Battlefield 4 PC specs on Uplay were place-holder - report
Battlefield 4's recommended and minimum PC specs were believed to have appeared in the unlikeliest of places; Ubisoft's digital store Uplay. An alleged EA employee has now debunked the specs as place-holder.
UPDATE: BF4blog has reported that a Reddit user called Offspring - who is listed as EA employee / Origin producer - has debunked the specs.
They said, "I don’t believe the final system requirements have been decided yet, and this looks a lot like placeholder system requirements from BF3 with a couple of tweaks. I know everyone’s excited for BF4 news, but I wouldn’t trust an Ubisoft page with system requirements for it just yet."
Thanks MTS91. The wait for actual specs continues.
