A Tale Too Far - ShackTac Arma 2

[@headrockbeats]

Each "act" in this video is fabulous in its own right and for different reasons. This is definitely one of the more awesome ShackTac videos I've seen so far.

[@ominouspenguin]

Dslyecxi shoots Bernie in the face. 25:40 - Opfor: "I really hope you didn't kill Bernie" Dslyecxi: "He'll be ok..."

[@silenthunder52]

"The hostages are in a plane" *Explosion in the distance*

[@StormShaun]

Whenever Beagle is mentioned, I got the feeling that Dslyecxi just wants to shoot him ... or give him his 'regards'. And just feeling Dslyecxi's eyes and guns on your back must be very ... scary.

[@coconuts623]

"Naw, it just crashed" -Dslyecxi

[@luxuriouslobster3681]

"Oh that's the last thing I want to hear right now..." *Dslyecxi stretches trigger finger* "Please for the love of god, answer me."

[@Foksuh]

Poor Bernie! So cold.. so cold.

[@sintramdragonis4794]

Not at all. He shoot Dsylecxi's Littlebird down. He got what he deserved^^

[@TheRogueWolf]

ArmA II is a realistic barnstorming simulator. Also, I hope to God I am never held hostage by Dslyecxi, because I will throw myself through the nearest window rather than have him use that voice on me.

[@VooDooMusic]

I, too, like to storm barns

[@blckdrgn813]

And I would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for you meddling bad dudes!

[@Sectionmanifold]

This needs to be rewritten into a movie by, and directed by Martin McDonagh.

[@mastoner20]

"-After shooting enemy's friend in the head- He'll be okay." Loved that small bit.

[@cirmothe9]

This was great. Beagle was in the scout plane they shot down. Blackdragon lies about him being alive twice.

[@draigaur9543]

loved the manoeuvring on the radio by your side :)

[@steveobarnes]

This is one of the most complete videos you have uploaded. Cool team work, amazing helicopter actoin, some shenanigans and then some mind games/negotiations. Some of your videos are more entertaining and action packed, but few have a narrative as complete as this one.

[@PerfectDarkly]

The entire tone of this mission shifts dramatically when you hear the second plane crash in the distance. I love it.

[@jazzrat614]

Watching that from dslyecxi's point of view and then watching it from blckdrgn's is a completely different experience. Two observations: 1) dslyecxi can be really creepy when you can't see anything and 2) blckdrgn carrying on a fake conversation with beagle over the radio (who was already dead) to save his own life was hilarious. Great video!

[@ShagShaggio]

This is just pure gold. I must say, having just recently found your channel and watched your videos, Dark Business seems to be the mission that brings the most interesting and creative narrative. Poor Blackdragon obviously put some deep thought into his plan just to get boned by all three factions, including his own. Oh and happy holidays and I hope you guys have a fantastic new year! Or should I say I hope you guys have a Shacktastic new year? (cheesy puns ftw!)

[@FlameHaze285]

This is so fun to watch. Great video, looks like you guys had fun. Dark Business is always fun to watch.

[@CombatMagic]

Oh yeah, this one... this one is the one that made me enamored of Dslyecxi's videos... 31:10 - 31:30 is just amazing role-playing, outstanding performances...

[@MarkWarmington]

Total and utter respect for the attention to detail you guys take.

[@Marcai]

31:26- the voice/ hanging head of a broken man, who is suddenly very aware that his time has come. Brilliant video from start to finish, Dslyecxi!

[@dsi24]

Holy shit that timing with the pick-up and the EI driving up at 4:40, you couldn't script that.

[@STEELTOE1134]

Nothing like a good video of Dark Business to watch the day before Christmas

[@kskeel1124]

Wow this one was great all the twists and turns!!!

[@TheJombeeno]

Absolutely awesome! Love this stuff! So exciting to see that bi-plane go down! Wonder what it looked like form the ground!

[@NextGen_Pants]

Awesome. Always love to see Dark Business

[@vegetatrf]

That was epic! That ending. So freaking tense and epic. So much better than most of the crap on tv.

[@shadowblaster124]

This was one of my favorite videos so far. Dark Business is always fun to watch, and this one in particular had nice action, spying, plotting, and intrigue.

[@TheGameAre]

Saw Dark Business in the description and in memory of Giggles the Carjacker I must watch.

