nope, you just gotta use your noggin and work it out for yourself sometimes - The only time you can be sure you are on the enemy minimap is if you have shot an unsuppressed weapon.
Two things: 1. the TUGS makes two different beeps. one when deployed and no enemies detected. second one when it detected an enemy . recons should know that when using it (saves looking in the minimap) (also I think that when standing still enemy TUGS won't detect you). 2. when throwing med-pack (ammo-pack and grenades as well), your character shouts something. So you might want to think twice before notifying the enemy of your location and spoil the surprise.
One extra tip for the T-UGS (and MAV too). If there is an enemy nearby he will obviously appear on the minimap. BUT! The gadget itself will produce a higher tone. That can be usefull when you have a good sound system.
Try aiming at the base of the T-UGS, where all the legs meet the main body. That's the widest area of the miniscule hitbox on that thing, so that's be best way to get it. If you have a suppressed weapon, use that, as an unsuppressed weapon will give you away anyways.
Jack, you forgot that TUGS only reveals your position when moving, but not when you're crouched or proned. You can still move whilst crouched or prone and you wont show up. Use this when you hear beeps. Keep in mind it may just be a Beacon.
Very informative video much appreciated. The content is obvious to me since I'm and experienced player but god knows there are many out there that needs this info. Everyone should spam this on Battlelog for 2-3 months ahead maybe they will learn. Thank you Jack
A community channel dedicated to Battlefield. A channel where all BF3 commentators, big and small, can share their vids and network. Come winter new games will come out and BF3 will lose players. This channel will help keep dedicated fans satisfied throughout the winter and so on. I know you already have a giant fanbase but a Battlefield channel would not be complete without you.
Don't know if you can change map zoom on console. I think you can stay off the minimap with a tugs around by crouching. The same tactic works on claymores.
actually in the first clip where u show only the tugs it hasnt spotted anyone, its only giving away the low pitched beeping, when it is showing something on the map it gives away the high pitched noise like in the second tugs clip
Great vid! Very good tips! The etiquette episode should defo include "Dont fucking get in the driver seat of a vehicle a teammate is repairing and just take off! That guy might have 10 times your experience in that vehicle and could be the game changer for that fact!"
Another good idea about taking out enemy is always shoot the medics first because they will revive their teammates which will cause problems for your team
i only use mini map for flanking vehicles and flying, Against infantry i find it next to useless, i can hear any enemy and that doesn't require me to break my concentration.
Hmm, I think that I would shoot the assault guy first, as 1: He is shooting at me, and I lack Jack's snake-like abilities of evasion 2: The engineer is running that way, so would be fairly easy to kill at the same time However, doing it the other way round is a very good option as well
Another tip...maybe you've touched on it already in another vid. The Tugs/Mavs will change to a higher pitch sound when an enemy is in range...great vid by the way
I love my ps3 too. One thing that bugs me though is keyboard movement isn't progressive. As in, its move or not move, joysticks allow the progressive movement. Which i love xD
Unfortunately the maps on console are off by about 2 or three feet. So when mortars AA or even jets try to hit something on the ground chances are it will miss. But some of those map styles seem to be dead on. Me gusta.
good vid jack! i knew the dont run ard corners tip..didnt know tht i shld be ads as i peek tho :P oh, and tht constant moving tip >< i always tend to go fr A to B thn just decide wht to do after takin stock at B..which is like..2-5mins later i get shot lol :P
i don't understand why they gave console the worst of the three. Seriously there isn't a strait line anywhere on console maps (of course im over exaggerating but you get my point). the least they could've done is add something to settings in the start menu.
episode 5 should be about camo camo saved my ass most of the times from tanks i use always sometimes depending on the map jungle camo i was laying near a tank he was aiming on me but i did not move and he did not see me :P do some camo tips!!!
Lol my other comment got too many negative votes. I will clarify. TECHNICALLY SPEAKING if you were to open up the xbox and the ps3 systems, looked at their GPU and CPU, the ps3 would win. Why? The ps3 was originally 600$ of course it would end up having better components. In the "dumbed down" i mean set to equal plane. If you made a game to run on PS3 it wouldn't be able to run smoothly on xbox. There for they have to set the plane equal so that way it can run on both systems.
i think you are my favourite battlefield youtuber jack. you are very very good at the game. you do not sound like you are up your own arse like many others do. you give brilliant tips. and are funny as hell! when said the recon dont even know what day it is, i was cracking up! sorry for the blatent arse/ass kissing.
My point of that comment was that PCs have much,much more updated stuff compared to consoles,but how do you know that,i doubt that other guy knows that for a fact and is just saying it because he is on pc.
What is it about players having those lines ||||||| in their names? I thought only hackers would do so, but you for sure aren't one, so I'm a bit confused...
Thanks for watching and for the comment :)

yup that is coming up soon :)

