Im liking it so far, no lag issues, its a whole lot prettier than the beta was. HC is much better than normal mode, a lot to like :)

Been playing the game quite a lot today, trying both the campaign mode and multiplayer.

Campaign performs ok except when autosaving and the FPS plummets!!

In Multiplayer, there seems to be a LOT of server lag, withn the dreaded rubber-banding (although I have been playing UK servers with a ping of 20 odd, so not bad by any means). Makes flying unbearable. Also, there are a few graphical glitches such as residual laser red dots on walls and stairwells from the laser sights on weapons. I have had a couple of sessions end for no apparent reason as well, which puts me off playing big ticket matches with the risk of losing a boatload of points!

The game is pretty good fun, but there is a lot of work to do to bring it up to the level of polish that BF3 currently has.

What did I say yesterday, its EA, as for BF3 being polished, you want me to hit you with a stick...

LOL. I never said BF3 was perfect :blush: Anyways, I have sorted out the FPS drop in campaign when autosaving. Seems that keeping the "My Documents" folder on a spinner was proving to be a bottlekneck, put back on the users directory on C: (SSD) and no more problems. As for the rest of the issues, yeah EA suck....

I moved the folder about 2 years ago and I have had no issues up to now, with many other games using that folder. I moved it away from the C: drive and changed the location of the pointer, slow writes is a new issue. Something tells me that you have a stick with my name on it, anyway :eek:
