It was fine after the fixes in late November/early December. I couldn't play it around when it was first released, now I never have a problem.
My gaming rig works fine, but my lil'rig with a dual-core gets tied up over it, and won't play multiplayer, even though it runs singleplayer just fine on high. EA Tech Support just said along the lines of the computers too close to the minimum specs, get a better one. No matter how many times I argue that singleplayer is more than fine.

Multiplayer is completely different. Your processor is handling more players, all of their actions, and all of their gear, etc. It's also handling a lot more events as well, such as terrain destruction and the like, which are much easier to process in single player without many sequences going on at once, in different areas of the map.
I know, I still pass the minimum recs though :|
