    Like, I'm really impressed. Not only did they completely remove the lag, but it seems much more stable and glitch free than the first few months the game was out. I'm glad they pulled through.

    Yes, kudos to DICE for sticking with it until a solution was in place.  However, I wish they could have worked faster as several of the people I played with before the lag set in gave up and sold their copies before it was fixed.

    I'm glad I bought the PC version since it's been working perfectly almost since day one.

    the PC version suffered from pretty serious lag issues for a long time. I'm glad to hear they fixed them now though

    It is, but im kinda upset I spent all that time unlocking stuff while the game was still really janky. I don't have much motivation to play now without that carrot on a stick, I'd rather go play a game with less frustration.

    The PC version was the most un-optimized piece of software I've played in a long time.

    I run it perfectly on highest settings (DX9 since I use XP) with a Q6600 @ stock, 2 GB of DDR2 ram, and a 9800GX2.

    Yea, but every time I see someone on my defending team run past the MCOM as its sirens are whining, I die a little inside.

    @Vorbis:
    Actually, the PS3 version was suffering from serious lag before the latest patch. If you played the game before that, you must've been lucky to find a lag free server... i even quit certain games because of the ammount of lag. Works fine now though! I have noticed my stats are not updated after every game, which sucks!

    I haven't played this for a while, glad to see they fixed the lag because it was unplayable for me most of the time. Are there new maps available ?

    What? It runs perfectly. It's very well optimized. It was however nearly unplayable at launch with all the server browser issues.

    I really love how they are continuing to update this game after its release. I especially love how they are giving constant map pack add-ons and extra content for the VIP people. i know it's just making certain maps available for other game modes, but it really makes the multiplayer better every time they do it.

    Start playing in DX9 instead of DX10. There's practically no visual difference and a massive framerate increase. In your settings.ini change auto to 9.

    I agree with some people on the forums here... My PC version of the game was not smooth at all. After the update, I messed around with my settings and even though the gameplay performance has improved a bit, it does not run as smooth as many of my other PC games. I've played the PS3 and XBOX360 version and you can def tell that DICE was more concerned about those two versions. Yet, I do admit that I had a lot of fun with the game on many occasions.
