the one thing i hate about this gum is u have to win 5 squad deathmatch rounds to unlock it. everytime i look for one i get stuck on a terrible team or the search cant find one
Great advice. I just used the standard grenade launcher. The problem that most people are having trouble towards unlocking the L85A2 is the "Win 5 Squad deathmatch" rounds. I'd advise having 2 medics and 2 engineers ( If one, make sure the other is support, recon isn't too smart. ) on your team. It's tough though because the game mode isn't common and if you join a game, you'll 87% most likely be sent to the losing team. Took a while but worth it, beast weapon.
yeah, I agree, I usually hang back on maps like metro or bazaar and run around reviving and supporting my team with medpacks and accurate medium range range fire.
Lol I still don't have this because of Squad Deathmatch. Maybe I'll go out for it now. I have to say I like listening to you guys commentate on the weapons. I'm glad that InTheWorks posted you on his channel.
Took me three days of straight play to unlock this, and I was not disappointed. Phenomenal accuracy, even without Heavy Barrel. I haven't had this kind of success with an assault rifle since the pre-patch FAMAS. Definitely worth the grind.
This weapon is BEAST, I loved using it even before I found your weapon reviews,and I love using it even more after I saw this video (for some reason :P )
WOW DUDE I DEFINITLY SUBBED! this by far has been the best BF3 info video i have ever seen. Thanks for posting on my channel to check your vids, these videos are the best i have ever seen. You guys are amazing! I am just so astounded! i have never seen duel weapon review commentators and rating or the gun. wow truly amazing, i cant think of anything else to say about u guys. :D could you do the MK3A1 or the MP7?
A great way to win SQDM is on Crossing is to set up in the middle building. It has a good view of C and D of conquest. Go in as a support and C18 the stairs. But the best way is doing it with team work and getting the veichle.
You guys have really helped me out in BF3, and I always stay regularly updated for one of your fantastic weapon reviews. I am unhappy with the rude gestures that come from noobs raging about what you say in your reviews, you must be thinking, "Excuse me for saying the truth!"
Tied for my favourite gun in the game. I pretty much never panic fire so even in CQ it's effective and it allows you to shoot a sniper in the face more than almost any other gun. Good close-to-long range gun. If I'm playing a bigger map though, I switch to the G3A3. Two very good guns if you're less about shooting from the hip.
In the the new CLOSE QUARTERS map pack you get the L86A2 the machine gun version of this gun that shoots at 750rpm and with 45+1 bullets per mag which can be increased to a total of 60+1 bullets per mag with the extended mag attachment but not as low recoil and accurate as the L85A2 (Get premium totally worth it)
One of the best assault rifles imo. I like to use an ACOG and heavy barrel with it, and it should get even better when the next patch hits and heavy barrel gets an upgrade.
Hey guys, I want to give you some advice. For the under slung grenade launcher, You can use any grenade launcher. Use the M320 BUCK. It claims to be buckshot, it's actually flechette, and it works like a freakin slug shotgun. It got me trough the challenge fast.
L85A2 has been my go-to assault class weapon ever since its release! It took me a whole week to unlock it (you know why...) but it definitely paid off.
@DocPolarBear Thumb up for this guy! I also would like to see the KH2002 review, especially after the latest patch getting released which will fix the burst shot jam issue. As for your question, this gun is as accurate as a semiautomatic rifle and has much less recoil comparing to other assault rifles based on my own experience.
Because those countries set the standard for weapons manufacturing. The first 7.62mm Soviet round was first introduced into Soviet rifles at the end of WW2. The 5.56 NATO round was first used in the AR-10 (the grandfather of the M16 and subsequent variants). Originally, the premier rifle round was .303 Lee-Enfield. Colt and Kalashnikov are still the standards for manufacturing weapons
this gun is pure class. like the scar L once you account for the slight vertical recoil its a laser beam. The heavy barrel is a must I think as it sharpens the aim a little more. Its deadly as its easy to aim but also importantly its easy to adjust the aim when going full auto. This translates to multi kills, it can wipe a room of guys out before they adjust to you. You don't have to spray with this gun, it seeks the enemy. Just went 51-15 with it in CQ so its fire rate is a merit in my book.
