Battlefield 1 Gewehr 98 Sniper

[@Menethilchad]

Been watching for 6 yrs now you are still awesome

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

just under 6 months now

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

timmian85 are you okay?

[@Menethilchad]

I was just saying that im still watching. I dont have a beard nor do i have hipster glasses.

[@timmian85]

***** most hipsters cant grow beards, nor do they have jobs that afford them to buy hiipster glasses.

[@Menethilchad]

I see you have something up your ass and just trying to pick a fight. I can grow a pretty manly beard and im also doing just fine finances wise.

[@Zydrin]

The "No u" at the beginning in chat had me dying

[@1Fresh_Water]

edgar stirring the pot

[@shitoryu8]

I'm always in awe when I watch you play. I'm sure if the developers saw this they'd be pretty impressed with how you totally rock their game.

[@Adahop]

That is an incredible thumbnail, Ravic.

[@villishmyhperdel]

Been a subscriber for awhile now and love your cut screens to a new map/class in game. You put a lot of work in these videos and it is much appreciated. What I've noticed over the years is that you are a true battlefield player and you love the game as much as I do and and more. I understand that your channel might be the most popular of them all, but when a person just wants to watch what battlefield is at it's core with a top notch player... you are it. Keep it up. One loyal fan.

[@semperfi4687]

thats what years of gaming looks like. i need your god reflexes Lord Ravic

[@Ravic]

+timmian85 Either that is your troll account or YT sets "send message" to some off/hidden setting for new YT accounts. I tried to reply but the comment chain is gone or broken and I can't send a message if you disable that stuff.

[@timmian85]

Yeah, something is broken. I didnt get notified by this reply either, and the chain was gone from notifications.. Dunno whats going on. I dont have any alt accounts or forward messages or whateverthefuck you suspect i'm doing. You can probably find comments from me (this account) all the way back in your AT4 vids. Anyways, i was probably too antagonistic yesterday. Sorry. I wasnt trying to disparage your skill, as so much i wanted to highlight that there are other players out there at the same skill level as you. I argued poorly and rudely, and i apologise for being an asshole. I find, its difficult not to be an opinionated cunt in comment sections..

[@nikefiend-3878]

Ravic Can you do bf1 chat reactions ?

[@aviatorengineer3491]

Enemy: "The enemy team is a bunch of tryhards" Friendly: "Maybe you're just bad." Oh dayum. I never understood the point of calling somebody a tryhard. Isn't the point to.... try to win?

[@stovikz]

Been subscribed for about a year now, yet with every new video, the amount of skill you showcase still surprises me. Keep it up Ravic

[@usernamesrlamo]

That one at 12:08 though, always a pleasure watching the best

[@ry_an.]

I bet Ravic has never had a comeback bonus before

[@shanebravo2417]

I am always baffled by the skill of your sniping, whether it be Battlefield 1 or Battlefield 4. you are a true God with the sniper rifle... and the m16 in bf4.

[@TacoShuriken]

I love how he hardly talks. Really adds to the gameplay.

[@ghostinshadow450]

That headshot on sentry was one of the sickest headshot I've ever seen

[@eddygmanisme]

i love that smug little laugh at the end when you got that flare kill.

[@bryanfadlon9954]

I honestly think he's still really really good...it is true that he misses some shots but hey,he's a human,not a machine,everyone can make mistakes sometimes right? Anyway awesome sniper gameplay as always Ravic,good job.

[@hitman208]

Sniping is so satisfying in this game. Thank you dice

[@benhoresh9122]

The only youtuber without clickbait, thank you Ravic

[@Advection357]

Some Martini Henry gameplay later? :P

[@Ratman99373haknbf]

Advection357 Get martini'd xD

[@Wlodek1410]

Martini really men? One shoot kill shoot kill shoot kill, one shoot kill, one shoot kill, one shoot kill, shoot kill, shoot kill, one shoot kill. Really think thats interesting?

[@sublime929]

I see where you're coming from but also remember how it's one shot, wait 3 seconds to reload then one shot. You better not miss. Sure it sucks badly being one shot by a sweet spot gun or Martini but I haven't found it to be too op.

