"the mg42 is ridiculous" - Allied forces storming the beaches of Normandy, 1944

That small detail in bf is amazing , when you shoot from while standing on wooden floor you get an additional sound of empty cartridge hitting it.

Questions as a gaming creator: how many hours do you play per week, and how many hours of those are recorded with some specific content in mind? And how many more hours per week are dedicated to behind the scenes work, with editing and business inquiries etc

They did. When Market Garden started, some landings were peaceful, others were swarmed with 37mm, or just a bunch of soldiers, some used the 42.

The MG24 was broken and ridiculous in real life too, so I think it's ok

Nothing is more satisfying than the MG42 in Hell Let Loose. Catching an entire squad trying to cross a field, mounting up, and just erasing them all with a couple bursts is one of the most satisfying things in gaming.

Jack: Uses suicide weapon Also Jack: I didn’t think that could kill you

I just started using the MG42 with the 1200rpm in this game and it’s crazy. Completely different playstyle because you burn through the 50 rounds you have in just 2 seconds, but it absolutely melts infantry at mid range

this gun is such a iconic part of history and cant wait to hold one irl when I go up to my friends house next year cause he has a fully functional transferable mg42 in REALLY good condition

i really miss the building aspect that BF 5 had. Loved building those sandbag walls.

Small detail, when the spent shells melted into the snow when Jack was prone. Very cool.

KZfaq Question: When first starting a channel, what have you seen that most affects whether your channel takes off or not? Like with viewers, subscribers ,etc. Especially when it comes to gaming, it is a bit of a diluted area of the internet where I can imagine its tough to become popular enough to really make it worth doing. I'm sure this applies to any other topic for content creation, but its a question I've had. Thanks Jack! I've been watching you for a decade and love the effort you put into your vids, and the general wholesomeness of your content.

I miss playing the game. Wish they bring all the Map Together from all the Battlefield games.

Loved the Mg42 in BFV. Pissed people off to no end 😅

Jack love all the vid u do. I'd like to see more long play through of games. Been going way back to watch them and I really enjoy them. Keep them coming and thank you for all the years of work

One of my favorite battlefield content creators! Keep it up Jack!❤️🤟🏼

yes the mg42 was used as an anti aircraft weapon too. In bf5 it actually has an anti aircraft sight that you can equip

Still get on BF1 and BFV every once in awhile and it's always good fun

Closing in on 4 million subs...Unreal, man. Thanks for all of the great content all of these years!

I was thoroughly enjoying your arrrrgggghhh type shouts for some of the kills with the MG24 . Keep up the awesome content

There comes a time in your life where watching people play video games is almost more fun than actually playing them. Trust me - as you get older - this will make more sense - so I thank you for your content :) my question re. KZfaq would be - how is the upcoming cost of living crisis going to affect your business model as obvious high end rigs I assume use up more power.

Jack, try the reduced mag/belt size for the increased fire rate. You have to be a bit more careful planning reloads but it’s MENTAL how fast it shoots!

After seeing these last videos of BF1 and BF5 you have made, they really made me thought that those games were very good, comparing to BF2042... They look worlds appart. All the detail DICE put on BF5, and all the atmosphere they created for BF1... It really is amazing. Keep up your awesome work :)

Great video as always Jack. Almost 4 million subscribers. That's awesome.

Hey jack been subbed since bf3 days. Great video as always! And for the question, what is your creative process for making thumbnails? I’d say it gets people views the most, so what do you think makes them stand out?

huge fan of u jack, you're the one who got me into battlefield so I appreciate that. For the question i've always wondered in your experience what is the average amount of income per KZfaq view? when googling it always gives a different answer so I would just like too know from your experience I guess? thanks.

Love the content!!! You should do another one of these but with the browning!!!! So much fun!!!

And then there’s the PPSh in SE5 with a 71 Drum Magazine and a Lightened Bolt… 1236 rpm on the fire rate! Love the content you make and I can’t wait to see more! Keep up the amazing work and commentary!

It’s called a barrel, not a rod, Jack 😂 love your content, keep it up! Miss the long live vids!

Hi Jack, love to see more BFV on the channel. Diversifying content could be the rise or fall of a channel. It could be different games, different genres, or even type of content like voiceover, live commentary or streaming. You streamed a lot a while back. Has it helped growing your channel in any way? On that note, why did you stop streaming?

The sweatlord is back! That was one of my favorite videos you've done.

Love your BFV vids, would like to see you do a themed video:)

You should see it in Hell Let Loose. Thing is a monster.

