It doesn't help that BF1 and BFV both dropped the ball on the BF3/BF4 game feel. BF1 is good in it's own right, and I'll give BFV the benefit of the doubt that it learned from it's mistakes. I think it's safe to assume that BF4 was the last truely great Battlefield title that the entire community can get behind. It's just sad that it's aging and casual players drop it for newer titles thinking newer = better. 2013, we haven't had that inital experience for 8 years. That's long enough to probably get a medical degree and to currently be looking into getting a certified practice, that's saying something.
@@AlfredFJones1776 Atmosphere, definitely. It has it's perks over BF4. BF4 has better gun play, better vehicles, better weapon classes (universal DMRs, carbines, and shotguns), and debatably better gadgets. Only thing BF1 has going for it is the game modes and atmosphere. Breakthrough is awesome, and "rush" isn't dead on that game. BF4 technically has better modes but now-a-days all you see is Seige and Locker 24/7 servers; while there is Verdun (Fort De Vaus(?)) 24/7 servers, the game is still alive outside of them.
You guys should do more guns from BF4 like the 2013 AK-12, AEK-971, AN-94, MBT LAW, FGM-172 SRAW e other weapons that aren't that common in other games I would love to see that

Yeah I think it was a gameplay balance choice as much as anything, you don’t want to give people a weapon they can one shot enemies behind cover with . .
Back in BF4's CTE days (and a bit before) I had the pleasure of working with one of DICE's animators and one of their gameplay guys on fixing and improving a massive amount of the weapon authenticity and attention to detail stuff, so it's really satisfying to see someone as knowledgeable (and all-round nice guy) as Jonathan look through some of them. We got a ton of "small" stuff fixed like reload timings and save points, or the default paint on the AK-12/ACE families and similar removed, but also bigger stuff like changing the calibres (JS2 from 5.8mm / 50 rounds to 9mm / 30 rounds comes to mind) or mag capacities (QBB-95 to 75 rounds like we see in this video, 93R to 15, U-100 to 30, CS/LR4 to 5, etc), and even getting a couple of them renamed (which has to go through Legal). This is why the "RPK-74M" and "L96A1" were corrected to "RPK" and "L115", respectively, with the matching calibre and mag size fixes. :)
More like Splinter Cell SC2000. Halo AR was based around it, but tbh, varies a lot in design. Instead, The Halo Sniper has a much better resemblance in the Denel NTW 20.
Metal Gear in general has a lot of good stuff ripe for this series. I remember watching a tour of Kojima’s old studio and there was like a pile of props-everything from rocket launchers to a giant claymore sword.
Can we get an episode of Jonathan just going over his favorite firearms? I feel like he’s such a personality at this point that he deserves an episode of his favorites.
The _Mare's Leg_ is a decent secondary in Hardcore, where its scope and little muzzleflash and rather quite sound make it a decent mid-range concealment sniper. But thats might be more working around the weaknesses than exploiting its potential. It was fun though.
I remember having a lot of fun with the Mare's Leg while I was using a run-and-gun setup but still needing something to counter snipe and humiliate. Hoping Battlefield 6 brings that kind of fun back.
I still play battlefield 4 occasionally. I always loved the bullet drop feature, because while a bit exaggerated at times, it makes sniping a hell of a lot more difficult and rewarding than in a game like Call of Duty.
The Marlin underlever. 44 is the same model I own, it came in the stainless Alaskan style with big lever loop for operating with gloves/mittens, but the rectangular lever is the standard fitted and very hard on the fingers (I've para wrapped mine for speed shooting). Watched a few of these vids with Jonathan and thoroughly enjoying
About the mtar-21 As an active service man in IDF The so called mtar is actually called x-95 by iwi Still used today the same version you see in the game Some battalions do received the upgraded version but still the "old" version still being used Great weapon for CQB missions but also good on effective range of 250 meters in open combat
@@gateausalaire1872 Beautiful yes, great? No. 3 types of customization for each gun and only a handful of guns for each subclass. I say this with over 300 hours in bf1.
I love how he was saying how the Mare's Leg is a not very good weapon, while I literally got my 1st kill with that. He's right, I'm just proud of that accomplishment
2:36 Reason for the high bullet drop is that snipers in BF4 have a 15m/s^2 rate of fall, much more than the 9.81m/s^2 in real life. For balancing purposes, I would assume.
