  • My*

  • God can't wait for Rfm2 I check about twice a day on ky phone lol

  • @ryandpahl oh wow thanks kinda stupid

  • u just earned a subscriber

  • I'm a good sniper in BF3 because it has become part of my instincts to automatically calculate the amount of drop but occasionally I'm off. I need some sort of a bullet drop chart or guide to determining the drop properly :/

  • @ryandpahl Where is that last shot ? I can't seem to get over a thousand meter headshot on sharqi peninsula

  • @MrAcidicpulse

    Thats oman, from a RHIB boat to hotel. Sharqi max is only like 600 or so.

  • @ryandpahl yes I agree and I am willing to wait and see your videos and that's why I have been subscribed for a long while

  • I really want to see that long range one!!

  • @MrAcidicpulse

    Thats what everyone wants to see, but I want to make sure the movies flow in a logical order so that in the future you can watch them start to finish and it all flows together nicely.

    I want to push these out faster, I know many people are waiting to see. But I don't want to publish anything thats sub-par. I assume that most people subscribe to my channel because of the work and quality I try to put into my videos. So hopefully the videos are worth the wait.

  • @ryandpahl and if I think of anything else I will be sure to post it here

  • @ryandpahl well I already have everything for recon kit but the other parts sound awesome

  • @ryandpahl what is Rfm2 about

  • @MrAcidicpulse

    part 2 Begginers guide to leveling up the recon kit 60% done

    Rough ideas for the rest :

    part 3 using your full kit

    part 4 long range sniping

    part 5 team play

    If you have ideas, or things you want me to cover let me know.

  • @ryandpahl Request: Teach us how to snipe with silencer :D

  • @ryandpahl what is Rfm2 about

  • okay you were complaing about your mouse sensitivity i suggest a R.A.T 7 mouse that has a button that will lower sensitivity when snipin

  • @pickmeplz100

    Yeah I need a new mouse, my tilt buttons are starting to show thier age and do not work all the time. Not sure what I'll get yet, but RAT is in the list of options.

  • Awesome thanks for the info

  • I love battlefield 3 the only downside i find is the sniping, i'm in awe of people that are good at it! but it feels like a chore to play the class myself, i only play sniper so i can unlock things

  • @ryandpahl so is the new video up this weekend or delayed

  • @MrAcidicpulse

    Delayed...Main video is done, but I decided to add a little extra bit to the end in the intrest of being thorough. I'm doing a bullet drop comparison of BF3 to real life. If all goes well I will upload it tonight.

    Then its on to RFM 2.1

  • Too bad there aren't more powerful scopes in this game. 12x just isn't enough at over a mile out. It's do-able, but a moving target is almost down to luck.

  • I'm sorry dude, but if you fail in writing "Battlefield 3" I'm not watching it.

  • @kossan90 well oh my fucking god!

  • when is the second episode coming out?

  • @EliteUav

    when I get time, stupid work, who invented that.

    I have been working on a different BF3 video that should be uploaded this weekend. Then I will dive back into Part 2 which is about 25% complete at the moment. A 26 hour day would help my cause.

  • Hello Ryan!

    I have a GTX 560 Ti and was wondering if the AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE 3.4 GHz is a good choice for a new CPU? Right now I have a pretty bad one: AMD Athlon II X2 220 2.8 GHz.

    Thank you!

  • @BFn3xt

    The developers said the game was optimized for quad core. I figure that answers your question

  • What is your battlelog name? It would be fun to be play together.

  • @auriskv

    FAQ on my webpage

  • @ryandpahl Ya I love the larger maps I have my longest shots at those places and they are good for sniping in general because they give the snipers environment

  • I take back my recent comment I have recently gone back to bfbc2 and forgot about the map sizes

  • @MrAcidicpulse

    BF3 has some small maps : seine crossing and Op Metro come to mind. But its nicely balanced with some of the largest maps ever in a BF title. Like firestorm and Kharg island. I prefer the big maps, and I hope they design some that are even larger.

  • I know I am very suprised more people don't watch him

  • Dude... U deserve much more viewers and subscribers!

  • Nice video! Just understood the thing with DPI and ingame settings. It is very annoying when it jumps that "pixel" to the side of the enemy you want to shoot! I hope this will increase my acuracy :)

  • Hey man, from 7:55 - 8:25 you mention how some targets do not appear at distances. I was wondering if you have found anything else on this as this happens to me all the time consistently over 900M making long range shots very hard.

  • @RMakane

    What I have noticed, is that you can see standing and running targets through the scope out past 2000 meters, but as soon as they crouch or go prone, they disapear. It also depends if they are standing behind a ledge or rock, the geometry of the map changes at long ranges, this is why you can sometimes see guys floating 5 feet above the ground.

  • @ryandpahl Ok, I hope they patch these problems soon because it makes long range sniping tricky. my longest shot was made by shooting at where i thought they were, pure luck.

  • @ryandpahl Hey, I was wondering if you have found any information about the disappearing models at long ranges. I have not been able to find any information about what happens at the long ranges on any website or forums. I think it maybe a system failure on my computer because very few people are having this problem.

  • @RMakane

    Nothing. I imagine there is some sort of code that says if an object takes up less than X number of pixels, don't draw it anymore to help free up resources.

  • @ryandpahl Mmm. ok Thats a pain in the ass thanks for the help anyway.

  • I must say I'm a little disappointed with bf3 stealth because they're isn't any that's why I have decided to go back to bfbc2

  • Just saying it's not me, just found it, lol

  • @DrSeera

    I have been searching for the longest possible shots on all maps. I was NOT using vehicles to help increase my range possibilities. So this could be possible after all.

    I'll post what ever I find.

  • Guys check out the longest youtube headshot on 3000 m! Search for "bf3 longest headshot 3239" then it's the top one.

  • @DrSeera

    If your going to hack the game, why not just go for 5000 meters? No one cares about staged setups on hacked servers.

  • @DrSeera

    Don't bother looking, its a staged setup on a hacked server...so who cares.

  • @ryandpahl maximum range of m98b is 3250m :D

    watch my video: /watch?v=VFqAc7gQV1s

  • @TristanB6

    Yeah, I've been looking for a way to use that sweet 3250 range. I'm annoyed that many people have beat me to the goal. I had a nice setup on wake island worth about 2600 from a RHIB to the island.

    I didn't think the heli's gave you extra distance on the boundries of the map. I thought only jets could go beyond the hash marks. Shame on me for not trying.

  • Guys check out the longest headshot on youtube, search for "bf3 longest headshot 3239" then its the one at the top.

  • good vid buddy, even tho iam a console player.

    Are you gonna do an in dept vid about the different riffles, bulletdrop, locations?

  • really nice video..and awesome sniper skills :D

  • Very nice!

  • Very awesome tips and shots. What I'd like to know is how high I have to aim for do a long range kill like about 800-1200 m . I will buy the game and I want to snipe like you, you are the best sniper in bf3 i have ever seen!

  • awesome! I was too caught up flying in bf2... with your new series, I feel I can get into this whole new side of bf

  • Wtf... which kind of a monitor runs at 2048 x 1152 ._.?

  • @Reaper2794

    TV's run at the standard 1920x1080, large computer monitors run at higher resolutions.

    2560x1440 is true HD for a single screen, although very few offer that resolution. I imagine in the next few years we will see more and more monitors offering the higher resolutions. Its only a matter of time.

  • @ryandpahl i dont get how that answers my question haha, your monitor's res is at 2048 x 1152 which i've never heard of, the highest ive heard of on a single screen is 2560 x 1600

  • FINALLY :DDD

  • I have an LED monitor with a refresh rate limited to that of 60hz as well, but that doesn't mean that if your GPU is rendering more than 60 frames per second that those frames are "wasted". Granted, the picture won't be any smoother with higher framerates, but your mouse input will be far more responsive and "snappy" with framerates above 100+ fps.

  • @7fiLthy7

    You will only get the feedback of how your mouse is moving from the 60 frames you can see. You could be getting 1 million frames per second, but if you can only see 60 of them, then you have no idea how your mouse is responding during the 999,940 frames you missed.

    I would suggest that based on your analysis, the mouse would most likely feel laggy because of all the missed information.

    I stand by my origional statement.

  • Hey does anyone know how a GeForce GTX 545 will do with this game?

  • @AxTROUSRxMISSLE yes it will work^^

  • @Homer2124 Thanks, do you know how well and possibly what settings i might be able to use? If not its fine.

  • @AxTROUSRxMISSLE can't really tell you that

    i would use the minimum settings if i were you :S

  • man ur videos made me play bf 2 better, so im glad u back on track :D

  • Can this game be played on a mac? or PC only? and is the lack of videos because of this series?

  • well done once again sir

  • merry christmas ryandpahl!

  • What is your favourite Sniper Rifle ?

  • @Nunne18

    That depends on what I'm doing.

    For long range, nothing beats the M98B with a bipod.

    Medium range I like a suppressed M40A5.

    For the really small maps I use the M39EMR.

  • Hey Ryan, I have a question. Do you have a special mouse matt?

  • @norwegiangangsta

    Nope, I hate mouse pads.

  • You are so smart, taken some NZT pills ?

  • I absolutely love this new series, thanks.

  • Awesome, thank you so much!!

  • awesome video as always :D can't wait for the next one!

  • Oh yeah and when can I expect the next episode? :)

  • @TheShapie95

    Going to play the game for a while before I begin the next episode. Probably start production after the holidays

  • Great video as always. Really excited for the new series. Two questions: I saw you were using the m39. Do you prefer that for the semi autos? and what do you think of the l96? I play on ps3 and it seems to have a pretty limited range. The bullet always disappears about midway after the first notch. I'm not sire if its just a rendering glitch or not, but I can't get kills over 900m with it at the moment.

  • Why do you need to over clock the video card and what is over clocking?

  • @madblazars In a simple form its just making your video card think its a better video card

  • @11111ozzy11111 thanks

    

  • @madblazars But the tradeoff is less life on your card though, if done right however, it only takes a few days or weeks off its life, if done wrong, it can take months or years off (if you don't fry it instantly)

  • @CassyCalv thanks for the tip

  • @madblazars

    Over clocking is running a device at more than 100% of factory specs. This creates more heat and can fry the unit if not properly cooled. Running faster gives better frame rates at the cost of lowering the life span of your device.

    At this point in life, I can afford to run the risk. If the GPU fries, it gives me a reason to upgrade.

  • Very nice first episode ryan, i need to lower my sensitivity a little as i also had the problem with my crosshairs bounce from side to side on long ranged targets. cant w8 for you to figure while equiping the soflam.

    looking forward to your next episode!

  • You are the best commentator.

  • Ryan, google the Rat 7 or 9 mouse and read up on the precision mode button. You will go bananas. It is the PERFECT balance between speed and precision.

  • Thanks you, Ryan! Continue with the series!

  • Awesome!, thank you again for another useful sniper school video!, When going lowest mouse sensitivity it will affect ure close range gameplay ofcourse, but is there a way to bind default to lowest sensitivity for quick change? 

  • @weedrea

    I don't know. I am still messing around with mouse settings. I have not found what I consider to be the perfect balance. I tweak between almost every round.

  • @weedrea The corsair m60 gaming mouse has a dedicated sniper mode button for reducing the mouse sensitivity.

  • whats comming up next? i need some tips for longe range sniping, e.g. how high to aim...

  • @DwBrot

    Tactics for ranking up and high score. Getting unlocks.

