But there is alot of good: Graphics are not bad, the tank combat is awesome, there are some Servers but they are most of the time empty and you have connect to them directly, many maps that are pretty big, many single missions playable trough "scenarios" and the DLC comes as freebie.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game still looks great and it's as responsive as any FPS if you do that.
