Is anyone else getting a slight (and very annoying) delay in movement from
the mouse? I have adjusted the mouse sensitivity in the main menu and it
does nothing to the delay. I had a look in the config file (in the folder
the game installs in my documents) and I can't see anything obvious to
tweak and I don't want to mess around in there until I know exactly what to
touch. It's really spoiling the game for me at the moment, it's like i'm
playing a drunk!
My setup is man enough to run the game so it's not an issue with my
hardware spec.

Yup. Getting the same thing.
I tried adjusting mouse sensitivity, too, but it didn't help. SP Demo
seemed to be a little better than MP Demo as far as mouse is concerned, but
both have issues that need to be corrected IMO.

Just found this on the official forums, it seems we will have to wait
until they get the patch out. I'm going to leave the game until then, can't
stand playing it like this. Damn thing should never have been released in
this state.

From the official forums-

A patch is being worked on now and should be out soon. Will also addrss the
following issues.

============================================= =====================
PATCH CONTENTS
============================================= =====================

1. Mouse and Input Lag (single and multiplayer)

2. Dedicated Server CPU Utilization (multiplayer)

3. 999 Ping Bug (multiplayer)

4. Spawn Code Server Hitching (multiplayer)

5. Miscellaneous Single Player Bug Fixes

============================================= =====================
Addressing Mouse Lag
============================================= =====================

This patch improves the responsiveness of the renderer and greatly reduces
the time lag between user input (mouse movements, button clicks)
and the corresponding visual updates on-screen, and should result
in a much more responsive feel to the game as a whole. In
multiplayer games, the responsiveness is improved for all model
detail settings, but for performance reasons it only affects "medium"
and "high" model detail in single player games.

Snipped.

If there is a setting for "smooth mouse" try disabling it, it could help a
bit. If the setting is missing in the setup, one could try typing "m_filter
0" in the console. Probably this isn't working, but it can be worth a try
...

You expected EA to actually ship a fully working and tested game? You be
wrong :)
Were talking EA here. Be lucky to even get one patch that actually fixes
things instead of making them worse.
I noticed mouse lag "fire button" in the demo.