@SHuSTYBANG Speaking of patching, are you guys going to do a follow up (in some cases a follow up of a follow up) reviews of all the weapons again once the patch hits?
Kind of an odd suggestion, but you guys should give an overview of the upcoming patch. The update is on symthic.com and it'd be cool to hear your impressions, what you think is noteworthy (besides the blessed frag round nerf), and how your weapon customizations might change.
I think this is easily the best weapon for the assualt class, the low firerate is actually it's greatest benefit as it forces you to shoot mroe accurately and also helps conserve ammo, I have more than once, found it possible to kill 4 or 5 people without reloading because nearly everyround I fired hit the target, this plus it's non-existant recoil makes it a extremely effective and versatile weapon.
I just unlocked the l85 yesterday ... And I really like it ! Me and my friends played squad rush and every time I came up against an enemy , I always won no matter what
Well I did not know that as I would of never touched that gun since my experience before the patch. Thanks for the insight, I may have to try this gun out once again
Use a foregrip with this gun and you'll be beasting it, my preferred attachments are Holographic sights, fore grip, and heavy barrel(sometimes suppressor if I want to play stealthy)
Depends on the situation, I like the Flash suppressor for some reason, makes the recoil non existent literally, and I normally use the HB with other guns. It is mainly for medium range though, so heavy barrel does make it god like, its hard to say I've got 8* with this gun it works amazing with both, but I'd say flash suppressor
@jvc003 no the original one was the enfield xl64 which was in black ops, this is the new l85a2 which is now made by hk due to some minnor defalts in the a1 veriant
It's all about using the ELCAN and heavy barrel. Largely because it's as close as you can get to the real set up =[ Why you no SUSAT, RIS, or ACOG with Hornbill mount DICE?!
depends on your play style if your more of a run and gun i would suggest the AUG A3 if your more of a long range play style camping and taking out targets from further away i would suggest the L85A2 but in my personal opinion I have no trouble outperforming other players in CQB with the L85A2
i found for me that the HBAR sometimes fuxx it up in CQC hipfiring situations and on longer distances im doing well w/o it, so i dont use HBAR silencer is good for this gun, flash supressor not needed tbh(low vertical recoil anyways), grip is no need aswell so maybe put on the laser and silencer for flanking and CQC, otherwise run naked with maximum 3.4 sight, i prefer the iron sight
I'm not sure why, but the overall attitude of people on your reviews is very (perhaps) troll-like. I personally love the videos, and just want to say thanks for them! Really wish people would give you more respect for just being honest.
The "Anti-SR" AR, for when you want to punish and troll snipers. Make sure you have at least the HBAR, switch to single-fire mode, and aim for the lens reflection...
I actually found this gun to be good with an ACOG sight,grip, and a heavy barrel and assault with my teammates.Not getting very close,though.I just sit back a couple of feet and help from medium range.
Shustybang I just wanted to say your content is top nouch and is very professional , your review are the best on RUclips :) can you do the kh2000 in the future ? It's a brilliant weapon if.you give it time :)
Yoou're going to have to redo some of your reviews after this next patch comes out lol, looks like stats on pretty much every assault rifle and carbine are changing
This gun is unbelievable. Truly flawless with a CQC pistol. When you use this gun its stats sound bad but multiple all its stats by 1.5x, that is how it truly feels.
Such a good gun. I wouldn't going back to this gun, the power behind it helps with that slow rate of fire. I agree with 4.5/5 For weapon review suggestions, I have a few to request. QBZ-95B (eng), Any (all if possible) of the Bolt Action Snipers, and the 93R for a pistol choice. I know you've been doing the front line style of weapons so far, but something on the long range weapons would be awesome. For something different.
Agreed guys, this gun on paper should be the last thing you should use but.... Its everything and more. With the low fire rate every round fired hits the target! Im a massive fan of this and the AEK which one i'd choose I couldn't tell you there both good.
I'm about 2/3rds of the way to unlocking this weapon i just need the grenade launcher kills! One question which Grenade launcher do you use, the under-barrel one or the hand held M320? Because i'm using the AEK-971 with a scope and a silencer and i'm quiet close to unlocking the Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher!
You guys seem to have a similar play style to me, mainly bc I agree with you reviews exactly. Anyways, what all kit weapon do you recommend for aggressive recon? I prefer those low ROF weapons. Right now I use PDR, and UMP 45.
