I suspect something is up with my game and the game of all those I run into online. I'm not running a great machine but it's no slacker either.

2200 AMD
1 gig ram
geforce 4 4200 128

I'm running a DSL connection that never gave a me a problem on JKII or BF1942. I am known for typically having the LOWEST ping of player along the east coast.

But in this game I have a 50 ping for a little while and then every server I've been on spike to where all players runn at around 500. So tell me have you run into this or what?

I've asked other players on-line and they say they are having the exact same issues.

I have been having no problems at all. I typically get pings around 50-90, and most of the other players on the servers I've been on ar about the same, or a little higher. I haven't noticed any lag whatsoever, and other players haven't made any comments about lag. MP for me runs as smooth as silk.

Keep in mind that slowdowns can be caused by lag and graphics settings being set too high. Lag is a product of your connection and the servers connection. Since my game runs smoothly, I can assure you that you are experiencing either lag or graphics problems.
