Bad Company 2 AT4 Beginners Tutorial

[ki11erwaterme1on]

or you could just use a tracer dart

[GamerGod9590]

@ki11erwaterme1on When good pilots run VSmoke, this is often your only option.

[KozzuS]

watch?v=ewiMshk4H_4

after this tutorial, 2 days with at4

[ClavicuLaNoXTR]

Perfect!

[DarkspawnGoetia]

1:55 i dont see helicopter

[AfricanRooster]

thanks bro, helped me a ton! in the last game i played, i was raping the blackhawks. every shell i fired was a hit and vehicle kill, no joke, so, thank you

[vatscove]

anti-aliasing is needed

[Snake5440]

nice video ;)

[rudblack]

lol the russian guy speaking 1:22

i always laugh

[Jch7235]

at 4:19 is that a bush wookie doing an epic jump or a piece from the chopper???

[HknOtnicE]

Lol, I always thought you had to keep the red square on the target until it locks on like the tracer pistol.

[TheUltraluke]

Thanks for the tips I got 2 at4 chopper kills in a round today and one mounted RPG kill :D

[signis94]

Thanks for the video.

[nathan9384]

Best advice I could give, completely ignore that red square and watch the rocket itself.

[tamariz666]

congrats on this tutorial bro! thumps up and subbed

[surf20]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. :)

[blackmesatech]

@ahmed4hunt What does my channel description say it is?

[timonlammers]

Last clip i thougt:

No you dont!

[1PintLasher]

And the number 1 thing to do is to not even look at the flashing red distraction, just look at the rocket lol

[EastermanIV]

0:50 "... they are not bullet proof"

In BC2 NOTHING is proof against a chopper! :D

[Industriallity]

I love AT4, it's so easy to take down the HUEY choppers with...

[BigPhatSpoon1]

thanks man rly helped. btw i subbed

[Doctalen]

HyCy85 told me about you. He made a great AT4 montage on Pixel enemy

[prograham]

I don't suppose you have any console footage? I know... probably not, but this thing just seems so hard to use and would like to see a pro do it on console. Especially against circle strafers. In any case, love your vids. Especially the AT4 shots and the road kills.

[blackmesatech]

@prograham Would need something to record with and a copy of the game to do that. As for "circle strafers" they are going in a circle.....making them more predictable then other flying styles.

[TheNfstuner]

@blackmesatech but they are harder to hit in my opinium cuz they fly fast when i try to kill them while they are flying in circles can you make a vid with killing those circle choppers

[blackmesatech]

@TheNfstuner Same response as my previous reply about console stuff and if you know they always fly fast when you try to kill them you always know what they are going to do. Some games still function around the idea of predicting the other player's moves.

[graeme9851]

@prograham use gustav against circle strfers and at4 at distance.

[Machienzo]

Very informative. Going to practice this.

[MuckYu]

I can't hit any chopper :( always missing

[mtsmario97]

@MuckYu Add me: Chezzeball97

I'm rank 39 and I'll teach you how to do it

[suicideposter]

I thought it was impossible to use the AT4 against choppers but it turns out to be a lot easier than tracing them.

[Iceman20ful]

@suicideposter

Not impossible. You just need to get the timing right. With some practice, its really easy,

[FieldBoy111]

sticky orange box when does that happen

[CityPhox]

After geting annoyed at choppers and watching a few AT4 videos I knew this was how I wanted to take them down. Wated your vid, gave it a shot and was like "urgh this is balls". Watched it again the other day and then just played maps with choppers for practice and it's all come together - no enemy choppers in the air anymore >: D

[laurynasman]

lok by the explosion to the right at 4:17

[omegaxtrigun]

Good tips. I suck with the AT4 so this really helps.

[dtsuei]

I have recently tried my hands at AT4 and I have been getting some success. If you are having problem getting a vehicle kill, you might want to consider tuning down your mouse sensitivity. I realize I tend to over-correct the rocket trajectory without taking mouse sensitivity into consideration.

[haze9876]

very helpful vid. thanks

[xVerteXx]

I am quite good already with AT4 (thanks to you), but the fog and especially the trail of the rocket totally annoy me. I tried to figure out how to tweak my graphics so that it looks like yours, but it didn't work, I couldn't even turn of the bloom.

Could you tell me or even make a tutorial video on how to set up your graphics "correctly"?

[TheNfstuner]

hey thanks for the guide i killed like 4 or 5 choppers in heavy metal today after i saw this guide it really helped me

[DarkPieman]

Thanks for being helpful instead of being an elitist prick. I shall put this information to good use.

[yageleden]

very nice ,thanks for Helping

Rp.KryptoNite

[re2fanlicker2]

Hey i love your AT4 vids but was wondering if you could make a new tutorial based of the new patch with the fast rocket AT4

[lotteein420]

@re2fanlicker2 Dude they release patches?

