Battlefield 3 - Aim and Accuracy Tips - Beat the Recoil (BF3)

[dovra11]

ha ha joy stick :)

[sidnas92]

You can tell that JamesEarlPowns is a previous/current CoD player.. he's playing as if he's on CoD, and completely ignoring teamwork or objectives..

[Jackg4tes]

your aim is shit

[sixDUMBbeaners]

beat the meat

[hEllzAngels0]

@MrCatseyes01 Bf3 has better graphics (good) but not as big maps though (bad).

[nothingnessx2]

hits J to start typing... anyways.

[GerassimGanchev1999]

Gets the rush ribbon for "rushing".....This dude's gonna say WTF when he gets Team Deatmatch ribbon or something?

[Hackfleischbube]

bad aiming...consoles are so bad

[valeriy1987]

aiming on consoles... really? really?????

[Apfelkerncod]

fuh console.... xD  PC ftw

(i was xbox-gamer)

[JoshCanVideo]

Stop running while shooting, you're wasting huge amounts of ammo.

[VitalSoX]

I thought this was a PC vid, not a stupid console vid... aiming on console = FAKE.

[kiwininja100]

@VitalSoX look out guys we got a jackass overhere

[LTTE2007]

A tip laser gives u a accuracy you can turn it off and on with the dpad pressing up

[Nitrozzy7]

Want to improve you accuracy? Do thumb yoga. Still bad? Learn how to correct your aim for aim stick, with the movement stick. Meaning, if you over/under-estimate the aim stick correction, use the movement stick to centre on target. Having a good sense of where you step can be helpful. Works best when wormed up.

[thefallen1616]

rush ribbon is for completing the rush gametype, not for how you play

[Snapshot290]

@thefallen1616 Maby hes saying he enjoys the rush gametype so he plays it alot, hence the load of rush ribbons.

[kiwininja100]

so i see you dont burstfire like how you should...

[MrExortia]

@kiwininja100 Burst fire gives greater recoil so ur better of with full auto except for long range.

[kiwininja100]

@MrExortia i usually only resort to fullauto in panic/rage mode. otherwise i like a to keep y distance with a rifle that has low rate-of-fire

[Drujo2k10]

@TheLiverpoolstar Who the fuck says noob anymore? And Liverpool sucks.

[TheLiverpoolstar]

i think you don't have to turn off the vibration. It's a part of making it realistic. If you can't handle such a vibration you're definitly a noob

[MrCatseyes01]

this game is crap on ps3

[TheLiverpoolstar]

@MrCatseyes01 it's not if you're not a noob like you sound like.

[MrCatseyes01]

@TheLiverpoolstar ...to you and your boyfriend the kamm ,,,,im rank 61 with a pretty good k/d ratio ,, if you silly lil internet worriors wuna step to me then come ill handle more than both you silly lil ex cod faggs , ill fucking rape you .this is proberly the first bf game you played , THIS BF is not as good as the previous bf , iv been playing bf before you were shitting in your nappies and rubbing it on your ugly faces,,silly lil fucking muppets

[JSchwarze89]

@MrCatseyes01 Are you really 37? As it doesn't show. Give me your battlelog name, I'll play against you any time.

[TheKam180]

@MrCatseyes01 fag can't handle it.

[Robin11567]

the laser is made to give the player better hipfire accuracy

[shawneboy]

Don't wanna burst bubbles, but it takes far more skill to aim with a dinky controller than it does a mouse and keyboard. You can't do the same things consistent with a controller that you can with a mouse.If you want a real tip that will yield you results, go play Unreal Tournament with a set speed faster than the default. Come back to BF3 and it will feel like everyone is moving in super slow mode. If you can't obtain pin point accuracy with a mouse after that, you probably don't belong gaming.

[civili666]

@shawneboy Are you serious? Did you do that , and do you honestly believe it can improve ones accuracy?

[wtfronsson]

noob. you "think" the laser increases hip fire accuracy? of course it fucking does, it says so RIGHT IN THE DESCRIPTION. also, your tips were basically: learn how the gun moves when you bring it up to ads, and learn to compensate the gun-specific recoil. dont you think thats pretty obvious? and that was all the help this video was to anyone. useless.

AND you did not specify playing platform in the title. i cant understand where all those likes are coming from.

[DustyDraYcoN]

The laser sight gives a better hip-fire accuracy. Read the description of the laser sight.

[NukeOoVeRQc]

i love this video!

[vitalitygames]

fucking noob

[GBIgBALL]

@JamesEarlPowns Whats a good sensitivity for xbox 360?

[Azandeer]

@GBIgBALL Two or three clicks above the default is what I usually run. I'm the medium/long range guy with assault rifles though, so you might wanna bump it up if you prefer CQB sub-machine guns or shotguns.

[qnoyl]

I agree

[Ferrari360Spyder]

Man great video ty.

You had so many opportunities to knife some of those guys...

[kabookiejoe]

see the guy who shot u at 1:40 something he should give tips

[Gcoastx]

On pc there is vibration im playing using xbox controller on pc and my aiming sucks is either that, vibration or sorry Internet that lags or I just suck...lol

[BLACKxMONSTER1]

Imchev u say u dont need video y u watch it then

[matson8008]

hey james...thats not placebo..the laser does help your hipfire accuracy...it tells u that in the hints while the level is loading

[xLycosax]

On PC theres no Vibration. Stupid console douche :D.

[ImChev]

you get the rush ribbon for playing rush dude, btw this is like a montage, awesome video i liked watching it!!

[ImChev]

im so accurate in this game, dont really need this....

[kornadict07]

"i get the rush ribbon alot".......hes playing rush.....u get it for playing rush....and if u win you get the rush winner ribbon.....hope he knows that.....seemed to me like he thinks he is a good "rusher" whatever that means lol

[IamSomeguy112]

@kornadict07 Please take a look at when the video was made before acting like a jackass.

[thomassencindiver]

Don't wanna be mean but. Alot of recoil? How about not spraying and praying?

[ThePolytic]

? freal

[nevonte16]

i use the laser sight a lot and it really does help during hip firing.

[LeikanBoy]

a low rank tryin to give tips... get real boy

[XLilShaneX]

@LeikanBoy its funny because rank has nothing to do with skill

[MegaGeertwilders]

@LeikanBoy Seek a fucking brain... Rank means nothing -.-

[sornae18]

lol you get the rush ribbon every time you finish a game.

[skysthelimit112]

Ugh I'm sorry but I hate when people say joystick instead of thumbstick. No big issue with the video though thanks for the tips :)

[FishTurd69]

wow man u just spray and pray...

[redefiningsk8ing]

the thing he said about taking vibration off your controller is bullshit, Its all about preference. you can have vibrations and still kick ass and im living proof of that.

[radseven89]

Pro Tips:

Aim for the penis if you are going full auto.

Vary the number of bullets in your bursts by range example: close targets 4-5 shot far targets 2-3 shots very far targets single fire.

SPOT

[kfiliotis]

Noobs trying to play BF3 on xbox/ps3...

[reytr0]

@kfiliotis hahah! Origin?? No thanks!

[djt6fan]

@kfiliotis Because it requires some skill after all, pc elite.

[Spartan56431]

@kfiliotis What's wrong with Xbox or PS3?

[kfiliotis]

@Spartan56431 Nothings wrong with it! PC is just more elite

[PEACE63641]

you get the rush ribbon cuz you rush?! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!! hey man i really love your vids but that shit just killed me

[richardtank]

You don't get the rush ribbon for rushing, you get it for playing a "Rush" game type!

[Fetzencommander]

OMG so fucking lame on the Console.. play on the PC

[CaughtinamoshRecords]

@Fetzencommander why dont u stop being an asshole and let him enjoy the damn game

[Jzrulz123]

You like to rush...so you get the rush ribbon...surely you mean play rush?

[TheHowlingPhantoms]

For a video on aim and accuracy you left out the hugest factor in beating recoil. BURST FIRE! And not the special selection to change from full auto, but to actually burst fire during full auto. When you spray the bullets go everywhere if you use a silencer like myself, so burst fire is essential!!!

[hee163]

Console fail.

[ainzelg]

BETA!

[nintendo4ever123]

How do you turn vibrate off on ps3? i cant find it.

[Masterpivot292]

Vibration never affects my aiming and it might just be me, but having the red laser cover my screen actually doesn't bother me.

[ZyioScalebane]

"For some reason when I user the laser sight......" lol wow.... =D

[TheOwlol]

best tip is, play it on pc?

[Delwig]

rush ribon on rush game mode? REALLY?



[SpineShank7]

Wow... the consoles don't have much recoil at all :P

[Hfajardo97]

@SpineShank7 It has the same as PC -_-

[JedediahRed]

Dude noone spells Pwns with an O so you maybe shouldnt say it in the video like its so epic, eh?

[MadmanCm]

Noob trying to give noobs tips......

[JamesEarlPowns]

@MadmanCm noob watching tip videos....

[JEAG]

@JamesEarlPowns Yup... :) Cool video BTW, but in consoles auto aim helps just too much...

[gullyguysince93]

@JamesEarlPowns laser sight boost hip fire accuracy says in description.

[BarcaFury]

@JamesEarlPowns No offense but the guy is right. The fact that in multiple parts of the video you need a full mag to kill someone that is ~20-30 feet away isn't very good. You do not need to control gun recoil with trying to move the mouse around and guess the sway of the gun. You can avoid gun recoil altogether by double or triple tapping. Shoot 2-3 bullets, stop, repeat. That is how you play. Going full auto and shooting 1 full mag without stopping is terrible play-style.

[angelfishgod]

@BarcaFury I am going to have to disagree with you, the reason it takes a full mag, is because the guns in Battlefield 3 have such little power. I literally can not play regular mode because it takes so many bullets to kill somebody, all I can stand is hardcore mode, and even there the strongest sniper usually hit markers and makes me rage.

[BarcaFury]

@angelfishgod The snipers are a 2 hit kill. Yes if it was realistic it would be nearly 1 shot 1 kill regardless of location because they are firing massive bullets like the 30 call m98b. I disagree with you about full mags. At short range, 50 meters and less, if you are accurate a double tap will take down anyone.

[The1andOnlyCG]

@angelfishgod that gun he's using, the AK-74S or whatever, is particularly terrible in terms of bullet power.

[BarcaFury]

@JamesEarlPowns Also I see that you have a console. Same thing stands for that in regards to double/triple taps. You almost never get any benefit emptying a full mag unless you are support and need to suppress a choke point.

[HollowDud]

@JamesEarlPowns

[skylinealvarado880]

@JamesEarlPowns hahahaha true

[Master10ofo]

@JamesEarlPowns what is your sensibity on your control?

ps3?

[kenti55]

@JamesEarlPowns It actually says that the "laser" increase hip fire accuracy :p

[atm4610]

@JamesEarlPowns Nice Burn!

[doggy3322]

@MadmanCm this was the beta. Noone was really used to it

[TheRedDash]

@MadmanCm

Saying the word noob tells me that you are below the age of 18 possibly 15 in which you lose all credibility cause.... you're a kid lol

[Bahamut347]

@MadmanCm just cuz about the lvl? GTFO and play cod

[Hasselpahkuna]

Why didn't you knife them ;(( 3 people in front of you :D

Nice TuT anywayz

[rhyscw01]

I get the Rush ribbon a lot in this game..... LOL thats because you are playing rush...

[FINOlmi]

I'm not boasting as some pc elitist but I haven't even noticed the idle sway of the guns because the mouse is pretty good at countering it and the recoil

[roxxphatcox]

Who plays FPS`s with a gamepad... crazy ppl, thats who!

[AtilaCXL]

I swear to god, people who make these videos are on magical servers where everyone is as bad as me.

[GrimLP]

@AtilaCXL Exactly. I would kill to have enemies as blind and oblivious as some of these commentators are playing against.

[runescapeep1c]

@AtilaCXL so true

[1356g0]

Y U NO KNIFE?

[o0clayman0o]

try to burstfire at the enemys head (:

it's the fastest way to kill an enemy^^

[antonio66634]

@o0clayman0o not really, it depends on how far they are. Try to aim at the head when they are at > 50m and u won't even hit them

[o0clayman0o]

@antonio66634 right but i can headshot enemys even when they are at >50m because i am goodlike lol

[sigsaursamurai]

Lol, what? How crazy is the rumble on your controller for it to mess up your hold on a joystick??

[hernandezfamily1998]

That's how I do it but with weapons with very high recoil and second I don't camp I slowly go around the map and kill everyone I can. But I do pull down on the right stick when I'm firing at someone that's far away its pretty useful

[Officerpolabear]

Good video but one thing: you don't get the rush ribbon for 'rushing' a lot. You get it for playing a match of rush, which is a game type. :P

[ImmaEminem]

bad company 2 is a way better game

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@ImmaEminem Yeah, BF3 is too dumbed down and COD'ed. And the maps sucks.

[ImmaEminem]

@TheRitchardgaleHater not to mention the huge amount of bugs.. ever tried jumping over something?... yeah..

[TheRitchardgaleHater]

@ImmaEminem The servers are terrible aswell.

[OpenGLSecond]

@ImmaEminem yeah, I did, and he jumped. What bugs? Myself in FULL game(not beta, which is btw made to tets game and fins bugs) have never found any bugs...

[ImmaEminem]

So the exp bug is unfamiliar to you? The one that caused half the community to be max level in a day

[OpenGLSecond]

@TheRitchardgaleHater oh really???

[srebrnyAg]

another console idiot.. don't play fps games.. u r doing it wrong, bro.

[RegularRage]

TURN RUMBLE OFF? what kind of socially awkward hardcore idiot are you? I play games for entertainment like every normal person

[Kynana69]

@RegularRage Some people only have fun when there wining

[Jappeke007]

For some reason, the aiming in BFBC2 was alot smoother and better. The aiming in Bf3 on console sucks balls and frustrates me all the time..

[BleachFanOne]

the best tip is to aim for center mass and let the recoil lead into a headshot. boom, just saved everyone 3 minutes.

[runescapeep1c]

@BleachFanOne what if the recoil goes to the right or the left?

[BleachFanOne]

@runescapeep1c if the recoil flows in a upper left motion aim for the right hip/shoulder and it will then lead into a headshot. vise versa if it recoils to an upper right motion, but aim for the left hip/shoulder. not to hard to figure it out after a few practical kills to figure out where to aim per gun. since each gun may have the same stats, they have diffrent recoil amounts, from a little, to a "holy fuck, i'm spraying everywhere but straight!" kind of recoil.

[runescapeep1c]

@BleachFanOne what gun has little recoil? if you have one i will try to unlock it.

[BleachFanOne]

@runescapeep1c i dunno, i dont own bf3. not yet anyways. :/ if you have it you should know the guns by now.

[runescapeep1c]

@BleachFanOne only the snipers :s ive got 200,000 xp in recon and like 2000 in the others..

[RedHotHermann]

@BleachFanOne aim for the dick, hit the head

[MCbrodie86]

the problem with this video is the use of a controller.

[weeooee]

um if anyone bothered to check the descriptions for the laser sight, it tells you it helps your hipfire accuracy

[arrowmouse]

The reason you feel like your hip-fire is much better with a laser sight is because using a laser sight gives a hip-fire accuracy bonus.

[DrKnockOut99]

turning off vibration of the controller is a good idea i never thought about that. id still want to enjoy the game tho

[StallordD]

Are you related to josh butterballs from stupidobvious magazine?

[sleonardmc]

you hold down to compensate the recoil? what is this concept you speak of?

[MrMaf00]

Fuck off back to cod.

[MrMaf00]

"There's a lot of recoil" -> There's realistic recoil*

[MrMaf00]

1. Fire in bursts

2. Aim for the head.

[itzMoTioNZ95]

this is a terribe tip video

[foxcell21]

an extra tip, dont ADS with a handgun, more accuracy from the hip trust me :)

[5up3r4554551n]

Orrrrr, you could fire in short bursts...

