core 2 Duo and nvidia 9600 GT, which is slightly slower than an 8800 GTS. For instance, Mass Effect, Bioshock, and Rainbow Six Vegas. Depending on how intensive HoS is, running it at medium low settings might be feasible for me.

But then again, you can't really know for sure until the requirements are released.

Take heart in the fact you shouldn't need to spend more than a few hundred dollars at most to totally destroy this game should you need an upgrade given where the hardware's at right now.

1.5 GB hard drive? Commandos 2 was 2 GB and that was a looong time ago.
Maybe it's 15 GB

I recommend that you upgrade your computer closer to the release of HoS when the minimum/recommended specs have been announced and new hardware has hit the stores and lowered prices.

It's going to struggle I'm afraid. What about your graphics card?

For a general guideline, look at the specs of UT 3. Then up them a bit. UT engine scales down well, but as it has been said a few times, HoS will have upgraded graphics.

Ah ok, gotcha. Atleast its some indication of the setup required
No, actually, I don't think it is. Basically what you wanna do is look up recent games that have been released, which use the Unreal Engine 3 and check those requirements (LINK). It's a much better indication of what kind of a PC RO2 will most likely require.

My graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670. Is that good enough to run HoS on minimum settings?

We have definite answer, but it should run it. Probably on lower settings, but I would be surprised if it couldn't even run the game.

I'd assume that a GTX 460, 4GB DDR2 RAM, and AMD Phenom II quad core or Intel 9** series CPU should run RO2 pretty nicely.

I would hope than the Core i5 and i7s, GTX 560s and HD 69502GBs would be able to max the game out at 40-50 frame rates! But we'll have to wait and see...
