Oh cool, that's great. I've been really impressed by the latest improvements, it's become enjoyable to play for those of us without amazing systems. Hearing we're getting a big overhaul like this has me excited for future performance increases.

It's pretty damn playable now. I accidentally missed out on the whole bf3 beta because there were populated ns2 servers out there and I joined them first, and had a blast.
