Battlefield 5: Tips - Top Five Bad Habits! (Battlefield V Guides)

[@TheBrokenMachine]

What are your bad habits? Waiting for someone to tell me mine is never reviving.. and totally ignoring all the revives.. but yeah..

[@jAgUaRkurt]

I go after the ones that kill me and keep getting killed

[@adammckelvey8514]

TheBrokenMachine thanks for the tips

[@gutsofmutts8637]

Being a lone wolf...and also raging too much. I don’t know how you keep your cool so well?

[@tomisoininen4894]

**Waiting for someone to tell me mine is never reviving.. and totally ignoring all the revives.. but yeah** and for those guys i might say. *think about the bigger picture*

[@jasons7044]

Hey kid...I know BFV is your bread and butter, but check out a game called Firewall/ zero hour...for PSVR...its the future of FPS games..worth getting VR and aim controller just for it

[@gulrahim321]

my bad habits is going straight for the revive when i am 100% sure that i would die because i don't scan the area. not lack fo skill or somthing but because i feel sorry for that guy.

[@leftwitch4373]

Sulaiman malik well if they die in an awful spot that’s usually their fault

[@JasperDielemans]

We need more of these kindhearted people like you on earth. ;)

[@liammchugh9439]

Probably u that got killed when reviving me at some point so. Thanks dude

[@enzym2004]

I also tend to do a lot of kamikaze revives..

[@god8911]

Make sure to throw down smoke when going for revives. I only revive when I have a smoke screen to cover me and the teammate I'm reviving.

[@wireshark101]

Reloading too often and trying to be a good medic by reviving before assessing the situation.

[@MatuIlMito]

So you are a bad medic? Lol

[@therandom.cowboy5526]

MatuIlMito “trying”

[@StewIaNo]

Spawning on Team mates and getting insta killed just because I’m eager to get back in to the action. Or when the game tends to be boring I.e. teams not pushing, I do stupid things and position myself in ridiculous areas just trying to hunt some enemies down.

[@rooster6199]

Bruh, I will get insta killed even when I don't spawn on a teammate.

[@thedavescloop]

I'm guilty of reloading too often. One's I see most often are things like: not playing the objective or not playing it the right way. Some people hunt kills far away from the crucial action or sit far away and snipe. Sniping is fine. Hell, I don't even bad mouth camping. It's a legit tactic. But if you're going to do these things do it in a way that in some way aids with playing the objective. Snipe the enemy as they attack the obj or take out targets preventing your own men from attacking. And you can play the obj without actually being on it. Sprinting headlong onto the point but into an MG and being cut down doesn't help the team. But is there's a tank, sniper, MG, etc making it hard to play the obj, go help take out that threat. Even if you aren't on it obj, that counts as playing it. Not playing medic enough when the ticket bleed is getting bad. I don't believe the "medic sucks" crap. You just need to learn to play it differently. If you have good fundamentals you can be near the top of the scoreboard even with SMGs. Or the opposite of this; charging into the open without even using smoke to get someone and dying as well. Revive people in cover, use smoke to revive people who are exposed. Try to eliminate nearby threats first to make a safe revive possible. If you have time before they bleed out, use it. Maybe two guys bleed out but you get one back up. That's better than rushing to get all three and dying as well. Being stubborn. If they way you are attacking isn't working, try a different route. Try to flank. Try to suppress. find a way. But don't just keep charging into the same firing squad. Use your noggin. Don't play the same class or weapon all the time. Get good at multiple ways to play so you can do what the situation calls for. Plus the variety is more fun.

[@danialnassurudin]

Love this. All of the above, especially the first one. Guilty of reloading too often too, even on a fully specced out MP28 with 50 rounds.

[@andrewlander951]

This is why I love Battlefield. In order to play well in it you must play smarter, not harder. I’m sick of games like COD where the entire point of the game is to run around the map as fast as you can and drool over yourself while racking up as many kills as possible with little to no thinking.

[@Trevorious2010]

My bad habit is relying on my clueless teammates to help! lol

[@chinfuzzchet3616]

50k points and the sl let's the round in without a vr!!

[@Kbeauty203]

Shooting right when you see an enemy... wait till you get a clearer shot!

