How To Be A Better Player | Battlefield 5 Newbie Guide 

Who’s watching this in 2024?

You have to recognize a threat Me: runs out of bounds to destroy a tank with an epic and extremely unnecessary kamikaze

"Tanks are extremely powerful for how little it takes to learn them" very different on console. Everyone running support and assault means they always die in literal seconds.

"Not everybody wants to play the Sniper class..." Are we playing the same game here?

number 1. don't play medic unless you wanna save lives instead of taking them

Aside from the BS they pulled on this game , its actually really good

I feel like I'm the only one who genuinely enjoy this game

How to be a better player from a “veteran” Battlefield player: -PTFO -Play to your strengths (If you’re an experienced player: play certain classes for certain tactics or situations.) -Help other players (Give ammo, give meds, revive players, give orders for your squad) -Coordinate with squad and team -Understand the game for what it it (not a casual shooter, if you think it is, there’s probably a reason for why you keep dying or losing. -Utilize Vehicles (mobile/stationary) and gadgets when needed, and tactically. Lastly, play with your friends. Playing the game how it’s meant to be played isn’t “Try-Harding”. Battlefield isn’t exactly a casual shooter, it’s tactical. You can’t take on a team of 32 players or so by yourself. In my opinion playing with a full squad of your friends in a Battlefield game is an experience like none other.

I don’t know how he sees 95% of the enemies he’s killing 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

My personal tips -When you wanna move around the map, stay around the edge of the map because you'll have less angle to worry about (8-3) -If play domination, cap only A and C and leave B to enemy. They will be forced to spawn in B area as long as your team doesn't get too close to point B.

How To Be A Better Player by LevelCapGaming: "Basically just headshot everyone like I do and you'll do good"

I stay out of planes so that better players can be more effective in them. Can't wait to mess around with planes in the test range, until I can actually be effective in game.

Looks like levelcap is starting all over again

I have been playing a bit of this game and despite the political drama it's a really fun game I don't know the maps or the patterns yet but I can anticipate having a blast with it

"I can't tell you how many times I have seen players run away from a flag before it is capped"** **oblivious to his own play style.

I watched this video almost everyday(sometimes 2-3 times a day) for 6 days about year and a half ago. The depth that you go into as far as gun play and prioritization has made me the player I am today.

I legit have been having so much fun with this game. The kills, smoothness on pc, playing with friends is a blast. Just a great time.

Another tip. If you are a GC. In objective based games such as breakthrough etc, where you are required to push objectives. Get in a half track or tank. Sit close enough to capture points. (For half track jump into gunner seat). From there hold defends off their objectives by suppressing them with fire. The overall pure of this isn't just to add armour support. You will become a convenient spawn beacon for your whole team. Teammates from any squad can spawn on you right next to objective. A strategy sadly I never see implemented.

I was so mad at recons siting on the map edge when I started playing

The last battlefield I played was battlefield 3 and I remember how amazing your guides were back then and how much they helped me. I just bought Battlefield V and the first thing I did was look you up and here you are, still producing great content and guides after 7 years

See I like the fact that you made this guide but I dont like how you brushed over some crucial points...Squad reviving? Like thats pretty crucial...same with what you said about the medic "well you arent too worried about tickets when defending on breakthrough" And while thats true it misses the point completely....the medic is invaluable in any gamemode because they have the power to keep a fighting force at full strength. As a medic you should put reviving above getting kills. perhaps those 5 guys you just revived means youve taken majority control of the last capture point and they fight to push the enemy off. Same with squad reviving, invaluable tool; a squad can now have exceptional firepower and not at the expense of survival. Knowing your specific role as a player and performing it is the most important part of battlefield. Your KD was 0-11 but you revived 30 people as a medic? Thats incredible... Being a better battlefield player is doing all the things you would want other players to do for you; Its resupplying teammates, its using the ping marker, and its coming to revive your downed squad mate, attacking the objective your squad leader has indicated. You're right the game isnt a shining beacon of teammate and cooperation but that's simply down to the community. Since Battlefield 2 and into battlefield 3 the community has always been the worst part of this game, but all the elements are there now for some real team play which will lead to victory which should be your ultimate goal in each match anyway. Id love to watch a game that the devs play so they can show you how they operate and everything works.

The intro clip just shows you why we can't have PC cross play with console. Edit: my comment never implied there was a debate pushing for crossplay, but rather to show the differences in gameplay between consoles and PC.

2 years in this game and I didn't figure it out yet. Haven't found a comprehensive tutorial yet. Saw you in the intro sniping and your aim it's beyond my understanding.

Thank u man, I jumped into this battlefield (last one I played was 4) and it was sooo much different of the rest.. this helped me understand how to play much more in depth.

great guide for noobs. It wasn't until I played a few hours of Fjell over and over before it started to dawn on me that I absolutely love this game. It's giving me BF3 vibes in terms of aircraft combat, and the ground combat without spotting was INCREDIBLY hard to get used to, but now that I'm used to it I never want to go back. Can't wait for those bug fixes on Dec 4th tho

How to be a better battlefield player: Step 1: Stop sniping Complete

Very good advice Charlie. I'm a relative bf noob (playing just over a year, 500 hrs in bf1, around measly 15 in bf4). All your points are super valid, specially the one about getting outside ones comfort zone, squad play and map overview with tactical awareness in mind. 10/10 would defo levelcap again.

I usually play as a medic, and now ive learned a few things off this video. Such as dropping a smoke before running in and saving someone and try to stay close quarters with enemies and don't try to shoot when they are away from me

How to choose the best class for the situation in BFV. Step 1: Choose assault class. That's it.

Some good tips, the tanks in particular. So many players think that tanks can go solo but they really do need support to be at their best. This applies to the nearby infantry not just the tanker. I think it might help the airplane usage if they added a more arcadey control scheme OPTION that can be toggled on the fly. We go from mindless input requirements as infantry to slightly less mindless controls for tanks to "do all the things at once" controls for airplanes (comparatively anyway). Most people just want to play the game, not spend hours learning how to fly in a shooter. They would still be outclasses by good pilots of course but at least that would have an option to actually stay in the air for a bit. And last, I think you missed out on tips for getting around the map as infantry. Things like checking your corners real quick before sprinting across a wide road or bridge, or how better to see enemies that may be hiding. Things that helped even in BF3 and BF4 that still had spotting spam. Understanding the flow of the map certainly helps, as you mentioned.

Great video, im a long time battfeild fan and recently went back to it after being sucked into the new Modern warfare. This video help revamp my mind set to kick ass on the battle field 👌

Great video! I think playing the objective is the most important, no matter how often you die. I saw this dude going 0-13 and still be second on the scoreboard because he was just going for flags all the time.

Revives are definitely a huge gripe for me, when playing with randoms. Either they don't revive or they don't revive strategically and thus turn one death into three. Gotta know when to revive and when not to revive. So when it comes to playing with randoms, I tend to lone wolf it with the M3 Infrared, so that I am far less reliant on others.

Step 1: equip KE7 Step 2: thats it. Nerf it

Thanks man! I'll be waiting for you air pilot game tips! Great video and information.

I think this is the best tutorial i have seen on anything by far

the drama on this game is ridiculous. i have been playing the game and i’m having a blast it’s really fun. gotta fix those bugs and glitches tho.

Thank you level-cap for the tips, Just got BF5 today and these are very helpful

This is why I love levelcap. This guy made me a decent player. Hats off to this guy.

9:29 Heresy! For real though, when I play medic in a heavy gun fight where there’s a butt ton of downed teammates (let’s say maybe 5 or so) it makes my stress go through the roof. Why? I don’t wanna be the “oblivious un-reviving medic” that both I and my teammates hate but I know I can’t revive all of them and might die myself going for the revive. Makes me die a little inside each time...

“Bipoded machine gunners” “bombers overhead” that’s me! Haha

Why do panzerfausts hit vehicles like a freight train but you almost have to directly hit an infantry to kill them

Always good to hear Perspective

Hey levelCap just want to say I appreciate this video, I have been playing BF since battlefield 2, this was a helpful video.

5:41 you killed a man of culture.

Need a little more info on Tanks ! Getting into the turrant gun is suicidal !! And the front gunner needs to have the tank facing the action or it is pointless as you are just a passenger riding around. Do a video for the proper way to drive the tank so the gunner positions are useful.

Your above boils down to this: think about what you're doing while you're playing. Great advice!

This video probably just helped me a lot in the long run even with different games. Good advice bro

I've played every battlefield since bf2 (apart from hardline)...and for some reason I'm terrible at bfv. I seem to be able to snipe ok but I keep getting killed by people I never see.

7:20 first time that I saw someone having a bayonet on rifle in Battlefield V

Communication with your squad is important, Team work makes the dream work!

Great video as usual, keep the introduction to bf5 videos coming

Level cap: Go join a Hamada map Second later: Select a shotgun class.

1. Buy the game 2. Play the game 3. Don't go outside and play the game 4. Lose your job,okay the game 5. No going to toilet allowed, use shit buckets,keep playing the game.

Great video! I’ve been playing BF5 for a few weeks now and I just haven’t been playing as well as I did in BF1 not that I was the best ever but I would rank well in the scoreboards with mostly using Recon class. Definitely going to put some of these tips to use 👍🏻

Very informative, thanks for the video! Been playing for a couple days and I love it. This video has helped a lot of things make more sense. My only confusion - redeploy screen. 😂

Tanks in this game are made of tinfoil... I’m more scared of bombers than I am of actual tanks. Before in the older games they were quite a terrifying presence and you needed a team to eliminate them quickly. Now you can take a tank down in less than 30 seconds. They should lower the damage on the rockets and just give them more ammo.

I just played my first game today. Breakthrough on the Pacific front. I was completely lost. I probably should've started with conquest or TDM

I’m not a BF noob, but it can be good to hear potentially different thoughts around how best to play or approach things.