I only use this now with assault class, i was bored on Caspian border today and put a heavy barrel on and 6x scope and used it as sniper LOL it worked pretty well :D this gun rapes long range like no other gun and close you just try to aim for the head, this is the best assault for now imo it almost never lets me down..
I prefer the L85A2 over the M16A3 for some reason, maybe because I think the L85A2 looks cooler and I have a certain fondness of bullpups. Good review!
Do you guys think that Foregrip is even necessary? I would think that that would nerf it's ability since it doesn't really have much horizontal spread on its own.
I am thankful I graduated college before this, and the 360 for that matter, came out. I would have never graduated. Counterstrike was good, but man. Proof my wife loves me that I can play as much as I do (though she is asleep when I play usually).
i think the patch after the karkand expansion made the heavy barrell give this gun more upper recoil is not the beast it used to be but it is pretty darn good still
Is it just me, or are the Karkand weapons mostly also the weapons from the Killzone series? I know that the guns from Killzone are inspired by real-life guns and I was so thrilled with getting them in this expansion. Especially the L85 (aka M82) and the PP-19 (aka Sta11)!
hey snoov I was thinking about getting a dlc and I dont have premium, and I was wondering what dlc would be the best for new weapons and assignments? -Bob
This is the best weapon for me. Best all round kit is iron sight because it is so clear. No grips because you lose that accuracy. And Laser sight because it just has brilliant hip fire so you don't have to look down the sight. Its a laser from the hip with laser sight and small spread so nearly all bullets hit on target every time. Don't use hevey barrle because it increaces recoil.
I just unlocked this gun today. I love it good damage, reload time is great, good iron sight. Only thing is that the recoil seems to be noticeable is that just me or is there medium to high recoil on the gun.
Because I'm not, my family WAS. Then I moved to another location in the UK. Was going to move to Ireland but thought it would be too awkward with all the currency changes etc...
Can you do the An-94 Abakan; its like the L85; the stats are not as good as other assualt rifles, but it seems amazing! I used its two round burst with a bipod and a x7 PSO and its just wonderful.
the one thing i hate about this gum is u have to win 5 squad deathmatch rounds to unlock it. everytime i look for one i get stuck on a terrible team or the search cant find one
This is my favorite assault rifle in game and in real life hands down!!!
So as mine
You were in the military?
Tempest Jay how can i get it?
i really like your gun reviews, unlike other reviewers, you go past the stats almost completely and tell me if it is a gun i should be using.
Great advice. I just used the standard grenade launcher. The problem that most people are having trouble towards unlocking the L85A2 is the "Win 5 Squad deathmatch" rounds. I'd advise having 2 medics and 2 engineers ( If one, make sure the other is support, recon isn't too smart. ) on your team. It's tough though because the game mode isn't common and if you join a game, you'll 87% most likely be sent to the losing team. Took a while but worth it, beast weapon.
yeah, I agree, I usually hang back on maps like metro or bazaar and run around reviving and supporting my team with medpacks and accurate medium range range fire.
Thanks for tge reviews. These have turned me on to many guns i never thought about using. Thanks for the vids and keep it up
Gotta say guys: Your weapon review video's have been very helpful to me! Thanks for sharing!
this is one of the few guns that stood out to me when i first used it. great video as always guys :)
MAN, I WAS SO BORED OF BF3 BUT YOUR REVIEWS MADE ME GO TRY OUT SOME NEW WEAPONS THNX ALOT FOR THE REVIEW
Finally unlocked this yesterday. Only took me 13 years. Great video!
Lol I still don't have this because of Squad Deathmatch. Maybe I'll go out for it now. I have to say I like listening to you guys commentate on the weapons. I'm glad that InTheWorks posted you on his channel.
Took me three days of straight play to unlock this, and I was not disappointed. Phenomenal accuracy, even without Heavy Barrel. I haven't had this kind of success with an assault rifle since the pre-patch FAMAS. Definitely worth the grind.
This weapon is BEAST, I loved using it even before I found your weapon reviews,and I love using it even more after I saw this video (for some reason :P )
I agree Snoov, looking down and taking out your defibs can be time consuming at times.
