BF3 Improving Accuracy

[@Andershasgotitgoinon]

"...so being ready to pick up and handle any other weapon on the battlefield will be a big feather in your cap." Best. Analogy. Ever. Never heard of it before, but i'm sure as hell using it every chance I get. Props.

[@Deblivator48]

it legit takes me a day to loose my accuracy

[@benjaminreid]

Great video Luetin, your run into the TV station room was so well done! Great tips, I often do the "take it slow" method myself, quite often then catch people just running carelessly infront of you.

[@ColeBlueford]

A very great guide. I actually recently started acting a bit more like this with my M4A1. I was never really a fan of auto-rifles, because they felt unwieldy to me. I'm more of a Pointman archtype: moving around the map quickly and smoothly, using dynamic cover to avoid spray, quick movement to avoid accurate fire, and skilled maneuvers to avoid enemy engagement entirely. I primarily use the MP412/1911/.44, and 870/MK3A1/USAS12 for backup, as well as my knife, grenades, and even the environment.

[@cybershot1982]

That's is some very good advice you gave. The best bit of advice you gave was if you find your self getting killed after a good run its because you trying to hard. Just chill out take a breath step back from the front line and let some of your team m8s push forward. It works for me every time.

[@fattymcgee123]

I really appreciate the relaxing music. Helps me with my rage...

[@TheEddzifyz0r]

i love the way you explained the thing about camping. its actually true, camping isnt recons being up the hill behind the team and doing what a recon is supposed to, camping is a normal player just sits in a common corner with his claymore protection him and just waits the whole match there.

[@srgTAVI]

you change my whole experience in bf3.I just know that tomorrow when im gonna play bf3 im gonna be better.i tend to get mad and rush and fail.Now im gonna be calm and focus.

[@ragecomics97]

this has been a large help one of my fave bf3 commentator

[@HowdaBoss]

the part about getting frustrated and unleashing hell on the enemy is sooo true, thanks for pointing it out dude

[@Ymril]

Waw, your videos are really really good. Well produced, well minded. Great job!

[@madcappo10]

Totally agree. Also remember that the heavy barrel negates the spread increase that foregrip gives the gun. Guns like the AEK, FAMAS, F2000 in the assault class benefits from the foregrip, just like the SG553 and SCAR-H. If you don't want to spread increase, slap on a heavy barrel, but if you're playing CQB, you might not need that.

[@ToPlayPressStart]

Wow. Never thought I'd forget such basic yet essential guidelines. Thank you for reminding me. Totally forgot this is how I got so good at bfbc2.

[@philosofrenzy]

Great examples that cover the guns with serious side-to-side recoil. On the other side--the guns that receive so little a penalty, or which are so accurate that they can bear the foregrip--are the L85a2 (seriously, compare the spread with and without), the AK74M, and the G3a3. Since these are so accurate, even with the foregrip, I find the foregrip is invaluable, as it allows for accurate hip fire in CQC--allowing you to fire first against weapons with higher rates of fire.

[@Hambone7217]

nice tips for setting your own rules of constantly moving and shooting. should really help improve target acquisition and getting a good set of shots off.

[@deva3356]

Before the grim darkness of the far future, there's only battlefield

[@Invicta89]

very true words, i use very similar tactics and gameplay, it will be nice to see more vids on bf3 gameplay, you are very helpful to rookies and veterans, i wouldnt say im the best but i have played a fair number of battlefields for some time now and have quite abit of knowledge of the games, even now i find new things, i guess the saying "you learn something new eveyday" is true lol. many thanks

[@MrBertyboy31]

Great video as usual bud. Very clear and concise. Thanks.

[@DemureWolf]

Thank you for the tips. I love the quote on the end!

[@skierdudeplays]

thanks luetin, this really makes me think about the way I play.

