Then likely my friends have loaded up their PC's with viruses and killed their FR's, because their machines can barely play AH it seems. About the only time I suffer FR issues is when a GV hoard upps and I'm ambushing just past the spawn (a lot of people let their guard down when they get past the usual spawn camp radius but are still a ways from the base).
Your "Friends" have at least one of four issues going on...
1> Old, ancient hardware
2> Using onboard video (and trying to run too high of a graphics setting)
3> Running an out-of-the-box walmart computer that has 4,523 processes running to support hundreds of bloatware free-trial programs conveniently pre-configured to run when windows boots
4> Have bittorrent running in the background downloading 23 haxxor programs, 4 hi-def movies, and 23,491 pron videos, have limewire running in the background downloading 247 songs and 42,749 pron videos and are running a haxxor version of word and photoshop, while maintaining two different anti-virus programs (one haxxor copy of mcaffee and one expired trial version of norton 360) while sitting behind three software firewalls (including the two previously mentioned anti-virus suites, as well as a haxxor version of zone alarm pro) with three instant messaging programs to stay social and a disk defrag running as well. Oh yes, don't forget having facebook open in internet explorer, netflix open in a modified 64-bit version of firefox, and youtube open in google chrome.. all at the same time.
But their systems are working 'perfectly'. (I'm banking on #2, #3, AND #4)
