Sounds like you got a Radeon Card.
Yes and no on it's supposed to happen.
These were bugs way back from when the game was first made. They have been fixed in the upcoming Going Rogue engine revision, but we do not know when the fixes will go to the Live Server.

Thanks! If anyone else has this problem, one of the guys in my main non-coh forum had more details:|

But what neither person has said yes is whether that bit with the depth of field and FSAA being mutually exclusive is part of the same problem.
Go over to the Technical Issues forum section.
There's a big detailed thread of how to correctly configure Radeon cards
to work right with CoH.
It's stickied right up at the top, from Bill Z Bubba.
I haven't read through it in a long time, as I don't use Radeon cards, but
if I remember right Bill talks about exactly the issues you're seeing and how to fix them.

And yes, FSAA not working with DoF is part of the same problem.
The answer in quick form:
Disable Bloom, Depth of Field, Desaturation FX
Water effects disable or set to low
FSAA and AF disable.
Go into ATI's catalyst control center and force FSAA and AF there.
Enjoy.
Be well, people of CoH.
Many thanks and my apologies for missing the tech support area. I looked, but expected it to be here not in development. I'll try that.

Thanks for the detailed help.