WOW DUDE I DEFINITLY SUBBED! this by far has been the best BF3 info video i have ever seen. Thanks for posting on my channel to check your vids, these videos are the best i have ever seen. You guys are amazing! I am just so astounded! i have never seen duel weapon review commentators and rating or the gun. wow truly amazing, i cant think of anything else to say about u guys. :D could you do the MK3A1 or the MP7?
PP-2000 next. As per the review, thanks. Guess I can wait to pursue it, having the equally-rated FAMAS. Keep them coming, enjoying all these reviews.
This is my favourite gun without a doubt. Never have I performed so well with any other gun! It's just perfect!
A great way to win SQDM is on Crossing is to set up in the middle building. It has a good view of C and D of conquest. Go in as a support and C18 the stairs. But the best way is doing it with team work and getting the veichle.
I adore this gun, and find it usefull in any situation. My preffered attatchments are PK-A 3.4 Scope, Heavy Barrel and a Bi-Pod.
The gun's fantastic
You guys have really helped me out in BF3, and I always stay regularly updated for one of your fantastic weapon reviews. I am unhappy with the rude gestures that come from noobs raging about what you say in your reviews, you must be thinking, "Excuse me for saying the truth!"

@Skater550 no it's the L85A2 from the British army, the LSW is the fire support version
5/5, grip, heavy barrel, rds/holo depending on how close the map is (holo has a little zoom)... awesome gun.
Hey guys, I want to give you some advice. For the under slung grenade launcher, You can use any grenade launcher. Use the M320 BUCK. It claims to be buckshot, it's actually flechette, and it works like a freakin slug shotgun. It got me trough the challenge fast.
L85A2 has been my go-to assault class weapon ever since its release! It took me a whole week to unlock it (you know why...) but it definitely paid off.
SQDM wins took a while but it was absolutely worth it, love this gun.

i loved this gun in bf2 and now its just as accurate at mid range, which is my normal range. good review.

Thanks for that. What do you think about the M416? I think it might be a bit more flexible given its higher ROF
hey man! really loving the reviews, definitely subing, but do you mind doing the saiga 12k????
@jvc003 no the original one was the enfield xl64 which was in black ops, this is the new l85a2 which is now made by hk due to some minnor defalts in the a1 veriant
One of the best and one of my favorite. Just unlocked it and I already have almost 500 kills with it. It's such an accurate weapon
It's all about using the ELCAN and heavy barrel. Largely because it's as close as you can get to the real set up =[
Why you no SUSAT, RIS, or ACOG with Hornbill mount DICE?!
Have you guys done the PDW-R? I would like to see that.
depends on your play style if your more of a run and gun i would suggest the AUG A3 if your more of a long range play style camping and taking out targets from further away i would suggest the L85A2 but in my personal opinion I have no trouble outperforming other players in CQB with the L85A2
Hey bro, any possibility of you reviewing the G3A3? I'd like to see if it's worth the Co-op Effort.
I love the irons on this thing, just love them
i found for me that the HBAR sometimes fuxx it up in CQC hipfiring situations and on longer distances im doing well w/o it, so i dont use HBAR
silencer is good for this gun, flash supressor not needed tbh(low vertical recoil anyways), grip is no need aswell
so maybe put on the laser and silencer for flanking and CQC, otherwise run naked with maximum 3.4 sight, i prefer the iron sight

I was hoping if you guys can do a review on my personal favorite the M60E4
Shustybang I just wanted to say your content is top nouch and is very professional , your review are the best on RUclips :) can you do the kh2000 in the future ? It's a brilliant weapon if.you give it time :)

Nice review. Can you do a review of the L96?
With ACOC, heavy barrel and fore grip, this weapon is a beast!
you guys helped me on how to get the M1911 and the L85A2..... SUBED!!!
I'm just trying the AN-94 now seems pretty accurate, Just need the muzzle flash attachment to lower the recoil a bit.
Agreed guys, this gun on paper should be the last thing you should use but.... Its everything and more. With the low fire rate every round fired hits the target! Im a massive fan of this and the AEK which one i'd choose I couldn't tell you there both good.
Is this gun also more accurate or has less recoil than the other assault rifles?
btw, I would like to see the kh2002
I'm about 2/3rds of the way to unlocking this weapon i just need the grenade launcher kills! One question which Grenade launcher do you use, the under-barrel one or the hand held M320? Because i'm using the AEK-971 with a scope and a silencer and i'm quiet close to unlocking the Under-Barrel Grenade Launcher!
