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.

    • Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google reportedly set to lose two key Gemini and DeepMind researchers to Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly preparing to lose two more prominent artificial intelligence researchers, with Gemini contributors Jonas Adler and Alexander Pritzel planning to join rival AI developer Anthropic. According to a report from Bloomberg, both researchers are viewed internally as important contributors to Google’s flagship Gemini model family. Adler worked on Google’s AI coding efforts, while Pritzel was involved in the process used to train AI systems. Neither company has publicly confirmed the moves. The report also does not say when the researchers will formally leave Google or what positions they will hold at Anthropic. Training a large AI model requires decisions covering its architecture, data preparation, distributed computing infrastructure, and post-training methods that shape how the finished system behaves. Researchers with experience operating at the scale of Gemini are consequently difficult to replace quickly. Both Adler and Pritzel have previously contributed to Google DeepMind’s scientific research as well. They are listed among the authors of the company’s work on expanding AlphaFold protein-structure predictions across entire proteomes, alongside AlphaFold researchers including John Jumper. The reported departures arrive shortly after another important change within Google’s Gemini organization. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving Google for OpenAI, after returning to the search company in 2024 through its deal with Character.AI. Shazeer is particularly well known as one of the authors of the Transformer paper, whose architecture became the foundation for most modern large language models. Anthropic, meanwhile, has been recruiting recognizable figures from other leading laboratories. OpenAI co-founder and former Tesla AI director Andrej Karpathy joined Anthropic’s pre-training team in May. His move, followed by the reported recruitment of several Google researchers, suggests Anthropic is strengthening the research teams responsible for the core capabilities of future Claude models rather than concentrating solely on product and enterprise sales. The competition is complicated by the companies’ extensive commercial relationships. Anthropic competes directly with Google’s Gemini models, but it also relies on Google as an infrastructure partner. In April, Anthropic announced an expanded agreement with Google and Broadcom covering multiple gigawatts of next-generation Tensor Processing Unit capacity. TPUs are Google-designed accelerators used to train and run large AI models. via Bloomberg

    • Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      Google adds built-in computer control to Gemini 3.5 flash by Karthik Mudaliar Google has added Computer Use as a built-in tool in Gemini 3.5 Flash, giving developers a single model that can reason about a task and operate graphical interfaces across browsers, mobile devices, and desktop environments. The feature is available through the Gemini API and Google’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, although it remains a preview feature for now. Computer Use enables an AI agent to examine screenshots and return actions such as mouse clicks, scrolling, and keyboard input. A developer’s application must execute those actions, capture the resulting screen, and send it back to Gemini, creating a continuous loop until the task is completed. Google says the integration can be used for activities including repetitive form filling, application testing, research across multiple websites, and longer enterprise workflows. Gemini 3.5 Flash can work with browser, mobile, and desktop environments, whereas Google’s earlier standalone Computer Use model was primarily positioned around browser interaction. The main change is consolidation. Computer control was previously offered through the separate Gemini 2.5 Computer Use preview model. As Neowin reported when that model was introduced, it was designed to interpret a visual interface and generate actions without requiring a website-specific API. Google later brought Computer Use to preview versions of Gemini 3 Pro and Gemini 3 Flash in January 2026. The latest release now incorporates the tool into the stable Gemini 3.5 Flash model rather than requiring developers to select a specialized model solely for interface automation. Gemini 3.5 Flash itself was announced in May as Google’s latest fast model for coding and multi-step agent workflows. It supports a one-million-token input context window and up to 65,000 output tokens, along with adjustable thinking levels that let developers trade additional reasoning for lower latency and cost. Google also added that Gemini 3.5 Flash received targeted adversarial training for computer-use scenarios. The company is also offering safeguards that can require user confirmation before sensitive or irreversible actions and automatically stop a workflow when suspected prompt injection is detected. Its developer documentation describes configurable protections for areas such as financial transactions and changes to sensitive records. Google isn't the first to bring Computer Use to its platform. Anthropic has made computer control available through Claude, while OpenAI has continued improving computer-use performance in its recent models. Microsoft has also applied the concept to business workflows, including a Computer Use capability for the Researcher agent in Microsoft 365 Copilot.
