There's something poetic about dying, then 're-awakening' to your comrades and enemies both laughing at your glorious suicide-attack.

[@EthanEW]

That unanimous laughter at the end made my day. From such a horrible and gruesome start for you you picked that back up quickly and as best as you could. I loved your change of heart from checking every corner like a true soldier to a fuck it up insurgent. Great watch mate.

[@jonathanbarrell82]

"I am conflicted about this - I want the infidels to die but I don't want to be blown up in the blast!" Funny as!

[@Spartiate_Hoplite]

LOL!! The end was perfect!

[@Retrosicotte]

What I love most about this and all Shack vids is just the attitude with it. You're all on a level and there's active praise going on. Like when the guy with the rocket missed the convoy at about 13:10 (ish) you gave him a "Nice try." I've heard the same from Kilroy and the like too. It's a wonderful thing to meet. Any random server might be OMG NOOB or something...

[@Solidarity1024]

Dslyecxi, your videos are all enjoyable. Better than an action film. Thank you for sharing.

[@acerdavidii]

Well played, I like how you survived that initial encounter and began taking out the opposition with good decision making. The suicide run at the end was the icing on the cake. Great stuff Dslyecxi, glad I subbed.

[@Popsumpot]

Really loving the first-person view gameplay, it's just ton's better and more intense than the 3rd person cinematic footage!

[@morgancross5481]

It definitely feels weird watching you sneak through this terrain with expert precision on "Stay Awhile and Listen" next to running up and down it here placing mines and dumping bullets into buildings. Love it!

[@Soaptastesok]

That ending was beautiful.

[@HonaBadgaProductions]

I love how Kilroy's perspective make this look super funny, but Lyecxi's make it seems super serious.

[@headrockbeats]

Just wanted to say that I've just shared one of Kilroy's videos with some of my friends, hope to get them interested in this if only for watching ShackTac vids. I've watched almost half your videos by now, and hope to watch many more. Keep it up, ShackTac, wish we could join!

[@fhistleb]

Complacency kills. Great ending man.

[@OwlishGeorge]

Worth every second just to watch the end. Good on you Dslyecxi.

[@ICryWhenICum]

Wow Dslyecxi this video was brilliant. I know it's a cliche, but I was on the edge of my seat the entire video. Every time a vehicle rolled past your mine I was tensing up like crazy! More insurgent videos like this would be great!

[@samipoju1990]

Thank you for introduction, it's so much more enjoyable when I know what I am looking at.

[@midnightrose2006]

These videos are amazing. I get so much joy at watching people get taken out with such mastercraft work

[@Jeremor]

There is nothing better than a Dslyecxi insurgent video. Crazy awesome shit always happens.

[@mikewright7964]

I think this was my first video I watched from Shacktac

[@coosafication]

love your videos , never played the game before . but your "commentary" style is so immersive and enjoyable ,and thanks to you , Arma2 is going to be first thing i buy once i get a decent pc. Keep up the good work

[@taylorhines5660]

you should've placed that mine in the inside curve of that bend in the road instead of the outside curve, because when they started to bug out under fire they would probably try to cut corners on slight turns like that

[@RadeUeMasq]

Thanks Dyslexi lol I found this video quite invigorating, love the ending

[@Oops-All-Ghosts]

Mass hysteria at the end; that was awesome. In CoD you'd have all those people screaming obscenities at you; probably the same in Battlefield. In Arma, you get "nice!" I really want to play this, but for some reason my computer can't run the campaign without crashing (it's not performance; my computer can handle every other game I own without any lag whatsoever), which doesn't bode well for multiplayer. Still, I'm going to keep watching this. By the way, you were featured on PC Gamer. =D

[@JordanCT]

I really appreciate these videos. So entertaining to watch!

[@Mynameistux]

That makes me want to play ARMA 2. WELL DONE SIR

[@sparks444]

I love hearing the humvee crew's reacting to the mine as they pass. Positional voice audio is so great.

[@joeyallen2222]

I like the standard aspect ratio better. I was able to see your squad mates and, whenever you are in a vehicle I can see the status of whatever vehicle you are in.

[@MexicanHatBoy]

This was really awesome, highly entertaining. Exactly the sort of mission I'd like to play!

