Battlefield 3 News: Mortar Strikes, Objectives & More: Sniper Gameplay

[Nick58521]

my opinion about a weapon is as long as it has a decent fire rate, decent damage, and good accuracy thats my go to gun

[LuminatX]

mortars are OP.

[Mr77os1]

Great job!!! :)



[Gameshadow19]

Infinity mortar strikes. But there not good.

[steve081372]

LOOOOVE the mortar. You have to hit someone directly to get a kill. Mostly just does damage and get a lot of assists, but it can really put pressure on an attacking or defending team and keep their heads down. Its definitely not Over powered.

[Shaverea]

@TheRealBallsund Yes i just unlocked it, sorry for being incorrect. :)

[Shaverea]

@TheRealBallsund You do not have unlimited ammo and i think that the mortar will replace the ammo resupply. You will only get unlimited ammo if someone throws a ammo kit next to you but the ressuly will still be slow.

Get you stuff right

[RoFlMaOpMsLbBq]

Mortar is really annoying when they find where you are rushing a point in rush T_T they just rain down hell on you constantly..

[cut84li4e]

I like the mortar, and I do get some kills. But I must say, it can be quite pathetic of a weapon. It won't kill unless you get a PERFECT shot..Which is near impossible really...They need to rebalance it.

[F34RPr0duction]

@cut84li4e Lol mate there bad aim anyway in irl so they probs made it like that it was perfect aim it will be way 2 easy 2 get kills with it

[greenmachine440]

oh and mortars are unlimited!

[greenmachine440]

mortar strike is really....hard to use....ESPECIALLY CAUSE NO ONE SPOTS!

[QBisbest]

@greenmachine440 The explosion should be larger in my opinion, I did manage to kill 5 players with a lucky shot though. Last time I use it. lol

[greenmachine440]

@QBisbest You know what? i have come to the conclusion there is no splash damage hahha cause when i was using it and my friend was spotting for me with the MAV he said that i only killed with direct hits when they were not moving.

[ieuabru8]

they need to make a map when it's raining because i think it would addd alot more stealth to the game

[Jones0192]

This vid made me sub u ;)

[Matimi0]

@Jones0192 I'm glad to have you along for the ride :)

[Uraken74]

@knockoutfighter Neither, it's an SV98

[knockoutfigther]

damn i cant wait until thursday.... btw is this the l96 or awp sniper rifle he´s playing with?

[AwesomeTelevisionify]

@knockoutfigther the l96 and AWP are the same weapon.

[Streuselsturm]

i heard as the supporter you have to actaully swap the ammobox for the mortat

[rafaPCPRO]

so, your playing it for points? shame!!

[millertime6888]

IRL you gotta kill the mortar team to make them stop, why should it be any different in BF3? IMO they should be able to reload their mortar ammo. The game gives the other team more than enough tools to get over there and take them out and since spots go away when they get behind cover it's going to be hard to spot where the enemy is on the minimap anyways... Mortars won't be O.P. when your blind firing.

[Matimi0]

@millertime6888 Well Battlefield 3 is not real life and it is centered around balanced gameplay. I'm going to have to disagree with you on this.

[millertime6888]

@Matimi0 Fair enough. Either way this game is going to be awesome...

[millertime6888]

@Matimi0 It looks like I was right, it's continuous reload and fire for mortars however they are very underpowered aside from the obvious choke point like MCOMs and rush. It has to be a direct hit to get a kill and that's extremely hard to do considering it's delayed from when it's fired til when it lands. Also if you press start and look on the map the mortar is located. A red mortar shell tells you where they are.

[TheLeapstar]

@millertime6888 Fuck yeah!!! =)

[xboxwizard98765]

The mortar strike isnt on the mini map. I saw some footage of it and you actually take the tube out, place it on the ground, and drop the mortar rounds in yourself and fire them off. I don't know how you aim though.

[SuperHoliday72]

wt level do u have to be to get that sniper

[nayhem]

Friend of mine went to the Nvidia/Hornet event. Seems that the mortar has unlimited ammo (like vehicles), but is limited in range. Not sure if it occupies more than one slot (which would either balance or nerf it depending on range).

[dekan123456]

4 more days for me, I dont think I would survive my weekend without these videos to give me my fix...

[BooMers232]

Is there a ghillie suits simliar to bad company?