[GurgleOneSixSix]

I like how you actually used a nice-looking and intuitive font, used in a helpful and unintrusive way, as opposed to

LOL WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER

[masonf18]

Hey man, your videos are the shit. I've been practicing with the AT4 a lot more now. You should come and play on our server. It's called "WookWook Mountain"

I know you'd love it duder.

[cronicout]

so should u be watching ur rocket the whole time? How can u tell the distance between the rocket and ur target?

awesome shots btw

[Dogfire45]

This vid actually kinda helped i understand the AT4 alittle better now and lol @ the flying recon at the end xD

[DrEdi2]

You're broken down on several occasions my heli on the Isla map. I wrote to you cheater....

....but you are good at using M136AT4

[dontlookatme011197]

this made me better with the at4. now i can shoot the blackhawk's down

[genialsisisi]

how i stick the red box??

[69KBee]

interesting that on Atacama you dont see any blinding dust or sun, are able to see from base to B and farther without problems...

[blackmesatech]

@69KBee Awww that's cute your still playing on default brightness.

[mardel1980]

@blackmesatech Nice tutorial. May tell me what's your settings: Brightness and contrast? Thx.

[Remotei]

@blackmesatech you're not using the localized voices :3c

[happycowmonkeylord]

@blackmesatech

do i make it less bright or more bright to get rid of the dust/glare?

[BoomImBackTony]

@blackmesatech Hi look can u do a new vid please i dont know how to calculat how much far the chopper plz help me if u dont whant to make a vid send me some tips THX BRO

[blackmesatech]

@69KBee Oh wow your that nutjob on the UK forums. I suggest you play on a console man the only things I've changed directly from the .ini file are bloom and DX version. The only reason bloom isn't an in game setting is simple, DICE is lazy. Same reason they put a global horn in BC2:Vietnam but not in BC2. Or you could always put on another tin foil hat.

[69KBee]

@blackmesatech well then insulting works fine when people notice you change game files to see further than other players i guess. by the way bloom off isnt "allowed" in esl for example. so no it is not because dice was too lazy to implement that checkbox but because it gets you a big advantage. in any case have fun trolling in your own comments

[blackmesatech]

@69KBee Why would I play in ESL, that's Euro and besides they are the ones that come up with more insane rules then any league/tourney out there. My point though still stands if the check box was in game ESL wouldn't give a damn. Bloom was fine in the demo on Valdez but they didn't balance it on a few of the other maps. Calling someone a cheater for turning bloom off is nuts. But still funny picturing some crazy person in with a tin foil hat mashing away at an eMachine. This is fun please go on.

[thedevo01]

@blackmesatech I'm sorry for being a noob, but what is ESL?

[DarkPieman]

@69KBee Everyone can turn bloom off if they want to. If it was seriously a way to gain an advantage and cheat against other players, then they wouldn't have let you change it by editing a notepad file in your My Documents folder. Who do you think they are, Crytek?

[xanieeee]

@69KBee I see people still play with default brightness AND default FoV.

Enjoy your tunnel vision.

[l1lchiller]

@blackmesatech You should do some videos with live commentaries. I think it would be great and it would help with your tutorials to.

[Xweart]

what's the orange box for actually?

[blackmesatech]

@Xweart You could think of it as a way to show the player where the rocket it headed. That is of course if your moving it around slowly. However it doesn't match the speed of the rocket itself so it tends to be more of a nuisance.

[FumanShu8]

Great video! Thanks for taking out the time to make it.

[Slyrrem]

Nice video but the first 2-3 min was kinda pointless. You don't need so much video to understand what cover is.

[blackmesatech]

@Slyrrem Maybe, but after reading so many comments and threads of people complaining that they would get killed before firing on those maps I figured why not. Also if you read what it says it's not just about cover :)

[moogle68]

any way you could make a new one for the updated M13? I was great at it before, but now with it's speed increased like mad it's super easy for straight shots but shots like yours are a lot harder now that you have less time to make the rocket do fun things like loops lol.

[blackmesatech]

@moogle68 Actually it's not harder it just requires more distance between you and the target :)

[moogle68]

@blackmesatech Ah, well then I must find new spots for teh AT4 camping lol.

[blackmesatech]

@moogle68 Camping? Nah it's more like telling someone to go long for a football pass.

[moogle68]

@moogle68 Yeah, I know, just thought I'd make a bad joke of it.

