Any plans on optimization?

Probably won't happen until closer to PS3 release. But I do hope they fix shadows and lighting, especially on the characters.

Speaking of shadows, does anyone else get a ton of lines in their shadows rather than just a solid shadow, or is it just me?

From what I have seen that sort of choppyness seems to be because so much data needs to be pulled from the HDD, I have seen people say that a SSD stops it, because a SSD is alot faster than a HDD, but it could partly be network related as well.

I upgraded to an intel 510 SSD, and it has made a huge improvement in loading and choppiness. But like others said, I think its a lot of network related problems, and the game holds to wait on server responses.

We all get it, no matter what setting. It used to not be in early Beta version, then in the last Beta (ultimately the final build of the game) build it was there.
