Battlefield 4 - Pro Tips: Basic Tactics 101 (Mini-map, Reloading & Cover)

[@SirLurkington]

My problem isn't my tactics... My problem is my world record for most worst timing situations of all time. 9 out of 10 times, I get killed because an enemy rounds the corner I literally just checked.

[@3dgaming82]

hiptochromniack I feel you bruh

[@BillyBobby123]

God, I thought I only had bad timing. I always spawn and a enemy is there waiting. or I spawn in a helicopter and it instantly gets blown down

[@SirLurkington]

Combatsmithen Through planters, around corners, through shipping containers... the list contains every object in the game.

[@SirLurkington]

Combatsmithen I haven't played on DICE servers since pretty much a week after launch.

[@ewansmith6188]

+jim bond good advice:)

[@TrickyCarp]

Pro tip #1: If you are a freaking support give out ammo.

[@AwkwardNT]

Pro tip #2: Don't camp in a fucking doorway.

[@GAMAYNGAPRINCIPE]

Pro Tip 3: Don't set up a tent during a firefight

[@karl95hansson]

Pro tip #4 Never knife from the front, ~95% chance of getting stabbed by enemy

[@elijahd.1340]

Pro tip #5 WATCH THOSE WRIST ROCKETS

[@TheDoubtfulEarth]

Temple Banshee good one

[@FallenPatta]

"I'm able to win that firefight because of... Skill." - LevelCap 2014

[@Nexen4Games]

Laughed at that too.. though it is true haha :D

[@lhutch0619]

lol

[@whothou]

"My Aim is off today guys." *Lands all shots when aiming down sights*

[@FREDSDEADBABE]

I'm not even half as good as LevelCap

[@FREDSDEADBABE]

***** How long you been playing? I've been playing it for like a couple weeks, Battlefield 4, that is.

[@MinecraftMed343]

Freddy Fairlane Im not a fourth as good.

[@iAmTeesmo]

***** now before you read this, I'm not trying to start an argument, insult you, or say you're lying. But have you ever played against him, because if not I don't see how you can compare skill with someone.

[@thualfiqaral-hindawi2993]

yeah xD

[@Baythoven851]

These tips actually seem like they'd be very effective. I'm going to make an attempt to try them next time I play. Thanks LevelCap.

[@asurastorm8566]

This video reminds me of that Battlefield Friends episode.

[@RaiderNic99]

"Strategy is still a massive part of first person shooters." Someone should tell my team that every time I play Battlefield. Flanking is almost always ruined by Commander UAVs, which are hilariously overpowered being able to be launched every 5 to 10 seconds.

[@ImmortalArcher]

Not even sure why the commander is in BF4.

[@Moshpitti]

It's not that it can be used every 10 seconds, but the fact that it can be used back to back. There's like a 2 second cooldown from the previous UAV expiring. Funny thing is, even on paper that sounds obviously stupid and completely broken, but still managed to be put into the game without a second thought. Gotta love DICE.

[@TheSpartan180]

Working with your commander to get an EMP UAV in your area helps but the cooldown time is just too long.

[@diapersoft99]

they should have a pole and ask the community if they want to remove commander mode

[@ACanadianDude]

IGenocide Considering it's their only way to market BF4 to tablet owners I doubt they'll attempt such a thing.

[@ComputersAreRealCool]

Great Video! The tip on when to look at your minimap is really helpful, I generally look at it every 2 or 3 seconds, which end up with me not seeing the enemy walking around a corner, and dying.

[@BrigapesNardo]

Exactly my point.

[@Kold2012]

mini map? Hardcore or nothin

[@billyashworth3944]

I can't. Always play on hardcore. Easier to shoot people and sometimes more challenging but I hate normal

[@FOXTR0T1]

I'm in the army (11B) and its mind blowing to me that 99% of the tactics you talk about are applicable to real combat. Honestly we train on all the things you said. Obviously I can't check a mini map, although that would be awesome, but taking a moment every few seconds to orient yourself and be situationally aware is something we train to do. Pie-ing corners, keeping within a second of cover, using the right equipment for the right situation...etc. It's all stuff we do in real life, and yeah it's basic but when the shit hits the fan if you execute the basic tasks and drills perfectly you are almost guaranteed to survive and win.

[@benjamingrissom2196]

Yep, Battlefield is known for being way more realistic than Call of Duty. Also, thank you for your service bro :)

[@lieuwedewolf2476]

Its really impresive if you think abou how it' "just" a game.