Easily one of the best BF3 commentaries I've ever seen. Keep 'em coming, Jack.
You know these are good videos when even though I already know and try to practice these tactics, I still enjoy watching these videos. Nice work!
What is that?
Try aiming at the base of the T-UGS, where all the legs meet the main body. That's the widest area of the miniscule hitbox on that thing, so that's be best way to get it. If you have a suppressed weapon, use that, as an unsuppressed weapon will give you away anyways.
Thanks jack, i absolutely love this series..your sense of humor sets it apart from others like it..
I did, and it will be coming up soon :)
Love the way you demonstrated that different actions result in different outcomes top notch !!
It isn't levelcap we just both had our name as a similar thing for a while :)
The M417 or the SKS are great recon weapons :D
Holy shit! An awesome youtuber actually replying to comments on their videos :O
And also, some good philosophies with gaming techniques
Jack, you forgot that TUGS only reveals your position when moving, but not when you're crouched or proned. You can still move whilst crouched or prone and you wont show up. Use this when you hear beeps. Keep in mind it may just be a Beacon.
this is soooo professionally done theres humour its straight forward and most of all i learnt something!
Jack you are awesome with the BF3 tips very detailed, and I'm looking forward to using your tactics
Ya, I run past corners constantly. Sometimes it works out in my benefit, many times I get killed, but I really should peek first.

Knifing is bad, you should only use your knife as a last resort - this will also be covered in a betterfield video ;p
Seeing the TUGS' range was very useful. I had no idea it could detect people that far away.
xFactor made a video about tugs sound. When you hear high pitched peeping, it means an enemy is near you, or you are near enemy's tugs/mav
Loved it mate! No condescending stuff, shitload a tips and tactics which seem common sense but honestly, I've never thought about em THANKS!
actually in the first clip where u show only the tugs it hasnt spotted anyone, its only giving away the low pitched beeping, when it is showing something on the map it gives away the high pitched noise like in the second tugs clip
Great vid! Very good tips!

You should state in the tutorial that only the high beep for the TUGS and MAV is when you're appearing on their map/they're appearing on your map.
Never thought of shooting a claymore to kill someone, you Sir just earned a subscriber. Great Videos.
Another good idea about taking out enemy is always shoot the medics first because they will revive their teammates which will cause problems for your team

Sometimes its better to take out the assault first because they can revive the engineer after they kill you.
One thing I think you forgot to mention was that if you're not sprinting(i.e just walking) then the T-UGS nor the MAV won't pick you up.
His humor never fails to make me giggle.
thanks jack this has helped me alot cant wait till the next one

really looking forward to the next episode - sounds like its unna be the best one :P cheers jack

Hey jack, i was wondering about this. In your episodes the screen resolution of your clips are sometimes different. I wonder why?
So informative! I had no idea you appeared on the mini-map if you fired your gun. lol
Awesome vids brother! Hey Jack you should upload your betterfield vids to Battlefield portal that Pwnstar was talkin bout
That's one of the reasons why im excited for the steambox
I may not have much bf 3 on there bc my stats hav been reset but when armored kill cones out ill have sum bf3 vids
I'm loving these videos, thanks!
Unfortunately the maps on console are off by about 2 or three feet. So when mortars AA or even jets try to hit something on the ground chances are it will miss. But some of those map styles seem to be dead on. Me gusta.
great vids. keep it on
U can also use the scan bolt to scan buildings without risking anyone's life.
And be ready to FUCKING EXPLODE if the situation calls for it. Best line ever
was just about to ask the same for xbox, but i reckon you cant unless its in the menus somewhere
hahaha i love this series, it helps out a lot and it's funny :DD
It's a community channel that Pwn started yesterday. It's already got 3 thousand subs, though no videos yet. /user/BattlePortal
I can't wait for the next one... jack you're awesome
Please make betterfield 4
Awesome! Also, I hope you win the tournament at i47!
Just a little heads up - a tiny spelling fix in the description ;)
we have to outshine consoles with such awesomeness as seen in this clip right here ,,,and to think we havent even talked about mods =D
Ca you change the way the minimap looks on console? I know you cant make it larger but i want to get that 3d look that anderz and jack use
good vid jack! i knew the dont run ard corners tip..didnt know tht i shld be ads as i peek tho :P oh, and tht constant moving tip >< i always tend to go fr A to B thn just decide wht to do after takin stock at B..which is like..2-5mins later i get shot lol :P
are you going to do another bf3 lifestream soon?
How did you get the tape on the back of your SCAR-H? Is it PC only?
i can do it on my ps3 dunno how but sometimes i press a button by mistake and the mini map is bigger
@TBE300Z I doubt it but ask on the forums
6:25 Great Success!
Is it possible to zoom or change the view of the minimap on consoles ?
jack did a vid on that a bit ago...but it is for pc....hope it helps...
i don't understand why they gave console the worst of the three. Seriously there isn't a strait line anywhere on console maps (of course im over exaggerating but you get my point). the least they could've done is add something to settings in the start menu.
Don't you have some footage from the lan? :D
Can u kill a tugs if u come across one?
but if you use your knife you wont be shown on the map??
is the extra large minimap exclusively for PC players?
i love this series
episode 5 should be about camo camo saved my ass most of the times from tanks i use always sometimes depending on the map jungle camo i was laying near a tank he was aiming on me but i did not move and he did not see me :P do some camo tips!!!
i already do most of this but i still enjoyed the vid throughly
can you zoom your mini map out on xbox or is it only pc if so how?
got any vids showing the lan?
JackFrags has the best speaking voice on youtube...
