=/ Damnit.. Think I may pass then. I love BF3, but I hardly play anymore because of the hassle just to get in a game. I just wanna start up, find a server and go (like Counter-Strike), but battlelog means at least 4-5 minutes before I can get anything going, and for some reason, that is enough time to talk me out of wanting to play.

Kinda agree. Kinda not.

I don't hate Battlelog, but don't love it either. As much as I liked it at first, I began to feel, the experience is somewhat slowing it down.

Nonetheless, it is a great thing to have. With all your stats and friends in one place. A more streamlined experience, at least for me. I like this aspect of it.

Ain't gonna pass on this one though. I liked the 2010' and I have high hopes for this one too.

I just finished single player ..

5 hours on normal..

Almost made me cry in the end because these soldiers and missions are based on real life. They are all real people.

What a ride.. it was overall a great experience.. personally I think it was better than the first. Quite a bit better.

Very emotional.

Really? The very first mission (with the containers and the boat) was based on what real life mission? Anyone has some more info?

Not sure if all of them are.. I think on the mission that's based on real life it says while it's loading the screen..

Soldiers from MOH are actual soldiers though.. they just gave them different pseudonyms. Voodoo, Preacher, Mother, Rabbit etc they are all based on real soldiers..

Rabbit in MOH 2010 was based on real life Petty Officer 1st Class Neil Roberts (callsign - Fifi). He took part in Operation ANACONDA and was thrown from his Chinook when it came under RPG fire. He was captured and executed before Army Rangers and fellow Navy SEALs could rescue him. Also, the Rangers sent to rescue Rabbit were also the QRF. Both of them also died on Takur Ghar (later named Roberts' Ridge).

He is called "Rabbit" because he has six children.

Thus, the ending in MOH 2010.

I bought this game 3 days ago on Origin for $25. If you own Battlefield 3, the game is 50% off. The only downside is that it is a digital download. A whopping 17GB. It has been downloading for me for the past 3 days at 200kb/s. It's not my internet either cause Blizzard yesterday was downloading at 1.25Mb/s... so its definetly on EA servers. It is still going as we speak. 90% there.

I've never had any download speed issues with Origin. I found it to be consistently faster than Steam (which fluctuates between 0.5 - 2 MB/s).

Yeah well, I am still waiting on EA to get back to me about my botched 50% off the PC version for being a BF3 Premium member. Not happy at all, in fact, I may be skipping it entirely now just on premise alone. You would think they would want some money rather than no money, but apparently, that is not the case.

Single Player campaign 5 hours? :cry:

I lol'ed

But seriously, you should try contacting them again. That appears to be really frustrating.

I have contacted them 3 times in the past 36 hours, without even so much as an acknowledgment that I have done so. I also have 2 open cases, one from the customer representative I first talked to, one that I opened on my own. Not really sure what else I can do.

It turns out the game was on my Gamefly Queue for the PS3 and I never removed it, so it was shipped yesterday. I guess I will just play it on the PS3 and send it back. Would have preferred to play it on the PC, by far actually, but that appears as if it is not going to happen. I am definitely not paying full price for it, and as I said, really do not even believe I should purchase it now even at 50% off. As I said, it is the premise of the whole situation at this point. Hell, if I was not looking forward to Need For Speed as much as I am, I would possibly even consider boycotting EA for a few months. However, I want to play NFS.

In case anyone is interested in hearing just how it went down and how my 50% code is no longer valid, I went off on a little rant on the podcast we just recorded earlier tonight. :laugh:

      "lets you pause updates by choosing an end date, for up to 35 days" Wasn't it "indefinitely"?

      Those extra reboots are related to the UEFI Secure Boot certificate update thing.
    • Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25: Affordable ergonomic mouse that focuses on the right things by Taras Buria ProtoArc is known for making all sorts of office products with a big focus on ergonomics and comfort. Its latest product, the EM25, promises a comfortable-to-use, affordable, and customizable mouse. We took one for a spin; here are our impressions. The ProtoArc EM25 is a $49.99 mouse, but right now, during Prime Day 2026, you can get it for just $37.99. Right off the bat, you can see that the EM25 is inspired by Logitech's MX Master lineup and the legendary MX Master 3/3S. Its shape and proportions are very similar, so for a person with large hands (right-handed person, mind you), the EM25 is very comfortable to use. The mouse fills the palm, and the thumb rests on a small extension, giving your wrist a small tilt to reduce strain. The mouse is made of black plastic without any coating, eliminating long-term wear concerns. However, I can see the main buttons and other areas you touch the most getting polished over time. Despite its size and bulk, the mouse is not too heavy. It weighs about 100 grams, which is significantly less than the MX Master 3S and its successor. It is no lightweight gaming mouse by any means, but it is not excessively heavy like the MX Master 4. The EM25 has a built-in storage for its USB dongle. It is a cleverly made magnetic flap that you open by simply pressing on it. Next to the flap, you will find the on/off switch, the 1,000 Hz sensor, and a DPI button (up to 8,000 DPI). I find the DPI button location a bit odd, and I would prefer it somewhere below the main scroll wheel. Still, given that I never change DPI on my mice, I will let it pass. What is more important is that, unlike MX Master 3/3S/4, the device switch button is located below the left-click button, which allows you to switch devices without lifting and flipping the mouse. For a multi-device setup, this is a perfect solution: the button does not require too much effort to use, it does not get in your way, but it is also easily reachable with your thumb. The main scroll wheel has two modes: ratcheted and free-flow. You can only change between them with a bright orange button (I like this little touch of color), which is sprung and requires some effort to press. The wheel is dead-silent in free-flow mode, but ratched is quite loud and stiff, perhaps even too much to my liking. I can hardly call it deal-breaking, but it will certainly take some time to get used to. The side scroll wheel, it is notched, silent, and pleasant to use. Next to it, you can find a piece of glossed plastic with connection indicators: Dongle, Bluetooth 1, Bluetooth 2, and the low battery indicator. By the way, the built-in battery is rechargeable via a USB Type-C cable, which is included. It is sleeved and has an orange velcro strap to keep it tidy. After using the EM25 for a few weeks, I can say that its main buttons are my absolute favorite. They have very pronounced clicks, which feel great with just the right amount of force required to register a press. I would say they feel like something in between regular mouse clicks and silent ones. You can hear and feel the springy switch, but it is not sharp or loud to the point of annoying you. As for back/forward and device switch buttons, they are very clicky and quite noisy. Unfortunately, there are no extra buttons that you can map to specific things like in the MX Master lineup. Besides great primary clicks, another thing I like about the EM25 is its 1,000 Hz sensor. In the world, where Logitech still uses 125 Hz sensors in $100+ mice, seeing a much faster sensor in a mouse that costs three times less is very refreshing. Also, all the settings and customization you make are stored on-device, and you do not need to install any software. Just open the web-based app and change all that you need. Speaking of customization, you can remap what buttons do, adjust the DPI, and the sensor speed. Sadly, gestures are not supported, but you can still map pretty much anything to each button, including shortcuts, media buttons, and more. I also recommend using software like XMouseControl, as it will let you remap the side scroll wheel. At the end of the day, the ProtoArc EM25 is a great mouse. Clearly inspired by the MX Master lineup, it takes the best of it and complements it with a much more wallet-friendly price tag, significantly better sensor, on-device memory, a built-in storage for the dongle, and more (it fixes everything that I complained about the MX Master 4 recently). And for only $37.99 during Prime Day, the EM25 is an easy recommendation. Buy ProtoArc EM25 mouse - $37.99 | 24% off with Prime As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