[@OneLordeAnimeClips]

Thanks for your service :) Just realized I was a year late to reply, but better late than never.

[@BigChungus378]

With the way the military is spending money it's only a matter of time before you get UAV IRL lol

[@Ralfufigus]

I've definitely realized the error of my ways from this video. I tend to just fire at the enemy while going for my intended objective instead of taking cover. I mean, it's fairly obvious that I should take cover, but for some reason, I never think to do it... I guess I'm just dense in the cranial region... xD

[@northernpike8796]

because its a game and who cares lol

[@Ralfufigus]

Teh GrimPeepeR True...

[@sorenslothe]

You know, I just tried these couple of tips, especially about using cover and the mini-map (I've always done that, though). I really made an effort to try and play smart, and so I chose the Assault class with a surpressed M416. We played Hainan Resort, and following your advise (and that of WoodysGamertag about staying away from your teammates), I managed 46-6 on a 300 ticket server. I stuck to the outskirts of the map, always had my back to a wall or the limit of the map, and made sure to look around before shooting an enemy I had snuck up on. I really enjoyed it, and by playing this way, I'd say I can get a lot more enjoyment from the game. Really great advice, thank you!

[@mudturtlevision]

"bad decision to pick up sniper".. proceeds to get three kills with it when I would have gotten one tops if it was a GOOD decision.

[@tl275]

***** Lvl cap is better on BF3 than on BF4

[@asmcint]

A word of advice to people on the subject of pieing corners: You don't want to do it right up on the corner itself. Peek around the corner from the opposite wall instead. You get a greater view through the same degree of exposure. Sadly that's all the advice I have with regards to Battlefield, as I presently suck outside of TDM.

[@carlos3519]

I do fencing as my sport, and everything you say sounds exactly like the tactics u use for the sport. Flanking your opponents in bf is just as important, as tricking the opponent to go one way and hitting him on his 'flank' or his side in fencing. Also, trying to outsmart your opponent is very important, and I think it's cool how closely I can relate bf to my favorite sport

[@StaticCupcake]

no one cares...

[@ewaldstander766]

StaticCupcake Thats funny. Wonder if hes got a bipod on his sword. Wait, a tact light might even work. Think im on to something here. Im sure you dont care about this either

[@ConnorContastic]

Sometimes I'll have those good games where I'll get like 20 kills, and sometimes those all out shit games where I'll get like 5 kills

[@TheBlueBear1000]

Same here

[@EpicZakcraft8]

Yeah me too..

[@arvin2306]

At least it's that good for you for me a very lucky round is 15 kills and a bad round is 0 kills and a good round is 7 kills

[@AugustiniandeJuanPierre]

***** I guess that's why they're watching this video.

[@EpicZakcraft8]

Augustinian de Juan Pierre Thats true.... :P

[@marcopolo208]

This is great, reminded me I should take more advantage of cover. My gaming was bad today, probably gonna use these tactics more tomorrow.

[@SpiderDice]

Thanks for the video LevelCap! It was really good information, but I kinda felt like I had to take notes the whole time. It would be cool to see some textual overlay on future videos pointing out enemies, objectives, or that scope glint you saw for example. Just a thought!

[@OlivioSarikas]

Awesome tut, really enjoyed watching it - subscribed!

[@BIGBUFFGRILL]

Far cry 3 explorer - Ace 52 cqb With any red dot sight, tri-beam laser, folding grip and muzzle brake M1911 Delta scope, flash hider and tri-beam Rpg, rep tool, v40 and anti tank perk. This isnt the most accurate loadout but it deals heavy damage to infantry and vehicles. Try this out on some conquest and use the rpg to your advantage when against longer ranged enemy. Thanks

[@Adman-p4j]

Please more of these pro-commentary over top of game play.

[@DICEBEATS808]

I already knew all of this but I still like watching these kind of videos

[@Dazmeister22]

I really like this pro tip series, it's amazing how many mistakes even veteran BF players still make. We need more like this please

[@TheSanco26]

Always learning small things in your videos

[@Bombatron]

I love watching your videos; but this one, by far, is one of the most useful and insightful videos I have seen. Added to my favorites for posterity.

[@RotiniWeenie]

I appreciate this video LevelCap. It really helps me with my K/D Ratio of 0.97. Before I watched these videos you make, along with other KZbinrs, my K/D was 0.45. Thanks for making the video LevelCap and have a nice day.

