In my opinion it is only worth leaving Mesh Quality on Ultra for flying really, this guide is aimed at infantry players only. I would say put it on high or ultra if you are primarily a jet or chopper pilot but on low if you are an infantry player :)
I really need the thank you, when i suddenly watched those videos how to become better i realised that i was making so much mistakes(corners,the medic etc.). After I watched your videos I tried to test your tips. It really worked! 4 kills in a row and no death! Thank you very much!
maybe the most random of all but all these small tips are extremely huge on the battlefield. I was aware of all these clues but still being able to watch them recorded by Jack is always a pleasure, keep it up!
Jack i just wanna say that i really appreciate that you used a lot of footage from armored kill. i know that a lot of people like it!!! Great video once again!
I agree with the knife tip. One scenario I've found knife useful is in the zero distance encounters, when I've lost track of where the enemy is in FOV and I mash the melee key and 'catch' the enemy. Knife in BC2 was way better, even taking into account the random rubber knife that we sometimes got mysteriously kitted with.
That spawn protection tip will be useful. Countless times I've spawned on a team mate and tried to get away too quickly only to get myself killed. Thanks for the tips Jack, I'll keep them in mind :)
i've lost count how many rage quits have occurred due to a team mate cocking about trying to get a knife kill instead of just shooting him. nice vid Jack.
If Mesh quality is the one that effects draw distance, it is also a must to turn it up to at least medium for ultra long range sniping. On low, players are invisible past 950m, even spotted.
Got my battlefield 3 today and been playing a little, then i remembered that you got a shit load of battlefield tips and some other videos on your channel, so i took a look and these are really good tips. Gonna use everyone of them :) Keep it up! btw, make more hive bandits !
Can someone please cut that audio clip when Jack says "serious business mode" @ 6:03 and mod it into battlefield when you get a 4 kill streak or something like that. That would be amazing! haha much love Jack and great video!
I used to hate on the knife in BC2 but once you got used to it you could take out entire buildings full of dudes with it. Was basically the primary weapon for agressive recon. I long for the days when I thought the BC2 knife was dodgy, because the BF3 one is just abysmal.
thnx for the last point of info cause every time i spawned on someone in a high danger zone and moved i died and i wondered why the enemies who spawn on them dont but now i know thnx :) also i totally agree on the knifing. it so annoying when u die and ur killcam is ur teamate running for a knife kill!
BF3 Idea: If someone knife takedowns you from the back, then you should always die, but if it happens from the side or the front, there should be like a push time event (Press space etc...) and you can counter knife him back. This may or may not be OP but it sounds pretty cool.
I think it is appropriate to knife tactically if your trying to flank the enemy and come up behind a single guy and you don't want to alert the rest of his team. (And only if you have unsilenced weapons)
You've really found probably almost every tactic that's useful in most situations! Great job, do you have any other tips - are you planning on making an episode six as well?
that last tip was very useful... i always use to hate it when someone spawns on someone and i empty about half my clip into him then he just shoots me and kills me
I was the same way.! I can't even go back to CoD.! I tried to get my CoD friends to try it out but they get trigger happy and get crushed, overwhelmed, and frustrated lmfaoo..
On the xbox, people are always stacking the squad perks and the only way to tell them to change it would be to message them so...the only problem is messaging someone on console takes ages. It pisses me off.
learn to use the knife slash. this is a very underrated tactic that it seems people shy away from because 1) it doesnt kill instantly 2) its too "CoD" like. coming from a Halo background frankly i do whatever works without bias. the knife slash is best used in close quarters situations with a low rate of fire gun while or when you run out of ammo while shooting them and strafing around them. one slash to the face is 50 damage and can save you in situations where your up close to an enemy using
I really hate it when people turn their brightness up. Especially on dark maps. what's the point of night when theyre seeing day? Just takes some fun out of it.
Why on earth did I play cod for so long!! Every copy been traded. Bf3 is by far the better game. From being a cod fan myself I can only think people who diss bf3 haven't played it, or it's to complicated for them :)
every time i get shot after i knifed someone, i say the same line over and over again, worth it!, playing the objective is fun, but when i can i will go for the knife
but i your near on the objective and you don't want to get spotted on the minemap and if you don't have a supressed weapon, you should go for the knife kill
It works fine, but the blackscreen is longer on console. ( less power etc. ) You are already standing on the battlefield, but the console/game is still loading the enviroment. With a good PC the blackscreen is way shorter.
Explanation: Go for the head. Yeah, everyone has their moments like "I UNLOADED A FULL CLIP ON THAT GUY WTF" just aim for the head an control your bursts ect. ;)
I fail at the DO NOT GO FOR THE DOGTAGS part. Albeit I haven't played in 6 months, my knife kills was my second most used weapon. I get greedy :( It's too tempting lol
say a weapon with 800-100 Rpms and you're firing from the hip and using circular movement to avoid his shots with a 620-700 rpm weapon.2 bullets then slash to the face
Finally switched back over to PC gaming after years of console oppression. I did so after I stumbled across JackFrags' videos. After watching many of your gameplay videos I have to say my first day of PC battlefield was starting out pretty well. I knew the maps pretty well already and my tactics are pretty decent with +KD but I still need improvement. My noob issues still result in me opening the chat box and getting stuck in place without knowing how to close it and continue. [facepalm]
I'm new to PC but have been playing Battlefield 3 since beta on Xbox. I only have one question. Why aren't there much servers with players in them? No matter how I filter them I only get three servers with players in them, the rest are empty.
i am a fan of both but BF3 is way more realistic than cod in most ways and i used to not like BF3 till my best bro showed it to me. at the end of your comment is what i tell people who haven't given Battlefield a try :)
Still doesn't work on people who actually pay attention to the mini-map since they will see their teammate has died. Yeah it doesn't put you on the mini-map but you've still given yourself away to good players.
That's because, being people, they think that literally everybody except them are 4-year-old CoD junkies that cuss when their parents aren't around, so they have no sense of politeness or awareness to the fact that they might do better if they work with teammates.

I love these Betterfield episodes Jack!

nice vid Jack.
"youve thrown your shoes at the guy, your belts come off, your naked, youve picked up the neighbours cat... laughed for like an hour!!!! priceless!!!

Great video again Jack. Learnt a bit and hopefully getting better. Your hip firing at close range has helped.

I found Jackfrags because of Anderz el. I do not regret it one bit.
Keep it up Jack!!

Thanks Jack, especially for the last tip! Seriously, I've broken my head about that

Thanks jack loved this vid and keep up the dayz with frankie you guys are real men : )

Thank you Jack for all this usefuell tipps.
I hope there will come more. ;)
Greatings from Germany.

God ive followed jack for a while...
I LOVE THE FRAGS!
You've really found probably almost every tactic that's useful in most situations!
Great job, do you have any other tips - are you planning on making an episode six as well?
Please make more episodes this really healps! :)
Knife part is so true. I just rage when I see a team mate jumping behind a enemy in my killcam.
thanks for the spawn protection tip ... that was 1 i did not know and had been wondering about :D
that last tip was very useful... i always use to hate it when someone spawns on someone and i empty about half my clip into him then he just shoots me and kills me
They're really helpful
Mesh, according the Nvidia, does not hurt FPS so there is no reason to turn it low.
Your UMP clip was hilarious!
great tips as usualy.. i miss so much the bbfc2 knife.. 1 rapid click.., 1 second... 1 dead
very good tips indeed jack ! love it.
Aaah the UMP! My favorite weapon! Make a video with that one Jack!
The destruction is very useful on rush, like grand bazar and seine crossing
2:58 OMG cat meow made my day :'D
These are things that every player should know. If people do follow these, the game will be much better. Good video. :-)
I wouldn't recommend turning Mesh Quality to low. I'd keep it at High, or Ultra if you're flying.
I could have sworn you had 100k subs but only close to 45k.You deserve the 100k+ though, thanks for all the tips.
Thank you so much for this tip. I found this very helpful.
Same story with me.. im playing BF3 now but im not quiting COD. I play bouth of them and im happy!))
check the boxes for game size 24 32 48 62 and free slots 1-5 6-10
that should give you better results when looking for a server
yay new betterfield :D
nice one jack
1.Find Lone Sniper/Camper.
2.Knife.
3.Teabag.
4.Kempin Fegget dealt with.
It's mostly for competitive gaming when you want that slight advantage of having a higher framerate.
I'M LOVIN' IT
I was the same way.! I can't even go back to CoD.! I tried to get my CoD friends to try it out but they get trigger happy and get crushed, overwhelmed, and frustrated lmfaoo..
MOAR!
I would say that over half of my 510 knife kills are from knife only servers, I've only got a single melee medal from ~390 hours of gameplay.
On the xbox, people are always stacking the squad perks and the only way to tell them to change it would be to message them so...the only problem is messaging someone on console takes ages. It pisses me off.
Hey JackFrags, it's Destruction 3.0 now.
learn to use the knife slash. this is a very underrated tactic that it seems people shy away from because 1) it doesnt kill instantly 2) its too "CoD" like. coming from a Halo background frankly i do whatever works without bias. the knife slash is best used in close quarters situations with a low rate of fire gun while or when you run out of ammo while shooting them and strafing around them. one slash to the face is 50 damage and can save you in situations where your up close to an enemy using
I want another films like run, free cake and gary! They were amazing. PLEASE KEEP DOING THEM. Thumbs up here pleasee!!
good stuff; need more of it!
sub earned!
1:50 it is impossible to switch a kit then drop a ammo pack and change kit again on noshar canals xD
well also halo has melee that is pretty similar to a knife in BF3, it does damage but doesn't always kill.
I really hate it when people turn their brightness up. Especially on dark maps. what's the point of night when theyre seeing day? Just takes some fun out of it.
Last tip was very useful lol thanks
i rarely shoot people when im behind and always go knife jo matter how many people there is. i have over 1100 knife kills and counting
I have noticed that only the beige colored buildings will throw rubble. The blueish ones don't. Just what I see on console.
Good stuff - will try the video & network settings. BTW, what is a moppet?
Why on earth did I play cod for so long!! Every copy been traded. Bf3 is by far the better game. From being a cod fan myself I can only think people who diss bf3 haven't played it, or it's to complicated for them :)
Thanks man. didnt know you lose spwn protection when you move :d
every time i get shot after i knifed someone, i say the same line over and over again, worth it!, playing the objective is fun, but when i can i will go for the knife
Only three if I select rush. If I don't choose a game mode there is more, but I'd like to play rush.
I watched all episodes thank you very much, i did not know many things.
jack, jack, jack, you forgot about destroy walls with medic kit, 3 throws on a wall and it get destroyed, i didn't try but i saw in a video
but i your near on the objective and you don't want to get spotted on the minemap and if you don't have a supressed weapon, you should go for the knife kill
It works fine, but the blackscreen is longer on console. ( less power etc. ) You are already standing on the battlefield, but the console/game is still loading the enviroment. With a good PC the blackscreen is way shorter.

