Hey Oz I hear you, I think I got it working for maybe 10 hours of game time through the beta stage and I had early access. I would tell you my stats but I can't seem to log back into battlelog.
But I've had BBC2 running 3 screens full speed since the beta, every patch an improvement. Then the release of MOH, that was the same engine tweeked, and that ran sweet. Dice are going to deliver on this because their track record is one of the better one's in gaming at the moment.
I don't mean to bash Nova, JO was awesome, but if they sell 100 thousand copies of Angel Falls it would crash the servers for a month and the game would be dead, thats their track record.
