  • how do you zoom in and out with a motar?

  • no reload animations on 360?

    

  • i hope that i can make my own private lobby on my xbox at somepoint so i can search for hiding spots and do jumps in the sand buggy in the back to karkland maps

  • Enemies also show up when they fire, unless your camp sniping with a silencer mortards shall see ya :P

  • im level 45 and had no idea and can pop smoke

  • If only people would ACTUALLY GET THERE ASS IN GEAR after sending some mortar fire down range, I know I would

  • on the CPU you can zoom in and out on the map while using the motar.  can you do this on xbox?

  • I don't like how when you get off the mortar you end up looking in the opposite direction (I guess it's because it counts as a vehicle) and you have to pick it back up and deploy it again to get back on it.

  • War is not fair

  • 60mm brilliant.

  • People who say mortars are unfair make me laugh. What about 3 snipers on a roof top? Is that unfair? Not after I smoke & HE the shit out of em it's not! Mortars are a really useful tool to use. It will depend on the situation but I have helped out loads of times using them. Sitting back using em the whole game is a different matter tho...

  • How does the Suppression help.

    I mean I like using the Explosive Specialization so I can have more Anti-Tank mines. So Instead of 4 I have 6.

    But how does the Supression Spec. Help?

  • @HurriShane00

    Blurs their view up a tad more, specializations only add a small boost but it helps depending on what you are doing, rpg rounds go from 5 to 10 with explosive, as an example...

    Supression is the best for support, got an lmg firing like mad or a usas12 with frags firing-NEAR FLASHLIGHT LEVEL OF BLIND!

    With mortars its very effective ;)

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • the latest patch shows hit markers, a further tip switching between smoke n HE rounds while firing will rapidly increase fire rate of the mortar..thumb up so folks can see.

  • @TulwarKahn I was wondering, do you still show up on the map if you fire smoke rounds? You aren't killing anyone, so I could understand if you don't show up.

  • Great video. I have 300 something kills with the mortar

  • No reload animation for the mortar? :/

  • @o0soda0o What reload?

  • so does the bomb symbol on the map show you where the mortar rounds are being fired from or where there hitting down???

  • how do u get the smoke mortar?????

  • Hey RED DRAGON how do u set up a private match? Me and my friends really want fly jets without getting blown up. My gamertag is ''acekamz''

  • Great video, Dragon!

    I used to play some EndWar with you back when we were in TW together. I done a quick search to see what the mortar smoke looked like, then up you popped.

    I'll have to get active on battlestrats again, maybe we can get some games in.

  • @adzer45 Hope to see you back on BattleStrats soon

  • If you want to get even closer to the firing range you can move to the side so from where your pointing move down and to the right/left

  • hey red dragon i sent u a friend request on xbox live my name on there is DIRTYCLOWN24 i would really apprciate it if u accepted it. im only 11

  • You should try the mortars in hardcore mode, its just ridiculously effective. Just watch out for your friendly's ;).

  • Fire 2 mortar shots, move to a new location and fire another 2 to avoid gettin blown up by another mortar...

  • The 60mm smoke really really works. When using it I can literally see my team become emboldened by the cover as the blue dots that were hiding behind rocks start to charge the MCOMs. Also effective on defense. Smoke blocks snipers from shooting your guys who are disarming as well as giving your team a chance to kill the guy stuffed in the corner on the MCOM.

  • I mostly just use the smoke... I know it's a real pain in the ass to have someone raining explosive shells everywhere.

    At least with the smoke I'm helping the team, and not getting arguably unfair kills just for myself.

  • i always like to fire the high explosive and then the smoke altenating so i can fire twice as fast

  • Mortars need silencers. XD

  • @4:42 the mortar looks.. glitched.. blocky ?

  • any 1 wants to do this on xbox add me iiNS4N3xSKiiLZz

  • you are a very good help ty very much

  • I must say your videos are amazing and the tips help tons!

  • More usual gameplays please.

  • Hooray for StarCraft font!

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON hey man do you think you can make a tutorial on the eod bot. ive tried to figure out what its for and cant really get it.

  • @stealthyways The EOD bot is pretty much a repair tool on wheels, but with a twist. Not only can it do everything the repair tool can do, but it can also arm and disarm M-COM stations. Don't get worried if you can't figure out how to arm/disarm an M-COM station, you just roll up to it and "repair" it. Fun Fact: The EOD bot is fucking hard to drive. Hope this helps =].

  • Dice should limit the mortar rounds to 25 or so.

  • Nice gameplay and tips, help all us noobs out there.

  • ahhhhh so people SEE you after you shot on the minimap thanks that i FINALY know why i get almost instantly killed whenever i shot soemwhere...

  • Do you get points for using smoke?

  • Dude awesome video. I just unlocked it and didn't really know how to use it, thx for the help.

  • 4:33 the mortar is boxy. ps3 all da way

  • I have been watching your vids for a while now and find them very usefull. I only subscribed to you today, better late than never I suppose.

    Great vids.

  • Can you zoom in and out of the minimap while doing this? I dont seem to be able to zoom out.

  • Red Dragon I like your videos. I started seeing it especially with the game Breach. But let me ask you something. Why would you post a video that shows campers to camp even more? Mortars are the new campers in this game and is an issue that I hope DICE can fix. I don't know who was the retard at DICE that said this was a good idea. Now we got both snipers and mortars who camp at rush game modes. Anyway nice video.

  • @AgentCell The mortars aren't THAT effective I don't believe - The blip that shows up when they are firing makes them a huge target. When I see someone using a mortar - i consider that a free kill..that's just my opinion though

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON You must have faced people who don't know how to use them then.

  • @AgentCell I hear what your saying however the fact that your position if given away once you fire it is a huge minus. It is a huge plus if the other team is full of COD sniper campers and they refuse to budge from their position. That will get them out of their camper holes

  • @ShinoShaw To be honest it doesn't matter if your position is known. Say you're playing rush mode and you're the attacker, you can basically mortar from the spawn point (which is your safe zone) and no enemy whatsoever can reach you. On top of that, the minimap tells you exactly where the enemy is based on there weapon firing. It's the perfect offense+defense which makes the game very unbalanced. DICE can do two things: 1. Limit the mortar range. 2. Have no sensors that shows enemy locations.

  • @AgentCell or limit the ammunition to 3. This game is supposed to be based on realism and they have an unlimited ammo mortar weapon? How did they fuck that up.

  • @AgentCell heres an idea- GO KILL THEM!

  • @NSBSaix Here's a better one. Go suck a dick faggot.

  • @AgentCell Mortars show up immediately on the map when they shoot, and can be taken out rather easily if you spawn in as support and just shoot back once. They're not that hard to dispose of.

  • @kdfsjljklgjfg Why would I have to be forced to use the mortar class to take out a camper? How fun is that? And what makes you think that's going to stop the other mortar camper from mortaring again and again just because I killed them once. And what if there are multiple mortar campers? The point is I shouldn't be forced to switch to a mortar class to take out a camper especially since I can't reach them with the other classes. That is both boring as shit and a game design issue.

  • @AgentCell So since you have to play Engineer to take out choppers and jets, they're a game design issue too, right? Since you're often forced to counter-snipe to take out snipers, sniping should be wholly removed from the game? Everything in the game has a counterbalance. Just because you're too lazy to switch classes or refuse to change your playstyle doesn't mean it's a game design issue, it means that you're a poor team player.

  • @kdfsjljklgjfg This is my last reply because I don't want to waste my time with a gaming nerd. If you're playing rush mode and you're the attacker, you can basically mortar from your spawn point (which is your safe zone) and no enemy whatsoever can reach you. On top of that, the minimap tells you exactly where the enemy is. It's the perfect offense+defense which makes the game very unbalanced. DICE can do two things: 1. Limit the mortar range. 2. Have no sensors that shows enemy locations.

  • @AgentCell 1. It already is limited. 2. Good job, the mortar is now 100% useless. Again, you're complaining because you have to switch classes because mortars often can only be killed by other mortars. When you're playing rush, you can basically snipe from your spawn point and no enemy can reach you. Again, your logic says that sniping is a game issue. If you're in a jet and get out of Stinger range before they can lock, they need to use a jet to get you. Your logic, jets are a game issue.

  • @AgentCell the minimap just dosent "tell" you where the person is... they only show up if someone on ur team spots them.

