2011 MacBook Pro Boot Camp Battlefield 3?

just wanted user experiences on this. know pretty specific never know

have 2011 2.3ghz quad core i7 macbook pro. i'm going upgrade ram 16gb , wondering if of had experience playing battlefield 3 through bootcamp. whether booting windows or running partition through vmware fusion.

able play @ decent spec levels?

 

16gb ram doesn't change in regards gaming capability. 8gb doesn't offer benefit. 4gb you'd need.

bit of tweaking can make medium/low details work.
me think 1st person shooter needs 45 fps average work well. if barely reach 30 fps average drops too low when action on , need fluent fps. consider 30 fps avg enough strategy games starcraft not 1st person shooter green should 40+ , 25-30 yellow , below red.
bf3 on low works on higher doesn't work on notebooks.
why prefer cod game play might not great big battles @ least can play without buying gaming notebook.

notebookcheck tests run @ 1366x768 resolution comparable. not entirely sure if 720p or native 1440x900. if 1080p there mention.