[@MrJimodoom]

Great video levelcap, I know most of what you are saying already, but putting it into practice and not excitedly rushing in to the action is so difficult!

[@OfficerGame]

you know the game is fucked up, when even people like levelcap dont equip a defibrillator. makes me so sad :(

[@1001History]

If you got killed, you deserve to take that death. I stopped relying on teammates to revive me ages ago. I take the death and keep playing.

[@SirEvilestDeath]

1001History Medics are suppose to heal people right? Whats the point of being a medic when a player doesn't utilize what its good for? Like a support player without an ammo box that just doesn't make sense.

[@1001History]

SirEvilestDeath yeh they do plenty of healing. But not reviving. Gave up on them reviving me.

[@SirEvilestDeath]

Paramjit Atwal Med Bag heals health Ammo Crate gives ammo Defibrillator restores health in dead players C4 gives nothing but death by explosion. No, I don't see how the Defib can be compared to the C4 in terms of functionality per kits tools.

[@quake4tt]

True. Since BF2, BC2 .. etc medic is with machine gun, not assault class. We really rely on it. BF3 medic is with assault, we already less chance to get revive, cos frontline assault get kill most of the time. BF4 defib is nerf, other weapons can replace the defib slot. Our chance to get revive is very minimum. It means BF series game pace is getting faster and faster than before. It becomes less and less teamwork, in a big map with destruction and vehicles.

[@AGuyNamedRicky]

LevelCap ReCap: 1: Stay close to cover in case of ambush 2: Use cover to advance, stay away from wide open areas 3: Check your corners in close quarters (Pie) 4: Check mini map routinely (usually during a reload) 5. Pick the right weapon for your engagement distance

[@cptTK421]

Just bought this game for $5. Hope it's good for a "first Battlefield." Now I played the original BC, but that was almost a decade ago, and I didn't have PSN back then. So wish me luck, cuz I'm going in dry.

[@zalohimself]

SAME

[@kylekaehler]

Same

[@coolj3510]

Same

[@MINECRAFTBROS03]

Same, already decent with heli piloting. Think i will pick it up as my specialty (vid on my channel of me playing heli)

[@kylekaehler]

+YJ20 or veteran since he played the first og game

[@PlaceboTree]

Damn levelcap. It’s been awhile, I missed your videos. Now that I have “some” free time I’ll be back to gaming and visiting your channel more often. It’s always been too stuff. Thanks and keep it going!

[@mjblackman35]

How about you make a hardcore mode versions of this video.

[@mister3722]

I started on hardcore because I live with 2 guys who play, one of whom is 27th in the world so if I wanted to play battlefield 4 with them, is was hard-core servers or nothing. I ended up in a normal server through invite and I can't play it, just doesn't seem right

[@rodrigoleon-alvarez1927]

This definitely helps, I'm so busy with school that I rarely get to play at all, but when I do get the chance to, tips like these make all the difference.

[@whyitr1ot]

I find that I do well when I don't worry about tactics and strategy. Not as in: "Ah fuck it," *charges straight into ten enemies* The tactics and strategy come naturally to me, subconsciously, I don't even realize why I'm doing so well. Some of you looking to get better at Battlefield need to know that if you want to get better, play to have fun! Don't look for a good kill to death ratio, look for the small funny things.

[@envyme4027]

Nice I just began playing battlefield bad company 2. I have a 1.51 K/D and I got battlefield 4 this Christmas but I think I am not good enough any tips?

[@Josh350]

Great advice, you could also use destruction to your advantage. At times, you also have to decide which fire fights are to your advantage. Most of the time if you're engaging multiple enemies it's best to rapidly asses an approach method. Which guy you should take out first. If there are two medics and a sniper I'd take out the medics first then the sniper. You also want to fool your enemies into thinking you're going to come straight at them by acting like you didn't see them and making them leave their hiding spot just for them to run into a trap. I am not a pro, but I can carry my weight against clans as a lone wolf.

[@Gothicscull234Gmail]

the one thing I want dice to fix... 0% health

[@vigorisFun]

Gothicscull234Gmail lol

[@huugo8278]

and its still in the game....

[@RLM22]

LMAO I love how calm you are about all this. Giving tips and just rocking these guys and I didn't see you die not one time. Maybe you did during the making of this, who knows. I just know that this 9 min vid is better than all the rounds I've had since I started playing 2 months ago.

