So the FPS spikes are only happening when playing online?

Mine were happening both on and offline, just tried a few other games - Crysis 2 max possible settings, not an ounce of fps loss - Deus Ex HR max possible settings, not an ounce of fps loss.

The odd part is how its happening to such a wide range of systems yet none of them have alot of parts in common, if I were a betting man i'd say its either Punk Buster or quite simply EA havent tested it on a wide enough range of hardware thus it runs like treacle on decent/good setups. (never had any problems with punk buster in the past like so i'm not so sure about that)
