Unfinished for PC gamers. Big Disappointment

By Magnum596 | Review Date:
As with all first person shooters this day and age, the primary attraction is multiplayer. Out of the box this game did not work on PC with 90% or more of players having issue and GPUs and CPUs running at 100% even with "Power Machines" at minimum settings.

30 days after release there has been minor fixes but a majority of the PC community cannot play this game online due to the "lag spikes" or "stuttering" where the game will halt for a few milliseconds to a few seconds.

It kills the game experience and makes multiplayer unplayable.

Single Player also suffered from the issue, but was much less a problem. Single player was expected, short, better than average.

Multiplayer I have been able to suffer less than 2 hour online before giving up in frustration and returning to a previous title that is playable.
