I absolutely love the  "Does it suck...or do you suck?" question. It's usually asked by people who can use the best gun in the game against me while i use the worst gun no one uses and they still die.

Huh, I still like playing BC2.  Sure there's some that hack and snipers have mortar and that is annoying at times.  Makes it all the more satisfying to counter-snipe or knife them.

Yeah, I kinda agree with this. I miss not having my aim messed up by being hit by other players, nearby mortar strikes, and Destruction 2.0.

I enjoy using the VSS on "hardcore". It is everything bad about this game.

Played this game the other day after... many months. It's so fucking laggy wtf! I did get a new monitor (1280x1024 to 1920x1080), but I also upgraded my videocard (GTX460). Guess I'm being bottlenecked by my processor (C2D E8400). So frustrating. Even with everyone on low I'm getting 20~30 fps. Guess I should lower the resolution?

Gameplay-wise, had an ok time. So many shithead snipers out there who do absolutely fuck-all. I didn't get CG'd left and right though, and I did get another gold star with the M60 (was 2 kills away) and another gold star for the CG (was 6 kills away). Despite horrible framerates, I played alright. Most of my team did not. Meh, at least in MW2 you can run around on your own and get nukes and whatnot. You'd think by now the retards would've dropped out of BC2, but it appears that's not so.

I find it hard to play more than a few rounds. I can't get hooked. Oh well.

Something must be configured wrong -  I get 45 FPS on average @ 1680 X 1050 with a C2D E8400 and an HD 5670 on mostly medium settings.  Are you running the latest video drivers?

Yep. Downloaded them and installed along with the new videocard yesterday. I suppose I could try reinstalling the game and see if that does anything. I used someone's custom BC2 launcher to tweak the settings, as well as the in-game options for the settings. Got crappy framerates both times. It's a little worrying considering that when looking at charts of the videocard performance, they were playing at 40+ fps.

Gotta say that BC2 seems more laggier for me as well.

I have got a 22'' widescreen (1680x1050) also an E8400 and a HD4870. Where before on medium I could get around 50-60 fps, the last time I played I couldn't get past the 40 and regurarly dropping to 30 and 25 fps, totally weird to be honest.

Obviously the CPU is the bottleneck but we both should be able to get some more FPS, especially on low

Overclock the shit out of your CPUs. BC2 is really heavily optimised for CPU usage. 'swhy I bought a QCore

Yay, more shit to buy and install... cooler (still running stock) and overclocking/monitoring tool.

I already OC'ed it to 3.6 ghz. I could easily push it to 4.4 Ghz but I've done that before and the gain over 3.6 ghz seemed minimal at best.

Nothing to do with OC.  Needs at least three cores to perform well at high settings.

Yay, more shit to buy... Quad core CPU for an LGA 775 socket that I won't be able to use in a new build!

Just get a Q9300 or a Q9550 if you're feeling flamboyant.

Q9550 has roughly the same performance as an i5, bit worse. You won't need to upgrade for a good while.

That's the way I saw it, and why I spent ~£200 on a new mobo/CPU.

If SLI-ready mobo + good CPU < Q9550, that'd be awesome. ...though unlikely.