[@VVozone]

The foregrip is also pretty useful when firing from the hip. that's it's main pro to counter the aimed accuracy nerf. in really close quarters maps like metro, pairing a foregrip with a laser sight is pretty useful and quite efficient specially on pdw

[@chinarep1]

With the endgame patch, using a foregrip and heavy barrel together is more accurate than just the heavy barrel on EVERY automatic gun in the game if you shoot more than one bullet in a burst. There's a thread on symthic called "foregrip and heavy barrel best friends forever" that verifies this statistically.

[@philosofrenzy]

I have to recommend that the "don't use the foregrip" advice be taken with one caveat: some guns have serious side-to-side recoil and, without the foregrip, are extremely difficult to keep on target. also, some guns receive so insignificant an accuracy penalty from the foregrip that it's worth it to keep the foregrip on. In short: it depends on the weapon. Also, with the new patch, you don't have to stop moving for as long (it's roughly half a second now) to get your full aimed bonus.

[@shizymynizy]

this has basically doubled my K/D, i'm cosistently between 3 and 4 with an occasional 5. my kill streak went up from 17(in vehicle) to 19(on foot !). thanks for the effort to put this video together. I have embedded it in my clan site. If you don't want me too, just send me a message and I'll take it down.

[@SteveofArms]

I took a 5-6 month break from Xbox altogether, thanks for understanding, and making this video. :)

[@philosofrenzy]

I listed a few in the follow-up comment. The L85a2 and G3a3 are both so accurate that they can be used very effectively, even at range, with a foregrip (so long as you have a heavy barrel on them). The G3a3 is another that can be used in this way. It depends on what you're after. Low fire-rate assault rifles often lose up close against high fire rate weapons, so hip-fire is necessary to get a slight edge--which is what the foregrip brings to the table.

[@ShawnBlunt]

Just came across your channel. Im reading up on your strats very good man! You got a sub

[@ArthurFrancisPsyD]

Great advice brother. Thank you so much.

[@akopogi51]

i felt like i was watching a lion eat a dear on national geographic. very nice video man

[@nemisizz]

I always enjoy watching your video's Luetin, you got a good narrator voice... =)

[@KaIubka]

I like to use the foregrip on the AEK...It looks badass with it, also I neither a bipod nor an underslung grenade launcher suit the AEK...It's a very deadly short to mid range gun. Something that you need the medikit with :) And as it's not meant for longer range engagements, I put the foregrip on to eliminate horizontal recoil. The accuracy penalty is practically not apparent ;) Oh, and I use iron sights as well as a laserpointer. Love its iron sights. :)

[@samsimeoni4581]

I normally do decently on BF but saw how bad my accuracy was, thanks very much for the 20+ kill streak XD

[@petec525]

Agreed, but the Symthic stats seem to suggest that aiming is as accurate in any stance, which surprised me too. The only stance-related thing that affects aimed accuracy is moving, I think - some weapons (AS Val especially) lose a lot of aimed accuracy if you're not standing still.

[@ToPlayPressStart]

You know what? I'm subbing. Not watching and leaving like most videos I watch. Love the vids.

[@Drspank89]

im reading your comments out loud with a brittish accent LOL you have greatly influenced me rightnow

[@fedor3000]

with your voice and the music, i went to a zen-like state ...

[@darrenferguson06]

Great tip on foregrip, have it on most of the time. Accuracy is good but what about folks that seem to absorb lots of damage but take you out with ease? Not a noob question, it's an actual thing I've noticed in some lobbies that I just leave as it makes the game boring

[@9999Mihas]

+darren ferguson its not good for some weapons

[@sethbonneau7612]

aim for the head

[@BustacapMarine]

especially if you have a sniper rifle. you will never see a sniper in real life just running around looking for people they're going to set up and wait

[@TheWebko]

Well done. I unfortunately do not have the natural "knack" of burst firing. I really believe the better players all burst fire.I'm an average talent player at best. But I've noticed that I can get multiplayer kills by not constantly reloading especially in CQ situations. It's a very valuable point in your video. Is there an ideal accuracy percentage for each kit or type of gun? The LMG accuracy for me tends to be lower than assault classes. It may be that I do not use the LMG's correctly.

