- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ต.ค. 2024
- Flying as BLUFOR pilot for a run of Dark Business. It's six of us versus sixty of the enemy to try to save two agents - Bricks and Pepper. If you like this stuff, as always, show the love through comments, likes, favorites, subscriptions, etc. Feed the machine.
The mission shown is an adversarial on the Sahrani terrain.
Q: What server am I playing Arma games on, who are these people, and can you join?
A: It's the private server for my community, Shack Tactical. As of 2014 we've been around for eight years, and I wouldn't trade it for anything - we have a fantastic memberbase and it makes for amazing gameplay in Arma and elsewhere. You can read more about us here: www.shacktac.com
Q: What mods does ShackTac use in Arma?
A: I keep a list of them here: dslyecxi.com/sh...
Q: Does ShackTac play mostly coop or mostly PvP/adversarial in Arma?
A: We do a mix of about 70% adversarial and 30% coop - both offer unique experiences and are a blast to play.
Q: How long have you been playing the Arma series?
A: I've been here from the start, with my Operation Flashpoint experience beginning with the demo's release in 2001. I went into the US Marine Corps shortly after (no relation!) and in 2004 I started playing OFP in multiplayer. 2006 saw me found ShackTac, which started in OFP and then transitioned through Arma 1, Arma 2, and finally, Arma 3. I hope to continue this for a long time into the future, as well as share the ride with viewers like you, as corny as that sounds!
Q: What system am I filming all of my Arma and VBS footage on?

The "gee I wonder" tag on the map made my day.
No matter how many times I see this mission, it will never get old.
Easily one of the coolest gameplay vids I've ever seen, well done
I have to say I have been watching your videos in silence, while greatly enjoying them, until now. This is by far one of the best executions on an Arma mission I think I have ever seen. Now I believe that this type of professionalism was not scripted and execution came from years of playing together, however I find it incredibly crazy that the professionalism and execution in this mission and video mirrors in great detail that of an actual SF operation. Thanks for the video.
It is on the BIS forums. It is about a Spetznaz platoon and their survival. You must complete six randomly generated objectives to beat the campaign. You fight along side Russia Motor Rifles and you have support from Artillery some times. Your opponent depends on the version. I am currently playing the Chechen addon version but I know there is also a Takistan version. It is a lot of fun so far!
I hope I speak for more than just myself, but I absolutely love it when you record dark business. I've been looking for videos from you and CHKilroy and I just can't seem to get enough. Would like to see more of this.
Just now watched this. That was pretty intense. I like how the hostages ended up being split up with Pepper not knowing where the other guy was, so trying to secure him became an extra challenge.
Oh wow this was fantastic. I haven't see a game of dark business in a really long time, and this was was amazing. And I love how Bricks started the whole thing.
We heard him quite clearly. Hearing him and seeing him and being able to do something about it are all different things. Hell, I spend 5 minutes following the sound of his bird in my video of the mission while "the meet" was going on hoping to see if he dropped anyone close.
First dark business I have watched in its entirety. Very well executed and all-round awesome.
This is one of my favorite scenarios from ShackTack, Dark business (and other hostage situations) are some of the most entertaining to watch!
This... was even more suspenseful than any action movie ever made. Beautiful. And, better yet, perfectly executed by blue team.
That's a very good observation, Retrosicotte. More awesome memories than I could have hoped for. I don't know what my life would be like without this group :)
Dslyecxi - I was so impressed with your flying - I was mesmerized - the last landing near the buildings gave me a pucker factor of 10 at least. The whole video was a nail-biter. One hell of a mission - it's amazing what ARMA is capable of. Bravo
ShackTac moment with no one dying? I'm impressed.
That was wonderfully tense. ONLY with Arma and ONLY with a group like Shacktac could I ever expect to see these kinds of situations.
But the thing that was best for me? Right at the end when yo uall in the heli were sharing the stories and perspectives you each saw in individually. I'm no Arma player and I'm no Shacktac member by a long shot...but I feel safe in saying that I'm pretty damn sure that is ALL what Shacktac is about. That spirit and fun from something serious shared.