  • @AgentCell well ull know where they are..so if theyre camping...get really close to them and sneak up on em..easy af

  • @AgentCell let them camp, mortors arnt that good and while they are camping it just means less enemies inside objectives :P

  • @AgentCell Bad company 2 had the sniper and mortar camper combined as one, they could rain mortars without any skill required. Now it is harder to get a good effect on target. Before BF:BC2 you had BF2 with all the sniper campers and a commander, whose job was to camp, who could obliterate a spawn point with artillery. I say let em be ineffective campers.

  • @AgentCell

    You're right to some extent, but if you look at it another way, mortars are the perfect response to snipers (provided that the snipers are not inside a house, or under a highway in Tehran. Also, a mortar can easily be targeted by another mortar, and can easily be approaced by any vehicle.

    However, a lot of noobs tend to keep falling for the same trick over and over again, repeatedly rushing into a death zone. That's often the real problem.

  • @AgentCell that is a really good point u got there!!!

  • @AgentCell actully so is mortar not an "new" idea, it were also included in Battlefield vietnam and mortar is an good tool to support you team / sqaud in rush and it is ALOT harder playing Mortar than being an recon who are camping in a tower some where so,

    stop whining and grow up.

  • does the extra suppression perk affect the mortar?

  • when do you get the m240b and can you put a suppreser on it?

  • Looks good, but its not very good unless a lot of people on your team are spotting. It seems like the only people that ever spot are people that had BadCompany experience.

  • Red Dragon you've got the best battlefield tutorials I've been a fan since BBC2 launched you've helped me so much to develop into a smart player. It's the little things in battlefield that make the difference and you excel at explaining those. Thanks man keep up the great work.

  • Great video! Thanks

  • Have you downloaded the high res texture pack?

  • @thefitoi Howd you do that

  • Dud just play as the fucking mortar man

  • THANK YOU!! All your tutorials are very clear

    

  • in your expert opinion. is this overpowered?

  • omg. my xbox and tv are next to me. bf is in the xbox. this is making me want to play bf3 very much. but im too lazy, sick, and in pain....do you know how this feels?

  • Hot damn! That "Safe House" movie trailer commercial is the first commercial that i chose to watch all the way through without skipping it :O

  • imagine how cool it would be to hit a jet or chopper with a mortar round

  • You can shoot twice as fast by switching between smoke and HE rounds between each shot. Use smoke to cover m-comm (if attacking) and HE on enemy.

  • hey red dragon can you make a video on how to use the mav micro uav for the recon kit

  • Thanks man love it

  • Awesome video as usual ...great job dragon

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON

    do tips for the soflam

  • Has anyone else experienced a glitch (possibly) where the enemy mortar doesn't show up on the map, even when they're out of their spawn? The other night, I was hunting them down by follwoing the sound, but they never showed on the map.

  • Hey red dragon you are fast becoming my favorite youtube channel. Thanks for posting all these really helpful tutorials for the not so informed gamers, too many team mates I have are just horrible players that won't lift a finger to help you out for anything.

  • @shugnst That's great to hear - Thank you!

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON Hey red dragon, i like your videos and especially your tutorials.

    I have a suggestion. If you could put notes in the description of what you are covering that would be great. This would allow us of course to get to what we need quicker!

    I would love to see more advanced tutorials as well! Filled with all the tips, tricks, secrets and so on that you can find! Thanks <3

  • the mav/mortarman combo is real good

  • I think the fact they show up visible on the map and screen is a HUGE weakness.

    I think mortars are a great addition.

  • The mortar is unfair I mean UNLIMITED ROUNDS? How can dice make weapons like this that has no weakness?

  • Wasnt this on MW2 before? YES IT WAS! IT RUINED THAT GAME

  • @extreme5050 Wtf are you talking about?

  • @Susuman1 Noobtubes + One man army = unlimited mortars xD

  • very nice to know. thanks

  • Does anyone know how to zoom out the mini map for the mortar on the Xbox?

  • /watch?v=sd8wChkYKtk&feature=c­hannel_video_title

    check this out. Leaderboards are full of those bhl guys

  • I like this vid, this really shows how teamwork works in BF3 ;)

  • Every time I use this I go around 20-0 but it's not as good for points as running around with a gun. It reminds me of OMA spawn-tubing from MW2.

  • Nice videos buddy , really helpful

  • I rekon they should have illumination rounds for like tehran highway

  • thanks

  • Is gamestop going to send me physical warfare pack by email or packed in the game????

  • How do I get mortal?

  • Are you a vampire?