[@Advection357]

Fiinx Xi Get shaken & stirred :P

[@Advection357]

sublime929 Also the projectile is really slow... it's 1/2 the speed of other rifles.. like 400m/sec

[@DisorderInOrder]

that scream at 14:10 lol that's a blast from the past.

[@ChenChennesen]

0:38 bf needs to introduce like a wound system so movement is slowed, or the characters collapse when they get shot with a sniper. so ridiculous seeing people turn into bunnies the moment a bullet grazes them

[@mcgeiler3915]

16 minutes of pure entertaining! Thanks Rav :D

[@TheMancunianCandidate]

Great to watch as usual. I hope to see some Martini gameplay at some point, Mus1ck was good to watch with it earlier today.

[@ManOrWomanIDK]

Right on time dude, I was hoping you'd upload something soon.

[@canadiansike7389]

ravic I love your videos! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! (PS I love your little slowmo moments in your videos!)

[@sarachi2000]

A man after my own heart.

[@tominsk923]

man I must say you are the best player who I've seen

[@MagicPaddles]

good god the melee hit boxes sure are next gen

[@FrostysCute]

Playing against Ravic must be fucking terrifying

[@tubedud8190]

no doubt best battlefield player ever

[@kingswordisbodoubleS]

Dude i had to press the like button the moment you smacked the guy with the hatchet on the head... too sick

[@asimayoubi7082]

i love ravic he is the best

[@sublime929]

"met him" in a game...

[@timmian85]

I know for a fact that LVLcap is the best. By a yuge margin.

[@lovelyjubbly87]

Rebaa is i say best well at bf4 anyway. than all the rest are similar but diff playstyle. boogly_oglly, nickel. metal slug , ravic etc

[@AR-rk9nn]

timmian85 lol

[@beekydogg]

My favorite part of these videos is when someone in the chat goes: "RAVIC" lmfao golden

[@GrumpyStormtrooper]

For some reason I find BF4 videos more entrataining, you're still doing a great job here though, don't get me wrong.

[@PremiumChad]

is there anyone better than ravic at battlefield, like fr hes so good its scary

[@SuppliceVI]

isnt this the highest velocity round for snipers? it feels like a tossup between this and the springfield, though i love how the 98 feels.

[@IFarmBugs]

Ravic's current SPM is 1,1,31.

[@drumkombat161]

You ever notice that one of the character's screams sounds like a tie fighter?

[@Radvous]

A reason why you get some red hitmarkers maybe because the bullet hit an obstacle before hitting the head, the obstacle may decrease damage.

[@Marcus7339]

John Troy red is his headshot hit marker color. You can change the colors in the settings

[@Radvous]

Marcus7339 Yeah, I know

[@shortfuse3196]

ravic you are a underrated youtuber like some of these new youtubers don't even deserves a million........just saying good vid

[@morganf7310]

I am glad you see the t 90s lights as eyes the look so menacing

[@xxxmichael619]

that evil laugh in the end xD

[@SkY95179]

The best bf player that I have ever seen. Keep it up.

[@TheBronco1994]

I can't explain it but you defending F flag is like the most entertaining montage material I have ever seen

[@theManticore90]

I noticed that too, I had trouble with the Gewehr the first few times I tried using it compared to both the M1903 and the Russian 1895, flicking with it felt weird for some reason

[@MisterDesigner]

Why can you still see bullets inside the magazine when it's empty and you reload it? Like 9:28

[@oscarswaggie]

Mister maybe its an empty one or something

[@MisterDesigner]

Also, why do you use the 8x in the snipers? Even though I preferred them on BF4, I find it way too zoomed in on BF1. A 6x or 5x does the job for me, unless I expect some longer ranges.

[@MisterDesigner]

Oscar Lakhdar I thought about it, but I think it's just DICE being a bit lazy. I think there are 2 bullets in every animation, even when there's one bullet left: an animated bullet and a stationary bullet under it. I think the game only removes the animated one when you have zero bullets left.

[@oscarswaggie]

Mister ok

[@_ace_defective_]

Mister it's out of laziness. There's pretty good attention to detail in many areas, but in other areas they sorta slacked off. Ex: speedloaders for revolvers still have rounds in them after putting the rounds in. The MP412 REX from BF4 also had this at launch until I think the fall patch.