As for the QBB - 95 - 1 ( Chinese Type 95 ), check with any of your Canadian friends as well. A small number of civilian versions had been imported there, iirc. Thank you to Jonathan at The Royal Armouries.
You know a gun is rare when the guy who helps run the Royal Armories has NEVER seen the real thing before lol And I will always appreciate that Jonathan thinks about game balance when some things are not quite as accurate as they could be
Like Ian from ForgottenWeapons, he's the best sort of expert you can hope for in any field. Humble and willing to admit to not knowing things, and also understanding of why certain liberties are taken in media and such.
Can we all give props to the gamespot employees that grab these clips? They’re always ballin’ man, playing good as hell! Game journos that can play games, insane!
Would love to see Jonathan react to DayZ weapons. Repairing weapons with duct tape/using a bottle as a suppressor or having frequent jams based on the weapons condition
That perception of very pronounced bullet drop on snipers is indeed actually happening not just a perception. It’s happening because the devs make the snipers bullets drop at a rate higher than earths gravity in real life. Gravity’s force is equivalent to ~9.81 meters per second, whereas the snipers in bf4 had a drop rate of ~15 meters per second (barring a couple exceptions like the FY-JS which I think had something like 8m/s bullet drop). As well as lower mussel velocity from their real life counterparts.
The XM25 was an issued weapon in the US Army, until one had a catastrophic malfunction and killed the user. Because the round detonated in the mag, or maybe an out of battery discharge, and it’s a bullpup, it exploded right next to his head and killed him, then got pulled from service.
2:31 For anyone that doesn't know, BF4 actually does this. Bullet drop is way exaggerated, presumably to make the maps feel even larger or to emphasize skill gap. The muzzle velocity of all guns is unrealistically low. For example, a muzzle velocity of ~650m/s is considered very fast in this game, whereas IRL it's normal for a 338 lapua mag bullet to leave the gun at maybe ~900m/s. Secondly, the gravity for bullets is set to 15m/s^2 for all weapons classes except sniper rifles. Snipers have gravity set to normal 9.81m/s^2 with few exceptions, however due to the low muzzle velocity, the bullet drop may still feel exaggerated. Furthermore, if you equip a suppressor, the game also automatically makes you use subsonic ammo, with some exceptions like snipers where the muzzle velocity is set to a little bit above the standard speed of sound at like 370m/s, which is still painfully slow.

So that adds more joy seeing Jonathan on these weapons in games and likely going to buy his book to read too.
I just want jonathan to talk about the AUG one time
I used one for 4 years, I can talk to you about it

When he said “2013’s BF4” I felt like I got punched in the gut. “2013?! The fuck do you mean 2013?!” Why am I getting old
I know right? It feels like yesterday
It doesn't help that BF1 and BFV both dropped the ball on the BF3/BF4 game feel. BF1 is good in it's own right, and I'll give BFV the benefit of the doubt that it learned from it's mistakes.
I think it's safe to assume that BF4 was the last truely great Battlefield title that the entire community can get behind. It's just sad that it's aging and casual players drop it for newer titles thinking newer = better. 2013, we haven't had that inital experience for 8 years. That's long enough to probably get a medical degree and to currently be looking into getting a certified practice, that's saying something.
I was 5 when the NES debuted in the US, get off my lawn.
@@SkyNinja759 BF1 is leagues better than BF4.
@@AlfredFJones1776 Atmosphere, definitely. It has it's perks over BF4.
BF4 has better gun play, better vehicles, better weapon classes (universal DMRs, carbines, and shotguns), and debatably better gadgets.
Only thing BF1 has going for it is the game modes and atmosphere. Breakthrough is awesome, and "rush" isn't dead on that game. BF4 technically has better modes but now-a-days all you see is Seige and Locker 24/7 servers; while there is Verdun (Fort De Vaus(?)) 24/7 servers, the game is still alive outside of them.
You guys should do more guns from BF4 like the 2013 AK-12, AEK-971, AN-94, MBT LAW, FGM-172 SRAW e other weapons that aren't that common in other games I would love to see that
Actually the AK-12 prototype was from 2012, I think... But whatever good suggestion
AN-94 is in black ops 2 and modern warfare
@@bobbyjoe3.148 Still not that commun to see, you don't expect to see it in every FPS like a AKM or M4
Aek-971 is my favorite gun of all time
@@bobbyjoe3.148 Ak 12 was in cod advanced warfare too
I am simple man. I see Jonathan. I like.