[@Scaboom]

That draw distance was awe inspiring.

[@47ex1]

I was apploaded at the end! Thats some brilliant guerillia work! XD

[@TomRichardson93]

Never stop making these videos.. Ever.. I'm a new subscriber and I'm hooked!

[@badshot117]

That finale is the best thing I have ever seen.

[@zer0her0]

"This is going to be a one way trip btw" "Fine by me, I've got no where else to go." Best response/accepting an offered suicide mission ever.

[@DukeAKS47]

"Just do whatever you think you need to do" That made me laugh a good bit, can always rely on high command!

[@bertster28]

SHACK TAC FTW!!! I love you guys! Thanks for uploading endless great videos!

[@GoodBlokesNZ]

I thought I had managed to make it back, and was being patched up on the ground, when what do you know, but up pops Dsylecxi and a grenade welding friend. Good lesson on the importance of maintaining security, even after you think the mission is complete.

[@seagybooboo]

that was an awesome ending im glad i stuck around for the full thing ^.^

[@Ti1ted1]

Best video yet Dslyecxi! Keep it up :D

[@mrpickins]

One of your best videos. The ending had me amazed.

[@Stephnist]

I still enjoy this video.

[@EtherealMoon]

Knowing that while all this went on there were three UN soldiers whining about stubbing their toes and lounging on stretchers really puts things into perspective.

[@UberMax23]

Edge of my seat for that landmine stuff. Funny how tense your mission perspective was in comparison to Kilroy's UN sponsored sleepover party/medivac tour of Aliabad.

[@flyboy92]

The thing about playing well in ArmA isn't about having a fast trigger or great aim like it is in Counterstrike or other shooters. All of the difficult shots in ArmA you will have time to line up. The key thing in ArmA is having a tactical mind and the ability to adapt and manipulative the enemy into making mistakes.

[@HellYeahItsMaverick]

That's a mature way to call out a liar, respect.

[@vinceven]

"I sure wouldn't get in a truck with Dslyecxi and hit the enemies in an epic, crazy suicide mission." -No one, ever

[@dderkas]

That scream at 5:13 scared the crap out of me xD

[@LukeKimmell]

KZbin recommends a Dslyecxi video - 43 years ago.

[@xxxsony123xxx]

The end of this video NEVER gets old.

[@mccoyisthebest]

all i need is operation arrowhead and for it to run well on my pc and i might apply for shacktac. i love your vids they are amazing. i'm always hooked when watching these

[@RoundenBrown]

06:35 That's when a 40mm HEDP would come in handy.

[@Viscupelo]

"This compound is occupied." Pretty god damn badass.

[@LardyC7]

Love the ending, bloody funny. Great vid as always matey.

[@jamespearce7499]

Great video Dslyecxi great the ending!

[@TML340]

So I saw on your site that not only do you have an animal computer, but you have two screens side-by-side if I'm correct. Do you play Arma like that? With both screens?

[@Dhawherdaverd]

that's because these guys are professional and mature. unlike a lot of people on the random servers.

[@ligthert]

The Tank recovery vehicle is looking NICE! :D

[@95chap]

The end was priceless. I loved it.

[@BJ-Hawk]

There is only one think I never want to happen in Arma. Playing with/against Dslyecxi. Everyone around him just dies :D

[@arielvaldman]

This is THE best ending of a video on the whole internet

[@Dhawherdaverd]

although there are other servers and groups kind of like shacktac out there. shacktac is still probably one of the best.

[@MookieMarkova]

What a glorious moment there at the end! Oh man, my sides!

[@izaul01]

The true reason Dslyecxi checks the dog tags is he secretly wishes for each one to have Chkilroy's name on it.

[@Twadfire]

Hillarious end. Good job.

[@zon3ful]

LOL 11:20 made me laugh. "Put the rocket in the top floor" and the whole building blows up :D

[@kazapowa]

you have the best "insurgent" arma2 videos man. keep it up. i follow you for more ambushes hehehe. EPIC ENDING!

[@buk1237]

It's like they could sense the mine rofl, and the ending just topped the whole mission :D

[@Mr_Toasty.1]

Hey Dslyecxi. Can you change the format so we see the everything you see? Would be awesome! I really enjoy watching You'r videos

[@SOTurner]

this is amazing more stuff like this funny and pretty intense. love it, like it, and subscribed!