[@etienne5435]

Setup Tour will be great

[@MellowJustin]

How do you cancel the melee animation like in 2:07 ; Nice Video as normal

[@SFAMofficial]

Ravic the type of player to make the kolibri look good

[@thexophguy]

dear rabik , pls also do a trikshot montage , 360 noscopez , or 720 qwikscopinq ... k ?

[@KommandoKenny]

So Ravic when is Kolibri montage coming out? :)

[@arne1997]

7:15 did you just really get a headshot with only 95 damage?

[@Ravic]

As far as I can tell yes. The only other times I've legitimately seen a player survive a headshot from a sniper rifle in BF1 is when they were using the Calvary or Elite class pickups.

[@GrizzlyXStrait]

I've seen it on a fresh spawn, may have been spawn protection.

[@Xeptar]

God forbid I end up on the opposite team with Ravic.

[@dennispremoli7950]

Well, just came from Jacfrags video on a possible competitive Battlefield spinoff fro E sports. Ravic, youve been assigned the title for the forst 3 years of the tournament.

[@Ravic]

That video is like many he does, a sensationalist piece. It technically isn't lying or making stuff up and it gets the views so good for him. So far as I know nothing has changed with DICE and EA so I have serious doubts for that possibility. People forget so quickly the past, "In 6 months #BF4 is going to be not only one of the biggest but THE biggest FPS Competitive game to play", something similar was mentioned for BF3 by the same community manager but I believe it was posted in the old EA UK forums which were shutdown and buried long ago. Main things to remember are DICE usually chooses their words carefully and when they don't want to answer directly they will make it vague to the point where rumors, theories and hype is generated out of nothing. Also no idea what your second sentence is about.

[@dennispremoli7950]

***** Im just saying it would be cool. The idea is not bad. I dont care enough about this to check the sources

[@xTHEROOSTERSHOWx]

Ravic I believe his second sentence was implying that you're really quite good at Battlefield. The title meaning the competitive BF championship.

[@MrJAa85]

Oooh, looks like so much fun to snipe in this game! :)

[@eszajer]

Great video. Martini Henry gameplay soon?

[@mikehd6398]

I love Ravic's laugh

[@Somad68]

nerf ravic

[@johnv9854]

maybe make him play with an eye patch

[@losilluminatiscriu6880]

+John V he will become big boss

[@itsutterz6674]

pass the salt you could take his left arm and he would still shit on people.

[@dinxsy8069]

I really hope they sort out the headshot damage, what's the point of a headshot if it doesn't 1 bang anymore. Amongst the other fixes needed that is.

[@dinxsy8069]

Epicice 520 How so? it's always been 1 hit headshots, and it still is it's just broke. When recon is played aggressively like Rav and myself it evens out against the semi/auto weapons.

[@Dyfcom21]

i dont know, the Sens of the 8x Scope is so diffrent to bf3/bf4

[@Vitty]

Ravic, do you think BF1 is enjoyable for a long period of time? I find it to become really stale after only a few hours of gameplay and watching footage is even worse. You're a big exception to the rule, but i avoid BF1 content all together purely because its making me feel stagnant (if thats the right word to use). Like, there's no real "goal / purpose" to it. Just run / gun and whatever.

[@Ravic]

I was bored of BF1 during the alpha. I play with friends to keep myself interested in it. The change to Conquest really did brake the game for some. It really drives home the "there is no real goal / purpose" you mentioned because the outcome is very predictable and there isn't really any opportunities for those rounds where a team comes back from an impossible ticket difference. It's one of three outcomes. One: Team dominates maintaining a lead that makes any Behemoth a minor annoyance. Two: The ticket count is very close but just far enough to spawn a Behemoth for the team that is losing allowing them to dominate the rest of the map. Three: The team with more tickets purposely keeps the ticket count close in order to prevent the Behemoth from spawning and allowing them to win. In all cases the round lasts way longer than it should and it's manipulated to be that way by the changes DICE made to the Conquest game mode. There are still so many broken game mechanics and unbalance issues I'm surprised people have continued to ignore them simply because it's a pretty game. For a comparison on that thought BF4's launch while rough for some had less bugs/glitches/exploits than BF3's launch and BF3 had major issues with disconnects and crashes in the middle of comp matches months after the game was released. But because BF4 didn't have or show a significant upgrade in "graphics" people shamed it from beginning to end. Because of some game mechanics there is less freedom in BF1 for certain classes so there is less of the play the way you want to play mentality that made repeat gaming in previous Battlefield titles work so well. There is simply less of that in this game so it gets stale faster. New maps won't fix that and new modes tied to DLC maps will simply make it worse. Looking forward to seeing if they make that mistake again.