[@dirtyann]

espescially in this one without the spotting and with the blend of our characters in the environnement. I let full squads pass me frequently then I pick them in their back hehe. And I don't camp, I use my audio when it's not bugged lol.

[@NotHamez]

Main bad habit for me is positioning. It was way easier in BF1 because 3D spotting was so easy and you could see where everyone was on the map. But in BFV, it's a lot harder to see where your opponents are because of visibility and the lack of 3D spotting, something I'll have to get used to :/

[@NotHamez]

@Smeson Agreed, never said 3D spotting was a good thing just that you could see enemies wherever you went because of it. The system we have now in BFV is much better but visibility needs improving imo.

[@ink4852]

The next best thing to a Medic who revives is a Scout who spots. The binoculars and the flare gun are amazing tools and I almost never see anyone using them. The flare had its range drastically reduced and ever since no one uses it anymore, but it's still very good.

[@mrdappernature8861]

It might be coming back....once they notice new players complaining on reddit about it... that's a wrap

[@plymcousa3002]

I’m probably only slightly better than average in heads up gun fights. What I am is a positional player or flanker. My bad habit is not switching targets to the player that noticed me. So for example I’m on a flank and come up on 3 players with backs to me. I start shooting the prone player but as soon as I do someone notices me but I continue to finish off original target. What I should do is dodge and change targets to the player firing at me. How do I train myself to change target quicker when needed.

[@chrisr1522]

Never shoot the prone player first he'll be the easiest of them all maybe even get a knife kill if he's preoccupied for a few seconds

[@scarmel0325]

Bro that’s what’s I do I feel you pain 😂

[@nohoemode155]

also increase your ADS sensitivity....I was forced to stick mine to 130 and now target switching feels almost like on PC

[@nohoemode155]

[@marcusfsproductions]

5:48 just a beautiful piano in the middle of all the mayhem ;)

[@Explore2Adore]

Have to admit that running around the BF5 Breakthrough maps never gets me very far. I think I've calmed my movement a little which has helped. I haven't played some of the maps enough times though to know where everyone hides. All too easily I get killed from distance, even when I think I am covered. The most annoying thing is that I can rarely ever see where I get shot from when I die, so I find it harder to learn from the death. I struggle with one-to-one fights on BF5. No matter the gun, the opponent wins most times. It is only if I have a strong approach position, from a different angle then I get the kill. That said, I think I am getting slightly more kills since I started using the grips for the xbox controller sticks (forget the name, but Broken recommended them). Tonight though, for the first time in BF5, I've finished a game with more kills than deaths (9 - 7). I honestly thought I'd never see that.

[@SRTyler392]

Aww lol your comment was wholesome. Keep practicing and reflecting on where you went wrong, but most importantly being conscious of them in the heat of battle. Not allowing yourself to panic and just relying on relfexes and instinct, try to plan ahead. Learning the maps helps a lot also and is a big part of knowing where you're more likely to be in danger, but never being complacent. Always check your corners and maybe take your time a bit more. Hope this helped!

[@Explore2Adore]

@@SRTyler392 Thanks for the tips... Had better results since playing with a wired connection. I guess in some ways I've been one of those headless chickens in the past, even running up and lobbing dynamite onto the enemy front line just to try and break a deadlock knowing I will die anyhow - spend half the time blowing myself up haha. I try not to panic, but I know if I kill 3 people in a row I'm due to die in the next 15 seconds. Think I've been playing with some weaker guns. KE7 on 3x zoom, although it seems better on 1.25. Sten for Medic. Enfield for Recon/Scout and Ribbeyrolles for Assault. Never understand how some people get the high k/d ratios. If I get an equal ratio on Breakthrough I consider that to be a very successful round lol.

[@JNIHZA]

Hey there Broken, and thanks for yet another great video. Been watching you for a while and I just think you're an absolute beast at this game - and a huge inspiration for me. My bad habbits? Honestly - I really enjoy this game even though I was very skeptical about it before the release. My bad habbit is that I want to get good in this game (and at other multiplayer fps games), but I always keep coming up with bullshit excuses why I can't play right now. It's so annoying and hard to explain, but it's like "naah, I'm slightly too tired to focus" "I play in an hour and watch some twitch/youtube" "Oh the clock is too much and my mind is not at an optimal state to game". THIS IS INFURIATING. I've been gaming more than before, so that is nice - but I still find myself trying to come up with excuses even tho I WANT TO PLAY and get good. Also another of my biggest bad habbits is to expect to perform wayyyy over my skills. Like I'm not good - but I want to be, and when I'm not doing well I start raging and quit the game - when I should just accept the fact that I'm dying simply because of I'm not that good. I should play to best of my skill and as good as I can, and not to expect those incredible flanks that you pull off constantly. There have been times when I've played with a mindset "Just do as best as you can, and that's enough. Learn from the mistakes and just keep playing DO NOT QUIT", and when I do - I really enjoy playing. Anyway - big fan of you - and keep doing what you do best; BEASTING.