I click too
I feel pretty privileged hearing him say he's "never seen one" when I get to fuck around with one every time I visit my brother. Didn't know they were that rare, damn lol
What? The 412 rex revolver?
@@zarakdurrani7584 been a while since I watched this video but I'm pretty sure, I remember my brother only saying if I scratched it or dropped it he's shoot me with it 😂 said it was incredibly rare and took him like 6 years to get his hands on
@@nathengrim5041 Sounds awesome, I'd donate it in a museum, unless its worth as much as a car or something.
Can we discuss how great this game looks despite its age? It holds up insanely well
And is still active
@@DustMug Weirdly enough, the servers that are up are mainly ones that restrict shotgun and launcher usage... for some reason...
@@Ch4pp13 Launchers and shotguns aren't that fun as they mostly ruin the fun for other players. - EDIT Realizing how stupid this sounded now since I wrote it really late, I meant to say something entirely different as I use shotguns all the time.
@@zversace8902 I'd say getting wrecked over and over again by a helicopter while Stingers and Iglas are banned is more infuriating, especially when they run away whenever a slight breeze comes their way.
@@Ch4pp13 it’s a situational type of thing I suppose
It kinda looks like the lower power of 25mm grenades was acknowledged in the game, as the player keeps only getting assists with it.
Irl it was made even weaker because the timer thingy would take up payload space/weight! Basically theres no justification for something like that
Yeah I think it was a gameplay balance choice as much as anything, you don’t want to give people a weapon they can one shot enemies behind cover with . .
Cover the firearms used in the 2005 Monolith Video game “F.E.A.R” (First Encounter Assault Recon)!
I wished they talked about the unica that's my favourite sidearm in that game.
Did you mean _the Chiappa Rhino_
Seconded
@@cottonballs185 Both are cool as hell, but I mostly ran with the Rhino as well
Or the Benelli M4 (M1014): Italian power right there
@@cottonballs185 the unica has a cooler reload imo (at least the one I saw irl had).
Back in BF4's CTE days (and a bit before) I had the pleasure of working with one of DICE's animators and one of their gameplay guys on fixing and improving a massive amount of the weapon authenticity and attention to detail stuff, so it's really satisfying to see someone as knowledgeable (and all-round nice guy) as Jonathan look through some of them. We got a ton of "small" stuff fixed like reload timings and save points, or the default paint on the AK-12/ACE families and similar removed, but also bigger stuff like changing the calibres (JS2 from 5.8mm / 50 rounds to 9mm / 30 rounds comes to mind) or mag capacities (QBB-95 to 75 rounds like we see in this video, 93R to 15, U-100 to 30, CS/LR4 to 5, etc), and even getting a couple of them renamed (which has to go through Legal). This is why the "RPK-74M" and "L96A1" were corrected to "RPK" and "L115", respectively, with the matching calibre and mag size fixes. :)
Cool
Love the f2000, it's like a real world halo assault rifle
They were importing these into Canada around 2010-2012 it was a semi auto version but was like $4000. I wanted one so bad because of halo lol
More like Splinter Cell SC2000.
Halo AR was based around it, but tbh, varies a lot in design. Instead, The Halo Sniper has a much better resemblance in the Denel NTW 20.
@@shiveshsingh3169 the halo AR was designed before the reveal of Fn2000. The designer was disappointed.
@@shiveshsingh3169 no. The halo AR was designed way before the reveal of the Fn2000
Jonathan now reviewing the firearms of one of the best shooters of all time! I’m glad they’re still plenty of people playing BF4. Servers are full :)
7:05 the closest we'll get to him discussing a Bolter
BEGONE HERETIC!
This comment aged well
MGS4? Man, that would be a field day, would love to see if there were real world parallels to the Sorrow and Psycho Mantis Dolls too lol
Metal Gear in general has a lot of good stuff ripe for this series. I remember watching a tour of Kojima’s old studio and there was like a pile of props-everything from rocket launchers to a giant claymore sword.
I would love him to talk about MGS3 more. Especially on how Snake comments to each firearms he obtain.
@@ShotgunGabe That'd be awesome :D I imagine Johnny would be correcting SIGINT on nearly everything lol
This man is the only thing keeping Gamespot alive
Can we get an episode of Jonathan just going over his favorite firearms? I feel like he’s such a personality at this point that he deserves an episode of his favorites.