[@RiflingMatters]

It's always the twists, the unexpected occurrences, that make for an interesting mission. :)

[@DocktorFurioustank]

Alt title: Black Dragon Has a Really Bad Day

[@DuchessTwilight]

This is the most scripted looking, but not, ShackTac thing i've ever seen, and its beautiful!

[@Skyfox94]

The last 10 minutes were so intense :D

[@aRedneckStormtrooper]

LOL, poor Beagle was the bi-plane pilot.

[@Deock76]

OK, Does anyone know if there is a video from the grounds view? This was a epic scenario and POV. Thanks Dslyecxi!

[@HedgyTrimmer]

I love these runs on dark business, they always go differently from the last run

[@bertster28]

11:00 Best ARMA 2 moment ever! Never thought that would actually happen haha

[@TKakela]

Yet another Dark Business! You really want to treat us for Christmas :) Keep the great videos coming, you have an awesome community!

[@danj.p.5341]

So many great exchanges between Dyslecxi and the hostage taker BlackDragon. BlackDragon - The hostages are currently on a plane trip. Dyslecxi - Are they? *shoots guard in the head* BlackDragon - Did you just kill Bernie? Dyslecxi - Is that what I did? BlackDragon - That makes me really sad, Dyslecxi - The fact that the hostages are on a plane makes me a little sad.

[@d3adbeatraccoon]

This video was so intense! One of your best. Dslyecxi: Master Hostage Negotiator

[@japaneza1966]

This would make for great TV.

[@Greavsie93]

Is Dark Business the same mission as the one where you hijacked the truck?

[@rinalds637]

Greavsie93 it is, person who commented 3 years ago :)

[@VynalDerp]

@@rinalds637 hello there commenter from three years ago

[@Alskie666]

I like these "trust" kind of missions.

[@LZLandingZone]

This was great. The ending part reminded me of Phonebooth. Hold someone hostage till you get what you want.

[@MrBojangles2020]

your best video holy shit i was hype watching this!!!i almost feel like you should have saved it for the 1st so it could be in the 2014 shacktac compilation lol kudos on taking out the guy with the lmg before he even became a problem;you were very Bane

[@nightr4ven]

Merry Christmas Dslyecxi from NZ! Awesome video, best run of DB that I've seen!

[@Strike86]

With the exception of that one time where Dslyecxi and Kilroy were the only two people left alive, this is the best Dark Business yet. My buns were clenched the whole way through.

[@gmjaken]

Each time you post a Dark Business video, it's better than the last. Great watch!

[@LowResDev]

This is honestly one of my favorite Arma videos! So fucking awesome! It's like a movie :^)

[@IAMZPWNZR]

LOL 31:10 Started laughing my ass off. Hostage: "oh no" "ghostboots(pilot) are you still with us?" Radio: "It sounds like the airplane just crashed..." Hostage: "Please answer me,"

[@ThePirateKing2]

The CIA recently released a collection of "intelligence art", which included a painting of a Huey gunner shooting down a biplane in vietnam. Apparently it was based on a real event, which was the first such instance in air combat. Pretty cool how similar this round of DB turned out.

[@JojoJuhbo]

***** Cool picture, thanks for sharing.

[@rinalds637]

Haha, that's awesome!

[@DaBruzzla]

It's strange first seeing this perspective everybody badass killing the guys on the ground and suspecting bullshit when all the indies wanted was to trade in the hostages and conmunicate.

[@mnkymanfoo]

That banter at the end was amazing.

[@selkirk57]

You had me on the edge of my chair. Very well done Dslyecxi.

[@CrimsonPhantom88]

9:25, it sounds like one of your guys is reading a poem. "Three men standing side by side in the headlights,one man standing opposite them. Two men standing in the headlights, walking towards the hangar. One man still standing in the headlights, the other man still standing opposite."

[@DoctorSheep]

Maybe I should take up writing poetry.

[@EtherealMoon]

Pretty damn amazing.

[@lucasrocks19]

Your mission are always so intesting to watch!

[@farlenbrithire9479]

I love Dark Business.

[@Mcree114]

Dark Business videos are always epic.

[@velodrome37]

Wait, heat signatures? You can see that from the map in DB?

[@ALegitimateYoutuber]

That was magical, loved every part of it. Also Dslyecxi my god you are a good fucking pilot.

[@VooDooMusic]

First video of yours I saw. Well played indeed!

[@mishak6175]

I was on my toes in this video damn!

[@Leander_]

Oh, that one plane? Nah, it just crashed.

[@JonnieMurphy]

loved listening to what the others were doing while dslyecxi was managing their indie hostage

[@carbombgun]

By far my favorite video yet, keep it up

[@Enforcer95]

Thanky you! You have just saved me from boredom! :D

[@grindstone4910]

Whenever Dslyecxi speaks in a low tone, it gives me chills.

[@Verbose_Mode]

If it could have happened in this mission, it did. That was insane.

[@ChristopherByrumHarris]

Wow, that run was a lot more interesting if you weren't stuck in a plane for the duration of it.

[@Tibialstone7]

That bipod takedown was intense

[@AngstycAT77]

I thought those WW1 Camel biplanes had Vickers on them, were they just not allowed to be used because they're OP?

[@AwakenLife]

Damn, Poor Ghost Boots.. Great Vid

[@pro2g366]

Better than any movie!

[@MrBojangles2020]

BERNIE had it coming

[@makaflocka5140]

Can someone tell me at 21:18 what name the passenger said after Aiwohl, it sounds like Medeiros which would be weird cause that's my last name.

[@ronnie4198]

I saw this thumb and instantly thought dark business

[@metromacca]

great mission! how many people do you usually have playing dark business?

[@shaymin998]

Beagle was in that biplane you shot down lol.

[@Roeney89]

I love your interrogations!!

[@xSilentBladexx]

Detective work at the end. Fucking Awesome lol

[@silenthunder52]

M. Night Shyamalan says "What a Twist!"

[@P01N7]

That was... awesome!

[@P01N7]

Can anyone link me to some more of Dslyecxi video's close to this? I've seen some (I really need to watch more) but I always thought most were more milsim and not so rp?

[@Siege223Gaming]

I'm Point Just go through his channel and watch all of them, it's what I did when I first came across the amazing that is he.

[@ThatOldGrey]

I'm Point There's some amazing RP in his video "The Silver Briefcase".

[@P01N7]

That was great. Thanks *****

[@vinnywelsh]

Great vid!

[@Thepredator45]

Another Awesome video!

[@cobrajmr]

So after the mission ended, did you actually find out if they died in the crash? lol

[@mattijsvanmieghem1816]

Big fan, best one yet....

[@chuckerclucker7812]

Rest in peace, Bernie. 12/24/2013

[@007ggman]

are you guys going to use arma 3 soon or is this still your preference long term?

[@dslyecxi]

There are some server optimizations being made to A3 currently that are of interest to us. We'll probably start experimenting in it again. The goal is definitely to move to it in the future, we're just not rushing the process.

[@007ggman]

thanks and good luck :-)

[@IamSyrach]

Detective Lyecxi is on the case!

[@coolman9899]

Dsylecxi which side do you enjoy playing most in a round of dark business?

[@dslyecxi]

BLUFOR's my favorite, since it's such a difficult position to be in. You may have a helo, nightvision, and suppressed weapons, but it only takes one tiny slip for the hostages to die. Being able to watch from the sky and try to assess where the hostages are being taken, plan on-the-fly to rescue them, and actually execute that rescue is a tremendously challenging thing to do.

[@coolman9899]

Sadly the hostages died before you could exchange them, guess that is just the nature of dark business, I love watching all the DB missions. I still re-watch Giggles the Carjacker every now and again. :D

[@RSabad]

Please tell me there is footage from other players of this mission. That was really awesome.

[@sid45365]

LMAAO when u shot down the by-plane with a little bird hahhaah nice

[@DoodooVoodoo1]

What game mode is this the deception portion of it is very appealing

[@1336Studios]

24 minutes in... so brilliant

[@TheOfficialRedsean]

So much badassery.

[@DutchVidya]

"The hostages are still in the Hangar" Oh but Blackdragon is a supervillian...

[@sandspar]

So tense, you just knew " IndyDude " shouldn't get a 401k

[@MrAudacia]

loool, D your voice is so hostile when you find those two and take the one hostage. and the hostage was such an obvious liar after he talked to beagle. I bet it was beagle who told him to say that lool.

[@xSilentBladexx]

What server are u guys playing on>?