[@DP-qm6qe]

Ravic They also made the revolvers suck ass, hurts a lot. :(

[@xcrossTV]

I could talk 10 minuts about why I don´t like Bf1, but to sum it up I feel like Battlefield 1 is a good game, but a really bad Battlefield.

[@Ravic]

The beta build versions of the pistols were amazing to the point they caused certain classes to use their sidearms more than their main weapons ( Medic ). That is likely one of the reasons why they made all pistols "suck ass" in the release build.

[@sebastianmartinez7757]

h3h3_Shade you said exactly what i was thinking

[@DiegoShadowsOficial]

Ravic, you and FrankieonPc are friends? i love your videos and i come here for the Frankie chanel! You know him in the real life? Thanks Ravic, you is a machine of kills! :D

[@timmian85]

Honestly, i've been subscribed to Ravic for 19 years, and its clear to me that LVLcap is a much better player. Not only is he better at building Lego, but he has flawless aim, comms and demeanor. Always calm under preasure reciting Symthic stats to his well earned 9 million subscribers who knows better to go to that site due to malware and LiveJasmin pop-ups.

[@bY7zx]

I had no idea you were Macie Jay this whole time!

[@ProblmSolvd]

Still prefer the marksman variants, easier to PTFO and makes counter sniping harder to... counter due to no glare. I was okay with the smoke trail introduced with BC2, but the scope glare that BF3 brought in is fucking awful.

[@job_97]

It's funny because I made a comment in game about how so many snipers just lay down making easy counter snipe targets and my own team just called all butt hurt when I said it. But sadly it's so true.

[@z11mbabve]

oy wey, i'm not the only one who have soapy graphics like that.

[@THR33SIXX3MPYR]

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the spread mechanics and the intentional breaking of snipers by DICE. I've heard people defending the changes and I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

[@Ravic]

It's DICE's game they can do what they want with it. If they want to change things up they certainly can. I would just prefer more consistency across all classes with regards to some of those mechanics.

[@THR33SIXX3MPYR]

Ravic That's my main gripe is the changes were applied with seemingly no balance. They affect some weapons more than others.

[@JackTheRipperSquid]

Hey dude, I have put off buying BF1 because I was so unhappy with the balance, map design and overall game of BF4. Do you think BF1 was worth the buy? It looks pretty and the gun play looks satisfying however, that was really all that BF4 had going for it too.

[@simpsonwave5950]

Great weapon, you can dominate with it once you get the hang of it.

[@manumilano9344]

the best pro fps gamer ever!!!!!

[@Y34RZERO]

I dont own the game yet but this was my second favorite rifle in beta with no scope. first favorite was the Russian winchester with iron sights. I dominated a round of rush with it. I prefer iron sights

[@1alexnewman]

Ravic, do you play with EdgarAllenPwned a lot? Im pretty sure I know him. Any chance you know if he plays a game called War Thunder at all? And great gameplay as usual, but I can see your boredom in this game, it was fun and excited at first but its obviously now taken its toll. :/

[@sublime929]

I like watching you play, aggressive sniping is how I played BF3 (BF4 sucked so I didn't play). Now I stick to the medic class because I favor their weapons and being able to help team mates by reviving is a plus. I would be much more impressed however if you showed videos where you did well on a team that was getting dominated. All of the game clips you just showed your team was crushing the other team, easy to have good games then. It's obvious you are a good gamer just saying...

[@Hobonipples]

Kinda hard for him to upload games where he's being dominated when there are several people who follow/stalk his servers so they can be on his team and dominate the other team with the stack. It's not his fault, it's just how it is most of the time.

[@TehhLeviathan]

sublime929 "bf4 sucked" ????????