[@NEGamer13]

Fantastic advice buddy!

[@DmarsHeadshot]

First step: see this video. Second step: try to improve accuracy with the FAMAS. Third step: Epic fail.

[@djmotsis]

Very good video, btw Acoustic Labs was always awsome!

[@IAmTHEGoD0fHELLFIRE]

Yeah and what about Recon? I'm a sniper in BF3. And by definition a sniper is a marksman who fires from a concealed position or from further distances than conventional soldiers. What I do is get myself into a great position, sometimes using aerial vehicles, usually 300 to 600 metres from target get a few kills then relocate to another position and repeat. Yesterday I went 20-5 on firestorm using this method with the M98B. But that's just me. Happy sniping people.

[@petec525]

As far as I know, stance makes no difference to aimed accuracy, but it does affect the accuracy of your hipfire (obviously, standing being least accurate, prone the most accurate).

[@Alpine_Gypsy]

Great video, great production, some people don't think think before they type ^*Murakami^

[@timeshhift87]

Use this resource to check attachments and their effects on whatever weapons you use, and also to compare stats between guns: symthic[DOT]com/bf3-weapon-comparison#17-17-00-03 (replace [dot] with a period) For example, plug the G53 into the "weapon 1" and "weapon 2" data fields, add the foregrip attachment to one and leave the other one blank. Hit "compare" and the website will break down the pros and cons of having a foregrip on the weapon. As far as I know they update it with each patch.

[@MrJaysstuff]

nice vid, got alot of usful tips in there that oi know a few players could learn from

[@Powerfuzz18]

When crouching hip-fire is more accurate and recoil is reduced by a slight amount, so essentially yes.

[@kylesmumisbitch]

In bursts, grip with Heavy barrel is actually more accurate setup than just a heavy barrel... (information from symthic, don't even try to argue)

[@YourPotatoGod]

It takes 30seconds to learn the recoil mechanics of BF3, that is true... but: It takes a week to learn the spread mechanics of BF3 - few other games have such large amounts of spread coupled with practically zero recoil. Most games force you to miss (while ADS) by jerking your crosshair off target and hitting the corresponding spot - Not battlefield. Meanwhile, you can use symthic to help you a little, but i find that trying the weapons yourself help much more.

[@BadAssNinja12]

I tend to find the KH2002 rifle for Assault class is great for accuracy as it's only burst fire and does a decent amount of damage, and will kill with about 2 bursts to the chest and legs, and only 1 burst for the arms and head. I hope this is useful info!

[@TheOneYouDespise343]

This video deserved a sub! I came here from rivaLxfactor

[@cayakimovich]

this actually helped me... now i don't get 3:25 games anymore :D

[@NickTheGamerTV]

i just watched a multiplayer gameplay it looks like a refined battlefield 3. although the touchups are delicious.

[@wesmatron]

Great vid, mate

[@ToPlayPressStart]

Will do. BTW which platform are you on? Just curious to see if you aim that good with M+K, Xbox 360 controller, or PS3's hand-cramping device.

[@Alpine_Gypsy]

Wow! Couple of headshots!? That's a hard head!

[@zinedliba]

i love your voice. nice guide man

[@chet039]

Great Video mate.....Raven.

[@philosofrenzy]

Luetin, I expect that you don't feel the benefit of the foregrip because of your preference for 'tap-firing' at range, rather than using 5 or 6 round bursts. With some of the weapons--the AEK stands out--it's simply impossible to keep a burst on target without the foregrip. In any case, every weapon is more accurate with the current FG + HB combo than they were with the ubiquitous pre-patch FG + Sup. setup. So fans of that setup pre-patch should do fine with the FG now--if paired with the HB.

