My personal favorite so far is how many servers don't give any equipment to some players. I like running around the map without any means to defend myself, while encountering players with firearms and tanks. It feels like an authentic Soviet experience, which is exactly what I was looking for in this pre-Soviet game.

Jokes aside, I've been having fun with it for the most part. I'm actually sort of amazed how smoothly it runs, considering I have 'only' a GTX 770. My main problems are with snipers, who are overpowered on Rush, and possibly tanks, which seem really hard to counter even as an assault. Oh, and the occassional lack of equipment is sort of annoying too, although it was quite amusing at first.

lol good one about the Soviet experience and authenticity! But what kind of equipment is lacking? Surely all the servers must be identical since it's EA who provides them. Explain! I only know that ammo is hard to come by.

Yes, the game runs extremely smoothly! With an R9 290 the game autoset me on ultra settings and I haven't bothered checking the framerate because it runs so smooth. What a solid engine they have.

But the GTX 770 is still a very good card. It's only 20% slower than mine.
