Its been playing well for me. It was a bit choppy the first day or 2, but seems better now.

Exactly my experience.

I played for over 20 hours in the span of 3 days over the weekend, and while it was choppy at first, the random, bullshit, stuttering lag seems to have disappeared now.
 
My favorite killstreak so far is the pack of dogs. That is fucking awesome and hilarious.

Killing someone with the crossbow is insanely fun and satisfying as well.

I've been playing combat ops until they get all the stutter/lag bugs fixed. The recruit level bots are pretty fucking stupid and will run right past you or take forever to aim or take like 1 shot at a time, even with a full auto rifle.

sometimes they are pretty good though. I usually die to a bot sniper.

Normal is the next highest and there is a huge difference in AI. They are much better and like to use the different grenades a lot.

Haven't tried anything higher. the normal bots are currently giving me a pretty good challenge.

ANother thing I notice with the bots, more so with the recruit bots, is that they seem to not go in certain areas, so you can kind of hide and snipe them pretty easily.
 
does crossbow have 2 kinds of tip in MP or is it always explosive? in the description, it says there's 2 kinds of tips but how do you switch tips?

Its just explosive online IIRC.

Obviously in the campaign you can switch to non-explosive, but I haven't seen it in mp
 
I don't know whether or not anything was patched... The first couple days there was occasional lag. I have had no problems lately though playing 2-3 hours sessions.
 
Perfectly fine for me now. I was one of the people screaming during the first 48-72 hours about how crappy the game was performing.