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON Best reply ever.

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON rofl. he dun goof'd

  • @Santzify1 support kit 40 tho points

  • Is there another screamer in this Video too?

  • @TheKingWerwer No - I don't like to troll my viewers - just having some fun with the last one...although i think I did scream when the LAV shot and killed me because I was just peaking out trying to get good footage of the mortar raining down lol...shame theres no Theater Mode.

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON Well atleast the screaming face in the last video wasnt too horrible!

  • Great job

  • Mortars are awesome, I like to use my mortar to take out an enemy mortar, always works xD

  • This is the first video that actually shows how the mortar is used, i'm still waiting my bf3 copy and i was very curious... thank you.

  • Destruction 3.0: the bus isn't destructible...

  • Love these BF3 tutorials definitely like to see more :D

  • on s3 when u fire the mortar your arm actually goes up to the tube and loads the bomb

  • AWESOME vid. Very helpful. Thx @TWTHEREDDRAGON

    Looking fwd to more tutorials !!

  • @TWTHEREDDRAGON a little off topic here, but does the SOFLAM shoot at enemy tanks or just target them?

  • Freakin fantastic review! I'm new to FPS. I enjoyed it thoroughly and used your advice to make me a better player. THANK YOU!

  • Geez I'm going to be so far behind. Bought BF3, haven't touched it at all for the past week. Going to be painful trying to unlock all those useful gadgets and perks. Defibs, mortars, MAVs, etc. Not to mention that MW, SR, AC, and Halo coming out in the next couple of weeks. I'm still bingeing on Arkham City and Demon Souls!

  • How do you zoom in on your minimap

  • Great tips video, most detailed one I have seen so far and really great that you showed the range. It would be great if your team mates can paint an area/or call in coordinates for a mortar strike from your the rest of your team.

  • Here's a trick with the mortar, once you fired switch to the other ammo type, and repeat and repeat. for me it seems like a faster reload if you do this.

  • Mortars suck. They are only an annoyance they are not deadly at all. You know how impossible it is to get even one kill with it. If you want your score per minute to drop drastically please by all means use a mortar. They don't really help out at all either, your team would be better served with you on the front lines capturing. I rushed to 40k support score on the first night and unlocked them and haven't been back since. Now I roll assault and heal.

  • @millertime6888 if your playing with a friend or talking with someone you can have them spotting and snipping while you help kill the guys, or he can call out were you need smoke or where a cluster of enemies are. weve captured tons of flags from me covering my team with smoke and killing guys coming in

  • Comment removed

  • @maxjcollie Yeah I use smoke mortars sometimes but I find the other ones are almost useless. Like I said they are more of a distraction than anything. Since when you hit near an enemy it doesn't kill them it just makes their aiming rumble and hard to control. I know this because I've been under mortar attack before and I've only been killed once by a mortar and I was already low health. MAV and Mortar team can be fun but it's not as effective as both of you up on the front lines or in a tank.

  • @millertime6888 who gives a CRAP about their kill per minute except for no-lifer losers like you. play the frickin objectives and dont spawn camp or only get kills noob

  • @HeadbangingForGeeZus Nowhere did i say "kills per minute" you idiots seem to be mistaking score per minute and kills per minute. Also everything I posted was about playing the objective idiot not sitting in the back with a useless mortar. Notice I said "your team would be better served with you on the front lines capturing." and "Now I roll assault and heal." That's not helping my team? Mmmkay...

  • @millertime6888 Please do us all a favor a go play Black Ops or Modern Warfare 2 so we don't have to deal with K/D whores like you costing us Objectives/Wins.

  • @subzeroblaze Nice try... please do me a favor and point out where I said anything about K/D. Oh and don't try to assume I play Call of Duty because I don't. I haven't and I'm sure you have. I've hated that stupid small map kill kill kill game since CoD4 when I last tried it. So like I said don't try to paint me as some CoD fanboy when you probably jumped ship from Black Ops yourself little boy.

  • @millertime6888 I'm not the one crying like a little bitch cause I can't use a mortar. Your insipid whining makes you come off like a little CoD bitch.

  • @subzeroblaze

    I didn't know stating the obvious, or you know giving my opinion in my comment is whining but oh well you'll get over it.