[@bruellwitz]

The end warmed my heart :D

[@timmyforlife1707]

Such an old but amazing video, decisions were great but the one thing that I would've yelled many times is the mine. In my opinion, that was a small curve in the road, which leads people to cut those curves and drive on the dirt. Bluntly saying not on the dirt side where you placed your Anti-Vehicle mine.... meh it was 4 years ago, the venting is real

[@nascar241993]

Sweet. I do own ArmA II: CO, have heard of the ACE mod, but never tried it,and it's been quite a long time since I played ArmA II.

[@willymurdo]

"This situation sucks" I may have spat out my tea laughing

[@TakingUrCookies]

Talk about going out with a bang. Actually, more like hail. Loved the video!

[@OakleyK9]

I was team lead in the first humvee that passed the mine. I passed it up to watch out for it (in case you can't already tell from their behavior). If it's any consolation though, we damn near hit it and screamed!

[@Hipporider]

Great video as always,Dyslexi ,but I am curious,why is it pretty much always that you play Arma 2 and not 3?

[@AFOKHAOS]

ARMA 2 does not have all the necessary/wanted features ARMA 2 does. Until it does ARMA 2 is still their main game. Features like the ones ACE adds, etc.

[@12gabriel3]

I love the way you guys play! I wish I could play with you :/

[@SuperExodian]

fair enough.. i bow to your superior entertaining skills, kind sir

[@Azeon91]

I like ur videos a lot man. Keep up the good work!

[@dnn112233]

Hey Dslyecxi, I have a suggestion for your intro. Have you considered during the little intro information part that you do (in this case from 0:08 to 0:48) having, maybe in a corner of the intro, the map name, game type if applicable, and whether or not it is available to the public, etc? I see some of that in the description, but perhaps this way it would be more accessible (i.e. in front of peoples faces) and you would get less comments asking. Just a minor suggestion on another awesome video.

[@BlackShadow1991]

My God... Ending was absolutely epic and awesome :D

[@ncatt323]

the ending is the best ive ever seen :D

[@Moleculor]

You got in one SUV and the other guy said he'd be getting in a second. The whole time you were driving I was screaming "Warn him about the mine! WARN HIM ABOUT THE MINE!" Because it would have been hilariously bad if he hit it.

[@rll661]

Excellent op!

[@Mrfizzlewizzletastic]

He took out a guy that was on the other side of the wall while also opening up a new entrance to the compound. Seemed pretty effective to me.

[@credence7777777]

why place the mine on the outside of the corner when everyone always uses the inside of a corner, especially when in a hurry?

[@PetterWolff]

Fantastic! Great use of that mine...

[@bb3xhrhj]

everything went better than expected :)

[@GlocknadeClipazine]

That was awsome, I hope dyslexi excepts me into shacktac

[@slugger449]

knowing dyslecxi, he didnt shoot because he wasnt 100% sure he would get the kill. And even if he was 100%, he still might not shoot. Dyslecxi is a ninja because hes very careful who he shoots, and spares. this gets him the flanks he's so infamously known for.

[@Genome85]

"I've got like eight grenades" "...excellent."

[@CptFoley191]

Awwww... That kinda sucks. I see where you're comming from but it is still too bad. Thanks for responding anyways! Have a good day.

[@lordofgangstas]

You guys would do a pretty good job as insurgents IRL hehe

[@jamboman84]

What an ending, that was brilliant :)

[@R3P1xX146]

fantastic undercover mission :D

[@nmpraveen]

This is the first time I'm watching this game and you already know what I'm gonna do rest of the day.. You play well. What level you would describe your playing in the scale of 1-10, 1 being noob.. Just want to know so that I would get a idea..

[@WinchesterDelta1]

Ending was epic. Well done :)

[@swish007]

That ending was so damn beautiful

[@tpjones1013]

I love that ending.

[@M1NIONM4N]

Hm I will just see if ArmA is just lying to me and keep up the awesome vids the ending was spectacular.

[@skull132]

You can use a series of commands that one would type into a unit's init field in the editor. The specific commands would be addweapon, addmagazine, and a few others if my memory serves. I'd recommend going to Bohemia Interactive's wiki and looking those up.