Do like a breakdown of his fav. Sidearm, SMG, Tactical Rifle, Shotgun, Precision Rifle, Machine Gun, etc.
The _Mare's Leg_ is a decent secondary in Hardcore, where its scope and little muzzleflash and rather quite sound make it a decent mid-range concealment sniper. But thats might be more working around the weaknesses than exploiting its potential. It was fun though.
I remember having a lot of fun with the Mare's Leg while I was using a run-and-gun setup but still needing something to counter snipe and humiliate. Hoping Battlefield 6 brings that kind of fun back.
GameSpot channel: *exists*
Jonathan: "I'ma about to make this guy's entire career!"
Chuck Connors created the Iconic flip reload that is used in the terminator movies.
Jonathan literally has the best job ever
I still play battlefield 4 occasionally. I always loved the bullet drop feature, because while a bit exaggerated at times, it makes sniping a hell of a lot more difficult and rewarding than in a game like Call of Duty.
I’m just gonna say:
Firearms Expert Reacts to “Black”
you know the one with the spas 12 that sounds like your smashing a hole In reality itself
Yeah pls gamestop
Or the M60/M249 forgot which one exactly that gave you real life tinnitus if you had headphones hahah
More from bf4 as well as escape from tarkov please, this was awesome! What would also be interesting is for him to react to Arma 3
I love to see Jonathan watch and react to astartes..... and then talk about the weapons of 40k
That would be great
The Marlin underlever. 44 is the same model I own, it came in the stainless Alaskan style with big lever loop for operating with gloves/mittens, but the rectangular lever is the standard fitted and very hard on the fingers (I've para wrapped mine for speed shooting). Watched a few of these vids with Jonathan and thoroughly enjoying
About the mtar-21
As an active service man in IDF
The so called mtar is actually called x-95 by iwi
Still used today the same version you see in the game
Some battalions do received the upgraded version but still the "old" version still being used
Great weapon for CQB missions but also good on effective range of 250 meters in open combat
Show Jonathan Rising Storm 2, and you MUST show the fact that you can adjust a Mosin sight to shoot to up to 1.000m!
I'd love for him to have a look at the guns from Killing Floor 2
Yes
Love it
Now do Metro 2033, next.
Show jonathan the Abzats. A DShk re-chambered and re-bored for shotgun shells. A Heavy Automatic Shotgun.
Looking back, mw 2019 took a lot from this game. Also this game looks so pretty for an older game
And battlefield 1 is gorgeous as well yet overlooked, the revent battlefield series was overlooked despite being great and beautiful
@@gateausalaire1872 Beautiful yes, great? No. 3 types of customization for each gun and only a handful of guns for each subclass. I say this with over 300 hours in bf1.

I've always loved the look of the f2000 cuz of its similarity to the Halo Assault Rifle
It's crazy because halo ce and the gun came out not that far apart. So they made similar looking guns without knowing about one another
Bungie actually almost got sued by FN because the guns look so similar
Forgotten weapon, definition, a firearm that Ian is introducing us to.
Rare, definition, a firearm Johnathan has ever actually seen.
Jonathan reacts to BioShock Infinite’s weapons.
And bioshock
there only like 3 weapons in those games
Let's see some videos of him reviewing various video games depictions of weapons like the AK47, M1 Grand, or M16 throughout the years
That double headshot kill @ 4:20 though!
“I’m not sure if the XM-25 has enough power”
Oh, trust me, it does
I would like to see Jonathan do enter the gungeon, would be pretty funny
I second Enter the Gungeon.
Me too
He NEEDS to see Killing Floor 2. It's filled with gorgeous details, animations, and it does have some interesting homemade stuff
Yes, id love to see him look at some of the killing floor 2 animations and weapons.
Honestly I'm surprised astonished that neither CoD, BF, or any other AAA game besides KF2 has the AF2011-A1 in it.
@@darkholt8376 that gun is overrated as shit in KF2
SG553 is so underloved.
I love how he was saying how the Mare's Leg is a not very good weapon, while I literally got my 1st kill with that.
He's right, I'm just proud of that accomplishment
2:36
Reason for the high bullet drop is that snipers in BF4 have a 15m/s^2 rate of fall, much more than the 9.81m/s^2 in real life.
