Then I take it you are referring to the PC version..? My 360 version is rock solid, silky smooth and never has problem of any kind. It's actually one of my favourite games - AI bots FTW. I love that: being able to play against AI bots instead of idiot pr*cks who shoot you dead every f*cking five seconds. :evil:

Funny how some of my favourite games are essentially MP games with good offline AI bot support (UT3, Frontlines FoW and LotR: Conquest, etc). I've never played any of 'em online. :lol:
