Alot of times we'll use colored tape to differentiate mags between squads/ platoons. It's easy to tell when your firing blanks, there's a special adapter you put at the end of the barrel.
@@lars5138 you were misinformed. the blank firing adapter is to allow gas build up to cycle the bolt. because there is no projectile if the BFA was not installed gasses would escape and not be pushed back through the gas system to cycle.
That moment when the heli spotted him and then it just drops from the sky reminds me of the moment the EMP knocked out the heli in the MW2 Single player. Shit's epic every time.
As an old school Operation Flashpoint (original 2000s) player who doesn't currently own a PC I must thank you for recording this gameplay. That was pretty epic. The devs built up the suspense perfectly. I will be following this series.
He's already played it and is doing a replay while recording. He knew exactly what was gonna happen everytime. Why hes being sneaky about it I cant say. At least that's what I think. Played this last night for the first time and the way he just skips all the explanations to completely new things and always knows where the enemy is gonna come from gave it away for me. But I could always be wrong ofc
23:05 "I swiped a couple grams of Modafinil from the medic's supplies at Point Hopi. And exchanged it with a militia nut for the price of a genuine Bluebell radio and its crypto key." Modafinil is crazy useful as a non-amphetamine way of staying awake and alert when sleep isn't an option, and last I checked it was being pretty extensively vetted for military use. Neat to see detail work like that in a game that takes place in the near future (but then again, what else do we expect from an ArmA game?).

I love how they came out with this after the *Area 51* raid. Its awesome they seen the potential of having a single player campaign where aliens come to invade lol. Loving this campaign so far.
The polish guy at 15:56 says "Get out of this hole", "you hear me?", "I know you understand what i'm saying", "take your wounded friend and get out of that hole, quick", "that thing, that is by you, what is it?", "I know you know some polish, talk back to me", "start finally talking!".
Well - they actually used polish actors to record voices for Livonian soldiers :P So here you got translation, if anybody is intrested in what they're saying :P 15:56 - Get out of that hole. (inaudible) I know You understand me. Take your wounded buddy and get out of that hole. Double time. That thing, that lies next to You - what is that? I know You licked (not sure if that is a good english synonym) some polish - answer me. Start talking.
Dumb mistake in translation. He said "Wiem, że nie znałeś Polski" and it means " I know you didn't know Poland" .It can not be translated as "I know you didn't know polish", becasue it is negative sentence, so we use "polskiego" instead of "polski" . This should be "I know you know polish" which should be translated as "Wiem, że znasz polski" .
@@ardex9677 That's all completely wrong. He says "Wiem, że liznąłeś Polski! Odpowiedz! Zacznij wreszcie gadać!" Which translating exactly would be, as a guy earlier stated "I know you licked some polish! Answer me! Start talking already!" "Liznąć coś" - "To lick something" is kind of polish "phrasal verb", which means to have vague knowledge of something. So the soldier is basically saying, that he knows the guy knows a bit of polish.
LOLOLOLOLOL, it’s fucking hilarious to see Drewski having the EXACT SAME REACTION I did to the beginning. “Wait, why does everything feel so weird, sound and look different? Oh, drone jammer, neat….. ah shit, I’m screwed… wait…. Oooohhhhh, I have blanks…. This was a training exercise” About the night being bright. I live just about parallel with where they say livonia is (I’m in North Idaho, livonia is about on the same longitude), and the nights when the moon is out are extremely bright. Even in the woods.
21:50 You'll never guess what game's soundtrack has been playing in my head all day (hint: it's Life is Strange). I'm going to go ahead and take this as a sign.
35:58 I wonder if you can listen in on the radio when the alarm sounds, maybe figure out what's causing it? (Possibly the arrival of other ships, but it's a bit odd they're spaced apart) 43:50 Good news, that's a lovely Cherenkov burst there. Bad news, you may have some slight massive radiation poisoning.
Drewski you and your content allways cheers me up and gets my depression out of my system after dad died and mom started on drugs after so I'm basically In a bowl of shit at the moment but your content and great personality helps alot think you
welp the doomsday clock is even closer now than arma predicted it would be in a few more years from now...but the reasons are spot on!! amazing stuff lol
The military will be using burn pits of some sort for years to come, even if it might be on the back of a truck. They will always need a sure fire and secure mode to destroy “things they don’t need anymore “ and normal waste.
So I bought the ARMA 3 deluxe (or whatever it's called) when it first come out, so I get all of the DLC's when they are released. I just want to say thanks for posting this 'Contact' video as I wanted to get an understanding of what it was about before I give it a try.

36:16 before, I thought, "Oh, Drewski increased the brightness for us. The game probably looks much darker. It is night after all." This is super duper bright. BI said: "LOOK AT MY MAP!"
"Those explosions are weird. They're all firey." Uh, yeah... That's what real explosions look like. Especially if they happen to be napalm. "Viking accent," lol. Didn't know people thought the Vikings were Scottish, lol.

This is awesome. I stopped playing *Arma* but I might download it again to try this DLC. I loved the community made content where its little missions and single player campaign's.... the scenarios are the best. I loved the one where you were on vacation and the island you were on got taken over by hostile forces and you have to fight your way out *Die Hard* style
39:30 oh glad that was the tutorial because after this they go real and if you send a order to soon after getting there ID by music bombing them they get suspicious.
Damn, honestly. Sitting through a ~45 min video, usually feels boring after a while. But, this was hella interesting. Like a movie! Love it, and your camera placement is on point. Gonna watch the second episode now :O
First thing I thought about the blue tape was "silencing" the magazines. We did it to the ends of our magazines to keep them from clanking against eachother and making alot of noise while we were moving. We never used blue though, either black or green or brown

Except for slavs they use blue tape everywhere
Alot of times we'll use colored tape to differentiate mags between squads/ platoons. It's easy to tell when your firing blanks, there's a special adapter you put at the end of the barrel.
It connects to the barrel to stop a live round in case of ammunition contamination, I was told it can stop 5-6 5.56mm rounds
