The poor frames can easily be fixed by a few CVAR changes in some config files. Do some googling.
The point of the lights in the night vision maps is to give the people who can survive long enough to use up the batts on their nightvision a place to hide. Being able to toggle NV on/off when its needed, and to keep track of every corner while doing so. It adds another awesome tactic to the game.
The medic gets the new unlock. Talk to any good player, and they'd gladly give up a zipline/grapple to have that gun. Plus, its just another way of encouraqing squads/teamplay. While the medics dont have a z/g to use, they can use ones that other soldiers place. A medic is worthless all by himself anyway.
The unlocks are awesome, although it does suck that only the SAS/US get to use them. The new unlocks are much better than the old weapons to the point that they get an unfair advantage. Playing vanilla bf2 with the unlocks is now what i do most. I can double my previous best scores on most maps, just by playing medic w/ the G36E.
The game takes a little skill to get used to, and some tricks to get running well on your system (what game doesnt?), but overall, its a worthy addition to the Battlefield family. 8/10