[@plumpshdl]

+Rrrm you cant believe what you see on youtube bro, its easy to play for hours and put together a few random clips with out showing what he does wrong + look at the level of players hes playing with @ 8:40 :/ most are retards with little fps experience

[@OldSchoolRipley]

Hello LevelCap I would like to add something to your usage of the minimap. That certainly is true but I would say that for me a big part of tactical advantage results from using your ears additionally. Sounds trivial but a good headset does help you in close quaters as much as the minimap. I listen to footsteps, comments ("one of our guys is down!") or sound effects like doors closing, vehicles, spawn beacons etc. Cheers! Beast_Clintwood

[@StefOnXbox]

Been watching your BF videos since the beginning of BF3. Learned alot of tips and tactics from you. Appreciate it man, keep 'em coming.

[@TheFallenJ]

Here is the only tip you will ever need: GET YOUR ASS KICKED!! THIS THE BEST WAY TO GET BETTER AT ANYTHING

[@datboiskywalker2791]

TheFallenJ FACTS bro

[@lethalaj5342]

how iconic of me watching this again after 7 years replaying my childhood

[@RongGuy]

Although many of these tips seem like common sense, a surprisingly large amount of people don't utilize them. I feel like a lot of people don't look at the minimap enough.

[@christerpettersson6314]

I think one explanation is that many, many players have simply given up on this catastrophy of a game. Levelcap again make it look so easy, while in reality, so to speak, it's a hole other story. Not claiming he is a bad player or anything but fact remains: He always plays against TOTAL clueless players in all his videos. I have said it several times before and I say it a again. I mean just look at that score bored at the end. Nuff said.

[@imcnblu]

Christer Pettersson PC players, in general, suck. Bad. It's not like he picks who he plays against. There's no way for him to know, prior to joining a match, the ranks/skill of the players in the server. So, technically, you're right. But, its not that he deliberately hunts for servers with noobs. It's just that plenty of players on PC are wannabes who simply aren't good. He's a decent player. Not great, or anything. But, definitely way above average in the PC Battlefield community.

[@davidmartin3445]

imcnblu Did you just say PC players in general suck? PC gaming is in every way, shape and form, more hardcore, competitive, and high quality than console gaming by an absurd amount. If you even consider saying console gaming is in any way better an obscene amount of people will get on here and laugh at your dumb ass.

[@douglasbaumgartner9222]

Been a long time since I have played. Picked it back up a couple weeks ago and back in love again!

[@viktor14jaar]

these are tips i learned some years ago in call of duty 4 :)

[@boowhitney9385]

Hey Level, I really enjoy going back to these videos every now and then to brush up on the basics. I know the fundamentals are generally the same, but have you ever thought about doing a similar series or set of videos for BFV or even BF1? Thank you, and keep up the great work!

[@EraOfJack]

That moment when someone says they have bad accuracy and you're 5 times worst : /

[@funnyguy6197]

well hes levelcap his standards are of a god

[@georgeyeatman8012]

loved this vid, helped me remember, when im getting tired or have been playing for a long period of time I always end up just running straight down roads and halls ect and getting blown to bits because I start getting to impatient

[@RXOBANSH33]

LvlCap you need to keep your Grenade Launcher loaded. Twice you either left it a while or not at all, best to have everything loaded as often as possible.

[@ThatJShoTTTT]

I'm sure he's working on that. Nobody's perfect. N plus its levelcap I don't think anybody needs to give him advice except rivalxfactor because he's the best.

[@QuestGiver]

Jay Shot but like you said, nobody's perfect.

[@RXOBANSH33]

Jay Shot Everybody can use some advice, nothing wrong with pointing out flaws.

[@grantlomman9560]

That's a great tip. I've often fired an RPG then forgotten to reload only to miss a point blank opportunity to take out a vehicle. All in good fun :)

[@matt5898]

Jay Shot Yeah, theres nothing wrong with hilighting the flaws, if you realize them, you wont make them as often, if not ever again.

[@do.xuantung]

Watching this in 2021 because this game is still hyped over newly released BF games

[@PeachDragon_]

Yes and it's on sale on steam

[@OneHandleToHandleThemAll]

Notice how every player that LevelCap catches completely by surprise is a sniper. Protip: Don't be a sniper like that.

