    all the time, especially on my 55 in tv, and it looks fantastic, i run in 720p tho for the best frame rates and everything else at max, it looks really good, the game feels more intense on a larger screen

    I changed mine from high and 1080p to 720p and med. Framerate went from 20s to 40s. Also noticed I didn't die as much. Am playing with xbox 360 controller. Only thing I don't like so far is that I have to hold down the left stick for boost when driving tank. On xbox you just push down to turn on and off.
