Seems like there is an issue with BBC2.

It seems like when your GPU is waiting for your CPU, it actually slows down the game. Also keep in mind that Frostbite engine was designed for consoles and most console engines prefer CPU to GPU's. So this kinda makes sense in a weird way.

Yeah, I'm not exactly sure how it works, but as far as I understand, Nvidia cards have built-in Physx hardware. Ati doesn't, so they suffer with Physx intensive games. I tried playing with Physx in Mirror's Edge, and it turned into lag central.
As far as I know you get dedicated Physics cards, though. If I'm not mistaken about their existance, I'll just get myself one sometime.
PhysX works on ATI cards at full performance, but its "blocked". You can get some community created Catalyst drivers which enable PhysX on ATI cards, its not a hardware limitation. The hack drivers are VERY old though, NVidia asked the guy who was creating them to stop.

BBC2 uses Havok which is software (CPU) physics.
Havok and NVidia PhysX are both propriety API's and sometimes you'll find games that will use NVidia hardware to help with PhysX calculations. However, both Havok and PhysX also have software implementations, which uses CPU only.

Are they going to incorporate fighter jets? I saw something like that in one of the game trailers?

I've never liked BF games. Just way too slow compared to Unreal and COD. I also don't enjoy the vehicles. The only game that I've liked that is in Unreal.
On console there aren't any local servers so that is a huge negative as well. This is the PC section so I guess that doesn't count, but gameplay-wise COD destroys BF.

What a boring world this would be if we all liked the same things
I've tried.. Really, I have. I played the first one, then many different versions after that. The last game a bought was Bad Company. Never again. It's a waste of money for me. I really just don't like the style of the game. Slow slow slooooowwww.
Will give it a try at a buddies place. But ja, Unreal ftw!