[@mvpturner]

IDK but my bad habit is not paying attention to my surroundings because I always get killed from behind, and tips to help with that?

[@SJHSports]

MVP TURNER have a good headset and I would say map knowledge helps as well

[@mvpturner]

@@SJHSports ok I'll try to learn more about the map

[@sasquatchhillbilly]

Check your 6 Frequently...

[@JasperDielemans]

For me it really helped to not just look only at the center of my screen all the time, but kind of make a scanning motion over the entire screen. In the past I always tunnelvisioned the centre of my screen (where my reticle is), often totally overlooking an enemy that was visible in the corner of my screen for the whole time. Especially in this game, where there is ample spotting, this was a necessary skill to develop. Good gaming on the battlefield soldier!

My bad habit is to continue 1v1s although I know I will loose it and just hope the enemy suddenly wont hit me anymore. It is better to just quickly hide, selfheal and give it another try.

[@AztecUnshaven]

Great advice man! Aim is great as a basic tool... but Positioning, awareness, and map knowledge is absolutely paramount. This cannot be emphasized enough. A good squad with proper positioning and awareness ON TOP of already having great aim can be devastating. Another key point I'd recommend is... if you're by yourself and you stumble on a large group of enemies, but they haven't seen you yet, don't get too eager to barge in and suicide attack... it's sometimes better to wait until your squad members can spawn on you, THEN you can rush in and attack as a group.

[@halliewell8998]

Your reload tip is a big one. I am very bad for automatically reloading after firing. When I reload in better positions I definitely die less. Awesome advice Machine 👍🏼😃

[@livovil]

Not watching enough of your videos. 😍😀

[@Oddfellow215Gaming]

These videos are so helpful.Especially the tip about running.I have started getting so many more kills from catching people that are running .Running limits your ability to hip fire or properly aim reducing your chances of winning a gun fight

[@ShawnTheDriver]

"Let the battlefield unfold in front of you" is probably the best piece of advice I've ever heard. I was always the person running in trying to be the hero and blast everyone I saw (like it was Call of Duty or something lol) and I'd get bodied immediately. After I watched this video I started taking my time more, kinda taking the "let the shit hit the fan in front of you and mop up the survivors" role and let me tell you...I actually started having FUN playing this game. Not many more kills than I used to get but not nearly as many deaths.

[@hiddencandies2608]

My bad habits are to manu I think, to agressive when I should not, standing in the open and try to outgun someone and get killed from another angle. My aim is off (ps4 player) and when the enemy get the jump on me my aim is all over the place in panic. (LOL) Shooting when I should have waited and so many other smal things that get the flow of my gaming not good. But I am learning and cant wait to get my PC so I can start playing better :)

[@seandunlap4114]

Does anyone else feel like playing BFV is like being in an abusive relationship that you know is harmful, but you are inextricably dependent on?

[@Ana-wr4ic]

My issue is that I often over aim I think. When I’m adsing during a gun fight, I seem to over aim, miss a few crucial hits and lose the gun fight even if I have the drop on them. Sensitivity?

[@chrisr1522]

Yep turn it down a bit and once you're used to it raise it back up in tiny increments.

[@TheBrokenMachine]

Maybe sensitivity too high - maybe it's you, maybe try to snap to targets better? Probably that tbh.

[@andrewx3877]

@Anastasiya K copy the broken settings its better

[@SRTyler392]

Yes if your aim is off the first thing to look at is playing with your sensitivity. Also not panicking and just spraying, be aware of your enemy's movement and make adjustments. Sometimes I have to literally think "ok hes moving left, aim a bit left" or if im sniping and missed a shot, as im racking a new round im thinking what adjustments id need to make in order to hit the shot. Like "ok a little lower next time" or if theyre moving "ok i need to lead my shot a bit more" etc. Just being conscious of Whats in front of you. But most importantly practice!

