Battlefield 3 Weapon Review - L85A2

[@zygas25]

the one thing i hate about this gum is u have to win 5 squad deathmatch rounds to unlock it. everytime i look for one i get stuck on a terrible team or the search cant find one

[@tempestjay7865]

This is my favorite assault rifle in game and in real life hands down!!!

[@istvankiss3776]

So as mine

[@eeeeeeee7535]

You were in the military?

[@mnx6599]

Tempest Jay how can i get it?

[@murphboys]

i really like your gun reviews, unlike other reviewers, you go past the stats almost completely and tell me if it is a gun i should be using.

[@Bullet4MyEnemy]

It's all about using the ELCAN and heavy barrel. Largely because it's as close as you can get to the real set up =[ Why you no SUSAT, RIS, or ACOG with Hornbill mount DICE?!

[@Sevoverkill]

yeah, I agree, I usually hang back on maps like metro or bazaar and run around reviving and supporting my team with medpacks and accurate medium range range fire.

[@gaupau]

Great advice. I just used the standard grenade launcher. The problem that most people are having trouble towards unlocking the L85A2 is the "Win 5 Squad deathmatch" rounds. I'd advise having 2 medics and 2 engineers ( If one, make sure the other is support, recon isn't too smart. ) on your team. It's tough though because the game mode isn't common and if you join a game, you'll 87% most likely be sent to the losing team. Took a while but worth it, beast weapon.

[@wilddcoyote]

this is one of the few guns that stood out to me when i first used it. great video as always guys :)

[@TopSecretName]

Finally unlocked this yesterday. Only took me 13 years. Great video!

[@SgtTarkov]

Is it just me, or are the Karkand weapons mostly also the weapons from the Killzone series? I know that the guns from Killzone are inspired by real-life guns and I was so thrilled with getting them in this expansion. Especially the L85 (aka M82) and the PP-19 (aka Sta11)!

[@NSporsche]

@jvc003 no the original one was the enfield xl64 which was in black ops, this is the new l85a2 which is now made by hk due to some minnor defalts in the a1 veriant

[@mbfipr]

@Skater550 no it's the L85A2 from the British army, the LSW is the fire support version

[@SHOOTEgy]

MAN, I WAS SO BORED OF BF3 BUT YOUR REVIEWS MADE ME GO TRY OUT SOME NEW WEAPONS THNX ALOT FOR THE REVIEW

[@dannysuperful]

You guys have really helped me out in BF3, and I always stay regularly updated for one of your fantastic weapon reviews. I am unhappy with the rude gestures that come from noobs raging about what you say in your reviews, you must be thinking, "Excuse me for saying the truth!"

[@silnin]

Gotta say guys: Your weapon review video's have been very helpful to me! Thanks for sharing!

[@lilItalia93]

Do you guys think that Foregrip is even necessary? I would think that that would nerf it's ability since it doesn't really have much horizontal spread on its own.

[@HadesWTF]

Lol I still don't have this because of Squad Deathmatch. Maybe I'll go out for it now. I have to say I like listening to you guys commentate on the weapons. I'm glad that InTheWorks posted you on his channel.

[@MerseYattle]

i found for me that the HBAR sometimes fuxx it up in CQC hipfiring situations and on longer distances im doing well w/o it, so i dont use HBAR silencer is good for this gun, flash supressor not needed tbh(low vertical recoil anyways), grip is no need aswell so maybe put on the laser and silencer for flanking and CQC, otherwise run naked with maximum 3.4 sight, i prefer the iron sight

[@splinter360]

You'd also get a face full of hot casings. Also did he say it was left handed? I didn't hear him.

[@TheWolverine1333]

A great way to win SQDM is on Crossing is to set up in the middle building. It has a good view of C and D of conquest. Go in as a support and C18 the stairs. But the best way is doing it with team work and getting the veichle.

[@Calgarylames]

Same thing here but its instakill status made up for the high rate of fire. With the damage lessened it is even less of an option for me

[@spiropedamort]

Kind of an odd suggestion, but you guys should give an overview of the upcoming patch. The update is on symthic.com and it'd be cool to hear your impressions, what you think is noteworthy (besides the blessed frag round nerf), and how your weapon customizations might change.

[@aeropostale101nw]

I agree Snoov, looking down and taking out your defibs can be time consuming at times.

[@gavincayan4284]

depends on your play style if your more of a run and gun i would suggest the AUG A3 if your more of a long range play style camping and taking out targets from further away i would suggest the L85A2 but in my personal opinion I have no trouble outperforming other players in CQB with the L85A2

[@Bunters196]

Because I'm not, my family WAS. Then I moved to another location in the UK. Was going to move to Ireland but thought it would be too awkward with all the currency changes etc...