[KiteoHatto]

OMG, NOW it all makes sense, i was trying to shoot stuff down without even paying attention to the orange box........wow

[lulef]

great vid. Tried some shots on HeavyMetal and hell yeah... Had some lucky hits ;) great feeling when you hit HAHAHA

[bfhSgtT]

Ah love this rocket launcher took down every choper that was air borne I think my toltal was 12 or 13

[fkkfreeze]

oh, didn't know you made a tutorial ravic... that's why I get all these strange messages about my video the last month

kudos :)

[xStalkerxx]

Dont worry people. They increased the AT4 speed and now it's a piece of cake. I can take down choppers using AT4 with my eyes closed.

Dont be surprised if they are going to nerf it big time, since it wont pass much time until everyone gets the hang of this and nerf request floods the official forums xD

[moogle68]

@xStalkerxx nah, It is easier to use for straight shots but for moving targets its still a little hard. I know people that still can't seem to get the hang of it even with the patch. Sure they might get a few more kills with it than before but it will remain something that takes a bit of skill to use. But I'm talking SKILLED pilots are still hard to take out. I'm kinda mad that they sped it up though, makes less room for fancy circles and messing around like this guy does.

[malteg321]

Wonderfull

[Nickel700]

Yesterday a person make me mad with the AT4 at Atacama, so i call him cheater. He gave me this link... I can see why he is so good.

Really nice job. =P

[MrZerian]

4:16 flying body xd

[Mayakasi7]

Thx AT4 master,I'll keep at it.

[bbailey1982]

You love your videos man. Keep helping us nubs.

[OutrageousLilKillers]

lol at the flying wookie at the end

[Lucidic123]

@OutrageousLilKillers I lol'd so hard

[Sockchucker]

Thanks man. I have been practicing and am getting better....I think.

[Jon0sterman]

Well I got 2 Apaches on Atacama yesterday after a long drought so I think this tutorial helped quite a bit, I still don't think the penny has dropped properly yet though as I fired a lot of missiles to get those 2 hits.. Ah well practice makes perfect :).

Thanks again Ravic.

[deathsheep]

There IS a certain feeling of accomplishment though, when you can hit a helo with the unguided RPG. :D

[coyob8]

good vid good vid

few more tips:

1. In some cases, it helps to upper your sensitivity (50% -> 61% (and both lower sensitivities - to 100 % ))

2. Believe in your shots - fire even though you think you're gonna miss = learning steroids

3. Play more Atacama Desert + Port Valdez = faster choppers, harder to hit, and if you actually hit = score

4. Ravic get your ass on anotha vid

[masuat]

Good video man, but I didn't quite get the sticky box part... how come the box spazzed out? What's the implications of this? How do I avoid it?

[blackmesatech]

@masuat Keep your firing range clear of objects so you don't have to worry about moving the sight anywhere near an object that the orange box can get caught on. Trees, buildings, walls, things that you may hide behind can mess up your shot if you don't pay attention.

[midgetman010]

@blackmesatech weres ma nerd rage vidya?

[blackmesatech]

@midgetman010 Uploaded, but YT's content identifier had a fit on the mocking music so I gotta change some things. Working on other stuff for now.

[midgetman010]

@blackmesatech that yt content identifier blows justin bieber

[blaise69dude]

@blackmesatech But what causes the box to stick to those objects, and why doesn't it stick to your target instead?

[blackmesatech]

@blaise69dude It's function in this game is to show where the rocket will eventually go after enough time has past, but both the response of the box and the speed of the rocket are too slow to make the box useful against moving targets. It sticks to objects like that because of the proximity to the player and to the center of the sight, overall it's just poor design for the weapon in this game.

[batmanjokergorden]

Now to practice..........thank you blackmesatech sir. Got my quickshotgunning skills almost at 100%.

[wonderboy2402]

No hacks, just the tricks learned and shared. Nice.

[josecarlosamador]

3:20 sounds simples, but I think this is defenetly the best tip we need to make this work. Great tutorial. THANKS!

[abysmalmonkey]

Thank you!

[KingGear]

thanks a million Ravic.

[AlmightyRatchet]

nice! hope this helps me b/c I've always sucked at hiting choppers with rockets

[IskaRiot84]

Nice!

[HiddenSofa]

Many thanks for the info Ravic! I tried the AT4 a while back and had little luck with it but maybe I'll pick it up once more. Then again I'm pretty good with Carl G and judging the distance and what the pilot will do. Engineer: Beast Class.

[Jon0sterman]

Aww, I thought we might get to hear 'The voice of Ravic' [sounds a bit epic when you say it like that :D]. Anyhoo endless thanks for the tutorial, it's very informative and easy to digest. I shall go and put these hints and tips into practice, and maybe bag me a few Blackhawks :).

[raksasa]

WOW finally!! been waiting for this since i saw your first at4 vid XD, thanks

[Gerojsk]

Pretty nice, but I need a tutorial for intermediate users (e.g. long range kills, maneuvering helicopters, corkscrew etc.

[nickandsophia]

You're awesome for providing this to the community.