L85 is a very reliable weapon, been using it since bf2. All bf3 players NEED to try this weapon...
You guys seem to have a similar play style to me, mainly bc I agree with you reviews exactly. Anyways, what all kit weapon do you recommend for aggressive recon? I prefer those low ROF weapons. Right now I use PDR, and UMP 45.
I am finally figuring this gun out. Really starting to like it.
Please review the sks :-) no one has really done one online. Cheers love your work.
Always play with this in the game, was my standard issue rifle when I was in the british army.
I only use this now with assault class, i was bored on Caspian border today and put a heavy barrel on and 6x scope and used it as sniper LOL it worked pretty well :D this gun rapes long range like no other gun and close you just try to aim for the head, this is the best assault for now imo it almost never lets me down..
What sensitivity do you play on? I've been trying to find a commentator that plays bf3 on the ps3. Please reply. Thank you. SUBSCRIBED :)
Still got too unlock it. Can't wait.
I prefer the L85A2 over the M16A3 for some reason, maybe because I think the L85A2 looks cooler and I have a certain fondness of bullpups. Good review!
Do you guys think that Foregrip is even necessary? I would think that that would nerf it's ability since it doesn't really have much horizontal spread on its own.
@SHuSTYBANG what kind of info can you give on patches? what snipers etc. and of course the usas12. is every gun being patched? or just a few?
I am thankful I graduated college before this, and the 360 for that matter, came out. I would have never graduated. Counterstrike was good, but man. Proof my wife loves me that I can play as much as I do (though she is asleep when I play usually).
i think the patch after the karkand expansion made the heavy barrell give this gun more upper recoil is not the beast it used to be but it is pretty darn good still

I know that the guns from Killzone are inspired by real-life guns and I was so thrilled with getting them in this expansion. Especially the L85 (aka M82) and the PP-19 (aka Sta11)!
Are u guys gonna review the G3A3?
I enjoyed using this weapon since BF2, it's deadly in the right hand
how can i get this gun 2017 xbox 360
Premium
hey snoov
I was thinking about getting a dlc and I dont have premium, and I was wondering what dlc would be the best for new weapons and assignments?
-Bob
you don't need to have premium, just the close quarters expansion. And yeah, the ACW-R is a very good gun if you know how to use it.
Oh p.s for those who dont know, a gun is a firearm without rifling in the barrel but a rifle does have rifling in the barrel :)
you guys should do a attachment in-depth video.
doesn't this gun have a light machine gun version or this is the LMG if you just put the drum magazine.?
Can you do a long video where you have all the guns and rank them from worst to best in each class? In your opinion ofc.
This is the best weapon for me. Best all round kit is iron sight because it is so clear. No grips because you lose that accuracy. And Laser sight because it just has brilliant hip fire so you don't have to look down the sight. Its a laser from the hip with laser sight and small spread so nearly all bullets hit on target every time. Don't use hevey barrle because it increaces recoil.
I just unlocked this gun today. I love it good damage, reload time is great, good iron sight. Only thing is that the recoil seems to be noticeable is that just me or is there medium to high recoil on the gun.
Amazing after the grind!
Subbed for awesome vids and your love of this gun
can i add you guys on ps3 because seriously youre reviews are awsome and you guys are just amazing at the game
with the grenade launcher, does it have to be on an underslung rail or standalone
Mad that foregrip affects aimed fire and somehow silencers make it have even more reoil :0
Because I'm not, my family WAS. Then I moved to another location in the UK. Was going to move to Ireland but thought it would be too awkward with all the currency changes etc...
how accurate is it, and how well does it perform against multiple enemies at different ranges, and how does it compare to the famas and f2000?
Can you do the An-94 Abakan; its like the L85; the stats are not as good as other assualt rifles, but it seems amazing! I used its two round burst with a bipod and a x7 PSO and its just wonderful.
You guys should review the Saiga 12K. I like the gun, but never ever see it get used.
yeah right.. those rocket kills for ACW-R and I think the QBZ were awful too, but the repair tool and EOD BOT kills were very fun to get :D
Any chance you're review the DAO-12?
