I played the demo and the shadows were pixelated at max settings. I was like "wtf?!" but then I set shadows to high and it worked fine. I'm sure EA is well-aware of this problem, since we're not the first people to notice this. It's amazing how stuff like this can slip through their notice, though I feel that BfM-E 2 was a bit rushed to begin with. EA is horrible with support though. How many patches do they release per game? For most they release like one or two, except for BF2 where they introduced major flaws and had to fix their brand new problems.