[@TheManFromSokoto]

Took me three days of straight play to unlock this, and I was not disappointed. Phenomenal accuracy, even without Heavy Barrel. I haven't had this kind of success with an assault rifle since the pre-patch FAMAS. Definitely worth the grind.

[@sillyslapper92]

Correct me if I'm worng but the British Armed Forces are slowly replacing the old SUSAT with Elcan and/or ACOG hybrid optics.

[@gavincayan4284]

In the the new CLOSE QUARTERS map pack you get the L86A2 the machine gun version of this gun that shoots at 750rpm and with 45+1 bullets per mag which can be increased to a total of 60+1 bullets per mag with the extended mag attachment but not as low recoil and accurate as the L85A2 (Get premium totally worth it)

[@errerreerr]

You guys should review the Saiga 12K. I like the gun, but never ever see it get used.

[@tim7780e]

try finding a good close quarters map like norshar canals where enemies are more likely to be close together

[@NiveousKitten]

@SHuSTYBANG Speaking of patching, are you guys going to do a follow up (in some cases a follow up of a follow up) reviews of all the weapons again once the patch hits?

[@FlyItaliano]

I just unlocked this gun today. I love it good damage, reload time is great, good iron sight. Only thing is that the recoil seems to be noticeable is that just me or is there medium to high recoil on the gun.

[@EmboEmbo]

This weapon is BEAST, I loved using it even before I found your weapon reviews,and I love using it even more after I saw this video (for some reason :P )

[@Xxharry210xX]

Thanks for tge reviews. These have turned me on to many guns i never thought about using. Thanks for the vids and keep it up

[@MRmvpballer1011]

doesn't this gun have a light machine gun version or this is the LMG if you just put the drum magazine.?

[@Seanem44]

PP-2000 next. As per the review, thanks. Guess I can wait to pursue it, having the equally-rated FAMAS. Keep them coming, enjoying all these reviews.

[@tbrowniscool]

im military trained on this rife and there is no rail system on the front grip and no burst mode...

[@S4SK__1]

in some ways i kinda rock in closed quarters with this thing. thinkin about quitting on my m416 42 stars beats and go to the l85 cause i need something new and the underslung rail + shotgun thing is extremely noobish now..

[@terminator239]

I was hoping if you guys can do a review on my personal favorite the M60E4

[@Darkhouse999]

@SHuSTYBANG USAS replaced the Striker after they patched the shotguns. It got a buff. IW just announced their 5th(maybe 4th) FMG9 patch. They can't seem to understand the problem with the weapon is it can be akimbo'd. But all of that, I can deal with. They need to fix lag comp.

[@RebelSword]

I'm just trying the AN-94 now seems pretty accurate, Just need the muzzle flash attachment to lower the recoil a bit.

[@PanSkrzetuski]

Have you guys done the PDW-R? I would like to see that.

[@Jellyisamazing]

Depends on the situation, I like the Flash suppressor for some reason, makes the recoil non existent literally, and I normally use the HB with other guns. It is mainly for medium range though, so heavy barrel does make it god like, its hard to say I've got 8* with this gun it works amazing with both, but I'd say flash suppressor

[@VanillaLoaf]

5/5, grip, heavy barrel, rds/holo depending on how close the map is (holo has a little zoom)... awesome gun.

[@mnx6599]

how can i get this gun 2017 xbox 360

[@megnus3rs]

Premium

[@XxshughesxXReturns]

I'm about 2/3rds of the way to unlocking this weapon i just need the grenade launcher kills! One question which Grenade launcher do you use, the under-barrel one or the hand held M320? Because i'm using the AEK-971 with a scope and a silencer and i'm quiet close to unlocking the Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher!

[@jaredneedsalife]

tell me about it. I set up a 60 ticket server for quick SQDM games. The way I got it though was kind of cheating as I just skipped into different games until I got on an already winning squad or went in a partially full server and switched onto the winning team. Go into enough games and you will find a game ending and hopefuly get put on the winning squad. If you are like me I hate this mode generally (the damn IFV is a pain) and this was the most painless way to unlock this awesome gun.

[@HamoodyDarbaDoody]

ahh sorry guys but i think you got a fact wrong :( the heavy barrel increases bullet spread whilst the laser decreases it. aka heavy = bad hip fire; laser = good hip fire. heavy barrel makes you do more minimum damage. like at a distance, but increases recoil. laser makes u more accurate at a distance (and hip fire) but no damage change.

