To bad ea account servers are down every 15 minutes

If cookye thinks it's worth posting in words about something, you better believe him.

It's not that bad if you can find a decent server ( the german ones are good ) you can play the game for 4 hours without any connection problems or crashes. I never played a Battlefield game before but i got to admit it's addictive, the whole leveling up unlocking weapons collecting badges .

Finally managed to play some more and It's awesome - Rush is a bit sniper fest sometimes, and autobalance doesnt work, so once teams ended in proportions of 20vs12 but conquest is great, maps are fantastic, weapon damages are well balanced for that kind of game, I would say they're nearly the same as in bf2, but since maps are so big hardcore modes are annoying, since you die a lot from random bullets sprayed across the map. I had a great run with some random guys and we owned like 3 straight rush maps - 2 of them lasted at least 30 minutes of non stop action To balance things out and complain it badly need seperate sensitivities for land and air vehicles - i'm playing at about half the sensitivity for infantry but for tanks is soooo daaamn slooow. But then blowing sniper with the roof he's camping on is one of those moments when you forget about those little issues and enjoy blowing map to pieces

my Nintendo DS emulator uses more of my graphics card than this game does...50-60% on emulator, 10-25% on bad company 2

As for optimization the game still has trouble utilizing GPU - CPU load sits at 80-90% on both cores, while GPU load rarely exceeds 40%. In Modern Warfare 2 however both CPU and GPU sits at about 80% giving extra smooth 70 frames on max details :/ Found a brilliant quote about this
Also found usefull chart of available upgrades

"Auto-spotting" sniper scope doesn't work. The +100% Grenade ammo also gives you rifle-launched grenades. Vehicle motion sensor is useless, since all vehicles have motion sensors anyway (at least they do for me). Secondary gun works for MOST vehicles (UAV included). There are a few exceptions. They do not work when you are the gunner in a vehicle.

As far as I have gathered, having the damage reduction on as a gunner, does apply to the tank. Therefore, I usually take a tank with the the +25% damage done upgrade and have a gunner with the -25% damage taken upgrade.