Another good tip is to know when to quick respawn and when to hold out. Mainly what I mean by this is if you know you're in an overrun area or someone is camping your body, just quick respawn. A lot of new medics will just rush in and die trying to get you.

how often is he gonna reuse that mg42 clip???

My tip to be a better battlefield V player: *Smoke & Rush B*

I'd say my skill at this battlefield is substantially lower than previous in the series. I also have way less time to play. I'll try these tips out. Thanks!

Good tips throughout from a veteran BF gamer going all the way back to BF1942 and Desert Combat. One very important tactical tip is to know your teammates classes. If you are the only one alive and they are all down, revive the medic(s) FIRST. They can revive the team mates while YOU provide covering fire. Crazy_One F8S FaTe's Minions Est 1998

I'll be honest, in my current experience, tanks are a joke. I'm never afraid to rush one and nuke it with panzerfausts and an AT bundle grenade. I've only ever run across 1 or 2 good tank drivers, and they basically spend their games sitting far, far back, not really doing much other than pounding shells into cap zones or common choke points. It does make sense though, in real life, the last thing you want to do is take a tank into close quarters combat without infantry support.

This was in my recommended. RU-vid is calling me a noob wtf

Bro the first clip was insane

I would give 2 tips for campers: 1. Use the lean option because you can hide really fast when you are out of ammo or someone is shooting at you. It's a lot fast than crawling to the cover. You also get a bipod bonus which helps you with recoil. 2.Take cover in places where you can engage enemy that engages you. Just so you can't get shot from side.

I think a few tips for players only familiar with BF1 coming to BFV would could help them adapt to the new skill ceiling. It may be a bit nuanced but could help tune out some of the bad habits developed from BF1.

This video should play as soon as you click on multiplayer in game. Great video

I remember watching a video like this years ago. Probably for Battlefield 3 or 4. Seeing such similar videos again makes me consider buying Battlefield V.

I can't believe i asked for the practice range, and it actually will be in this game. So happy!

It's a great game but I've noticed there bullets kill you but your bullets don't kill them.

Just got My own M30 Drilling *DABS*

Try your best no matter what to be better/best player!!

Great video man! Thanks. I'm a long time COD player, very entrenched in that style of shooter, but just couldn't bring myself to play COD Black Ops 4! Battlefield V is fun, but indeed VERY different and very frustrating. You video helps...

As you said before, the medic class needs work.

i wonder how many players will still play this game after they revoke their Origin Access with the end of the month.

I’m a new player finally after 6 years of playing COD. It’s really challenging but I think I like it more

Nice vid man keep up the great work

Tanks extremely powerful? I don’t know what Battlefield you are playing, but when a single Assualt player feels brave enough to rush a tank by themselves, that’s not exactly extremely powerful...

I need a setting guide, cuz my frames are shit and the lag is bad

Thanks for sharing. Loved it

More players needs to watch this. I mean team mates are really oblivious. They dont even know that even a non medic can revive when in clear. I understood all this all on my own in under 15 hours of game play. A team that sticks and plays together wins.

My first battlefield game was bf3 and i used to average a 0.5 kd. Now i average a 2-5 kd

I love levelcap, but really most of his guide videos don't teach you many important things. Usually they just talk about really basic things that people should and will know after playing for a while. Things like tanks are effective against infantry but you are not a one man army just make s me think duh....

Quality content. You should update this video for the half price Xmas noobs and people that need reminders (like me)

I rember bf1 being a really good game and with most games being trash atm i have decided to give this game a shot and will be playing it tonight

I really dont like that some classes are better on certain maps than others. In BF3 and BF4 you could shred on any map with any class.

Here before sir creeps a lot xD

Here's a tip go to settings, set your kill feed to nearby only that way when you see team mates dying you know it's close take a glance at your map.

Built a gaming pc earlier this year. Always played bf on console. Tryed bf3 and bfv on pc ultra setting man is it awesome. Had alot of fun. But not as good on pc need to learn the aiming l. But I was improving very quick

Best battlefield game ever!

Always click like before watching!

It might be the first time i've seen level revive let alone 3 guys back to back:D

Awesome video, thanks for the tips.

Step 1: ask dice to make history accurate

"Keeps your team alive" he says..keeps running past the teamate still on the ground asking for help lmao... Same old Levelcap. No matter what game it is.

I find it extremely irritating that the enemies can spawn directly on to the capture point that is being taken by my squad. I’ve started to realize why everyone sits in a corner on the objectives. If you don’t, you’ll most likely get shot in the back by an enemy who just spawned. Thanks for that DICE. Nice tutorial LevelCap.

I'm finding medic a thankless class in BF5 because of the squad mechanics and the time to heal animation. If you see someone downed in the open the shooter is either part of a squad and they are heading your way on mass or it's a sniper who will be watching for some fool trying a revive. In either case in previous BF games you could revive on the run, now you are exposed for too long with a shoot me sticker stuck front and back. Even if you kill the shooter there is a whole squad around the corner. The only advantage is self heal.
