I've had this for a while now. Every so often (every 15 minutes or so maybe), I'll get something like a big lag spike and the game basically freezes for 1-2 seconds. When it comes back, I've clearly moved somewhere else, but couldn't see or control where. It's especially annoying when someone is on you when this happens, as it basically means you're dead. Any ideas?
i get this at the start of almost every game, it is pretty annoying having it happen there let alone in a big fight
This happens to me as well. It gets noticeably worse as the match progresses, perhaps because of increased bot spawns.

Dips to 20 during heavy combat. This doesn't seem right, given the min specs.
Well...when I say lag spike, I really mean a graphics hitch. I'm pretty sure it's not a connection issue anyway. I have everything set to bottom, apart from texture detail, while is one notch up from bottom, also at 1440x900. Doing that lets me run at around 100fps when I'm in the spawn room, with it probably going to 50fps at its most hectic. Also, running; XP Home Phenom 9650 2.3GHz 8800GTS 4GB RAM So yeah, no idea.
Something similar to this (but perhaps less severe?) occasionally happens to me as well (generally very late in games). The screen will literally freeze for a bit less than half a second and then resume where I was moving to. It doesn't happen really frequently for me but I'd say at least 2-3 times in a multi-hour play session. It can and will get you killed if it happens in a bad spot . intel i5-650 @3.2GHz XFX Radeon HD6850 8GB RAM
