I'm very confused...

Installed game, and it takes you to a browser page to join a game

That is how it works at the moment, you use the Battlelog website for everything

I really like how the Battlelog voice chat works!

Has anyone else noticed that the clipping/sinking into the ground seems to be worse on some servers than others?

I was playing last night and it seemed to be fine, barely any clipping, no falling into the ground.
Yet jumped on a different server for a quick go today and seem to sink into the ground A LOT, I didnt think this was a lag related issue but it seems like it may play a factor?

Is there any truth at all behind the "medium only textures"?
A lot seem to be mentioning it. Source?

I couldn't tell much difference between low and ultra, but that's probably just me?. Who knows?.

Your statement doesn't make any sense. I complain about the MoH/CoD gunplay and the bullet damage goes hand in hand with that, not the opposite of bullet damage.

Increased bullet damage is the opposite of what BF is, BF2 and BF2142 were nothing like this at all, and this gives it a more arcade feeling, CoD is an arcade game, this is trying to mirror the gunplay and bullet damage of it, so it's taking it AWAY from what it's supposed to be and making it more arcade.

The lag may be what's totally ruining it for me and making it feel worse than it is, who knows? But as it stands I can't bare playing this.

Its a chance thing! I had the grey screen on origin after about 4 or 5 logins it worked! Alternativly you can go to the origin website and dwnload there but think thats down now!

Game is amazing.

I'm a bit confused though. I appear to be getting an average FPS of 37 with everything on Ultra and 4XAA with a GTX 460 and a Q8200 (stock). Surely that isn't possible.

P.S> My min is 20 and Max is 50.

My stock i5 750 2.6Ghz might need Overclocking I think, there are times when the framerate drops to 50. Is this game more graphics card reliant or CPU?
