I just recently started playing this game. Bought the game code in feb and had to wait because of studies and proper internet connection.
Being a age old CS player, I don't know why people bash this game so much. I have played this game for two days now and I've never had more fun on any other multiplayer game.
Although, I dislike how EA has put so much microtransaction here. Most of the good stuff (better sights, for eg) are unlocked only via battlepacks and its tempting to buy that 5 X pack for 600. Not to mention the kits that can be bought for 300-400 rupees that immediately unlocks weapons.
On my 1 mbps unlimited connection, I get under 140 ping on most southeast Asian servers with some dipping till 90, so there are no lags what so ever.
Any other player looking to form a platoon can ping me up at 7_GaZ.
