New Gameplay Style.. Submit your videos!

Brand new podcast with Shodredux!

We're going to be working on perfecting our commentary style in the time left before the Battlefield 3 release. If you think you have some skills to show off, please record a full match and upload it to YouTube. You can use trial versions with watermarks, it doesn't bother us.. we just want the practice, so don't be shy in sharing your gameplay!

Also, for those players asking me about making their own videos, this is a great chance to give commentary a shot.. as a lot of weapons and content has already been covered in the game so far, and depending on how popular Esports is in BF3, they'll need people with experience to properly share some epic matches that are sure to take place.

Check out this link if you want to know how to submit a video..

If you have any tips or comments on improving our videos, please feel free to share. We want what you want.. so any help you can provide will be appreciated.

9A-91 Gameplay Commentary Video

A brand new kind of video is uploading as I type.. this new 9A-91 review is going to be done as a full match with no editing. I picked a match where there really wasn't too much stomping going around, and I tried to stay away from the action so I could get into the fundamentals of using a SMG in general.

I still think shotguns are more suited for Sharqi, but I wanted to show how well a simple engineer can do given his quite large disadvantages in terms of skills, when playing an infantry map. I love using this gun on Basra or Karkand, but I do miss the ability to shoot my own AV mines with my old SPAS-15.

Let me know what you thought of my commentary, I'm trying to get some practice in for when esports takes hold in Battlefield 3.

Also, would you guys/girls prefer to see slow motion replays during a match like that, so I can maybe go more in depth into some of the mechanics at work?

Hope you enjoy the video!

VSS Vintorez Extended Review

What can be said about the VSS Vintorez that I haven't already mentioned in my video? Well for starters, this gun is a gamechanger.

Why?

Is it better than an assault rifle like a Scar-L or M16?

Well no.. but its pretty close, and you have to remember that recons have a huge advantage over other classes with the variety of secondary weapons available like claymores, motion sensors, and even additional clips for their rifles.

So keeping that in mind, the rifle itself is wonderful.. but not perfect. You'll still get shot down by enemies who have you scoped quicker, and you'll still have to have a good reaction time if caught in close quarters, like you would with any other sniper rifle.

In the smaller maps like Sharqi, you can even combo up a level 4 motion sensor and try straight sniping some of the close packed pathways and alleys. It fires fast enough that if you back into a corner and just wait, you can almost guarantee a killshot before any ambushed enemies have time to react and draw their weapon.



[Video Transcript]

Hey Battlefield Fans,

BadlyBurned here for a brand new weapon review for the 1st of the 4 new guns dished out by EA for Battlefield Play4Free. 

To start, I'll be covering the VSS for the recon class, which has.. and I quote:
"SMG-like characteristics.."

I could not put it better myself.. this rifle, out of all the available sniper rifles in my opinion.. gives you the greatest supression fire ability when travelling with a group or dealing with large waves of incoming enemies.

Its "SMG-like" qualities are seen mostly close to medium range.. at this distance you can easily deal increbible damage by either firing from the hip, or quickscoping.. as this gun is very fast to draw and has an incredible rate of fire.

But do remember.. if you plan on using it to snipe, or take on any enemies over long ranges.. you have to get good at slow tapping your trigger so that you can deal with the slightly shaky recoil, just like you would with most other assault rifles.

One really good thing I noticed about the VSS is how you can usually carry it around in almost any situation. If your sick of having to swap out between your pistol or another dual primary when playing the maps like Sharqi.. then this gun is meant for you, as it does well regardless of the map size.. and its scope range fits perfectly for some of those tight spaces.

Also, with this gun you really can do quite well on the move as long as have a good reaction time.. you'll still sometimes be countered by other quicker draw weaponary, but I'd still give it a try if you are a fan of the semi auto sniper rifles, as its playstyle mostly reflects these weapons.
Its one drawback is its low ammo count.. but I think this was on purpose to encourage recons to actually travel in a group and get resupplied by teammates..

Regardless.. I Love this gun.. The VSS is a great changeup for those recon bored of sitting back and sniping long range, thats all for this weapon review.. but please, vote in the comments by letting me know which of the 3 remaining guns you'd like to see next.

or drop me a shoutout at my new blog which I'll be updating with every video I release from now on... at badlyburned.blogspot.com. This is BadlyBurned.. and before I go.. special thanks to AmmoBFP4F for making me this awesome intro

First Battlefield Blog Post!

Hey Battlefield Fans!

BadlyBurned here for a new blog! I just couldn't keep up with that Facebook page, none of the features are suited for doing the kind of question and answer content I was looking to add on. And at least this way players who have English as a second language can take transcripts from each video and use them to translate whatever they need (which is a common request from a lot of players)

You'll also see some addition stuff in here, since I'll be able to give links, add pictures, and do all sorts of other stuff to improve on my content.

I hope you'll enjoy what I have planned coming very soon.. and I hope you'll enjoy this podcast I have coming out tonight, which I did with new buddies in the DOS clan.

A little surprise bonus for those of you who came here to read my blog as well.. in this podcast you'll hear me talk about something that I might be working on soon.. like very very soon... I won't spoil it yet, but stay tuned to learn more about it in the near future.
