  • dont have bf3 yet.. i'm honestly too broke.

    But your advice made me a god at bfbc2. I watched a lot of your other videos.

  • this is nothing

  • Very cool videos. Could you upload more matches where you are in communication with your team? Would be nice to see you in maps which aren't small conquest. How about Large Cqst or 32 player rush? Do you play them at all? Do you only play assault/m16, as well? Better for your team I guess if you've mastered a weapon/class.

  • Hey RivalXfactor.. Your Vids like these realllly realllyyy helps... THanks... Especially that Frames Per second accuracy and smoke bomb vids... THANKS :D

  • all sights are good for diffrent situations

  • I really enjoy your videos. As a below average player I'm always looking for tips on how to get better. I still choose the holographic sites for now because I find the zoom is helpful, but I'm trying to get used to the kobra because of the things you pointed out so well.

    Anyway..keep the vids coming...I really enjoy the match play ones as well.

  • whats that website ur at?

  • great vid =)

  • hey, i applied for your new Rival squad... when will you pick the players? I am excited to start playing with u guys if i get selected

  • @rivaLxfactor a video on using smoke would be good i use it to push when trapped in a spawn..

  • Thanks for that tip with silencer :-)

  • I find it more interresting to try and break a siege, so I often swap to the camped-in team to try and champion them. If you are a good player that can make a difference in a pub game you should do that. It makes the game more interresting for both sides, and provides a challange (and way more useful practice).

    I'm still a bit undecided on if its best to try to ninja a flag once you break free - or take the chance to slay half their team (and thus allow your team a very good chance to move up).

  • @TheStigma same, i love being the underdog and getting the satisfaction from bringing a bad team out of the shadows

  • @WeLikeDanceMusic Yea - its extra special in those few cases where you manage to reserve the flow of the game more than once in a single round ;)

    btw, arent you the guy who made that video about the explitable c4-teamswitch thing? Or was that just someone with a very similar name? Might be I am just confusing your name with someone elses.

  • @TheStigma nah man i dont make vids

  • this is one of his older videos, thus the quality isn't great.

  • nothing new there, you dont need to be a rocket scientist to figure out that you should check your surroundings in an online multiplayer ego shooter...

  • seriously ur owning :) ur playing like me but ur professional i guess :D

  • you don't use the silencer anymore, or do you? i think you said that in another video... I tried out the heavy barrel on my M16A3 because the Silencer is getting nerfed while the Heavy Barrel is getting a Buff in the next patch and I wanted to get used to it. Without a Silencer the M16A3 is really "different", i sucked at shooting the first two to three rounds but now i'm getting used to it and have a precision between 19%-23% in most matches. So: What will your Setup be or what's your actual?

  • @PanzerfaustBeats in the next patch the silencer is getting buffed and the heavy barrel will have less spread in full auto

  • omg someone who also uses the m16 alot :)

    what are you going to use on it after the february patch (i think its coming out in march)

    to me red dot, nothing/bipod, and flash suppressor looked good, foregrip is going to lower long range accuracy and flash suppressor will reduce upwards recoil as far as i know, i have about 32 service stars with the m16

  • @warfighter186 i have 32 service stars with the ak 74m :O

  • @warfighter186 i will be flash suppressor or heavy barrel

  • @rivaLxfactor speaking of which, i've been looking for info on a certain subject, and dont really see USEFUL specifics on a certain subject, and i was thinking you may want to address it for those of us who arent 100 sure..

    weapon attachments, what exactly do they all do? one example, does flash suppressor stop me from showing on the radar like a normal suppressor? i dont know, and cant see it anywhere.. would you be willing to do a video about each attachment and its effects/best uses? thanks!

  • @ChrisEngle87 also, perhaps certain game elements that arent widely known, like the "spawn invulnerability" you mention here, many dont know of it, short of "how did that guy not die!?!?" moments in game.. perhaps do a video on little known game elements like rez/spawn invulnerability (specifics, time/what removes it, i'm not even clear on that) and other things worth mentioning. i have 150+ hours of gameplay on xbox, and still dont know many of these things for certain. thanks in advance! :)

  • @rivaLxfactor practicing heavy barrel here~ :)

  • great vid, thanks for the tips, keep up the good work.

  • enemy player's are blind ???

  • @MrPrisius

    It's not that they're blind it's that they're over confident that they have a strong enough defense perimeter and they are checking their rear.

  • Thank you for that clarification Can you please explain to me how I can see enemies on the map?? Note that some of the soldiers are anonymous ..

  • i wish my pc could handle bf3, people on ps3 suck dick

  • @meneerNL same as xbox :( i keep rage quitting cuz my team often sux

  • Damn dude your hella good.

  • its already midnight and i'm still playing through all your playlist. serious vids you got there. nice tutorial :D

  • I would add: Do this ONLY if you're playing as Support and Assault. You'll fail big time if you try to do this on Recon and Engineer, unless you have no clue to what your role is and decide to go all-out like a COD nut.

  • whats ur gamertag

  • This man is serious about this game as if it's almost a real battle. This is the reason why I subscribed several posts ago. Good stuff Rival - keep it up! You're a real inspiration.

  • Good tips, bro. Think u can do a how-to vid on the do's and don'ts of the classes?

  • oh grat show fag campers howe to be bigger fags

  • Wow man, you're good. I'm gonna sub, and inform my platoon if they haven't seen your stuff yet. Your vids will help greatly.

  • you just have +1 sub :)

  • You Are really good . any tips for xbox bf3

  • well, you didn't really push out because all the flags are still red! THAT'S the way of getting your team out of a baserape, cap flags as far away as possible (in this case B or A)

  • @JettsonBE this is rush

  • @MaddDogg0fWar LOL NO IT'S NOT!

  • @JettsonBE oh i wasnt watching the flag count on the hud

  • @JettsonBE

    You would never make it through the camping hellfire without someone like him putting pressure on the other side and "opening lanes". You clearly missed the point.

  • any tips on little birds vs T90s on nosehair? I found this to be a complete joke in a clan battle lol

  • What I like about you is that you're not condescending and don't assume your viewers are idiots, like those guys who yell, "If you're freakin support, throw your freakin ammo!" You talk intelligently. Keep making videos, dude, cuz I just subscribed.

  • nice

  • you're the reason that when I play metro, I always drop tugs around where I'm doing work with the m1014 or the mp7. or deploy claymores facing towards my spawn when I'm support. :D

  • when I do this on bf3 I get called a call of duty noob

  • @TheAwwWtf what? own people?  not your fault other people are bad :)

  • @rivaLxfactor I know :) lol

  • @TheAwwWtf

    The people spawn camping are the CoD noobs and they deserve to have their teeth kicked to the back of their heads.

  • @TheAwwWtf The question is more if you do this with a usas 12 grenade round extended mag. People like this guy have a real gun with real tactics, not spam tactics with a cheap gun. Sometimes you just outsmart the other team, and some people can't handle that .')

  • @LightWthoutTheStatic I absolutely HATE anyone that uses that overpowered USAS....

    Like seriously I got shot In the leg from across the map with that gun and it killed me -_-

  • I wish we could turn that quickly on PS3 and still have decent aim control

  • @mke67 yep BC2 controls were far superior :/

  • Great vids and tips not played in a few weeks these have inspired me to get back on the ready line & I subbed good stuff! :)

  • What sensetivity do you play on?

  • @BoundlessGoat It's PC.

  • is the kobra sight really better than red dot?

  • @onkai my opinion is yes.... you can actually see the head and at distance when you have to aim over... helps greatly

  • @rivaLxfactor thanks a lot! and could you make a tutorial teaching how to play squad rush or other matches? can you give us an idea how you guys train professionally?thx again~

  • @rivaLxfactor Why don't you use the AEK? I've seen a lot of people in the professional gaming circuit use that one a lot. Preference? I know the M16A3 is good to, just wondering.

  • @rivaLxfactor try m16a3-holographic(US)- foregrip- Supp

  • Thank you. These are the best videos on youtube. You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.

  • Really helpfull

  • Great vid, being a relatively new player to battlefield, ive watched all ur vids and they really helped, keep'em comin............PLEASE

  • Hey Rival. Can you post up a video on tips about Rush game mode? I would like some tips on how to push through an heavily guarded defense please. Thank you!

  • beautiful play! I'm a 2:1 kd player, I get many kills but always end up having 20 deaths or so. Trying to become more cautious and this video is a nice view on how to do it.

  • I just wanted to add my thanks on top of what is already a huge pile of gratitude. This information is really helpful, and as someone who finds myself on the team getting camped in quite frequently, I hope that I can put these tips to good use. I very much appreciate you sharing this with the community at large!

  • i play console(xbox) and when me and three friends come together, its usualy either we have a 90% ace squad chance for the time we spend in a lobby, or its a good challenge. BUT, you have inspired me to step up my game, and thank you for the awesome vids. I hope to share your awesome knowledge with others

  • I like how you call campers 'Stagnant players' lol. subscribed

  • @Crezaki i try to be "PC"

  • Great informative videos, thanks for sharing your tips with us all!

  • wow, really helpful. your shooting is amazing. can you suggest any guns that work well for someone who cant aim ? so far i use the pdw r cos it dosnt recoil as much

  • @unistriker try adjusting your sensativity lower... windows should be set at 6 and raw input in game hsould be on...

    also never have your mouse about 1800 dpi

  • @rivaLxfactor :) its already only a quarter of the bar any lower and i probably couldnt play. btw i use xbox controller. new to pc gaming. i couldnt adapt.

  • @unistriker You already got your answer mate! Xbox controller, w0000t!

  • @unistriker you cant play on pc with an xbox controller... you will be destroyed. learn to use a mous lol

  • @FarbrorKers id love to but my setup is a pc plugged into my tv so i cant.. i jus have a wireless keyboard and track pad :( no way i could get a desk either

  • @rivaLxfactor I realize that that's a tip, but I couldn't imagine playing on any lower than 5700 dpi.

  • @silverthehedgehog007 how do you play at 5700? I would look at my and my player would 360

  • @orion2094 Because I really turn down my in game sens and my sens in the Logitech device settings (since I use the G500). Granted it's still probably really high compared to a lot of people. It really isn't that hard to control once you get use to it.

  • @silverthehedgehog007 yea I also have the G500 and I love it. Do you just turn down the in game sensitivity all the way down? I'm guessing you don't play much recon with bolt action? I would think it would be hard to aim medium/long distance with that high sens.

  • @orion2094 My in game is probably about about half or a little more than half of what Xfactors is (as seen in pt1). I don't play with bolt actions simply because they're terrible in this game. They were much better in BF2 and BC2.

  • @silverthehedgehog007 look at my mouse even...

  • @rivaLxfactor I assume your smartphone autocorrected the word above to about? Otherwise I can't make sense of that advice, and dang I need it!

  • Great vid, thanks for the tips, I've really enjoyed this Xmas break, your vids have helped improve my game play significantly. Thanks again.

  • Some awesome tips. I play a lot like you, a bit more aggressive. I live for flanking. So most of these tips I know but I didn't know about the med kit jump throw thing. That's really helpful, I hate running in the open to heal someone and ending up on the floor.

  • Nice gameplay man! Loved it!

  • @buzzcutrocks ty for the support

  • Subscribed.

  • @corvettefoo ty

  • Cool stuff, subscribed

  • @D3ADCR4P pc competition is a lot harder and more mature. Harder because teams like Rival or Hot have experiance from past battlefield games. eX-SainTT

  • Great video! Loving the tips and tricks!

  • I think you need to bust out the paddles once in a while in order to preserve tickets.

  • Did not know about the 1-2 second invulnerability. I appreciate knowing about it. Now I'll spawn and not move for a second any more lol. Gets so annoying sometimes with instant spawn deaths.

  • y u play competitive bf3 on pc when u can buy a xbawx and play for 1.6 million dollars?

  • great vid man im so gald i found you sub'ed

  • Hey great video man. I just started my channel up and its crazy how your channel blew up so fast in a week. Keep up the good work.

  • How do you feel about the L85?

  • could you make a video on the different levels of bullet drop, for example on operation firestorm when your in the mountains, i use a l96 with 12x ballistic scope

  • could you maybe make a vid on the pros and cons of some attachments that would be a big help

  • This is great. Also, I'd love to hear some of your thoughts and tips regarding the recon class. Anywho, please keep this up!

  • @ArvidNittve there is a video i made about the MAV... that is the biggest thing the recon can help with....

  • Great vid. Even though I don't have much trouble doing this in most matches, It's great to see a professional take on it. I'm definately going to emulate some of these tactics and try to move up more patiently. Looking forward to more to come

  • Thanks for the advice. Esp the info on the jump med/ammo pack. I did that with nades for distance on certain games, but never thought of doing it with the packs.

  • Subscribed! Love your videos and its helping me with my gameplay

  • u got my sub, nice video bro

  • This is really great stuff. Would love to see footage of you with your regular buddies on these smaller maps. How about actual matchplay footage?

    On Conquest I can never decide between manning fixed positions, or being more mobile as you are here...

  • @imaweerascal when it comes to playing a fixed position or pushing it depends on what your team is doing. If your team is getting the snot kicked in try to find a nice defensive spot to play to keep people from breaching. If it is a stalemate try to breach a lane!

    For in game footage of matches please see rivaLbeast channel on my featured tab!

  • I love how this games is so much like sports like soccer, you need to cover your area and if you cant you hand it off to the next guy

  • Sorry you have failed. At abou 3.00 you had maked a nice hole and you just picking up enemys! Run for the B flag or c flag somthing far away from the front so cap that and You teammates can spawn pushing towards b while someone i stil pushing from the spawn. You could maybe had wined.

  • Awesome Very Good Tips Man You Play the way this game should be played SMART

  • @infamous79936 thank you very much. I'm going to try to share most of our collective knowledge base to help everyone out!

