Well you should learn to read, it was mentionned plenty of times. And btw, Battlelog works great, much better than integrated server browser. I was against the idea at the beginning but all of that changed.

I'm sure it was but at least we know now it can be played offline.

I received my SpecAct code key from Amazon this morning but the postie has already been to my dads and my game is nowhere to be seen :angry:

Not very happy as I pre-ordered this game months ago and they only chose to dispatch it late yesterday! My brother tells me he receives things as late as 4 pm but I have a feeling I'm not going to be seeing the game today :( . I just can't wait dammnit!

No sign of my Amazon pre-order, and meanwhile people are picking up copies of the Limited Edition (which I thought was preorder ONLY) from the local supermarket.

It's great when you get screwed over as a consumer. A great big **** YOU to Royal Mail - you useless bunch of twats.

I think what hes getting at is the fact that the Battlelog plugins dont work in a 64bit browser which im guessing he uses full time, so he would have to load 32bit just to play BF3, thats one of the reasons i switched back to 32bit Firefox

Alright. Odd Seine Crossing question.

I can't remember the flag letter, but it's the flag that's in between multiple buildings in a court with a container in it. Anyway, if you shoot the building near it, the wall from the floor you shoot will fall down. If someone from the opposing team is standing under the falling wall chunks will they be killed?

Updated sig with new BF3 sig, so happy ^_^

Also ordered my PC yesterday...now i have to wait....I don't like waiting!!!! I was able to find my second Asus GTX 580 Platinum and already recieved it, sitting on my desk and I cant use it, its driving me crazy!!!!

Played last night for a bit and was unable to get any wins...my team always decides they just want to sit in the back and snipe, i would rush up and plant the Mcom and have no support, i would just look at the map and they are all in the back just sniping, not even sniping where they can cover the MCOM's /ragequit!!!!!

I ended up doing that, but that screwed up my quit %, went from 1% to 5% last night lol, also went from a 3.6 W/L ratio to almost a 2.0.....i was raging something fierce last night, but i still had fun so thats all that matters.

Had one of the most intense conquest games before, Loving this so much more than I ever did Bad company 2

Anyone got tips on flying the jets with keyboard and mouse (Didn't play Bf2 very much)?

Otherwise I may need to connect my joystick :rofl:

Turn your mouse sensitivity way up and slow down into turns and speed up out of them for more mobility, other than that I guess just press C to change view out of the cockpit to get a better field of vision to go after enemies, switch back into cockpit to shoot them ofc. :D Happy hunting and hope this helps in some way.

EDIT: Oh and don't forget you can press Shift in vehicles to activate Afterburners / Turbo's if the vehicle has them.

Question, has anyone tried the voice communication on Battlelog? if so, easy to use, sound is good, is it detrimental to performance, etc?

I am definitely going to try to play with a few friends this weekend on PC, and do not really have a teamspeak server or ventrillo server, and even though it is cheap enough to rent one monthly, if the voice comms on battlelog work and do not cause any performance issues, we will just use them. TIA, DL

Nope, they're working just fine for me. It has push to talk and hands-free mode. Tried it with a friend, it's just a little tricky to get to the settings. The settings automatically save, so no need to push a save button or anything like that.

Exactly the same situation here and now I feel like an absolute idiot for even bothering to pre order.

Words cannot describe the amount of hate I have for the Royal Mail, the other day I caught a postie just outside seconds after he left a "sorry you were out card" and when I asked him to give me my item as I was obviously not out, he confessed to not having even brought it with him essentially hoping I would do his god damn job for him. RAGE!!!!

    • 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.
    • Pretty nice tool, thanks
    • Indeed. But note that this has Wifi7, HDMI 2.1, BlueTooth 5.4, and 5G Ethernet, so even in the additional features list this bundle blows the Steam Machine away. And, with the money saved, one could improve this dramatically.
