Battlefield 3 : The Art of Flanking

[roms3]

Is that on PC?

[CKGRiMmCK]

PC players have more fun :( lots of people to kill. is it like 64 or sumthin? we only have a pitiful 24 :'(

[DreamFist11]

That act of sheer Manliness of mowing the entire enemy team has earned you a like and subscription!

[xxMerc1988xx]

17 or 18 killz in a row DAMN

[CrysisJim98]

17 KILLS CUZ HE GOT 4 COMBAT EFFIENCE RIBBONS :)

[hypnotik999]

I think about 19 or 21 kills

[jsDX11]

15 kills

[ravens4life1128]

Just popped a boner

[6yka66RUS]

@ravens4life1128

suck it

[RMZ250Legend]

damn. what's your SPM? mine is 430. not the greatest but oh well.

[airth13]

@RMZ250Legend Haven't played in awhile, but last time i checked its about 600

[RMZ250Legend]

@airth13 we'd be great in a squad together, trust me, but i don't have it for the PC. i'm sure the 32 vs. 32 matches are great. but i'm sure it seems too crowded.

[JJD1985]

Rape is legal now?! Cos thats what i'm seeing!

[jj9345]

@beastatnothing he had a silencer on

[BestAtNothing]

Wow these guys are completely oblivious to their radar. You wouldn't get away with this shit against anyone good for more than a few kills.

[wlghks901]

GOOD

[yongminkim1980]

Dude that's impressive...

[Talentz92]

This is fucking beautiful

[ubernub43]

Camping is much more effective if you do it right. Of course, it is looked down upon.

[aaz1992]

playing bf3 like u dont care = KD of 1.3, playing bf3 with your BRAIN = KD 2.0+

[Sojerothetenkin101]

''mowed" hahahaha btw whats better abt the m16a3 compared to hk416 or aek?

[airth13]

@Sojerothetenkin101 there's no hk416 in bf3, its m416. its a lot faster than m416. m16 vs aek = aek has faster rof but tends to have more recoil after longer bursts. hence, m16a3 is more sprayable. and they both use the same type of bullet btw.

[c1h2a3d4b5e6e7m8a9n]

@airth13 the m416 is the hk416, its just the us military name for it

[xProPlay]

@airth13 m416 is the same as hk416

[ssjaken]

@ooalexoo2 Accidentally leaving out the letter 'R' because I was posting from my mobile =/= bad grammar, mate.

[ssjaken]

@airth13 I posted from my phone, autocorrect sometimes contracts the words. What I wrote wasn't supposed to be perceived as a pejorative. I'm sorry, I was just kidding around. It's a joke son.

[jdslipknot]

BOSS!

[Kennethcrunzaty]

It's like watching myself :D

[Tervaification]

BF2 is better...

[Lamppurd]

i think there was 22 enemies. nice...

[Tanis350]

This was uploaded on my birthday!

[manGRts]

ENEMY SUPPRESSOR INCOMING!We are going to be flanked............its all over XD

[FREDhater19]

meh

[E3GHOSTROMAN]

fuck all the haters to this vid, this guy just showed u that if u use some inititive in your play what u can be capable of he owned every player on there pure and simple great job man! subbed

[yogaldimidamidu]

Press 2 and 9 and look at the tickets count for the Russian team :P

[m47h3u55m]

Did you get the Nuke?

[getyodomerocked]

I did this once but i only got 9 kills

[lolmanden3]

Not only you lead your team to victory, you also got a load of killstreaks

[bunchabugz17]

The art of flanking. The disadvantage of camping. Good job, you owned them pretty good.

[Kovey]

@bunchabugz17 very well said bro, btw that's my friend :))

[canertwo]

@bunchabugz17

thats how i would play on pc, and how i played bc2 on pc back then.

too bad i bought bf3 for ps3.

[TheAGZNZ]

I think he played against noob players...I couldnt see any special skill and moves...Not best

[Queenrocks20]

Good job. I really liked the flanking opportunity the maps in bad company 2 gave. Too little of those in bf3.

[MrMarduch]

gj man, moments like this is exactly why I play this game!

[DivaneRev]

i used to be a flanker like you than i took a full magazine to the knee

[Da453Man]

@DivaneRev lol skyrim talk FUS RO DAH

[marcusmalone]

Think it might be time to put down CoD and return to BF3. Especially with Karkand.

[Dangles550]

LOL at anyone calling this noob. This is flanking at it's best. 15+ kills in a single life and no one seemed to realize to keep a look out for the flank. Anyone who thinks this is luck doesn't understand that this is the smart and safe way to win games; beating idiots who are too proud to realize that the enemy may be smarter than to run into their bullets.

[tacohero]

What was your loadout?

[terrabaka]

if you can't figure out how to flank them, then you need to study the maps, figure out where the chokehold is, and how to bypass it. i'm certain on all maps, there are ways to get around a chokepoint.

[faiz434]

hahaha at all the noobs who claim it's just luck. This is how you play Battlefield 3. This is not mw3

[jasonbsa]

flanking on metro is the EASIEST lol... all the time i play metro i end up the first 3... but scrimmage wise... its a fuck over LOL

[JoymaarDylan]

It's good to see all these comments of people saying how they flanked the opposing team before while mostly when i'm in a game it feels like i'm the only one doing the flanking while my team just runs towards bullets hoping to get at least one kill.

[ThePeaceMaker109]

To all the people who are commenting that this is luck: HORSE. SHIT.

That was well done mate

[XequlixX]

I flanked an enemy team in battlefield 3 once, then i took an arrow in the knee

[115ivan]

i flanked a tank once, then saw a bunch of guys behind it, shot a nade launcher and got a lots of kills. So satisfying

[Chowkin9]

This was on Metro so I don't care

[RiverofDoubts]

...Are pooh4u and XXSCARFACE77XX serious? I think gave myself a concussion from face-palming after I read their comments.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts Dude. He was lucky....90% of the time when you try something like that someone spawns behind you or something like that and he wasnt even flanking that much. Just his first move was flanking but from 0:38 it wasnt flanking anymore...

This video should be called lucky multikill or something like that

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 Then by your standards everything could be considered lucky. Lucky he had a strong gun, lucky he didn't run out of ammo, lucky he chose the route he did. Opportunity presented itself and he made the best of it. He flanked and continued to clear out their team. He shouldn't have to go back to his spawn and flank behind someone for every single kill. Luck did not play as big of a part as him actually possessing skill enough to do this regardless of the situation.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts You dont understand my comment....a player can controll which weapon he uses but he cant controll the enemy spawn.

Do you understand my comment now?

And skill eh...i dont think you can decide if he is a good player just by watching 3 minutes in a 12v12 (everyone can flank 12 player...) battle.

I dont think he is a bad player or something like that. But this video didnt prove any skill

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 No, you don't understand my comment. Flanking is getting behind or beside the enemy without being noticed by the lot of them. Now, he did flank and after he did so he continued to clear out their team, which even someone who's blind can see that takes an amount of skill. He can't control the spawn and despite that he still went on a nice tear without being stopped by an enemy.

Do you understand my comment now? And no, not everyone can flank in 12v12.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts So first move was "flanking" and the rest?

0:20 and rest is flanking too?

So everything is flanking?

There were some camper in the building and he shot some guys while they were running...that wasnt the difficult part eh?

And the first part was taking the normal way and nobody shot him....so he was either lucky that nobody spotted him (the camper in the building) or it is pretty easy to flank the flank of metro on 12v12

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000

1) Ok, I don't like repeating myself, but for the third time now this is what he did. He flanked and after he flanked he cleared them out. Pay attention to this part because here's the kicker: You do not have to go back to your spawn and flank all over again for every single kill. Got it? He got behind them without being noticed and had enough skill not to get himself killed in the process.

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000

2) Can anyone get lucky and not be noticed? Yes, but that doesn't diminish the fact that he wasn't noticed and no matter what obstacle presented itself he continued to wipe them out without being stopped. If you want to give all credit to luck then you can't stop with just, "can't control the spawns". He can't control a lot of things: The skill of his enemies, the position of them at the time, the gun he had (he had no way of knowing what gun would be best)...

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000

3) the whereabouts of his teammates. Luck has a role in this, but nowhere near the role that his personal skill-set played. If that's the case then everytime you play and get a kill then your lucky they weren't in a tank, or that they didn't get a headshot on you with a sniper rifle, or that you didn't turn a corner and have 4 enemies waiting on you. Possibilities are endless and speculation is at your own discretion, so give credit where credit is due. The guy flanked well.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts He was lucky that none of his opponents was lucky ;-)

I have never said luck is bad in games so why are you so mad about that...

And why cant you accept that he was lucky nobody spawned behind him...that is all what i am saying. I have never said he is a noob. I just think he was lucky not beeing shot from behind. Because that happens pretty often in BF 3 (the spawning system sucks. Either you spawn in front of a tank or you spawn behind an enemy).

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 You only need to flank once. I'm not mad and I never said that you called him a noob. I also said luck didn't have a part in it, but you can't just say he was lucky that no one spawned behind him. If that's the case then he's lucky a lot of things didn't happen that would get him killed: A random grenade, Claymore, etc. Luck had a part in this, yes, but if he wasn't skilled then luck would mean nothing.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts Luck doesnt mean anything. But it makes everything look better.

It doesnt look awesome to kill 5 enemys and after being revived you kill the rest so you need luck to make a good video.

He was lucky nobody shot him in his back because that ruins everything...oh and I don t really think you need a lot of skill in BF3.

The guy who shoots first wins (me. I think you need more tactic than good skill but that s just my opinion ;-)

Hope DICE can patch that...

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 You just said that luck doesn't mean anything, but earlier and even now you're saying he was lucky? Pick a side. Was it luck or was it skill? Because for the entirety of this conversation I've said that his skill kept him alive and luck for good or for bad played a minor role. Like I said, if you want to go the luck route then you can't stop with "He was lucky nobody shot him in his back". He's lucky a lot of things didn't happen that would've gotten him killed.

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 Also, to say you don't need skill in BF3 is flat out stupid. If you can't manage the recoil of your gun, know how effective it is at what range, have some level of skill with your equipment, and coordinate efficiently; it doesn't matter if you shoot first; you'll loose every time. I get shot at first all the time and still win gun battles because I know my surroundings and can (on average) recoup and drop them before they even know what happened. Skill is needed in BF3.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts Dude I dont have any problems with recoil or stuff like that. I dont think you need Skill in BF 3 because every weapon is so easy to handle. You dont need any training.Just go out and shoot some guys. Oh and I dont even care about the RDS, Holo or stuff like that. Everything works with Ironsight perfectly.

By the way.... you arent talking about skill....you are talking about tactics.

AND you still dont get my defintion of the word luck eh? :P

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 -_- Hmm, YOUR definition of luck. See the problem there? Aiming isn't a tactic, neither is knowing your gun, or reading a situation; those are all skill sets. All iron-sights aren't perfect, recoil is unmanageable on certain guns, unless you burst fire, and it takes more than 1 or 2 bullets to drop someone. What game are you playing, because it sounds nothing like BF3. I'm starting to doubt you even have this game. What's your BattleLog account's name?

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts I dont think you need much aiming because most of the weapons work even when you spray over 100m...and which weapon has a difficult recoil? The SKS? Some crybabys couldnt use it so DICE had to fix that...I heard that the 416 has some recoil now but i have already 500 kills with it...

Which games have you played before? BF 3 has an extremly easy handling. You are the only person doubting that^^

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 No your the one dodging point and trying to be condescending when nothing you say makes sense. You honestly believe you can spray at 100m, kill people with 2 shots, iron-sights on all the guns are better than the RDS, and this game takes no skill. Like I said, what's your BattleLog? Don't dodge my points, don't change the subject, don't tell me how easy something is for you. Answer my question. What is your BattleLog account?

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts And what do you learn by looking at my W/L ratio?...

Say please and i ll tell you that my BattleLog Name is TCSxMax112

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 Considering you seem like a good player how can you still sit there with a straight face and say it's all luck and no skill. Defend claims like it takes 2 shots to kill someone, you can spray and pray at 100m, there's no recoil, the iron-sights for every single gun are best? Granted those are all personal preferences it still makes no sense to say you need no skill to play BF; all you need is to see the person first and you win.

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts Edit: The first player who shoots will always win because you just need 1 or 2 shots to kill someone. Look at him and he is dead...even Squadsprays are too easy.

That s why I dont think you need skill in BF 3. You dont need any aiming

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 Lose*

[RiverofDoubts]

@Weltenbastler2000 I also hadn't said*

[Weltenbastler2000]

@RiverofDoubts AND i have never said he should stop killing enemys from behind after he flanked behind them.I was talking about the rest of the scene where he kills those guy in that ticket thing...that wasnt flanking anymore.

[SilentLemonz]

woulda been cooler if it wasnt on the tiniest map... eh operation corridor really isnt a battlefield map anyway so who cares

[AmericanWarfare]

I don't know bout anyone else here but Team Deathmatch/ Rush are extremely fast paced on the new maps!!! 10x faster than any "other" fps.... much more destruction as well :0

[LackedBetterName]

nice lol

[Peon546]

i didnt see any killstreak, so technically it is 0

[Positionalgenius]

Beast!

[pooh4u]

oh wow clap clap, but you just had not only 1 enemy which one saw you first, means luck, nothing else.

[airth13]

@pooh4u that's why it's called FLANKING. noone is supposed to SEE me -.-

[TransAmFormulaV8]

@airth13

Really? You should read more history.

[RatedXR6]

@pooh4u pwned



[tghavok1]

@pooh4u you're an idiot. flanking is a skill, not luck based. if you know how to read the map and know where the enemy and where their attention is focused then you can easily get behind him. obviously airth13 knows how to and proved that in this video. only idiots try to just bust through an enemy.

[Badhabitsjay]

@pooh4u Holding the initiative is not luck. It is a skill, situational awareness and understanding of battle and map flow all you to know when and where the opportunity to flank is. High risk high reward. The majority of average players fight on the face to face frontline, the good players use understanding of flow to break the flow, cut entire enemy lines in half and allow the rest of the team to push straight through.

Go play a twitch shooter if you just want to see quick reactions.

[canertwo]

@Badhabitsjay

what you say is very right, but on the other hand: good players know also to back each other up :D

[filito4jc]

yeh pretty good run but if u can get that far into the maps its becuz they noobs...i usually rush wiht F2000 ..i should try putting the silencer on it tho i like the action 64 players n such but i go 42 n 11 or around 55 n 15 ..most of the time ull see my name on top "DEATHFRIDGE"

[FreeandAleX]

33 campers))

[CSSPlayer777]

u fucking luckiest man

[CommieKid]

well played

[deathmaster1andonly]

29 here on a scout heli and 28 on operation metro

[ItfellonmySpork]

18? I got a 32 killstreak :3 

[polarity1]

Nice man! 18 kill streak, flanking is the way to go.

[RaZmAFooF]

Lol I just did something similar to this on ps3 today on conquest on Tehran highway. The entire enemy team was being stupid and they all gathered by a staircase next to an objective so I jumped down behind them and literally killed the entire enemy team.

[Cjackson84O7]

@RaZmAFooF Always can count on an idiot to try and steal the shine...nice job you've been deemed that idiot.

[RaZmAFooF]

@Cjackson84O7 Yes I'm an idiot for taking advantage of other people's stupidity. What this guy was really good and I won't deny that but also it is not that uncommon for people to take advantage of other's stupidity on this game, I did it he did it. If you don't like what I commented fine, I have no problem with that everyone has a right to their own opinion but there is no need to be a jerk about it. No need to name call to let someone know you didn't like what they wrote. Have a nice day.

[Cjackson84O7]

@RaZmAFooF lol just playing with you man I feel you. I agree...

[Webster109]

I LOVE FLANKING... hell you even do it on accident if anything

[Thebill2006]

COD MW3  KICKS ASS!!!!

[McJealous]

@Thebill2006 Then why are you watching a BF3 video noob??? lol EPIC FAIL

[sharpshooter740]

The hit detection is so much better on the pc :(

[playerkyle13]

At the end "I think we mowed the entire team" well yes of course you have.

[Simplement27]

*PGM*

[Evo1ve36K]

That flank is so easy to pull on operation metro. they all get soo tunnel vision'd... nice vid man.

[alanou56170]

Très jolie on vois le rush :)

[Vagabondjonez]

Insane....

[XXSCARFACE77XX]

not bad but a lot of noobs at the other team.... -_-' and you play in normal mode try extrem much better ;)

[airth13]

@XXSCARFACE77XX there's no extreme mode on battlefield 3.

[DiPS0MaNiE]

@airth13 there is -_- it's called hardcore mode in english and it's so much better than noobish normal mode... you start with 60% health, no HUD for bullets or health, no 3D spotting, nothing over the heads of enemies, no auto health regenerating, no 3rd player vehicle cam, spawn only on squad leader...

well, true battlefield...

[DiPS0MaNiE]

@airth13 @airth13 there is -_- it's called hardcore mode in english (extrem in some other countries like france) and it's so much better than noobish normal mode... you start with 60% health, no HUD for bullets or health, no 3D spotting, nothing over the heads of enemies, no auto health regenerating, no 3rd player vehicle cam, spawn only on squad leader...

well, true battlefield...

[Takarde]

@airth13 There is. Hardcore mode.