[heribertico1]

it is sad that bf3 for consoles will be 24 players how the hell are 12 players in each team are going to drive the vehicles and fight on foot they could have aleast made it 40 players or 36

[digiguilmon]

@heribertico1 1: the specs of the console don't allow so many players but if you played the beta you noticed the action was EVERYWHERE and that with vehichles will remain the same

[TheKingkilla312]

do u no if the shotgun has long range like on bfbc2

[kill4kill2kil]

i think mortar will replace ammo box

[FallinSinner]

@kill4kill2kil Don't think so. I'm sure it will be a gadget like C4 and Claymore, which didn't replace anything. I'm sure they'll have it the same as them two gadgets. I couldn't imagine them allowing you to have both Mortars and another gadget.

[bcimb1]

@Matimi0 Do You Have An Xbox Gamertag?

[mavis996]

mw3 is mw2 with better graphics, they have the wrong game when the say that for bc2 and battlefield 3

[deadly1010P]

polished game?

few weeks to go :)

[VeohXni]

I enjoyed this video.

[N0rwegianGreenDayFan]

Only Matim0 can have 0 dislikes,

Ps:Your videos and Commentary are Amazing, You deserve to be a Partner Matimi0

[oussigamer]

but one thing my biggst question how you can aim with the mortar?

[wildrip116]

Matimi0,Can u do a IRL?

[Dajkiman]

Matimi0, support can't resupply grenades by themselfs, same for mortar. :)

[MrJokerNick]

well all i know about the mortar is that its somehting you Deploy and i think other teammates can use it or only your squad can. but you place it on the ground and use it so there might be a reload feature to it but i am not 100% sure and i am sure Dice thought about how it will work.

[Swimmy412]

Nice recap of some of the new info. But my only complaint: It's not a mortar strike, so it will not be seven mortars pounding in one are, it will be one, so if your enemies move, then you won't hit them. It's a mortar. One mortar, at a time. In my opinion, you don't have to agree with me, it's perfectly fair, it's basically a launcher but less direct, and only outdoors. You also can't see your enemies.

Still; great video, info, and gameplay

[rapture005]

Hi Matimi0, I really enjoy your videos, they're very informative and really well presented. I definitely think you're pretty peerless in the Battlefield 3 youtube community.

I was wondering whether you could help me: at present I am at university and have to play on their network. The IT department require this information to modify their firewall rules for games: Official gaming website address. The range of recommended ports (UDP and/or TCP). Destination name (DNS) or IP address. Thanks.

[rapture005]

@rapture005

I would really appreciate your help, if possible with this issue, as otherwise I won't be able to play Battlefield 3 online, which will suck :( Hope you can help with this, as I'm struggling to find the right information. Thanks again.

[buzzcutrocks]

ahha, guy at 4:02 must've been SO pissed

[PhunnyConflicts]

Dude... not cool man. shooting someone's nut is not cool 3:06. but i still LOL pretty hard tho =P

[GamingGorilla808]

I'm pretty sure the motors replace the supply box

[waterdude468]

You deserve more subs Matimi0. One of the best Battlefield commentators and all my news in five minutes that would take me half an hour to find + a great gameplay.

Do you play with your subs and if so can you make a clan/platoon for your fans?

thanks in advance,

Waterdude468

[Matimi0]

@waterdude468 Hey, I'm thinking about gaming with subs when bf3 comes out. I'm not sure how I will go about it but I'll keep you guys informed on what I decide.

[waterdude468]

@Matimi0 Matimi0, first of all I would like to thank you on responding on my comment for your fans.

second of all you should make a platoon in battlelog or actually have a clan where we can play competive or just for the "lolz".

Hope we can get this off the ground :)

Waterdude468

[N0rwegianGreenDayFan]

@waterdude468 

[limitedslip92]

@waterdude468 he SNIPES to much....im one of his subs but im not big on watch sniping gameplay. i think people like to see more assault style gameplay

[waterdude468]

@limitedslip92 hey everyone has opinions and I respect that.

[kingofbrawl3000]

personally I would like it better if mortar strikes could only be used by the squad leader but I guess this is still a pretty nice touch. It seems they took all of the commander abilities from bf2 and spread them out amongst all the classes for each squadmate, hopefully the squad leader will have more of a roll than just having a star next to his name.

[MrFireburn66]

ur really good commentating keepit up..i subbed you.return

[shaneclone15]

I heared that gun fire shows up on the radar now . I think that ruin my day!

[MishaPilsudski]

@shaneclone15 how? that a good thing

[elliotrowe123]

hopefully the mortar will replace the ammo box

[metalbros666]

Anyone else having trouble connecting to ea on bc2?

[Storhonta]

"Im not a huge vehicle guy...."

All i could think of was transformers...lol

[Atrotic]

Something I was wondering about was I noticed the Soflam or Solflam (Probably mispelling it terribly) is what they had in BC1 where you could direct a Cruise missile (I beleive) in after lazing a target.

[xderxo]

It's not cool to shoot ppl at the d*ck dude! 3:06

[FLiPGeNSnipeZ]

i think they are overdoing the support class a bit much. They have an lmg which can bipod anywhere + is really strong, they can give their selves ammo, they can be anti vehicle a bit when it should only be engineers role, they have the mortars now... Like cmon thats a bit to much...

[solid205]

@FLiPGeNSnipeZ I agree with that, support should be about demolishing infantry while being near-hopeless against vehicles

[norwegianps3gamer]

another great and informative video Matimi0! :D cant wait until the 27th ( yes here in Norway it comes out the 27th!!! |)

[Waystedtsg]

Glad they upped the points for objectives.

[HeadquarterGaming]

we know your name is MATIMI0!

[JOHNizSiK]

From what I understand, all guns were NOT on the beta. Comparing to the weapons list released, 2 snipers, 2 assault , 1 lmg, 1 pistol , 2 sub machine guns , and some other things were absent.

[MrC12B1MAN]

Did anybody see the dude fly like superman in 2:02?

[ppp9922]

i think they would make it recharge like the bc2 mortar strike but should be slower if it is as large as you make it sound and that you can do it on anywhere on the map rather then having to aim at a spot.

[Matimi0]

@ppp9922 Yeah it could be a recharge system like the bad company series. I guess we will just have to wait and see on the 25th :)

[sean0578]

@Matimi0 28th for us Europeans D:

[ShikanNopp]

@sean0578 27th

[salmondude4]

@Matimi0 yes it has a set time limit when you use it theirs a long delay before you get to use it again

[SJGSpook]

I'm guessing there will be a down time for the mortars after every usage.

[ForeverTheNewbie]

Matimi0, do you know anything about balancing for consoles? Are they doing much to alter the map/environment?

Because of the lower number of players, what happens to the vehicles? Will there be so many vehicles that each person gets one and jumping out = insta death?

[Matimi0]

@ForeverTheNewbie The maps for consoles will be scaled back. They won't be as large as the PC versions because there will be fewer players. I'm assuming there will be less vehicles but that's just because of the proportions between PCs and consoles.

[jonaslum]

my biggest problem w/ bf3 is that the flags are so close... that is NOT battlefield

[Matimi0]

@jonaslum apparently on operation firestorm, the flags are a lot further apart. Btw, how does having caps further away make a game battlefield or not. That requirement just seems insignificant. I would rather have a map that is well balanced with little dead space. Having large distances between flags just to for the sake of it seems silly. Just my thoughts.

[jonaslum]

@Matimi0 I see ur point but think of it in bf2 the firefights were so epic and focused because many people more or less stayed in the same area to defend or take their objective... whearas in bf3 everyone finds themselves running all over the caspian border playing it as if it's COD's domination (just a MUCH bigger version)... this spreads everyone out actually making it more difficult to find people. Now don't get me wrong I had a blast on the PC beta but I just wish the flags were more likeBF2

[XkillerHopsX]

Great info once again 5*

[TheHarra]

Good vid Enjoyed that you dont sound like a douche and were very informative .+1 sub. I think there would be a timer on the morter strikes like the Binoculars in BC2 to stop spamming.I'm more worried about the Claymores.

[SupercellFTW]

lol i unlocked the mortar for support but i couldn't use it :(

[MrRipNasty808]

1 more week!!!! Can't wait to try out the jets... So is it true that the jets are only gonna be on conquest? Somebody at my job was telling me that... Mahalos Matimio for all the updates...

[Matimi0]

@MrRipNasty808 Some maps will have jets when playing the rush game mode.

[MrRipNasty808]

@Matimi0 Thank you sir...

[gorges11]

@Matimio you think you can get in contact with anyone that works with dice or use your commentator powers too see if dice can make a all air map pack or dlc

[Matimi0]

@gorges11 haha if only I had that much influence. I'm still a very unknown commentator.

[gorges11]

@Matimi0 well u should be well known better commentator than them money hungry cod ppl

[staticslipk5]

@Matimi0 you shouldn't be unknown, you're awesome

[Matimi0]

@staticslipk5 Thank you :)

[rupok93]

@Matimi0 why don't u ask colin to join DCRU? that should get you more attention. You seem to play with DCRU, you are a awesome player so why not?

[BaxterX7]

@gorges11 apparently there will be a flight training mode.

[JOHNizSiK]

@C1ry0n claymores could be replenished.... There are plenty of videos of people continuously killing and putting more down over and over.

[CruorCongelo]

3:03 ......ow.....

[thriller415]

Wow, this guy is my 2nd favorite person on youtube NOONE can beat AlChestBreach

[NathookGD]

104 likes and NO dislikes just goes to show the quality of your videos Matimi0 keep it up!!

[littleman749667]

will there be a demo before the release of Battlefield 3?

[69Zelmarked69]

I just got a fucking ad...I thought ad block plus took care of it...

[PoLaNd4life96]

I think they should do something about unlimited revives, for example is someone's head is blown off or he got stabbed in a heart, how an electric shockwave can bring him back to live ?

[EoLoLoIoOoT]

@PoLaNd4life96 The games designed to be fun not realistic. It would be more realistic if you couldnt revive or respawn at all but that would be boring to play, current system is just fine

[PoLaNd4life96]

@EoLoLoIoOoT but its still a bit frustrating that a guy you stabbed magically comes back to life :/ I love BF3

[TheHarra]

@PoLaNd4life96 Aim for the medic first! no more revives.

[ImTooSecretive]

Matmi0s voice is perfect for commentaries +fantastic videos! Definitely my favourite sub on YT.

[iplz]

@ImTooSecretive hes not annoying like 90% of them

[Matimi0]

@ImTooSecretive I appreciate it :)

[Doomshine72]

@Matimi0 Just curious how you play, I thought the beta was close? I would be nice longer video but not a big deal. Peace.

[TheJewishAssassin]

@Doomshine72 He has videos saved up

[Doomshine72]

@TheJewishAssassin thats what I thought XD

[urfacescaresme]

@Matimi0 All these other things are nice. But what I really want to know is that there are wayyyy more guns than the beta. During those 2 weeks I had almost every gun. It was kinda disappointing on how easy it was to level and I hope the final game wont get boring fast.

[Matimi0]

@urfacescaresme I think we saw every gun in the beta. There are more than in bfbc2.

[Matimi0]

@ImTooSecretive Thanks, that means a lot :)

[Chasecity100]

@Matimi0 i got tht same sniper but im better at it ;)

[sattilteoflove]

@ImTooSecretive nooooooooooooooooo i accidentally hit thumbs down when going for the thumbs up im so sorry!

[ahhhdfg2]

keep up great work Matimio ;)

[TheZooXer]

You really are a beast with that M9 ;)



[xXEndLessKaosXx]

IT RUBzz THE LOTION ON ITS SKIN AND FUK YEAH!

[Link10103]

All the haters...get the fuck on our level.

[C1ry0n]

Mortar strike is gonna be like claymore, cant replenish them (unless it has been changed from the beta)

[wuzzupll]

nice runnin and gunnin gogo aggressive recon

[iAmKhuram]

I loved the animation and sound of mortar strikes in BC2...cant wait to see it in BF3.

[WaerzMedia09]

When you said a small grenade going off I immediately thought of mortars in Call of Duty...

JUST A FEW MORE DAYS!

Nice vid bro... Love the pistol

[musaed55555]

I like your style while saying the news its classy, as always fun and great videos.

[trikid190]

500+200=............*puts numbers in calculator* 700 WIN

[KoNLaRz]

you should have also talked about that the whole game has been leaked online and availble to download via torrent

[fallenempireoverdrve]

why does the support class get everything cool

[Fingerpin91]

I kinda fear that they continue with Support being able to resupply C4s really fast. Me and a Friend abused the MAV and put on C4s on it and fly above on Metro and blow people up. Fun... but gamebreaking..

[3pankracy3]

hmm, i am think that you will be able to constant shooting from mortar BUT resupplying mortar gonna take long time to prevent spam IMO

[itisfunnyer]

Mortar replaces ammo box

[TheOriginalNathanOSU]

Awesome video man. I love tha they are pushing the objectives. Fantastic move.

Mortar strikes is a pretty cool idea two. It gives the support class more to work with, I was worried that that class was a little lacking in my humble opinion.

Me being a vehicle lover, guess what map I am gonna loooooooove =].

[beyerballler54]

I liked this before the video started. Always good videos matimio

WWAAAAAAHHHH!!

thanks Matimi0 you deserve much more than this!

[Matimi0]

@Memolistick Made my day.  Thanks!

[kamikasedude]

I'm worried with the statspadding now. Since arming and destroying m-coms are going to give 500+ points, I bet some people will set up servers just to boost their score.

[Matimi0]

@kamikasedude meh, if they want to cheat their way to higher ranks, go for it. I'm more concerned with normal games and getting rewarded for going for the objective.

[itisfunnyer]

@kamikasedude Its 700 points lol

[WastedBananas]

Poop.

Sounds good. Thanks for update Matimio <3
