But see, that's part of the problem - there ARE no official minimum or recommended requirements for the new version. --- A lot of people will probably wait until the actual release.---
As JunkyII already said, it's still beta. As the requirements change with each and every update making such a list would be impossible.
What I wanted to stress in my previous post is that basically no video intensive game can be played without a
gaming computer. AH2 is a rare exception of the rule to some extent. What will be needed for AH3 based on the Beta is a mid to high end computer built for gaming. The recommendations given for those who can't wait for the initial release have been exactly that, good overall gaming rigs built with longevity in mind. My current rig can play both versions well enough despite the processor being released in 2008 and the video card in 2010, both bought second hand for a reasonable price.

Exactly. Any information and help you want is available if you ask. On the HTC Home Page, Downloads, there's the download page for AH3 Beta. The first three lines containing 35 words provide all the information needed, telling in capitals that it's BETA and including a direct link to the Beta forum. If people want to play an unfinished product without participating in the developing process, they most likely won't read the requirements anyway.
