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.

Cool thanks. I will just try them out then. (Y)

Really hating games where you join on the losing team right as the game is about to end... I'm getting a LOT of those =/

That happened to me twice last night. Litterally, load game and boom, fail screen appears. I didn't even get to spawn in, or choose a kit. Twice in a row. My ****ing luck.

So has anyone used the tugs and gotten surveilance ribbons? I'm off the opinion that it is utterally and completely useless and 100% broken.

Nope, but I haven't used it much. But I can now officially agree with what you said a few days ago - radio beacon sure is nerfed a bit too much because it's just so damn noticeable. Not only it is louder than in the beta, but it's huge and has a light attached. IMO one of those things has to go.

Completed the campaign today on PS3, i enjoyed it but i thought the whole thing was extremely unchallenging... after completing i felt like i'd just watched a film. It's the first campaign i've attempted in about 10 year so i don't know if thats the norm but it felt like there was way i could lose, there is little margin for error.. you follow the blue sign and shoot when you see an enemy. Maybe i'm just playing the wrong genre of game? i have nothing to compare it to.

Is there nothing like resident evil these days? with lots of room for error and thinking?

I tried the voice communication yesterday with a friend. It did not work. Is it originally configure as push to talk ? I did not see the options ...

Yes it is, the options are at the right bottom corner. Click on COM Center, it's TINY TINY gear icon once you're in a party.

tugs?

The 'Tactical Unattended Ground Sensor' or T-UGS for short, it's a motion sensor that Recon gets, it warns you with a sound when enemies are moving nearby and makes them appear on radar for a short while. It's apparently bugged though at the moment and has been since beta, lots of people are complaining about it.

Though it won't detect anyone who is either prone or moving while crouched just the same as claymores won't blow up if they do the same thing.

I thought that was by design? One of the tips that came up said you can get by claymores by going prone.

That was what I meant yes. :D I was just pointing out that drawback and that you wouldn't be able to completely rely on it watching your back. :shiftyninja:

I don't know what it is, but for the last day or so Battlelog is not loading pages as I should. I click on a link, and it says it's Loading Stats, or whatever, but doesn't show anything. And then if i refresh the browser it does. Very odd. It makes getting into a server tough. :wacko:

Is anyone else having sensitivity problems when in vehicles where the vision is unhindered (you know, like how the tank can only swivel its turret so fast). On the mounted gun atop the tank, I find it impossible to aim right, because everything is so touchy compared to ground. On ground, I also have negative mouse accel problems, but I hear they're working on it.

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!!!!

That sucks, got mine from Amazon a day early but we have a good postie

Probably isn't even the postie, if the stuff gets to his frame(ie desk) it should go out that day. (Although the "modernisation" to cut costs is causing problems everywhere).

I'm almost regretting buying it :/ Can't even join a game now FFS! ?43!

Bring on MW3.

    • 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.

    • Newegg offers insane combo deal on Amazon Prime Day 2026 that beats Steam Machine

      By excalpius · Posted

      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.