For balancing purposes, I would assume.
Bioshock franchise! Some really cool, semi-real weapons in those games
Team Fortress 2, Payday 2, L4D2, Red Orchestra/Rising Storm, Rising Storm Vietnam, Killing Floor, Far Cry 2 would be nice.
Yo can we get a part 2 this one was really good and there’s so many weapons in this game
That jam playing in the background never gets old.
As for the QBB - 95 - 1 ( Chinese Type 95 ), check with any of your Canadian friends as well. A small number of civilian versions had been imported there, iirc.
Thank you to Jonathan at The Royal Armouries.
Isn’t it great when you recognise a gamertag when the camera guy kills someone?
Especially when it’s yours?
God I wish some of the older battlefield games got remastered for next gen consoles
You know a gun is rare when the guy who helps run the Royal Armories has NEVER seen the real thing before lol
And I will always appreciate that Jonathan thinks about game balance when some things are not quite as accurate as they could be
Like Ian from ForgottenWeapons, he's the best sort of expert you can hope for in any field. Humble and willing to admit to not knowing things, and also understanding of why certain liberties are taken in media and such.
I honestly hope they have received so many donations. Need places like that and people like this 🙏🏻
I could listen to him all day talk about weapons
Would love to see him doing more BF weapons.
Metro Exodus would make an interesting episode because of their unique make-shift style firearms
Yes we know it's jonathan ferguson, he's practically got his own stans now
He’s back at it again with the reviews, made this day better. Thx Jonathan
Can we all give props to the gamespot employees that grab these clips? They’re always ballin’ man, playing good as hell! Game journos that can play games, insane!
Would love to see Jonathan react to DayZ weapons. Repairing weapons with duct tape/using a bottle as a suppressor or having frequent jams based on the weapons condition
Ooh, he’d have fun with Stalker too.
@Noot Noot Wants Noose Noose certain guns allow you to repair from damaged to worn with duct tape
@Noot Noot Wants Noose Noose ah right, my bad
Rising Storm 2: Vietnam please
it would be awesome if he takes a look at the weapons of the Metro Games series!
That perception of very pronounced bullet drop on snipers is indeed actually happening not just a perception. It’s happening because the devs make the snipers bullets drop at a rate higher than earths gravity in real life. Gravity’s force is equivalent to ~9.81 meters per second, whereas the snipers in bf4 had a drop rate of ~15 meters per second (barring a couple exceptions like the FY-JS which I think had something like 8m/s bullet drop). As well as lower mussel velocity from their real life counterparts.
This is great. I only just started playing BF4 again. Jonathan is great
7:24
Ah yes, the gun that made Appsro paranoid .
I wonder how many people here ordered 'Thorneycroft to SA80'.
Damn, I miss BF4 with a full squad of homies who know how to play in a dope server. The good ol days
The XM25 was an issued weapon in the US Army, until one had a catastrophic malfunction and killed the user. Because the round detonated in the mag, or maybe an out of battery discharge, and it’s a bullpup, it exploded right next to his head and killed him, then got pulled from service.
I'd love 1 or 2 hour videos of Jonathan just talking about ALL the guns.
Have him react to the weapons in the MW(2019) multiplayer that he didn't react to in the campaign video. Have him react to the gunsmith as well!

the Marlin i thought was a lever acton repeater so would be chaberted in something like 45-70?
Out in the rest of the world we don't much _care_ what The ATF says.
@@stickiedmin6508 lol
2:31 For anyone that doesn't know, BF4 actually does this. Bullet drop is way exaggerated, presumably to make the maps feel even larger or to emphasize skill gap. The muzzle velocity of all guns is unrealistically low. For example, a muzzle velocity of ~650m/s is considered very fast in this game, whereas IRL it's normal for a 338 lapua mag bullet to leave the gun at maybe ~900m/s. Secondly, the gravity for bullets is set to 15m/s^2 for all weapons classes except sniper rifles. Snipers have gravity set to normal 9.81m/s^2 with few exceptions, however due to the low muzzle velocity, the bullet drop may still feel exaggerated. Furthermore, if you equip a suppressor, the game also automatically makes you use subsonic ammo, with some exceptions like snipers where the muzzle velocity is set to a little bit above the standard speed of sound at like 370m/s, which is still painfully slow.
The mares leg was always my favorite, but it got me killed and T-Bagged a lot too...