[@thomasstewart7445]

I'm having a hard time wining 5 rounds of squad deathmatch because there are so many lvl 100 that play it now and I'm only cornel lvl 3.

[@Seanem44]

On a diff. Topic, One thing I did not see in the patch.... Anyone else find it annoying having to ditch a helo out of bounds, close to the battlefield only to die? I think the timer should start when you hit the ground, not in the air. Give people a chance to get in bounds as not always do you jump in bounds.

[@shwanrasoul]

with the grenade launcher, does it have to be on an underslung rail or standalone

[@McHucknul]

I adore this gun, and find it usefull in any situation. My preffered attatchments are PK-A 3.4 Scope, Heavy Barrel and a Bi-Pod. The gun's fantastic

[@TheInsane350]

Can't go wrong with this gun.. just got it and have only unlocked the first sights upgrade which have a bit too much zoom for CQ, still very good though!

[@MaroonBugUK]

Can you do the An-94 Abakan; its like the L85; the stats are not as good as other assualt rifles, but it seems amazing! I used its two round burst with a bipod and a x7 PSO and its just wonderful.

[@NFSMWrules815]

WOW DUDE I DEFINITLY SUBBED! this by far has been the best BF3 info video i have ever seen. Thanks for posting on my channel to check your vids, these videos are the best i have ever seen. You guys are amazing! I am just so astounded! i have never seen duel weapon review commentators and rating or the gun. wow truly amazing, i cant think of anything else to say about u guys. :D could you do the MK3A1 or the MP7?

[@katyevaw]

Tied for my favourite gun in the game. I pretty much never panic fire so even in CQ it's effective and it allows you to shoot a sniper in the face more than almost any other gun. Good close-to-long range gun. If I'm playing a bigger map though, I switch to the G3A3. Two very good guns if you're less about shooting from the hip.

[@EvEOnlinelover]

I think it's a reference to one of FPS Russia's videos where he fires an SA-80.

[@Quiverson]

Can u give us a tip on how to easily win SQDM? That mode really is a pain in the ass to do and I don't agree with what Dice made us do just to get the damn gun.

[@dhruvster10]

I so wish this was in the support class, with a bigger mag! I love this weapon but I can't find any weapons that suit me in the support class!

[@vesperiaLSU]

@DocPolarBear Thumb up for this guy! I also would like to see the KH2002 review, especially after the latest patch getting released which will fix the burst shot jam issue. As for your question, this gun is as accurate as a semiautomatic rifle and has much less recoil comparing to other assault rifles based on my own experience.

[@roelvandenakker7519]

i think its a bit hard to win a sqdm round. cause, not much servers are with it, and the server who got this rounds + modes on it, they are much empty what to do?

[@Sh4d0wStr1k3r96]

I love to use it with acog and heavy barrel for long ranges !

[@Bombreaker3]

Hey bro, any possibility of you reviewing the G3A3? I'd like to see if it's worth the Co-op Effort.

[@MrWemo09]

Ive actually used this gun in real life and i found out it was on bf3 i sacked off the m416 and tried it out - it rapes face. Everything down to the muzzle flash is similar and i love it. Rockin flash suppressor foregrip and pka scope and its a laser beam. Remind anyone of acr from mw2?

[@BigJonas7]

This is my favourite gun without a doubt. Never have I performed so well with any other gun! It's just perfect!

[@Worthywarrior]

Flash Suppressor and Fore-grip, Red-dot or holo-sight

[@Rey123Duncan]

just a side note..grip isnt as good for l85a2 post patch then it was in this video(pre-patch)..heavy barrel is still a solid choice though :D i currently use RDS and heavybarrel with it..have over 2000kills with it 8) like 900 from prepatch, 1000 post patch

[@davidabot]

you guys should do a attachment in-depth video.

[@okie1011]

how accurate is it, and how well does it perform against multiple enemies at different ranges, and how does it compare to the famas and f2000?

[@Zumii]

One of the best assault rifles imo. I like to use an ACOG and heavy barrel with it, and it should get even better when the next patch hits and heavy barrel gets an upgrade.

[@TheChimpmagnet]

Because it's a bullpup you can move faster while aimed down sights.

[@circleoflight2]

i loved this gun in bf2 and now its just as accurate at mid range, which is my normal range. good review.