12:48 Bricks running on the ground.. Wow this was so intense, I really go into this mission and had my fingers crossed that you'd get Bricks of that hill and you did.. Wow. I'd probably rate this as my favorite video by you so far.. :D
Lovin' these Dark Business games. Keep more of that coming. I've missed seeing it in my queue of subscription vids. Tense situation all the way through, especially at the end where you couldn't do anything but watch your friendlies secure the hostage. Great stuff.
That sigh, shows how nerve wrecking the mission can be :)
Bricks was genius. Kudos on everyone's part as well.
Thank you for uploading a full video of a game of dark buisness, Dslyecxi
You seem to play Dark Business a lot, or at least, the most interesting stuff happens during Dark Business as you have quite a few videos featuring Dark Business, as do CHKilroy and Beagle
This was like an action movie! With some fancy editing and writing you could create this scenario into some sort of action sequence or machinima. I will "borrow" the concept for something I'm writing. :P
most tense hostage situation yet i love these hostage missions most so much happens :)
I love you guys! When people like Kilroy and Beagle aren't fucking around with the SMAWs, you guys take this very seriously. And I'm surprised how you guys made this so serious at times, yet you still manage to enjoy it to the fullest extent.
this was awesome, u guys should film more of these :P or maybe an even bigger and harder one haha!
one question though, OPFOR doesnt hear the little bird? O.o
Yup to the morse code, although I thought the first hostage was "Pepper", who unless they had a recent operation, would be a well spoken English woman ;)
The variety of the missions and the content of the vids are great - I'm very envious. Thanks, Dslyecxi.
Between the TrackIR and your confidence with the controls, you were flying that amazingly well. How do you keep such good control over altitude variation when you're circling and not watching your direction of movement?
That was a thriller, could have been a movie, to be honest.
You don't have to enjoy the game to find this fun to watch.
That was badass, it would be cool to see some other viewpoints though, I hope some of them recorded it.
That was really tense and cool, I love watching these types of special operations.
Independents have two blufor hostages, opfor has an ammo truck. Indy want the ammo truck, opfor AND blufor both want hostages but for different reasons. The objective is to get the thing you want while not letting the other team capture what they want.
i usually never see the guys Dslyecxi sees but check out 32:00 at the bottom of the screen. I think it's partly because this is probably my favorite video, i felt like i was playing!
This was probably one of the best and most entertaining video's you have done in wile
That's the way a Spec Ops mission should go! All home, mission accomplished.
This mission was really cool to watch.
Theses videos have become a guilty pleasure...
To your knowledge, was anyone on the ground recording? That was awesome.
All I have to say is, well done and bravo. nice to see everyone making it home with no KIA or WIA.
Better than a movie, no doubt.
I gotta ask, did you add that sigh of relief at the end? Even if you did it was absolutely appropriate for the situation.
Great video. Dark Business is always fun to watch.
That was freakin' awesome! Nice video Dslyecxi! :) More Dark Business!
show more of the after of you guys talking about the stuff that happened in the mission. like at the end of this vid. love that stuff
I'm not an expert by any means, but that tone tends to be processed/acknowledged faster than more "friendly" tones of voice. Since each action matters, making sure everyone knows exactly what's going on is most important. I'm sure no one thought anything of his tone. :)
Poor Pepper had to stay on the island for almost the entire mission.
god, i love what you guys do, if only i could take part... used to be part of a mil sim clan on BF3 but it fell apart due to kids... i miss those days, still keep the website in my bookmarks.
Great video. I'm wondering why you didn't have your man on the helicopter engage the guys at the gas station from the air?
Love the *SIGH* at the very end!
That was tense, crackin' video Dslyecxi.
Hey Dslyecxi, this is unrelated to this video, but have you guys ever played the Forgotten Few mission by King Nothing? It is on a smaller scale than what you guys normally do but is nonetheless a very well done mission.
This was indeed an awesome run of DB. Can't wait to play it again in the future. Great video Dslyecxi.
Night time in Arma is more or less pitch black unless you have NVG. You really need some form of lights or NVG to see further then 5 feet or so.
That was an awesome as hell mission.
Help me out here man. I'm new to Arma. Is this Arma2? I find this game/mission absolutely insane! Is everyone in this mission a live person? Is the hostage an actual online player? This realism in incredible.