[@l337g0g0]

You said it at the end perfectly, taking cover is fundamental in any shooting game/situation etc. and you said it is basic, THEN said we neglect it. 💯

[@barduk4]

"and i won that fire fight because of skill" suuuuuure skill ;)

[@Shellshockd85]

ace 23 hell yeaaaa

[@barduk4]

Shellshockd85 its not that good

[@ExiledAngelXV]

A lot of people apparently forget that when using assault rifles or carbines at longer ranges that you can switch fire modes to semi-auto and engage your targets much more accurately with rapid follow up shots. However, you are at a slight disadvantage doing that at closer ranges unless you have a really fast trigger squeeze.

[@cgeopapa]

3:38 at the beginning I thought that the video had stuck!

[@sam8404]

Just got BF4 recently after getting tired of how they're handling BFV and it's so good! I'm glad LevelCap has so many videos on BF4 tactics and weapons.

[@kelpnougatcrunch9430]

finally a smart bf4 player

[@rupe909]

Thanks for the advice, watching your videos is improving my game.. and making me appreciate it more.

[@BrigapesNardo]

6:12 This is why the Dawnbraker is the one of the worst maps. Even when i checked all the spots, i ALWAYS get killed when i get down that road.

[@BrigapesNardo]

***** 6:12

[@BrigapesNardo]

***** Exactly. Thats why i *never* play this map. Or just stick to the CQ.

[@oskarmeister]

Do NOT take that path then.

[@SuperArppis]

That's why I don't go there, or take the higer route next to the road. I quite like the map personally. It's the "Moldova Highway" (Golmund Trainway) and Zadov 331 I really don't care for. Moldova Highway has it's momments, but it just pops up too often and Zadov is just a confusing clusterfuck.

[@isaiahensor6856]

everyone hating on the video for no reason, this video isn't for people who are great or good its for people who want a little help or just starting, don't go blabbing your mouth you aren't the one making the video. also everyone has there own play style this is how he plays, he's just trying to help

[@LoneCastaway]

thanks. it's sad to see so many hater-comments. he even says at the end that those tactics are pretty basic but you need to remind yourself to use them at all times, because many people forget to take advantage of this at times. also he can't really choose his enemy team. it would take an incredible amount of time to get footage that's enjoyable to watch, has good examples of these tactics to explain them and having a good enemy team. if anything i would say some of the phrasing he used wasn't ideal, like when he said those were "pro-tips" and that he won that one firefight because of skill.

[@whiteshade6667]

Is it just me who loves the M416? I think the M416 is a top weapon in Battlefield 4. I think the ACE 23 isn't as good as the M416 but that could just me because I have a lot of love for the M416 in reality. Any M416 lovers here?!

[@CrosseyedTenFour]

So tired of Ghosts, picked up BF4 today and I'm living it so far. This video was great. Thanks

[@cakeisawesome32]

I have a feeling that he only uploaded this vid with these clips because he did amazing in these games.

[@Hfajardo97]

He does amazing in every single game...and he made this video because there are a lot of people who know these tactics but never use them. Here he is showing why they are useful.

[@MrZemIan]

He uploaded them because they show the tactics he is talking about in a very good way. It's easy to see that what he is describing is really happening in the gameplay, it's not too fast paced so you can follow him. Sure, he is probably doing worse from time to time and better sometimes. But why show a video where he is talking about tactics when he is getting owned, overrun or just going rambo style and being lucky?

[@claespetersson1812]

Hfajardo97 Love lvlcap and all of them, but you are wrong my friend. He isnt amazing in all games. Of all the hours of gaming he does his videos would have been 2-4 hours long everytime, everyday. Of course a good player like lvlcap gets good rounds, but it does take more then just joining a random server. Out of 10 games, i think 2-4 of out those that he gets these monster K/D radio's.

[@tijmenwillard2337]

Checking mini map while reloading is actually a really good tip, thanks man!

[@manilove2pwn]

[@ufotofu9]

SO many headshot from long range! I've been playing for a while. I find that for me it's all about momentum. That's not a tactic, it's just how I am. If I start out well, I'll do well throughout. It almost seems like luck, so I really want to start focusing on actual tactics. Thanks for the vid.

[@FissaTION]

5:20 What skill ? He was sprinting at you , so he couldn't shoot and you got him. So as second guy who you said you killed because of cover... not cover he was sprinting as well.. sprint less and gg PRO tip :D

[@Scylla94941]

Well, it should be common sense not to sprint in areas where it is very likely that you will run into enemies. The guy broke this rule and paid for it.

[@valttwri]

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing lol.