[@sebastianwalder2498]

14:11 is that the fast zombie sound of half-life 2

[@Cicero....]

always over the top

[@DerlChur]

Any tips to help become a good sniper? I see you almost never miss, is it because you lead really good, or is it the magnification? lol

[@Wlodek1410]

15:19 ahhh you got him

[@cameron7336]

hey ravic when playing the sniper class and facing an elite you can switch to k bullets and 2 shot them to the head from 100 health

[@FuzzyPinkPolarBears]

One day I'll have the aim Ravic has.

[@kiyoshisan9425]

i love your vids Ravic

[@seanduffy7071]

wow unbelievable I think he even reloads better than me

[@EWPBPSstealth]

Damn you're a beast at this game

[@Fjewt]

1:31 i like that guy spelling ;) xd

[@AjinkyaBorade]

love it. Hope you are playing this on PC.

[@royblekman8186]

Ravic do you have a video about your gaming pc setup?

[@robles634]

Roy Blekman nope never seen one but you can check his set up on twitch

[@zuzmju]

what is his twitchchannel name?

[@robles634]

zuzmju blackmesatech

[@elliotgodinez3115]

Roy Blekman his friend mus1k i think has a better setup which he has a photo of on his twitch

[@TheKims82]

He plays on an Ipod Touch 8GB.

[@Y34RZERO]

What's your opinion of the different sight options between having a marksman, infantry, and sniper variant. Do you gravitate to one over the other, is it depending on firearm you are using, and do you adjust sensitivity for different power optics?

[@Ravic]

For any weapon outside of the bolt-action rifles category I'd take the Sniper/Marksman variant for the cleaner easier to see scope especially on the medic weapons because they still have not addressed the ridiculous muzzle smoke when firing them. However DICE went out of their way to make it so you couldn't choose what sight you can equip on any given weapon so there are some weapons I'll never use simply because I can't get a variant for it with the right scope/sight.

[@brcc508]

I don't know anyone as good as Ravic with a sniper...

[@sinythic426]

do you mean "you don"t know anyone as good as Ravic" because Ravic is hella beastmode when it come to BF series

[@ricma9710]

stodeh is better

[@Ravic]

Literally anyone can do well with the sniper rifles in BF1. They took away all the difficulty in using them with this Battlefield so everyone gets to look amazing.

[@brcc508]

***** Yes but you already kicked ass in BF4 and BF1 haha

[@ricma9710]

***** you are soo right

[@roamintheslums4851]

I'll never understand how you ONE SHOT everybody. When I use a sniper I'm actually just better off using a fucking marshmallow gun.

[@2ndToLast501]

@Ravic just a question, why do you never dial in your sights? Is it super easy for you to just aim a little higher? Or is there no real advantage?

[@Supperdude9]

Man, Ravic it would be great to be in your squad.

[@notERICkmetz]

So how about a kolibri only massacre in the future?

[@nikolamuz]

it was really bloody awesome! I love it👍

[@theMenno4000]

Hey Ravic how well can you play with ironsights, like on the infantry variants of sniper rifles in bf1? I see you using the BAR in the telescopic setup and was wondering if you had a general distaste in the scopeless weapons bf1 provides. love to hear your thoughts on this cheers m8

[@Ravic]

If people have no issues with me playing at low graphics settings I have no issues with using irons. However since I'm not playing comp and the game is quite pretty I figure I should make the effort to record at the higher graphics settings. That being said some of the effects can make lower optics and more visibly obstructing sights more difficult to use so I avoid using them and instead use the ones like the telescopic BAR.

[@BFViking]

This sniper is so sick, i went 50 and 4 with it on Sinai

[@BFViking]

Thiago Carlos Did i say i was better?

[@GarageHaruo]

man I wish I could aim like that. I do pretty well with a controller but can get that quick pinpoint accuracy. also wish I had a team like yours, I'd probably be level 10 with scout and support class

[@Nozoga0422]

2:05 brutal bro

[@redfox0141]

I'm still waiting for the nerf of ravic

[@bwer123gt]

whole team would just snipe in operation or rush mode. I remember the same thing in BC2, yet less annoying. If you are at the very least good at older battlefield games, you would have no problem boosting your stat in operation mode.

[@steigervincent6070]

Ravic, can i ask you why you do not play Cs:Go rainbow six, overwatch or anything like these? And making videos about them? It could be awesome