  • hey, great video. so excited for BF3 Sniperschool!

    but one thing, lowering the windows sensitivity makes the mousepointer not moving 1:1 and is actually bad, if you are looking for extreme precision.

    im not really good in explaining this, because english isnt my mother tongue..

    just saying, if you get along with it its great.

    best would be to max the mouse dpi (in your case with the resolution) and lower the ingame sens in the config ( e.g. 0.09)

  • Thank you for the video, im watching you since BF2 movies :) and u're still a master for me

  • MAN you are awesome! i wish you have xbox so we can play together. :)

  • thanks ryandpahl for a excellent field manual. I´m a dedicated BF3 sniper my self. just need the time to play. to mutch real hunting and the work take its ime too =) thanks again for our superb vid on you channel

  • omg omg omg

  • Dxtory is the best recording software because even on ultra settings and resolution in 1920x1080 the frames are still consistently in the sixties or higher depending if you don't use fram limiter on it.

  • My PC beats and meets the system requirements! Intel i7 960 3.2 GHz Sapphire Pure Black X58 i7 Motherboard Sapphire 6950 2GB HD Graphics Card 600 Watt Be Quiet Power Supply Coolermaster CM 690 II Advanced Case G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit CPU Cooler Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 I play on Ultra at 1680x1050 resolution (My screen resolution) with AA on 2x. Thank you Ryan for the video, next video could you please use the M40A5 a lot more? Thanks!
  • @JameslKingsley

    I plan to cover all rifles in future videos. I prefer to use the M98B, but the M40A5 is sweet.

  • nice video! everything is for me on low :((

  • Very nice job Ryan. Just what I was hpoing for. Im looking forward to future videos.

    I have many subscripsions, but I always go to you first. My mouse is the Razer Imperator with 5600 DPI. And the Razer Lycosa keyboard.

  • WTF

  • Most of the times when I play a team boss I am a sniper, I can view my team and cover them as a sniper, as you say a team full of snipers is not a team, I absolutly agree with that

  • @happymark1805

    I play with 3-4 good friends on Team speak. Team play is huge for me, even though my videos may not show it.

  • 1300mts with mk11

  • Ryand, Nice vid Man!!! Merry Chistmas!!! for you and your family

  • All this long range HS are cool. But most snipers are just dead weight for the team. Lying miles away from the action, missing most of the shots... Maybe killing several targets in the whole round. How boring is that? Nah... I used to be a fan of sniping, then I took a knife in the ass.

  • @Slider2k

    If your only killing a couple guys per round your doing something wrong. Next episode is going to cover ranking up, and analyze the best tactics for points.

  • YESSSSSSSSSS!

  • Nice job mate, made my day when i seen you had uploaded another sniping video. Havent played a round with you for a good year or so mate Hope i see you out on the battle field mate.

  • *****

  • ooooh yes been waitin for this!

  • Great vid btw

  • AWESOME! Just got a my 700 in today and now this. Sick

  • Nice video! I have watched all of ur sniping videos since bf2 xD

  • Thanks for that disclaimer about the REAL "bush wookies" in the beginning. Bad players give true snipers a bad rep :(

  • @Daemeon93

    People really focus on snipers as the only non-team players. But I see plenty of assault/engineer/support players who are not helping either. Thats why I said it...the team that plays the best together, WINS!

  • ya baby its out !

  • I just came...

  • Awesome! Very nice Ryan.

    Everyone appreciates this, not just for the in depth view on your test, but also the hardware side of it to.

    I never thought to max my own G5's DPI and lower ingame sensitivity, I'll be sure to try this out and perform some tests of my own.

    As always, thanks for the great vids :)

  • @ProblmSolvd

    I found a flaw to this last night. The SOFLAM is almost unusable with the mouse setup this way. It requires a much higher sensetivity to move and track targets. Need to rethink this one.

  • @ryandpahl I noticed that to, but on australian/new zealand servers this isnt a problem.

    Unfortunately nobody uses Javs or guided missles on our servers so Soflam is rarely ever needed.

  • @ryandpahl ryan can i tell ya a good sniper tip?

  • i wish the console maps went farther than 1000m i want a challenge but i dont have to money to invest in a computer. i think its sorta stupid that they changed the maps for pc and consoles. any way great video, i really love the sniping in this game, just the correction for drop and bullet time is awesome.

  • Yay!

  • Been waiting for this. Thanks Ryan.

  • First comment...FINALLY!!!!!!