[@FissaTION]

Scylla94941 my point is the guy who got killed is bad... not SKILL got him killed, sprint did lmao re read what i said earlier :D

[@louispalombo1196]

Keep making more videos like this. I think the bf community needs it.

[@TH30NE4ND0NLYTURT13]

For the next Pro Tips talk about how to be stealth. More like getting dog tags stealth.

[@670Noah]

I would say yes to this video but johannes is right. Takes too long to get a nice stealth kill.

[@DarknessessB11]

Good tips man, simple things we tend to overlook when playing. These apply to any shooter really, I still run and gun like an idiot though.

[@RandomCanEHdian]

Unfortunately, even if the some of the players I'm matched with somehow learn how to use a computer and find this, they won't be able to comprehend these simple ideas. It's where the community is, nowadays.

[@puna52]

Loving this series LevelCap. Keep it up!

[@TedKovic]

Level,is it good to crouch when you're shooting at an enemy in close quarters?

[@volcanic3104]

Sometimes it works but if they are aiming somewhere in your stomach area if you crouch you literally just put your head in the trajectory of their bullets.

[@gene-2289]

not really becuose most of the people aim for center of body and when you crouch his scope is on you head.

[@xxCelticFC]

One thing bad about that is that most people will shot the chest while standing so when you're crouched your head comes to how the chest would be at. There for easier head shot. Laying down is the same way but longer to see you there and a smaller target from distance. Do you know what I mean?

[@TedKovic]

VOLC4NICxSP4RK Yeah,but wouldn't that split second get me the kill?Good point,dough,thanks for the reply.

[@TedKovic]

***** I do,good point,thanks for the tips. :)

[@kng2bishop]

Thanks for the video!!! I went from neg to pos in k/d after watching this. The choosing your fights and cover contributed.

[@iqvan007]

So... is there going to be a Battlefield Friends episode about this?

[@xwF4T4L1TYwx]

Love pro tips series LevelCap, keep em coming!!

[@bradparsons9139]

It's not too bad of a game in my opinion, but the COD players on there are annoying (jumping in combat, moving left and right constantly, shooting rpgs at soldiers head on, etc). Also, the maps seem to be pretty dark as far graphics go and it's hard to see enemies sometimes. Anybody else agree?

[@plumpshdl]

+Brad Parsons dude the infantry at the moment is based on fast movements, go and watch any high level player play and the use jumps

[@Oriontrollsftw2]

Using launchers on soldiers makes sense

[@thebigkeenster7772]

If your in a firefight you do not want to stand still, because that's a good way to become swiss cheese.

[@ogjake2817]

I tbag when it is necessary, like they bag first. Or I ill with my repair tool/defibs. Maybe when I take out somebody in a cool ass way. I RPG'd a heli when I was parachuting on ps3 and landed on a building just to tbag the guy lol. Point is sometimes it's earned.

[@vigorisFun]

Brad Parsons no you suck ppl who do zouzous are monsters like me

[@SomeGuy-hh7te]

That sniper pickup was actually the best thing you could've had in that situation. The .50 cal is a semi-auto 1-shot-kill and the variant you got was customized for CQB. The only thing I noticed was that you didn't seem to know what you were doing. Pro tip: Never under any circumstances should you hip-fire a sniper rifle.

[@TurtleTheToaster]

At 1:34 you take a bullet but no damage, good old battlefield...

[@jonahzolnak9553]

Thanks Level Cap Gaming all of your tips have helped me improve

[@reptar74]

did you tell matimio you were going to copy his original series and do post commentary instead of live commentary?

[@rantanen1]

...i dont know how long matimio has done this kind of videos, but levelcap has done similar videos with tips and tricks to improve your play for at least 2 years.

[@reptar74]

matimio has done mind games (the series i was talking about) since bf3 launched

[@BeardedSinner]

Zack Mind Games is a bit different, Matimio goes through whats working on that map, his thought process to how he takes out enemies and objectives. LC is giving you tips that you can use in any situation in any maps. I agree they are similar but its not a copy.

[@johnmenger813]

Zack why are you mad? at least levelcap can keep his voice in 1 octave for over 30 seconds

[@coy088]

Zack Did you know they are like best friends, and it's a basic tactics video that everyone should know

[@jzofop]

One thing you should mention I learned from Xfactor & that is "Where there's one there's more". But I believe you were utilizing it anyway. You are humble about your aim cause it's pretty damn good....way better than mine but I've only been PC gaming since BF3 came out. Keep these type of vids comin...for BF4 & Titanfall. Thanks!

