    Just played the game for a few minutes but already noticed low performance on ultra settings (multiplayer). This is a big surprise to me as the game seems to be a real let down in terms of graphics (feel very dated as well as game play). High-Ultra settings FPS ranges from mid 50's to mid 20's. I had a feeling the game might be like this, but I gave into the hype....

    Can anyone else confirm how the game is playing?

    Seems to be a little more stable now, very server specific.