[XXSCARFACE77XX]

@airth13 u have !!!! u dont see how many bulettes u have , grenades , you dont see you hp !!!! :p and u kill faster the ennemies :)

[johnnyp2234]

@airth13 There is. I think he just meant hardcore.

[Arakiss64]

@airth13 he means "H4rdc0re"

[asad610]

@airth13 I believe he meant hardcore :P By the way, awesome job! I flank a lot myself, but this is a work of art! :D

[562jah]

@airth13 I give you props on the Team kills. Make a new video on Hardcore.

[Game079]

@airth13 but there's hardcore mode. =)

[NonQuitCom]

@airth13 might be a COD thing i guess? lol

[zexedearth89]

@airth13

He meant hardcore.

Nice video here,man.

No jealous or anything but flaked the crap out of the russian team in the same ways u just did ,a dozen of times.

I just use F2000 + G18C Supp. combo :)

When russian,going down the 1st stairway down,moving far right and in sort of a baseraping/flank killing :P

Great map for players that use this ways ;)

[sahntitkhu]

@airth13 he meant hardcore, i think...

[destroyer1641]

@airth13 i think he means hardcore lol

[chaimtwee]

This is my tactic EXACTLY, and i wonder why more people aren't as smart as this.

[DjDialogic]

You got behind all those enemies and didn't knife even one of them? My BF3 knifing addiction would never allow that.

[JeuxVideoqc]

nice game

[lexsutil]

PC right? its tough to do it on an XBOX 360....lol

[FLYPino019]

Nice!

This is why the last guy at the back HAS to check behind him often...

[Lap1n0u06]

Not bad dude, but seriously if I had to post videos like this one each time I'm doing such a killstreak youtube would crash... The problem is not enough people is playing this game seriously, for instance you see so many noobs without a squad... Anyway, nice one but pretty common still.

[MrCluu]

GG

[MrCluu]

Oh my god xD

[GamingAnaLyZe]

Good that u put effort in posting videos of this game online.

In this case it was kinda funny how they got owned :D

So nice job ;)

Maybe U'll like mine too.

Keep it up

[TheLoicdu34]

His/her ratio ? 26-4 Not too bad... x)

[nimatrix91]

Thought it was PS3 seein' the level of opponents but no, PC ...^^

[startide]

Awesome job dude ! Most people still can't watch the fucking minimap it would seem ^^

[bkbatu]

i think i play good then he ;)

[Recrut971]

30 people were killed in this video !

[TwoCho]

Seriously, u rawks :geek:

[The89giovanni]

gg



[strangeiman]

pgm ^^

[DrZiggyzoo1]

Flanking is the tits.

[LarsenAeon]

Seriously - I play on Xbox, and as I can see from every PC gameplay, people are just dumb on PC. They never move and are completly noobs as far as I know. No wonder it's easy to play on PC

[DrZiggyzoo1]

@LarsenAeon Try playing on a 64 player server, then you'll understand.

[Wellsinator1]

@LarsenAeon

I would say its quite the opposite actually. Me, having not owned a shitty console in over two years now, can still rip this game apart because of how slow and clumsy almost all console players are (minus those few 'pros' like you, right?)

Turn the tables and my friends can barely get a shot off on my rig before they're killed. People have much faster reaction times on PC in my opinion, undoubtedly.

[0delius]

@Wellsinator1 So does using a PC make you instantly better?

[Wellsinator1]

@0delius

Yes.

[0delius]

@Wellsinator1 so does using a console make you suck that much more?

[varaHerra]

The Art of How Not to Be a Good Enemy Team XD

[Wellsinator1]

I've done better... by one kill :P haha

Your top streak: 24 Mine: 25 :)

[ImmaEminem]

@Wellsinator1 Pic or it didnt happen

lolol who cares

[MadClownGames]

Was somebody else checking out if he is not on the kill list? :D

[0delius]

if you listen real close you can hear him breathing all nasily and shit at the end

[airth13]

@0delius that's the sound battlefield 3 makes when u stop after sprinting.

[0delius]

@airth13 Damn it was SO much funnier when I thought it was you :D

[airth13]

@0delius no i don't hyperventilate when i sit in a chair.

[562jah]

@0delius Hahaha

[eyanvenom]

so how many kills was this? i dont want to count lol

[FR0STY0115]

I love this game

[ja0129]

DA DA DAS BOOTS

[SerdarCirak]

DUDE

BAATLEFIELD THEMSELVES SHARED THIS VIDEO

That's some impossi