[@kennethporter8259]

insane sensitivity all day

[@logical1989]

I think it's only camping if you wait by a spawn point. Finding a good location such as a vantage point when defending is just strategic play.

[@thunderkiss]

humblebundle bro, it's what you need

[@niFeforever]

3:06 Reloading a cartridgeles gun EPIC. :3

[@swampninja187]

Good video as always :)

[@TheDarthlightning]

I was just kidding but keep up the good work really like your vids!

[@bryonsturgill5887]

great video my friend!

[@Towndrunk26er]

Great vid.

[@drunkwasp]

I'm buying it for the falling skyscrapers...

[@darthsillyus935]

great video, i like to use the G3A3 with flash suppresor and no foregrip, its like the combination of a machine gun and the sniper rifle,.... excuse my english.

[@Sonofthefire4]

there should be one for prone also but i seem to be more accurate when i crouch n shoot which for some reason people dont really do, it helps a lot especially while you play hardcore

[@JIMvc2]

I only play on Fridays and Saturdays and the only way that I get better with my aiming to by turning of Aim assist and patience is the key to success.

[@KrissPower941]

i will definitely use you're advices man! i'll sub on you! :)

[@JimmyRammelkamp]

I think that shotguns are great for practising your aiming because if you miss that first shot you'll brobably die especially with the 870.

[@NickTheGamerTV]

attending a follow up interview next tuesday. almost guaranteed i have a job. just have to be told im hired. even then ill have to wait 2 weeks for my first paycheck.

[@xiaogunman]

Not aiming in BF3 is like not aiming in CoD. How can you not when only 3/20-100 shots (magazine cap) have to hit, AND essentially having infinite ammo with an LMG?

[@ByTheMillion]

Ah man i love the g3

[@YourPotatoGod]

don't use the flash suppressor on the QBZ - that rifle(carbine) has practically no vertical recoil, so the aimed accuracy penalty of the flash suppressor isn't worth it.

[@Snowybuffalo]

great video

[@PlaystationLOV3R]

wow great tips, thanks

[@samsimeoni4581]

And a combat efficiency medal :P

[@swampninja187]

I love the G3A3

[@georgielol]

you have a VERY awesome aim for a console player

[@ImHollywoodDroid]

the game mechanic feel is so annoying when I swap from Xbox To PC, my aim is so off for the first hour or so

[@TurkishGamer92]

increased bullet spread expansion

[@Kennuckle1]

Playstation 3. I'm trying to rack up my level, but while having fun. I'm looking for a Platoon that is organized and strategic.

[@theAWSOMEguys02]

If you use a suppressor on your gun the it will get rid of the recoil and you will get ribbons and stuff

[@Sonofthefire4]

honestly i think it should make a difference in ads less recoil less spread

[@yasslayer234]

You mean when a enemy is trying to shoot you when your trying to aim, its called flinching

[@johnathanmaturino1208]

What do you think of combining flash support and foregrip?

[@nooblover4]

3:07, nice reload

[@legoshanon]

good advice

[@ArtistikVision]

was that patch done into the pc version of console version... or both? just wondering.

[@Squrrillyadams]

dunno if you got bf3 yet, if not, you can get it used for like $20. That's the price i got mine at.

[@NickTheGamerTV]

Youre absolutely right. Its your money and I dont care either

[@9999Mihas]

Oh YEAH youre REAL PRO 1:05, in aiming

[@satorumayokohama1133]

+Tolbka Miskin xD

[@Alpine_Gypsy]

My mistake, I thought a headshot was 1 shot 1 kill.

[@DefFX84]

Danger Close! or drag the Mouse down a little bit if you shooting on Full Automatic : )

[@Jashcraft64]

When I slow down I just end up being a bigger target and end up dead. Also,when enemies shoot me I can't do anything because the bullets hitting e stop what ever i'm doing. For example if I got shit mid way into a knife,my knife would not complete. Any tips to help me? Btw I play on PC. Thanks (:
