Battlefield 3: SV98 Recon Streak

[Vmt16]

I personally prefer the 8x rifle scope and the 12x ballistic simply because it's easier to get the lead right on a moving target with those. For me at least.

[01MLin]

Watching these B3 vids is making me miss the game tremendously. I want to transition from console B3 to PC B3...for obvious reasons. also because I don't have a tv to play it on at the moment ='(

anyways, what would be a good, basic PC setup, decently-priced (I'm a college student) to handle the sheer epic immensity that is Battlefield 3? I'll do my research, but I figured I might as well go to the peeps that're already in the know. Any comments appreciated!

[Threatty]

@01MLin I'd say, GTX 580 for graphics card, Intel Core i5 2500k for processor, at least 4 gigs of RAM memory and your good to go. Shouldn't be too hard to scratch up a PC around those for about a 1000$. Also, you can try sites like Digital Storm to see if they have a pre-built PC for your needs.

[KnightRite]

@01MLin @threatty You don't need a $500 graphics card to run the game btw. That's only if you want ultra settings. You can do BF3 well at medium-high settings at respectable framerates with a GTX 560Ti (around $250). As for the processor a 2500k is really good price for performance. If you can I'd recommend waiting for the newer GPU line from Nvidia (and the rest of AMD's cards) & Ivy Bridge processors from Intel (although for gaming IVY won't make too much of a difference). Just my two cents.

[01MLin]

@KnightRite ; I sold my 47 plasma last semester so what I have to resort to when playing battlefield is a small, oldschool box tv; I'm basically shooting at grains of sand. Compared to that, the gtx 560Ti on medium-high settings will practically blow me away lol.

at the top of your head, how much does the setup you're describing run for?

[KnightRite]

@01MLin A 2500k with a 560Ti is running around $850 (prices usually go up or down a few dollars due to changing prices & mail in rebates) but I highly recommend waiting because newer hardware is around the corner (like a couple months). I'd wait for Ivy Bridge, newer Nvidia 6xx cards & the full lineup of AMD's 7xxx cards. You can probably get good deals on current hardware but it won't be too cheap.

[01MLin]

Hey, it took 4, no 5, no 6, well technically with that last revive, 7...7 guys on the opposite team to take one lone rambo down.

kudos.

[bakkfade]

when the next battlefield comes out everybody is gonna be like bf3 was way better it happens with evey game this game is the shit!

[2muchmayo]

Hey threatty, I've seen a couple of people do that same prone, sprint trick in game and in other videos like you do at 2:00 and at 2:19. could you tell us how to execute that maneuver? oh and awesome vid btw. hopefully we can get a bf3 montage out of you someday eh? :) looking forward to it

[TaSSS122]

@2muchmayo prone,prone,shift,space

[EpicusxxNL]

Damn nicegameplay! Loveit!:)

Peace.

[lordsangone]

will there be another full metal version for bf3? that would be so epic. full metal2 was the best montage ive ever seen for any game esp for fps'. firestorm2 was perfect for vietnam. perhaps you can do a combination montage for all three? either way im lookin forward to any montage or gameplay in the near future for bf3. the game needs some serious attention and love from the community. you would be the perfect ambassador for this potentially awesome game. thanx and good luck.

[KrowiSutek]

nice gameplay you have got some skills:)

[DOWWADC]

Really enjoyed the gameplay :) inspiring me to get better with the recon class!

[YaBoyOnDaBlock]

Why are you canceling is it a habit from the good old BFBC2 days lol

[corveGT1PL]

Awesome shooting, man. I personally can't go any good with the SV98, M98b is what makes me deadly. I see we have same pistol switching habit also :)

[bestialbear666]

If at all possible you should do the "respect the . . ." sort of series haha. Those clips were always fucking amazing.

[VaultBoyUA]

You liake me have pistol switch reflexes from BC2 :D

[berlinmaster125]

aaahhhhh shit the last people :\

[omlg4svector]

Awesome video! But why are you using a laser on a bolt action?

[ZerstoerenDieStille]

Love the raw gameplay, I find that editing just takes away from what is a great game.

[Dirtbag3377]

hey, what does the mav do when you just fly it and then get out of it?

[Radianceable]

@Dirtbag3377 It acts like the TUGS. It works as a motion sensor and makes enemies that are around the area you placed it appear on your map.

[dryiyc]

You are better with a bolt action than I am.

[Guy9502]

i love how you work with the mini-map. most of the players don't care about it and ignore it.

you play great!

[VertXGamingHD]

What PVR are you using or what program?

[peanutbutterjelly31]

Gameplay with an actual kit is a lot more fun to watch

[SythestBF3]

Nice drag shots, got a bit stale in the middle but other than that nice video.

[Threatty]

@SythestBF3 I understand that these kind of videos of unedited gameplay can be a bit boring. However, there are those who still enjoy these, so I'll keep uploading unedited gameplay clips that I feel are worth posting every now and then.

[SnelKebab]

@Threatty No no, your unedited vids are great! Went back to your old channel yesterday just to watch "Don't revive him bro" and "Rex feeding time". Keep 'em coming! Oh, but of course I wouldn't mind watching another Full Metal video...

[SythestBF3]

@Threatty Fair enough, I'll still watch :)

[anthcesana]

@Threatty There were no boring bits to me. I liked the middle section because it showed me that you ACTUALLY MISSED couple of shots! The skills with the sniper rifle while playing the objective were impressive. I've actually tried with no scope at all with the bolt actions, to be a little more mobile while capturing flags. Brings back the unique character that World at War bolt actions had. Very nice video. By tuning the aim, do you mean just your practice and persistence?

[Threatty]

@anthcesana Yes, pretty much just adjusting the mouse sensitivity just right, and getting that twitch aiming right. Just takes practice.

[SteamzV1]

Are you still trying to reload cancel in BF3?

[PSNMarksmanSniper]

lol at the first shot u made, still thought there was bolt canceling eh?

[Threatty]

@PSNMarksmanSniper @SteamzV1 Nope, you see whenever I try to get a 1 shot kill headshot, I tend to insta-switch to my pistol just incase I need to fire a couple of finishers, but if I see that I get the kill then I insta-switch after the insta-switch to my primary again, which delays the bolt-action but gives me the opportunity to react with my pistol instead of being caught unarmed while cycling the bolt.

[GORDON3013]

simplemente...increíble

[GrimmRipper2]

Almost!

[Acefychan]

Shame you didn't get those at 5:00, you were way up their asses.

[thaandiesel]

good yob yo! yeah, not the most spectacular, but a pleasure to watch :) keep it up!

[oogabubchub]

Why do you use the last attachment on a sniper rifle? Seems like it would add no benefit, and only give away your position.

[xSnipeStroker]

I don't understand this? 2 kill with a SV98?

[remember2023]

vay vay ama da siktin dusmani :)

[kekologic]

Threatty, Whats Your Fav Sniper? , Ive Unlocked All Of Them But Not really Sure Which One To Use :)

[xpeacockx]

@kekologic I'm not Threatty but the M40 is one of the best IMO

[Tsazao]

I love my SV98 Rifle scoped

[xwaltranx]

instant dislike for any sniper rifle/reconish thing. nothing personel.

[xpeacockx]

It seems like headshots are easier than ever in BF3

[bourneultamatum]

@xpeacockx I can see your point, but you've got to remember who's playing here :)

[xpeacockx]

@bourneultamatum I was just making a general statement, I haven't really watch the video

[ads18091978]

Still a beast Threatty, still a beast.

[NUGGAJAUT]

Nicely done dude. Recon needs more players like you on the battlefield, it's being neglected :*(

[MortalTorttu]

ebin

[crashiedk]

Pretty cool montage, you look like a solid soldier! Keep it up, I enjoy watching you :)

[lenman05005]

sniping in bc2 was waaaaay better :(

[THAJaknblak]

This reminds me why I like sniping. I switched over to using PDWs...man I miss my M98B!

[idontgiveafork]

Everyone that wants to play Recon in BF3 - THIS is how you do it. Take objectives, help your team, counter-snipe, use your tools (great MAV placement!) and in general don't be a camping ass-tard.

One tactic he didn't show here is to lay on an objective while you deploy your MAV (he had to seek cover first). Doing so means that you are capturing the objective WHILE providing surveillance for the rest of your team. Win-Win.

[fraserdonaldmcgregor]

nice playing man.

[shahrouzkhan200]

u had to jump 1 sec later :D ;)

[laplanteconsulting]

Long episodes please, love them!!

[MadSupra354]

I hated that sniper. It's probably the worst bolt-action to start with, and you're stuck with it for ever before you unlock the M40A5!

[Snide666]

Oh my God! They killed Threatty! You bastards!

[KRAJISNIK21]

SV98 stil on of me favorit snipers :))

[cabteenigaming]

go finland! <3

[poepsunom]

Nice aiming bro !

[thebeaterz16]

nice

[JelleHD]

YES!

Threatty's video + 1080p + Fullscreen = AAAAAAWWWW YEAAAAAH

[bencrf450r]

Laughable at best. Miss some more shots please.

[FinVpo137]

what is the use with laser on snipers?

[XanaxTheAce]

Is this gameplay HC or not? However in every case GG :D

[81Draco]

Really nice!

[Adiam3]

This is such a great example that sniping doesn't have to involve camping, have to link this to all campers I meet ^^

[xBlackStormBR]

SV98 is soo sexy <3

[JamieEHILLS]

Solid!

[Threatty]

@JamieEHILLS Thanks man, glad to hear that from a beast like you =)

[thetute59]

Too many enemies, even for threatty :-( But well played ;-)

[jeremgym59]

nice gameplay man!like it! if you have the time have got few montage with sniper too ;)

[CrusaderZero]

Sometimes when i play battlefield , i like to think im Threatty and own the shit out of people.

[ozorg]

Awesome gameplay!

[CHA1RMANsmoug]

PLEASE teach us how to do that Snail jump!!!!

[xInSaNeKIWI]

OMFG. I WANT THIS GAME NOW!

[powmful]

@Bull3tLaaag

Play compeditive? It like transformes a game into something better and different, for the first time it's like as if you've never played it before.

[wovnHD]

Threatty, this wasn't anything special, really. I know you can do much better :)

[powmful]

Nah recon kit in this game is underpowered. Just for the MAV. Engi and Assault as always are the best kits.

[MrParris2]

dude please use a m40

[Simonize15]

Btw, nice games yesterday :). "simonnice" was my name. That Renkovsky dude was sick :P.

[TheNextLevel247]

You legend Threatty!

[leg3ndpk3er]

THREATTY WHY U AIM SOO GOOD

[9MinamiKe6]

Great to see you upload more frequent Threatty :)

Try to keep this up, I love watching videos from you guys.

[Bull3tLaaag]

Bf3 was amazing, and still is for the most part... minus playing entire teams of USAS frag rounds, i get bored after 1 game now

[Simonize15]

The SV98 is great, though not as good as it was in BC2 :). The L96 is my new favorite in BF3.

[SgtGeorgeJr]

Hi Threatty!

Last night I was playing on Gulf of Oman

and I saw a sniper trying to flank me and I see his gamertag being similar to 'Threatty'.

So as soon as I face him... instant headshot

[SV98] Threatty ......maybe it's really him then :)

[elsen4life]

Sweet video!