[@isra9x197]

Im a rusher .... i love the adrenaline (max fov) and when it pays out it's the reward is just beautiful. I still get a pretty decent k/d but when I play more defensive I'm able to get way more kills but it's not that fun .

Welcome to battlefield....the game that relies on team work...but no one does it...

[@collincronin7272]

One thing I thought to myself about the last clip was the fact that you didn’t have any rockets left by the time you got close to the tank. Your first rocket shot was a good hit because you had clear visibility on your target. The next two shots were poor visibility shots. I would have tried a push right around the tank (as you ended up doing) to try and take a better position before using the rest of my explosives. Obviously this is just nitpicking because you are a very good player but you did tell us to look for SOMETHING 😂

[@aryanharkawat1331]

If you struggle with recoil control, you should bind steady scope to your fire button. This helps immensely with recoil control.

[@aryanharkawat1331]

7:02 The mistake here is that you are standing still and you have many angles of exposure. You could be easily sniped in that position.

The #1 bad habit I've noticed as a medic player (at least in other players) is not using the smoke grenades. If you get the smoke launcher and nades, when maxed out on ammo you can have 5 smokes to deploy at any time. I've watched so many matches of breakthrough and airborne turn into meat grinders because everyone is rushing the objective, which tends to not have enough cover. If you spam 5 smokes all at once you can obscure a HUGE area and as a medic, force your opponents to close the distance with you or risk losing an objective

I always agree with you machine

[@splinter360]

I see a few people in the comments saying eagerness to revive, then dying for it is a habbit of theirs. It's actually a very bad habbit that can decide whether your teams wins or loses a game. Firstly, If you're playing medic then use smoke grenades and the smoke rifle. Gives you minimum 4 smokes (6 if you pick up ammo from a depot). Amazing how 1 smoke grenade stops a whole troop of guys shooting into it or pushing forward. If you're playing one of the other 3 classes, then don't feel obliged to revive your squad mate everytime. Not reviving him, staying alive & allowing him to respawn on you, is infinitely better than trying to revive him, dying too, resulting in the enemy being able to push up or secure a point. A lot of the time a flag is capped, it's because there are a couple of players staying alive on it or near it allowing their squad mates to to respawn on them. Ultimately capping a point often comes down to which team gets the most squad wipes within a short period of time.

[@sethhowerton1489]

Great tips man! Im a long time player and i wanted to see what you had to say. Spot on! and i even learned some things :-)

[@TParkcasual]

My bad habit is when in a battle assuming and trusting my team mate or even squad mate to have a certain direction covered for even just couple seconds. I guess this is the downside to Solo playing with randoms.

[@lvl5icedragon]

Good solid points my man. I feel like I'm just having a hard time adjusting to bfv from bf1

[@SJHSports]

I see myself I'm very aggressive players sprinting around the maps getting myself into bad situations and my angles are just next to nothing. However I'm calmed down over the past few days and taken a step back and it's improved my gameplay 100% but the worse for me is spawning on squad when they have finished killing someone and there a good chance that they will be another enemy around him. A good example of when I spawn on a squad mate after mentioning the above is 1 not sure where I'll be facing once iv spawned 2 not clear exactly where the enemies will be when I spawn With all that being said I have started spawning away from squad mates at certain times.

[@chrisr1522]

Yea i feel u. If i cant comminicate w said squad mate i rarely spawn on them unless im very confident its safe. Usually just spawn on a base. Nothing more frustrating than dying immediately after spawning cuz a guy is chasing your teammate

[@John-qc1zv]

Hi, nice video, your graphic look very smooth. I wonder what is you config ? Do you plag on PC ?

[@colaboytje]

The supply posts not being built is because you can only see them when you have your hammer equiped. That's why people don't build them. The system is obscured. I think that is just bad game design. You can't expect players to walk around with their hammer equiped all over the map when they are new to the game. A little marker would solve this issue. If the system would be that 1 class (support) could build them anywhere on the map with a limited amount, that would have been so much better, and you would see them being built at strategic places in all rounds. Also, some of the maps are really bad. Mainly the destroyed air strip map and the snowy mountain map. Dice also messed up with the spawn zones in conquest and domination. Once you hold all flags or points, spawn killing starts and your team is stuck (mainly in squad conquest this occurs). How they haven't payed attention to it, when they did well in previous games to offer alternative covered routes to get out of the spawn zones or random spawning.

[@quikfix259]

I tend to go for revives way too often with no regards for where I am, if it’s dangerous, etc and just run for it because i feel like i’d be a disappointment and a failure if I miss a revive I could’ve went for.

I’m more baffled by the opening clip where three guys look at you and they don’t kill you while you kill all of them. In my games, everyone is a god that If you don’t keep your wits about you, will show you a whole new meaning to the term: time to kill.

[@d15p4tch6]

I would say the opposite of number 2: RELOAD OFTEN and control your engagements. Don't run into a situation where you are facing 4 guys. Most weapons have 20 rounds or 25 rounds in a mag, so its really easy to run out if you don't reload often.

[@moody_goose]

Always spot/mark a location where enemies were last seen. I don't bother marking enemies unless it's a tank but I will designate the last known position so people know where they roughly are.

On ps4 i’ve noticed that it’s rare that players revive others and medics and support players will literally run past you, instead of throwing ammo or health to you. The other thing I’m noticing are players just camping between flags and worrying about kills, instead of capping or even winning a game. A lot of players literally sit around in a certain spot of the map as the enemy team caps every flag. Conquest is utter shit in bf5 because of this.

Somtimes its more common sense to shoot AT a sniper-even if you know you won't kill the sniper but just to get him stressed and move away from his spot to clear up a moment so your and you team can move forward ...

A bad habit I see often is people not getting on the point. Everyone sits just OUTSIDE the point trying to get kills. And I get that you're trying to make sure it's clear before you rush in, but if you just step forward 3 feet, you'll be contesting the point, taking it for our team. As long as you're not on the point, the enemy will just continue to spawn.

Mine is going ADS when the enemy is up close. And when I remember not to ADS the guy is always using a SMG or shotgun, sooo... whatever.

Not sure if this is a bad habit but i usually pick assult medic or support depending on my squad comp and push or defend objs. But if im on an objective and i find my self getting suppressed or killed by a bunch of snipers I usually take it upon myself to go and counter snipe them... i know the aren't necessarily playing the objective, but if they could've killed me, they could've killed someone else who was trying to play the objective and perhaps wasn't as aware. But i can get carried away because once i take them out and push over to get rid of spawn beacon... (specially if i hit some really nice snipes) I can get a little too confident and start aggressive sniping. Which gets me killed where an AR or SMG, or even and MMG would've saved me

Hey broken machine i have a question I'm having some real TRUBLE in using semi auto's and snipers on my PS4 (for me it's really hard to aim) so do you have any tips

[@simescoun22009]

I passed 2 days raging, unable to get a good kd, dying evry time, seeing myself being always late and die before I could even react, so I decided to go back to bf3 and see if it was the game, I entered the server.... wow felt like yesterday, first match first win, 3 kd, escaping death, killing multiple ennemies, having a real accurate rex, moving evrywhere, being fast, killing easily. As soon as I saw an ennemy myweapon was on him, and I killed him with such accuracy . Then I can back to bfv and I enjoyed again, I realised I wasnt being aggressive and fast enough

[@simescoun22009]

The problem was. Actually to be bored and to not trust my skills, my bf3 skills that never disappeared showed me I was really good, I only need practice in bfv, tryhard and no camp, it cant be played as bf1, bfv needs to be played more like bf3, but the only problem is your teamates, the opponent team that is 80 percent better than yours, and the revolvers that are so bad since bf4, they just need to make em as bf3

[@handymorales9394]

What’s the weapon on the first clip??

[@aa-kz7hc]

ive got this very bad habit where im flanking and there usually 1 person that knows im there but i always go after the guy who is unaware of me

[@DonSoprano47]

I always try to revive as many people as possible to help the team but sometimes get caught out by other enemies in the area also I use the m1a1 carbine and go up against snipers it’s easier for me up against him because I’m constantly moving as he has to keep still to get a shot but if he fires and hits me 1 shot I’m dead

[@SgtP1979]

Not using the surroundings to my advantage. This one is so important but in the heat of battle i often forget it.
