If you want to have fun, play FH2 with highest settings. There is so need for beeing the best on a server. Whom would you like to impress with good stats ... your girlfriend maybe?!
But if you want to play for stats, that nobody is interested in, then you should play BFBC2 (or FH2 on lowest settings). You can get there a lot of shiny little stars and ribbons.
So now turn up your settings high as possible and enter the battle
Edit: I am always crying, that my PC can't run FH2 on highest settings properly. So be happy, if your machine can make it without any difficulties.
