Had one of my best games yesterday (25-15 I think) on Scene(sp?) Crossing Conquest. The M249 (the support class gun) with Increased Mag attachment allowed me to mow down 5-6 players without a reload muahaha.

Was that one of the servers you were on with me? I saw you on last night on a few maps but dont remember.

Thats really frustrating.

It was my first game of the night and it broke my whole temprament. :(

Yeah this happens to me, after that I don't feel like playing anymore :-(

Tried to stick a few C4s on a jeep to use it as a weapon against a tank and just couldn't do it. The C4 wasn't sticking to the jeep. Was just falling through it (the vehicle) to the ground.

Was there some silent client/server patch that I wasn't aware of, or it was just the server I played on?

I did this yesterday and it worked just fine, as well as jets and helicopters ^_^

Has the way you unlock the co-op guns been changed? One of my friends says he has the G36c and the MP-412 REX, but he's adamant he never played co-op. Have they been changed so they can be unlocked through online play, is it a bug in his favor, or has it perhaps been someone else playing on his account? I played one mission of co-op and I thought that was enough, to be honest.

DICE was planning to reduce the points needed for unlocks in co-op but nothing has been said that you can unlock stuff without playing it at all. And G36 isn't a co-op unlock...

I must have mixed the G36 up with the G3 then. :s

Really? It took me a grand total of about 3 hours to unlock every gun in co-op. That's annoying.

Iv given up playing tonight now, finished a map with 11000 points + 8000 in ribbons and 10,000 an award, as it starts loading the next level i decide to quit and seems my points/stats have not been updated, so seems iv lost out on 30,000, things like this really annoy me, twice this has happened!

Also having a look at my my battle reports and profile page it would appear i havent played for at least 2 days :s which isnt right, played probs around 10 games since then! even my level has gone up twice in that period!

I don't like SCAR-H.

I mean I have heard a lot of praise about the gun and all that but I don't know what is wrong here.

Maybe the large recoil, maybe the low rate-of-fire or maybe the bad ergonomics :p

Playing Enngineer with PP-2000 lately, and this gun is AWESOME

It takes some time to update the stats

it usually doesn't .. but for the last two days yes, battlelog doesn't update itself properly. But you don;t lose any XP

Still no patch to fix this "drrrrr" crashing in multiplayer. Enjoying playing the co-op as its unlocking stuff for mp, but wish I could get on it to play it :(

No crashing here ... must be the server you play on. All the good servers I played on are in my favorites.

I heard the same thing. Eventually when I did try it out, it was a little crappy. Then it got much better once I unlocked the RDS for it. From the the rest as you is history. Still prefer the A-91 or G36C.

And the PP-2000 sucks ass, nothing like the PP in BC2 :(

Stats for me have always been realtime, live and instant. That's what I REALLY like about Battlelog.

Hmm... I unlocked the Reflex sight and now it seems to be performing better.

A-91 on the way.

For me PP-2000 is a good one. Haven't played BC2 so can't comment on that.

Stats for me have always been realtime, live and instant. That's what I REALLY like about Battlelog.

The delay is merely some seconds.

    • Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet

      By Fiza Ali · Posted

      Beats Studio Pro wireless over-ear ANC headphones drop to their lowest price yet by Fiza Ali Amazon is currently offering the Beats Studio Pro headphones at their all-time low price. The Studio Pro use 40mm active drivers which are designed to improve clarity and reduce distortion compared to previous models, with up to an 80% improvement over the Beats Studio3 Wireless. A built-in digital processor adjusts frequency response to keep the sound balanced rather than overly boosted in any one area. They also include Active Noise Cancelling that adapts to your surroundings to reduce background noise along with a Transparency mode that lets outside sound in when you need awareness of what’s going on around you. Furthermore, the headphones support personalised Spatial Audio with dynamic head tracking as well as Dolby Atmos playback on supported content. Moreover, built-in voice-targeting microphones improve call quality. You can also switch between three sound profiles including Beats Signature for balanced music playback, Entertainment for films and gaming, and Conversation for clearer voice in calls and podcasts. Physically, they are designed to be worn for long periods without feeling heavy or awkward. The ear cushions use UltraPlush engineered leather while metal sliders allow you to adjust the fit. On the connectivity side, the Studio Pro use Class 1 Bluetooth for a stable, long-range wireless connection. There is also a 3.5mm input if you want to plug in directly, including use with in-flight entertainment systems. Controls are located on the headphones and include a "b" button for music and call control, a volume rocker, and a multifunction button used for switching listening modes, EQ settings, power, and pairing. In addition, the headphones offer integration with both Apple and Android devices. On Apple devices, they support one-touch pairing with iCloud-linked devices, hands-free Siri access, Find My tracking based on last connected location, and automatic software updates. On Android devices, they support Google Fast Pair, Audio Switch between compatible devices, and Google Find My Device tracking, with additional features available through the Beats app. When it comes to the battery performance, it is rated at up to 40 hours of listening time with ANC turned off, and up to 24 hours with ANC or Transparency mode enabled. A 10-minute Fast Fuel charge should provide up to 4 hours of playback. Finally, the headphones use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and charge via USB-C.

      "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.
