ohhh didnt realise you needed gold to get this working, seems mine ran out anyway, so anyone want my code? cause im going university in 3 days and am 90% sure they've blocked gaming ports so no point me using up a Month trial i got (ill save that for my month off in December for Halo 3) for 3 days, so anyone want my token?

Woo Hoo! got in the beta (thanks to WayLander (Y) ) though I am having touble getting in a game it just seems to stay on "Trying to join to potential matches" Anywork around for this?? :huh:

yeah log off xbox & log back in should fix it

if not restart xbox thats what i did & it works

Acies, wait for it. It'll come eventually. Alot of people are playing the MP beta. I've been in a few games where I was disconnected due to copious amounts of lagg. Anyway, keep trying. You'll get in sooner or later.

Hey sharpy2k4,

I'll gladly take your code. Huge COD2 player. Thanks a bunch.

Just started playing this today (my cousin was playing it yesterday I think) and wow, very impressed so far.

I enjoyed this ALOT more than the Halo 3 MP beta I'll tell you that much. The maps, while small-ish are beautiful, the weapons FEEL great, the sounds are awesome, and the overall action is superb.

Of course, if I see another person say that CoD 4 looks better than Crysis, I'll have to go and kill them. I mean, the game looks great and everything, but better than Crysis? Wow, what kinda stuff are they smoking? :|

Guys, I just played this game and it's freaking awesome!

Everything is great and the weapon balance is great! The graphics are awesome and I'm thinking that it looks better than Crysis.

I hope the PC version runs worse than the 360 version. Bwahaha.

The beta is cool, but just doesn't feel right. Nowhere near as fun as I thought it'd be :(

I feel the same, need more maps for the beta too, only 2 of the map selection is good. That one which is mostly indoors sucks cause everyone camps around corners and stuff.

Played a few games, really awesome game looks great and plays smooth.. like butter!! But it's pretty damn hard to be good, I certainly need practice anywho. Though I wish the sensitivity was more customizable, medium is too slow, fast is a bit too fast.

Is it just me or are the pistols reeeeally underpowered. Also what are the full controls how do I knife?? throw a grenade back etc..??

I am so getting this game when it comes out.

@Magik: That was good man. I look forward to fragging with you again. ;)

Yea, definitely man. Great fun, but you were def whooping ass. I'll need some more time with it to get up to your standards. :D

As far as the quality of the game is concerned, definitely top-notch. Truly fun multiplayer, really. If it wasn't for this Beta, I would have just rented it, did the SP Campaign and sent it back, but now that I have experienced the CoD4 multiplayer, I'll probably be picking this up sooner or later (Halo 3 has higher priority though, surprise) :p

For those just getting into it or don't really think it's that fun, definitely give it some time. Once you get used to things, the weapons, the maps, the perks system, etc you'll really start to appreciate the quality of the game. Good stuff. (Y)

    • "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 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.
