Might be an unpopular opinion but I personally think this is fine. Especially for console. As long as the frame pacing is consistent I don't think the game is going to be harmed by being at 30 fps. If this were PC or a competitive game it might be a different story but aiming on an Xbox controller is already suboptimal and once you play for a while your brain stops thinking about the framerate.

Then again I still go back and play Cod zombies in split screen with my gf on the 360 from time to time which doesn't even have a consistent frame rate. So I may be someone less worried about that sort of thing.

Mine doesn't. It feels like I'm fighting through sand the whole game.

That really sounds coarse and rough and irritating.

I'm no frame rate whore, but it seems ridiculous to target this when this was the standard on previous gen consoles that were first built over a decade ago.