Holy banana's that was pure 100% uncut awesome!!!
do you ever plan on making some missions (like this one) available for play on other servers (such as UO)? Or do you guys prefer not to release them? I'm sure plenty of guys would love to play this type of mission!
HOLY CRAP! I was holding my breath there the last couple minutes there!!!!!
That was intense man.
Damn
Dark Business could be a TV show.
if every shaktac vid from now on was dark buisness i would be ok with that
Yay! The return of my favorite game mode!
I've seen all of the Dark Business you guys have released, and I still wonder what happens to the hostages after they're rescued. Particularly in this case, would it have been possible for OPFOR or IND to find Pepper and re-capture her while BLU searched for Bricks? It's not likely I know, but could it happen/is it allowed?
There's a couple of missions like this in the Arma 3 Alpha, only the factions' objectives are very different.
That was unbelievable amazing!
By far, the best Video I've seen on youtube for a long, long time!
Wow, that looked like a ton of fun. So damn tense. Awesome job!
Love ShackTac videos.
Anyways, OFP: Cold War Crisis player here; may I ask, would you guys recommend I get ARMA II or III? And how do each differ? Thanks in advance.
Prolly the best one yet!!!
Hey, at least we got a good showdown going at the docks. It made for a good mission, even after we died, as it was entertaining to watch unfold.
Could you give a brief description of what goals each team has? Or I guess just more of a description of what dark business is.
Do you have more of this missions with a small-amount of players? I love your big ones, but I would like to see more videos from missions with only some players
You guys were some Bad Dudes
Well, that was tense.
And new episode of Dark Business!?
I never thought I'd see the day :D
Were your buddies recording too? I would love to see some other perspectives of the mission.
Another awesome video, id love to have a go on that mission.
Holy fuck. When I get my living situations squared away, I'm building a computer. Fuck.
Hey Dslyecxi why d'ya get out and get back into the littlebird when extracting people? Is it so you're not a sitting-duck in the heli or is it for other reasons?
hahah the end was funny it was like you saved a real dufus
Maybe a silly question, but how come they don't seem to notice you flying around in that helicopter at the start? Is it too dark/far away for them to hear and see it? Or did they simply choose not to shoot at it?
Ah yea I understand, I've had to do that in Arma too but I didn't put 2 and 2 together to realise why he did it in this video :D
Man that was so good, what happened to Chris did he not make it??
I would love to see this from Bricks' or Pepper's perspective...maybe Dslyecxi should be a captured agent next time?
So did this situation evolve over time on the server or was this the immediate mission?
This is what i call an early christmas gift. Thanks Dslyecxi!
Damn, that was badass. Well done, everybody.
Wow, the communication flow in this video seems so much more "rough around the edges" then in your other videos....
this was so legit, i got arma 2 and arma OA just to play DayZ but after seeing this im going to start to play the game for itself and not the mods
What prevents Independent and Opfor for making a smooth transfer? Do they get "additional points" if they secure the enemy resource without giving away theirs?
this may seem like a weird question. but do the mission makers play in the missions they made?
Does Bricks have a channel? And/or is there a video from his perspective somewhere?
I like the varity of you in vechicals ans you being a foot solider keep it up
How are they shooting from the bench of the Little Bird?
As far as I can tell that's not a feature of ArmA 2 or ACE2.
How difficult is it for opfor to hear the helo when you are orbiting at the beginning? Seems a little weird you could orbit and they continued anyways
Is this PVP?
Keep up the good man!
I realy loved the Vietnam misson some Months ago is it possible You could try a Vietnam or WW2 themed misson? :)
I know this won't change anything and I know the policy on optics with you guys, but I think a MK17 Sniper SD would be fitting for ONE of the BLUFOR units. Being able to set up over the trade area or take out that scout in the lighthouse from the skids, for example, would be really cool, and I think balanced. Although now that I think of it, I don't think that scope is NVG compatible, so I don't think it'd work... Would still be cool though. Maybe CCO SD instead? :)
Do the enemy teams have NV? Does BluFor have any other advantages other than the helo?
That was awesome.
Woah, that seemed like an epic run o.o'
How often do both hostages make it out alive? I've heard it mentioned that the hostages often get killed off early (I think that was in Bad Dudes, actually), and the only other clip of DB I've seen is the thirty second clip of Kilroy losing his shit after losing his hostages.
