Not big of a range from S6 to G2, so I doubt you would be punished. They could also make it so you don't get much, if any at all, standing/reward from missions. Kinda like Team Killer medal now.

No
Do you have nvidia or ati?
I have 16x Aniso ingame and additionaly I force it through nvidia panel.
I have ATI, so I should force Anistropy through the CCC aswell as have it enabled in-game?
best what? Im on 32bit with 3gb of RAM and the game runs fine using that fix and the increaseuserva fix with high res textures galore.
Best texture quality, I have 4GB RAM and I used the increaseuserva fix, my game runs fine, as I said a few posts up.
