ATI Shadow Problems in BF2

Every once in a while I'm playing BF2 at 2560 x 1600 with 2XAA, in 5.1 surround, and thinking life as a gamer is pretty sweet right now. Then I am sucked back to reality by the sight of some horribly jagged shadows. From what I've heard, Nvidia users see smooth, nice looking shadows and it's ATI's DirectX shadow method that is to blame. Is anyone else getting sick of this? BF2 is only the 3rd or 4th biggest PC multiplayer game if I'm not mistaken. Why do ATI and EA\Dice not get together on this one?
 
I don't think the jagged shadows is an ATI only issue. The shadows are definitely not cutting edge. Hell, they sucked when BF2 was released. I think the problem is also seen on nVidia cards. I haven't noticed it in a while but i'm pretty sure i also get it. Also, when i had 1900xtx on my system, there are other shadow issues (like on windows from far away). These problems are not seen on nVidia cards (at least i've never seen it on my system).