Hi Jack! My question is in regards to video editing software. Every time I look up comparisons and recommendations for video editing software you always see tons of conflicting opinions on the "best" software. I know that each one has its strengths but whats a good beginner software for someone who wants to make commentary style gameplay videos such as yourself! You've probably been asked this alot but honestly the amount of different answers i've gotten is staggering and it makes picking one impossible. Thanks!

Back to classic Jack, playing a BF game and he's having some fun. You love to see it.

"It takes out the rod and replaces it" ....That would be the barrel Jack 😂 good stuff man.

Hey Jack, I've been a long time viewer and absolutely love Battlefield. Your videos have kept me so entertained over the years and now that I've started my own channel it'd be awesome to get tips from someone as experienced as yourself. When I started my channel I wasn't sure the direction I wanted to go, it took off rather suddenly and I am incredibly grateful for the viewership I now have however I would like to start branching out to other games. Do you have any tips on ways to make these videos more appealing to my current viewers while still exposing the channel to newer audiences? P.S. My name is also Jack and thank you again for all the great videos over the years! :)

You can adjust the weapon skills to do more aircraft damage :-)

Ah i love my morning jackfrags routine. Always such a nice start to the day…. Thanks Jack

Yes to more BF V, perhaps gameplay on the beautiful map Arras with the M30. I know you did videos of the map when the game was released, but would be good to see you back playing it again!

The lunge mine can still kill you. It will generally only do this if your health is at Critical, 15 and below roughly.

Such amazing graphics this game has..

Great video! Love to see more BFV content.

Love the battlefield variety Jack!

Love some BF5 content! That game is so good! Also, noticed the spent cartridges disappearing in the snow - they would have, as they'd be warm and melt into it. And if my remember my army basic training correctly, the same reason you'd always put the overheated barrel into its case, otherwise you'd lose it

9 seconds ago? im too fast for this

Thanks for highlighting the great features a battlefield game should have!!

Underated game. Gunplay, music, graphics all awesone. The atmosphere and WWIi vibes are great. Still very immersive. Maybe not like bf1 but still very good. Map design is also good. Fortification is a cool factor. The animations and attention to detail is top notch. Bfv got me back on bf and Ive been grinding the all since. Bf1-4 and 2042. If was younger and had a good concept I would have love to be a streamer. I studied in cinema. Unlike others you are a joy to listen to. Always on the positive side of things. You put a smile on peoples faces and that’s so refreshing. That’s why your Succesful. Keep it up

During the time that this came out, all of my friends, and others I knew who had the game hated it, and all said that it was where Dice started allowing BF to fall downhill. But I actually rather _really_ enjoyed BFV. I preferred it more then BF1, but maybe that’s just me.

I’m curious what your day to day looks like. How long you spend making content, editing, and how in depth you plan out things to maximize algorithmic engagement. Of course I think everyone is also interested in how good of a living you make doing it :) Edit: also for content creation in general do people like you and stodeh just spend hours leveling everything in multiplayer for games like warzone just so you are ready or does it just happen as you go?

The animation is the guns barrel being changed :-) sick vid ❤️

Jack spraying like a mad man, also Jack "I feel like I've made a lot of noise there"

The movement in bfv is amazing, so much better than 2042.

Hey Jack, my question I have is what is a stable amount of views to have each video to be able to sustain yourself just off KZfaq?

i like the way they did specialists in this game. the normal battlefield class system but cosmetic characters that bring the game more lore and life. it would be cool to see them come back like how siege does it where not only do you get the character but you also get a few gadget skins that match who they are and their personality

One of my Most Definite favorite LMGs Definitely liked the Overheated Barrel replace animation right there

you should make this a thing! very occasionally where you come back to bf5 and use the mg42 after ages.

Hi Jack - KZfaq question: What qualifies a creator to get a yt rep/direct contact/handler (I’ve heard these people be called many things). Also what is the nature of their role? Why do they exist and what are the relationships like between creators and reps? Thanks

The mg42 was mounted on a lot of bombers and strike aircraft, along with the 34. It was pretty op

Hallo JackFrags... I started watching you when you were playing Battlefield 5 and trying out all the weapons and maps. Now i am glad you play this absolutely good game again. I want to give you an idea about a video. Can you make a video with your story through KZfaq. Like give us a commentary from the beginning of yours in KZfaq to the present. I would like to see a video like that as much as i want to see more videos of BFV from you!