[@Ianmdrummer]

When I'm playing no one on my team uses their mini map!! I get killed and the person next to me won't look at their mini map and will always get shot as well...90% of the time playing bf4 my team sucks ass!

[@SKC0392]

This was one of the best pro tips out there! You helped me a lot, keep it up

[@j0hnc0nnor]

Pro-tip: Don't name a video "Pro-tips" if you're only going to talk about basic shit.

[@Masters-Muscle]

Man I love this type of video. Thanks so much!

[@ryaneb1370]

Am I the only person that gets killed when I'm clearly running from shots and taking cover behind a wall and still getting killed like this is Cod?

[@Tophatchaps]

***** they are trying their hardest to fix it though so you cant be so hard on dice..

[@ryaneb1370]

The game has been out for awhile it is very fun for me, but the lag and the freezing still exists the netcode needs to be fixed still. It's gotten to the point where a lot of the time I feel like I'm being robbed of kills and dying unfairly.

[@Tophatchaps]

yes i feel the same but as i said they are trying their hardest to fix it..

[@ryaneb1370]

I hope so Tophatchaps. It would be nice if EA would post a short video showing the people who are working on it and how hard they are working. I give them credit because I used to be a Cod player before BF3 and boy do I love this game so much better then Cod just wished it ran smooth as butter. Which by time it will.

[@marcusellwood1371]

Tophatchaps I would say it's sad but acceptable for a game to release how bad BattleField 4 *currently* works. After 7 updates I still have far too many problems on the 360. The console is a way underpowered system, true, but DICE should have the netcode (hitboxes), the lag spikes (reduce the visual quality to give a playable experience), and the total system freezes on Dawnbreaker fixed by now, what, 3 or 4 months after release.

[@matthewdurham4153]

I would say a good tip to add is that when you do not have a shot on an enemy due to cover, distance, etc...don't take the shot and give away your position. Either move up on the guy or spot him for your team mates. I have seen so many people see someone that would be hard to kill yet they fire and then give away their position and get slaughtered afterwards. Sometimes it is best to spot target and then continue going towards you objective.

[@TheGodJavier]

This video reminds me of Matimio's mind games.

[@rantanen1]

....there is only so much you can do with gaming related videos without being similar to someone else. same applies to music and art.

[@theDarkness558]

Miss this kinds of videos

[@Kiivas]

A universe where LevelCap has "Bad Accuracy" is a universe where Russians are never mentioned in Call of Duty plots.

[@angelmendez2656]

This vid is epic. Tons of great tips I used all the tactics and tips. Went 37 and three on tem. Level cap I take my hat off to you keep it up.

[@TheTruthSentMe]

Pro tips Basic tactics 101 Anyone else seeing the contradiction?

[@iwantcomputers]

I love your videos LevelCap ! please keep doing it, it inspires many.

[@DjFresh4lteFolie]

LevelCap thinks he has bad aim, seems legit :D

[@chrisgill261]

Shameless battlelog plug brought me in. Always come to u and Jackfrags and Chaa when I wanna get better

[@DeathN0cturnal]

Hey LevelCap, why don't you record in 60 fps? Sorry it bothers me. I record in 60 fps at 1080p. you should too.

[@evolutionsbremse1]

coz youtube can't handle 60 fps

[@dimashkrg]

the deal is that, KZbin doesn't support 60fps, so that means that when u upload video to YT, it converts video to 30fps and also converts it to own bitrate, that is why 1080p on YT seems like a 480p

[@PhilipZeplinDK]

If you make videos for KZbin, recording at anything above 30fps (I think it's 24fps, but who cares) is useless. Unless you're planning on doing some slow motion stuff (in which case you should be recording at 120fps anyway), there's no point.

Philip Zeplin Good thing is to upscale your 1080p video to 4K. It doesn't impove video quality but it increased KZbin bandwtch and upscaled 1080p viduo in 4K looks on KZbin much better then raw 1080p.

[@DeathN0cturnal]

He only records in 1080p.. .and my videos have 60 fps. Look at my videos before any of you know what you're talking about.

[@sachathedragon5766]

Watching a seasoned BF player explain it AND DO IT is way different than a casual like me actually utilizing it 😂 For real though, im gunna use this

[@samboofle3715]

I wish console was a little easier