[WatchMeDropem]

Thanks for this man, your videos really help my game bigtime.



[Vantagik]

Try burst shooting for enemies at a distance.

[FLYxEVOLUTION]

you sound like seth rogen lol

[MultiMediaCentralPro]

This comment has received too many negative votes

[dragonsGTO]

The laser sight makes the cross hairs smaller, therefore making hip fire much easier.

[domoney1011]

You do know the rush ribbon is just for playing the game type...

[davklav]

The laser sight increases hip fire derp.

[justsawyerwoopoop]

On wendsday next week I finally get my own internet to play game with no lag, but I will only have cod black ops and cod 4 :( wish i had battlefield 3

[OldskoolDM80s90s]

Thanks for the tip. I have been struggling for a while handling the recoil on almost every Assault weapon. I'm not much of a gamer but i love Battlefield3

[GRMuchoDinero]

thanks for the tips!!!how can i make a multplayer game/map on xbox 360/ps3?

[Ang3lScar]

@GRMuchoDinero you cant.... this isnt halo.

[RHINOCRUNCH]

we got some bf3 pro tip videos, check us out

[CBMMmercinary]

The laser actually does increase hip fire accuracy....its part of the game

[friskyisfat]

I just use the recoil to my advantage. I start around the chest area and the recoil usually brings me to a head shot

[hughmasters11]

the laser sight is supposed to improve your hipfire accuracy

[xTornadow]

Is it just me or bf3 has a shitty aiming system? (unlike other fps') Just try moving the stick very fast and you will notice the flaw. Unlike all other fps'.. although I love this game, aiming sucks.

[Logical19]

the laser helps with firing from the hip as the game tip says

[Seppermand]

@coecoo you dont have Many friends do you?? Ist okay i would just like to remind you that ist a game.... No need to be a bitch :-)

[tootlepuff]

Not sure about you but on xbox 360 for me, my aim will randomly twitch to the left when aiming directly at an enemy.

Ill start shootn someone than bam aiming left and dead, I even turned my sensitivity really low and it will twitch faster than I can actually move my sight if I try really terrible glitch.

[KimCheeHuu]

Never thought about turning off the vibration. I do like it tho but i can see how it could also mess w/ ur aiming. I'll try it out. Good tip!

[xXVIRUS443Xx]

@xXExtremeRampageXx

[xNOOBxHUNTERx]

hers my tip, use grip

[DevilFruitUserLogia]

anyone can shhot at those moron that are just functioning as dummy's

[JamesEarlPowns]

@Coecoo The funny thing about this is your trying to get attention to feel like you are someone important but we all know you lonely. Just admit and get a life. In the end I win. I got my views and I will just block you and erase all your messages so you can't even get the attention you need to feel good about yourself. #Winning

[OnlyTubenami]

@Coecoo Coecoo

1. No. You're a fanboy for making a rediculous joke bashing consoles for no reason, then proceding to call console users "retards". Also, that advice is piss poor if a person is using, say, an Intel Atom, or a Pentium.

2. ..... Because i can? Why not use a computer to talk about consoles? That's just idiotic. But again, you haven't answered my question. Why bring up the PC?

[OnlyTubenami]

@Coecoo What i don't get is, why bring up the PC when no one cares?

[JamesEarlPowns]

@JartBansen I want you to watch my videos so I can kick back and relax and collect youtube money :) Thanks for the late Christmas present.

[FrozenKing142]

@JamesEarlPowns colect money?how?

[xNilez]

@JamesEarlPowns dude i wana say...tysm...for posting this...im a brand new battlefield player...and i need some help...also....if u wouldnt mind....i need to know some good guns...like...a good sniper...i debating between the l96 and the sv88....but tysm again...plz dont stop the vids :) ur doing good..and posting the right content.

[IceGene]

@xNilez m98B when you have it. small clip capacity but fires bullets at faster velocities minimizing bullet drop. then m40a5 for medium to long ranged sniping with a large cap mag.

[NevaSayNoToPanda]

@JartBansen ruined bf franchise - makes millions of dollars...

@JartBansen Thats on PC you TIT!!
