Video by Me
Every player walking with the convoy and driving is a player. The enemies are AI.
I believe we had around 100 players at this time. We peaked at the start of the session at 123.
Our mission was to investigate an outpost who had a damaged radio relay. For some reason, they sent an entire company to fix it. But as we got there, we found the base was occupied by enemy troops, and we were ambushed but managed to fall back without taking too many casualties. We were told to return to base and everything just went to shit from there.
Man starting to realize how much the lighting in Arma 2 bothers me now that Arma 3 is pretty.
How many vehicles were there total?

Atleast 15-20
Stewe231, Are you part of ShackTac or some other realistic group?

Yeah, I'm in Shacktac, that's who I'm playing with in this video.
You guys need movement and fire discipline.
[QUOTE=don818;36491062]You guys need movement and fire discipline.[/QUOTE]
This is after everything went to shit, you don't see the other half of the mission where we played. We were just trying to get back to base after finishing the objective. Also, you try organizing 100 people and 20 UAZ's down a dirt road without getting everyone killed. Try watching some other videos by Dslyecxi before talking about things you know nothing about.

squads got split, lots of leadership got dead, and it was the greatest firefight ive ever been in
Man, I wish there were servers with hundreds of people on them like that :(
i like the way the microphones work in this game

It's a mod, ACRE.
Great gameplay man, miss being in a realism unit but this summer I'll return to that..
You guys (Shacktac) into joined ops?
shacktac did do a thing with its ukrainian equivalent awhile back

^ What he said, you need to have the squad leaders doing it. The clan I'm in had a stealth operation where we had to infiltrate 3 buildings in 3 separate towns at the same time, undetected, and get out undetected.
It took an hour but it was the most fun I've ever had.

Join shacktac.
I hate how people here just think these are pickup games. Everything you see is from shacktac.

Well, Shacktac isn't a realism unit or milsim, our "moto" is Serious Fun. Meaning we can be serious when we need to, but we don't condemn having fun. If this was a stealth mission the way everyone acted including me would be way different.

Just join Shacktac, it isn't super exclusive or anything, Dslyecxi will accept most people as long as they aren't 12 and send a reasonably long application email that covers what he says to cover. You don't need really any experience with arma 2 at all. A lot of people join, but only a few make it past pFNG.

As arthuro12 said, it's a mod called A.C.R.E, it uses teamspeak and directional audio to simulate people talking in the world, rather than globally. It also has a really in depth radio system.

We don't as of lately because it's hard to find groups with the same state of mind like we have when we play. Most groups are milsim and we aren't into that, but if you know of a group like shacktac and doesn't take its self too seriously. Send me a PM. I'll forward it to Dslyecxi.

Sounds great, same here really just British themed and European based (but very flexible) I'll mention it!
Man, every time I see a video of this game, it just looks cooler and cooler. I seriously hope my computer can run it.
[QUOTE=Jackald;36499548]How do I go about getting on one some of this stuff? I've seen SharkTac videos before and it looks fun, but i'm a bit new at ARMA 2.[/QUOTE]
Shark Tactical :v: Its SHACK Tactical.
If you want to join read this page

My friend wants to join Shack Tactical, I am not sure about joining them myself since I am afraid they'd be like "OMG YOU DIDNT SALUTE ME FOFMSDFGJSG" or they'd get pissed if I do something wrong. I am probably wrong and I hope that I am, I am just scared of clans since stupid shit happened to me in the past. If my friend finds the clan to be nice and fun then I might try to join too.
I tried joining ShackTac. Got thrown out after a day because I suggested they should get better mirrors for downloads for their modpack. Overall they're way too focused on trying to force you to be part of the community, you HAVE to often talk to other people from ShackTac and you HAVE to often play with them if you don't want to get kicked out. You can't just force that stuff on people in your community.
not super serious at all
the thing w/ shacktac is that, they/we/shacktac want people to get involved in the community. not force yourself in and try to be cool on day 1, but take steps up until you're ready and bullshit bullshitbullshit
I signed up for shacktac a week ago and have still been waiting for a reply email. Hopefully I am accepted.

No, you got kicked out because you got mad because Dslyecxi didn't answer your question fast enough and was being disrespectful.

No, shacktac is nothing like that. If you ever see any of us doing that it's probably as a joke.
Still have to pick up Arma II sometime and join Shacktac, especially now that I have more free time.
Looks like a blast to play

Now the part about simkas being impatient and disrespectful sounds more like the real simkas to me :v:
yeah i talked to dslyecxi about it when i saw simka post about it awhile ago, what steve said
[QUOTE=stewe231;36504775]No, you got kicked out because you got mad because Dslyecxi didn't answer your question fast enough and was being disrespectful.[/QUOTE]
I didn't get mad at all, I first asked in their IRC about something that wasn't entirely clear in their guide and dslyecxi answered it, then I said how the modpack download from sixupdater was really slow and how it would be nice if they'd get some direct downloads for it or something and that's it.

If you fuck up you will just be summarily executed.
Nobody really cares if you make tiny mistakes unless you fuck up huge and ruin a game or something but in my short time at ST I've never seen it happen.
I've sent like 4 application emails and he hasn't replied to anyone of them.