Question: Do you still enjoy gaming in your free time? Are you playing the same games for content or is it like a cook, when he comes home he only eats cereals and fast food. I also really enjoyed the other games that you post on this channel just because of you and your voice. It's just good content no matter what you post man, maybe it would be fun to do a horror game or something like that on here, Darkwood is fantastic and i think everyone should try that game regardless of content and such.

Did you know in order for the allies to win at d-day god had to nerf the mg 42 because it was so OP and the allies complained so much

The JackFrags Arnie scream is back! Love it!

Jack at 6:57 I’m pretty sure what made that weird noise were butterfly bombs. I’ve never heard it myself. Like your videos a lot. 😍

BfV was so awesome until the TTK-change, but the game is so fudge'ing beutiful still

About KZfaq, how has the "value" of a view changed while you've been a content creator? Nowadays, you can get thousands or millions of views on sites like TikTok or Instagram a lot easier than you can on KZfaq, but they don't feel like legitimate views. They could've just swiped past for a split second, and it's considered a view. Do you think KZfaq is moving in this direction and do you find it harder to gauge genuine engagement with your content?

Been a fan for a while from the u.s.. cool stuff 🙂 I'm more into campaign style play because I'm not that good 😊👍

Lovely video, Jack!

Heres a question that I know varies between content creators, but I want to know in your case specifically. How many weekly hours do you put into working on strictly youtube related things, and how are those hours divvied up into different parts of the process?

first

I was in that game! That's me number two from the left at the "best squad" end screen! Been watching you for years and finally managed to get in the same lobby as you. Great video!

That sounds of bullet casing is amazing

KZfaq Question: if you had to start from scratch, how would you do it to get your first 100k subscribers. Sort of a breif step by step guide with the knowledge your have now. Thanks Jack. Love your videos and your the first youtuber I watch first each day. Keep it up

Great video please do more with different weapons in bf games

I’ve always loved the overheating animation, you actually change the barrel of the MG42

This video is so ridiculous and so good at the same time, and I loved every single second of it!

Jack, such a long time since I've heard the phrase "Rolley Polley" LOL. FYI: That "Rod" you referred to is an over heated barrel . . . DoooH! LOL Best wishes from Thailand

“I can’t see what I’m shooting at. But that’s fine.” Jack gets kill. Lol 🤣

I had some fun with this gun the other day on Underground. There a millions of places you can quickly mount up and mow people down.

The sound of the gun is super accurate. They nailed it!

This gun also has excellent hip fire so it does go well with the run-and-gun play style

I want to see you use one of those high caliber sniper rifles in Battlefield 5, I love using them all the time

Man, I still enjoy watching vids with BF5!

there were certain AA-MG emplacements that were two or even 4 MG42's mounted together just absolutely swarming the air with bullets

Great content! I just wish we had a modern day bf game as fun as bf5!

I love seeing Jack just enjoying games lol

ROFL OMG I'm 44 seconds in and I'm already laughing and smiling. GO JACK! This gun is gold for me. Fun stuff

I have my own KZfaq channel with a couple of videos right now and was wondering if you have any tips and tricks regarding the algorithm and getting your videos out into the KZfaq space in order to build an audience. I was also wondering if it’s better to stick to one kind of topic, for example gaming, vlogs, etc or can you do a couple things you like on your channel. Love you’re content and fun fact you’re the one who got me into battlefield.

Always thought this game was underrated, would love to see more

Hi Jack, I love your content, I love how you see things in games. I might be a bit late, but how does the YT algorithm works what is it depending on how recent will youre video be in the recommendeds in certain categories, how do you make such content that ppl are interested in?

I just love how JackFrags uploads a video and I watch it and comment it

Hey Jackfrags, love you videos btw! My question regarding KZfaq is: if you could give your young self 5 tips for Starting your KZfaq, what would they be ? Thanks for the great content

Such a Great time to see you go back with that weapon & run a rampage on people. Good times.!.

Awesome gun. You make it look easy.

The MG42 was my first ever complete gold gun in BF5. The rapid fire mod was glorious. There after, the MG34 was my second gold gun. I properly loved the versions of the MGs that BF5 gave us.

SweatLords revisited! I loved that older vid! Cheers Jack

Jack’s voice in the next Battlefield is a MUST !!!

There are so many Situations in this vid in which I would have died at least 25 times but Jack keeps killing those enemy Soldiers xD

I hereby award you the honorary title of BeltfedJack

That "LMG sweat lord" beside the one that u spawn camped planes in BFV are your funniest videos ever.