  • @millertime6888 All right, your whining because YOU can't use the mortar and do anything with it so therefore it sucks. As you can see in this video you can get kills with it, my friend can get kills with it, and I've been killed by it plenty of times. Your whining about your score per minute dropping like some CoD whining about his K/D. Last I checked this was a team based I don't mind my score per min dropping if it means my team wins.

  • @subzeroblaze First of all I was just stating my opinion that the mortar sucks. I obviously can get kills with it and I have but I can get way more kills and more importantly help my team win by not using it. I still have only been killed by a mortar 1 time when I wasn't on a mortar myself. And Score Per Minute is the K/D of BF. It's the only thing that matters. It's capping points that earns you score... playing the objective that helps you win. Ya understand now or you still gonna jump on me?

  • @millertime6888 Sorry to disappoint you but kills earn more score than capping objectives, 90% of my score I get from killing the enemy team and yes I do actually go for objectives until we cap 2/3 or 3/4 of the points in conquest. Then I defend those points without spawn camping. I get more points from killing people trying get objectives, blowing up vehicles, and K/D whoring CoD fags than capping any objective.

  • @subzeroblaze Cool story bro. I do the same thing. Go from point to point and cap it or defend it. If I see one is being captured I'll go there to defend it. I tend not to sit and camp one point but on some maps, smaller maps, it can be the smarter thing to do. I'm no K/D whoring CoD fag. I hate CoD, I didn't like CoD4 even... If you knew me you would know I hate CoD more than anyone I know...

  • DICE didn't make an animation where the character loads the round into the launcher?...... LAAAZZZYYYYYYYY.

  • To everyone that thinks this is overpowered all you need to do to counter it is pull out your own mortar and set up in a position to take them out. I have done this numerous times to get people set up in their spawn that you couldn't get any other way. Usually after 3 or 4 deaths they get the hint and move on out of their spawn and usually stop mortaring.

  • I love the mortars. Perfect for taking out those bush wookies.

  • Great tutorial dude. I'm actually digging the support class and using it for a while now. About the mortar not detectable when you put it out on spawn point, does it happen all the time? Will it remain undetectable?

  • bro me and friends just had a fun game doing what you were doing at the end we got so many kills

  • That is awesome

  • Nice tutorials, I was wondering if you can do a tutorial on how to set up battlelog, I been having issues and there are not very helpfull videos out there. Thanks TheRedDragon

  • On the Xbox360 there's no animation for loading the mortar? On the PC there is one, it's a little buggy but atleast there is one xD

  • @dderkas There is a load animation on the 360. Just from my own experience, sometimes it doesn't show the round being loaded when you switch ammo types. Otherwise, it seems to show it every time. Again, that's just from what I've seen personally and I've only played on 360.

  • I got a 8 man kill with one mortar on Grand Bazaar, I dropped a mortar on the alleyway. The enemy team only held that flag and they had been laying C4 to defend against people trying to push. I finally put a mortar into the narrow gap and I saw I got a kill, but the list kept going - enemy explosive destroyed - enemy killed - killing spree stopped- all came about 7 or 8 times.

  • haha when i used the mortar i was way too close to a building and when i shot the mortar it hit the building above me then the wall fell off it and fell on me and killed me lol

  • Why make a tutorial for something so simple?

    Aim where you wanna shoot. Shoot.

  • @TasteMyPinga If you watched this then you would know there is a little more to the Mortar than just point and shoot

  • this is op. i was aggainst a dude on operation metro an he killed me like 5 times ina minute wih´th that shit

  • You're jet tutorial was ver helpful :) but I'm still having trouble getting kills to unlock flares and missiles any help please?

  • Good tings

  • the morter + the mav =awesome

  • does explosives perk make the damger/blast radius higher ?

  • @liderny idk but it did in bc2 so but it might have changed

  • Can you PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEESE do the recon's SOFLAM next.

  • THIS vid is why i subscribe to your channel.

  • I kinda hate the mortars cus there are guys camping at their spawn in rush sitting there just bombing the hell out of what their defending so I cant plant shit.... but then I ran all the way across and killed him...

  • Great tips. i didnt know you could switch to smoke.

  • Can you do a private match in this I can't find how?

  • whats the time for the closest mortar placement and whats the time for the furthest?

    pls reply, reddragon :)

  • @petersupermann No clue..id guess 3-4 seconds for long range

  • Love it. Thanks Red.

  • Please do a soflam guide for recon??