[ApeAlek]

You should get a MAV kill streak and put it up on youtube, R-R-R-ROOOAAADKIIILLS

[bennybee100]

great to see someone using the MAV for its designed purpose instead of as an elevator to some rooftop to camp, good stuff Threatty.

[DrunkenSamurai18]

lol a blank tag is scared to have his name on someones last taken dog tags

[jonastuling]

swag

[Capitanatom1xx]

agresiv recon ? no=you noob

[R1Pp3eRr]

By the way, awesome clip!

[Threatty]

@R1Pp3eRr To each their own I guess... Then again, BF3 IS THE BEST OMG COD SUCKS!!!!!

[HumbleObserver]

@R1Pp3eRr How fucking DARE YOU!

[TheCelphish]

I love your videos, keep em coming!

[johnsoon330]

Keep 'em coming!

[schumakew]

just have a look at how many enemies were coming at you... hilarious imo if you axe me

[Threatty]

@schumakew Haha, yeah. I didn't really stand a chance at the end there.

[Freddykruegertime]

@Threatty hey, you have the M1911?

[72U11]

@schumakew If I axe you?

[schumakew]

lmao how to become the most wanted player on BF3 lol... i love it

[dawgyo]

<3 you threatty :D you and enigma are beasts.

[thefunny1js]

nice

[Reyvius78]

Fuu at 4:58 lol

[Reyvius78]

4:58... FUUUUU ;(

[steveatbogs]

Super crawl is so lame...

[Melee2Kil]

4:29 how do you do that, without waiting for the stand up animation?

[Polnadian]

Hey Threatty, have you watched any of birgirpall's BF3 vids?

[DawsyFAM]

dont call me a noob or anything but why did u take your mav out and put it on that building?

[mrnomnomthecool]

@DawsyFAM it works like a mobile radar while not using it

[R4ms74r]

@DawsyFAM MAV has a motion sensor.

[dawgyo]

@DawsyFAM Bro everyone starts somewhere :) Like other said, it works as a radar for you, GREAT for your team mates and when your sniping :) Hope that helps.

[r1coshet]

snail jump :3 

[ippoish]

hey bro.... i have 67 lvl just sinping... (pc and ps3) i recomend some tactic pistol (sorry for my english)

[MrUltimatePizza]

how do you slide on the ground like you and Sgt. enigma do?

[HS431997]

i dont know what it is i just hate the look of the russian scope 7x it looks like they didnt finish it or something

[DaveRock29]

Theratty how does your sight doesnt move when you scope in at 2:30? hold your breath button or what?

[GrandHighGamer]

@DaveRock29 Shift holds your breath, yeah.

[DjGeraldo0023]

People still play bf3?

[MrUltimatePizza]

@DjGeraldo0023 why... this guy pretty much only uploads BF3 content. why would you be subbed to him or even watch this video if you dont like BF3 content?

besides, yes, people still play BF3, people still play BF2 and CSS, because they're actually good quality games and don't need overpriced DLC or a new, same-engine release every year to keep it fresh.

[hammerman2006]

@DjGeraldo0023 what do u think dumbass?

[sspope]

Why are you using the laser attachement? You're just alerting your preys of being targeted.

[MrUltimatePizza]

@sspope it increases hipfire accuracy, therefore heightening his chances of getting close-range noscopes.

[sspope]

@MrUltimatePizza I know, but you should at least turn it off when looking through the scope.

[Wounderbot]

Awesome as always Threatty!

[bl1nd2012]

I would like to see Full Metal 3 montage, based on this game

[BaadHQ]

How did you get you fov to such a high degree?

[The7guys]

@BaadHQ its in the settings. He has FOV turned up to max -- which is 90

[BaadHQ]

@The7guys But isn't the fov higher than that in this video? Feels like more of the viewmodel is shown. I might just remember it wrong though.

[iRosty]

@The7guys

90 isn´t the max. you can go up to 200 trough the cfg. and i think this here is also over 90 ;)

[Driftking3268]