  • Do you recommend any graphic settings? The last patch made my fps drop by 20....

    (I'm playing on medium, no AA at 1920x1080)

    I'm using Ati 5870 and Phenom x4 965.

  • @gwaniiz sorry man. Ive always been an NVIDA guy cause their drivers seem to be much better.

    I would recommend slightly overclocking your 965. If you browse the internets you can bump it 400mhz on stock cooling with a minor voltage bump...

  • @gwaniiz I also have that cpu and graphics card, and I haven't noticed any hit to my frames. I do notice a drop if I have other browser windows open. I would try starting the game with nothing else open and try not to alt tab because I hear that can reduce performance. You can also try setting hbao/sbao to off in the graphic settings for a fps boost.

  • @kenaii @rivalxfactor doesnt the silencer reduce the ADS recoil a bit? iirc it only makes the hipfire spread worse not the ADS.

  • @kazm1936 i only hip fire maybe 5 percent of the time

  • @rivaLxfactor Hehe im still used to BC2 too much, hipfire way too much, and as a result die in situations i shouldnt die in.

  • You say you're using a silencer like there should be no question, but I'm curious about that. Since this attachment reduces damage and isn't as accurate I've felt it only to be an advantage on maps involving close quarters shooting like Metro, but in any situation featuring longer distances the heavy barrel is technically a better option. What's your opinion?

  • @Kenaii I generally agree with your statement. But getting a pick on a guy on a match and NOT showing up on the minimap is huge. The damage reduction sub 100m is negligible.

    I do fool around with the heavy barrel but i do not shoot as well with it. I use BF3stats.com to measure my daily accuracies when trying new methods and combos...

  • Is the some specific reason why you use the kobra scope over red dot and holo?

    - Nice videos btw :)

  • @XsafarirangerX The kobra sight gives me the most benefit because i can see better with it. The red dot tends to cover the enemies body/head. When using the Kobra sight I average 28-40 percent headshot kills depending on the day. Use bf3stats.com to look up your daily accuracy in the history tab :)

  • Looking forward to the next one.

  • I remember you guys from the 2142 days in CAL. Thanks for sharing!

  • Great video, keep up the great tips, just a heads up, I would recommend panning the clip in a video editor in order to get rid of the black boxes.

  • @warthriller all new videos are 720p with no noob boxes... I'm a player not a video editor so I got walked through some settings. Thanks for the patience!

  • This only applies when your playing a real match. Most PUGs people just run and gun.

  • @cesar333 this is directed towards everyone... match pushes are much much different...

  • wow I wish i was that good haha, do you have any BC2 videos?

  • @EmptyThreatBand search for the channel "shibby2142" then search rivaL

    he has several of our title matches up.  He does shoutcasting :)

  • @elosization generally you have to "slow down' your gameplay.... this helps out a ton! 

  • Could you do a refresher video for us older BF fans? I played BF2/BF1942/BF2142 and I'm completely new to this "modern warfare" gen and shit. I'm just starting to get into this all, perhaps you could do something to show the old BF fans what the hell is going on?

  • Nice vid mate.

  • great video and very helpful tips

  • This video is awesome. You just got yourself another sub!

  • Great video mate, keep up the good work, i suggest you upload videos in HD

  • @kovla321 I will be going over a lot of squad tactics, how to name a map and watching lanes etc as these videos progress.

  • @max that will all be included in the MAV video.

  • Video suggestion: How to play like a Recon, flanking, spotting, supporting. (Not sniper)

  • Suggestion for another video: tips on how to train as a squad. Surprisingly, there is not much material available online. E.g. your comment on how to cover zones, etc.

  • so_pro

  • Very nice again.

    Better quality vid would be nice tho, on 480p i cant see what you're shooting at sometimes. Other than that GG

  • damn xfactor your good at commentary.

  • Amazing vids but why dont you do them in HD its realy blury

  • Thank you spliff! Next up is how to use "legal wall hacks aka the mav" this video may break pubs lol

  • @rivaLxfactor hey you wanna play with my team sometime? this is the ip address for our server battlelog.battlefield. com/bf3/servers/show/95a06264-­9fc2-4cda-82a9-8dd4fed78d5d/TJ­-Team-Judge-24-7-1000-Ticket-C­onquest/

  • @dzkahs I'm going to be starting a "game" soon. It will be labeled "playing with xfactors minions." The premise of the game is that I will join up with one person in a squad and do everything in my power to get them to a 2 or 3 to 1 K:D in a round. More details coming later!

  • @rivaLxfactor that game sounds awesome, looking forward to seeing it

  • HD?

  • Dude you are on fire today lol

    Thx for the awesome gameplay/tips (i just watched all 3 vids)

    AOD_AdmiralSpliff