good st00f ty jack
Jack do u remember TheChillaVanilla from ur last livestream?
i say only: "Chilla Vanilla trouble in the neighbourhood"
I fail at the DO NOT GO FOR THE DOGTAGS part. Albeit I haven't played in 6 months, my knife kills was my second most used weapon. I get greedy :( It's too tempting lol
say a weapon with 800-100 Rpms and you're firing from the hip and using circular movement to avoid his shots with a 620-700 rpm weapon.2 bullets then slash to the face

TUGS, TUGS, TUGS! Place them!
All hail battlefield 3! CoD has just been the same thing over and over again!
Great tips
I realy enjoyed this episod. Wating for your new betterfield episods.
I big fan of yours.
/Mr-DangeR7
BF3 players should ALL watch this
God damn it where are the new episodes?
great vid i wanted to know what was the matter with the spawn protection!
i do like to knife a fair bit, or try, i like to flank but i play it smart where i can, killing those i cant make it to etc etc
I'm new to PC but have been playing Battlefield 3 since beta on Xbox. I only have one question. Why aren't there much servers with players in them? No matter how I filter them I only get three servers with players in them, the rest are empty.
I'm just saying it's a lot more effective than spraying him with bullets and the whole team turning around, good or bad players alike.
get ultra for mesh option(increases spot distance)
Awesome
hahaha no probleme jack ;)
-TheChillaVanilla
this series is awesome
maybe some people will change their perks now ;)
i use it on ps3 when i spawn on a squadmate i know is gettin shot, it doesnt last ages so you do still have to react fast
i am a fan of both but BF3 is way more realistic than cod in most ways and i used to not like BF3 till my best bro showed it to me. at the end of your comment is what i tell people who haven't given Battlefield a try :)
DUN DUN DUUUUUN! Yes.
Are you going to continue these for Bf4 ?
Jack can you do dome for bf4. I just watched all of these ones and I'm sure they will help
Need these 4 bf4
Still doesn't work on people who actually pay attention to the mini-map since they will see their teammate has died. Yeah it doesn't put you on the mini-map but you've still given yourself away to good players.
That's because, being people, they think that literally everybody except them are 4-year-old CoD junkies that cuss when their parents aren't around, so they have no sense of politeness or awareness to the fact that they might do better if they work with teammates.
Woo!
Make series about camo pls
Do you have a key binding layout that you would recommend jack?
I guess you don't show up on the minimap when knifing?