[@okie1011]

Thanks for that. What do you think about the M416? I think it might be a bit more flexible given its higher ROF

[@TheManFromSokoto]

Not really. Most countries opt to either create local copies of the weapon or buy it outright. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Countries who use the M16 often want a rifle that operates with closed sights like the Picatinny rail the M16 uses. Likewise, countries who have used the AK want open-rail sights. It makes training much easier in the event of logistical problems, where one must use local copies rather than AK's or M16's.

[@COdrums4life]

Well I did not know that as I would of never touched that gun since my experience before the patch. Thanks for the insight, I may have to try this gun out once again

[@TheManFromSokoto]

Because those countries set the standard for weapons manufacturing. The first 7.62mm Soviet round was first introduced into Soviet rifles at the end of WW2. The 5.56 NATO round was first used in the AR-10 (the grandfather of the M16 and subsequent variants). Originally, the premier rifle round was .303 Lee-Enfield. Colt and Kalashnikov are still the standards for manufacturing weapons

[@Baguette47]

Hey guys, I want to give you some advice. For the under slung grenade launcher, You can use any grenade launcher. Use the M320 BUCK. It claims to be buckshot, it's actually flechette, and it works like a freakin slug shotgun. It got me trough the challenge fast.

[@bob6784558]

Do you know how to get this easy because i cant find a stdm match with people that have the same lvl as me im always put on the losing team and have to drag...

[@AQWEzioTomas]

Use a foregrip with this gun and you'll be beasting it, my preferred attachments are Holographic sights, fore grip, and heavy barrel(sometimes suppressor if I want to play stealthy)

[@WhoNeedsRambo]

Which one's better, I've nearly got the assignment and I decided to not use a foregrip as rubino7x7 said it fucks up the accuracy at longer range which is true but which attachment is better?

[@14Hedlund]

Does this mean that you haft to have Back to Karkland map pack...

[@Cbob972]

hey snoov I was thinking about getting a dlc and I dont have premium, and I was wondering what dlc would be the best for new weapons and assignments? -Bob

[@Agent1W]

The "Anti-SR" AR, for when you want to punish and troll snipers. Make sure you have at least the HBAR, switch to single-fire mode, and aim for the lens reflection...

[@Samsunaattori]

please do m60 and m240b AFTER the next patch, cos they are going to be buffed as 3 shot killing weapons

[@waldirguerra33]

You guys should do an MG36 weapon review if you haven't made it yet.

[@MEGALODONGERS]

@SnakebitLegend From what I'm able to gather, the AK-74M will have about six times the amount of built-up vertical recoil after a second than the L85A2.

[@Azure740]

I actually found this gun to be good with an ACOG sight,grip, and a heavy barrel and assault with my teammates.Not getting very close,though.I just sit back a couple of feet and help from medium range.

[@matthewmc2312]

where do you get all the info on how to unlock the guns??

[@Defenders0fCreation]

@SHuSTYBANG what kind of info can you give on patches? what snipers etc. and of course the usas12. is every gun being patched? or just a few?

[@jaaarbas]

you don't need to have premium, just the close quarters expansion. And yeah, the ACW-R is a very good gun if you know how to use it.

[@CoolAdamDK]

Are u guys gonna review the G3A3?

[@IchigoUchiha21]

I'm not sure why, but the overall attitude of people on your reviews is very (perhaps) troll-like. I personally love the videos, and just want to say thanks for them! Really wish people would give you more respect for just being honest.

[@vesperiaLSU]

L85A2 has been my go-to assault class weapon ever since its release! It took me a whole week to unlock it (you know why...) but it definitely paid off.

[@MrJoshyguy]

How comes on this it allows you to have it on three-round bursts?

[@Taz20005]

You guys seem to have a similar play style to me, mainly bc I agree with you reviews exactly. Anyways, what all kit weapon do you recommend for aggressive recon? I prefer those low ROF weapons. Right now I use PDR, and UMP 45.

[@tylerm678]

attach your under slung rail and yous use the normal grenade launcher and it should automatically become an underslung nade launcher

[@DeaththeKiddtk1]

how do i unlock the underslung nade launcher??? i dont even see it

[@lordkira9791]

4.5/5... it's one of my favorites but by the rating do you guys actually believe...actaully believe it's one of the best ARs or best guns? Along with the M16a3, AEK, and what not?

[@Sgtpenguin47]

Can you do a long video where you have all the guns and rank them from worst to best in each class? In your opinion ofc.

[@denniszaidman2089]

SQDM wins took a while but it was absolutely worth it, love this gun.

[@largedietpepsi22]

Mad that foregrip affects aimed fire and somehow silencers make it have even more reoil :0
