No contesting the forum rules (rules are to be complied... at least in most cases :P) or the work moderators have enforcing these rules. But this guy deserves a big ~S~ for not being an hypocrite. ;)

No quick return on $50 investment? Of cause it is a tragedy!
...if you live in Africa, Afghanistan or maybe Eastern Europe?

No candies now but only in 1-2 years? WTF! I can not handle it like a man!

PS. BTW BF3 crashes more often than CloD on more systems (e.g. factory overclocked 560ti anyone?) and not compatible with more software like OSD displaying one. Origin disconnects players from servers more often than Steam. Facts learned form reading Battlelog support forums searching for crash solutions. BF3 is more expensive than CloD, had a much better budget and is still better designed than MW3 in spite of all the problems (which also means that MW3 is much worse investment than CloD was). We have to switch to consoles if we are not prepared to happily wait for a long-long time till alpha-beta releases are fixed. So called Permanent Beta is a new industry trend.

Why is a guy posting here who hasn't even been bothered to purchase the game, surely his opinion is worth nothing??

Excellent post Ataros. I subscribe to the permanent beta concept. But ... it has to be declared as a Beta, otherwise it's simply a lie to raise money to allow (hopefully) to correct the bugs. Another kind of business, it looks to me.

What Chivas and Ace of Aces said.

Sadly guys like you are considered liars around here by the squeaky wheel whiners.. Where as I for one see your post as just another example of how the PC itself is the root of most of the problems people are having with CoD.. Which is not surprising what with all the potential interaction of software and drivers out there.. It is for those very reasons why things like XBOX and PS3 are surpassing PCs for the gaming market.

My machine is far lower in spec than the one Sven has and I can run the game just fine on fairly high settings. (Not going to fire up the game right now to check them all but I have SSAO on as well as grass, roads, etc...) And I am running at 1920 X 1080 resolution.

@ElAurens - FYI I did a very interesting test when I upgraded my rig...

My old rig had a E8400 Core 2 Duo @ 3.3 Ghz with a GTX275 card. When I got my new rig (see sig) I tried to use the GTX580 in my old rig and saw minimal improvement in the FPS. Then in the new rig I got almost double FPS... Judging from that I think your GTX570 may be severely hampered my your CPU if that holds for your config too. Se this thread where I posted my results:

Did you have Windows XP in your old rig?
