Hosts discuss returning to the game, first game nerves, and their intent to join the Elite Series.

Jackfrags and Will dive back into Battlefield REDSEC, chasing chaos, tanks, and drone intel in a high‑octane, back‑to‑back session.

Summary

Jackfrags invites Will to play Battlefield REDSEC after a few weeks away, and the duo treats each game like a frantic pilotos’ race. The session centers on dynamic vehicle action, including driving tanks, sabotaging enemy rides, and chasing airdropped loot. They reference an Elite Series trial, joking about showing up without practice but still aiming for a top finish. Throughout the round, they rely on drones, mini‑maps, and artillery strikes to swing engagements in their favor. The action bounces between close‑quarters warehouse corridors and open street fights, with multiple teams, beacons, and mission drones adding tension. A memorable lighthouse and helicopter moment caps a late‑game scramble, demonstrating the game’s unpredictable flow. Will recovery and map exploration lead to another win, or will the next skirmish rewrite the odds? The chat also veers into casual banter about Assassin’s Creed and driving games, underscoring the friendly, high‑energy vibe of a long‑time duo. Overall, the video captures the chaotic charm of REDSEC’s open‑world battles and the thrill of improvisation under pressure.

Key Takeaways

  • First game back on REDSEC after weeks away; the session quickly shows how vehicle chaos shapes fights (tanks, rip‑throughs, and sabotage).
  • A sabotage play can instantly tilt a skirmish: destroying a tank kit and forcing enemies to abandon a vehicle dramatically shifts momentum.
  • Drone reconnaissance and beacons drive critical decision‑making, with players reacting to on‑screen intel and on‑map indicators to lock down targets.
  • Artillery strikes and vehicle drops create dynamic knock‑around moments, from close‑range firefights to big‑picture map control.
  • The duo’s banter and willingness to adapt (joking about Elite Series, discussing Assassin’s Creed, and riffing on driving games) keep the session engaging while they chase a win.
  • Memorable set‑piece moments include a tank takedown, a high‑stakes lighthouse encounter, and a hard push through cluttered terrain that tests both players’ reflexes and teamwork.
  • The overall vibe celebrates Battlefield’s chaotic, emergent gameplay rather than a single perfected sequence; it’s about making smart plays in a fluid battlefield.

Who Is This For?

Essential viewing for fans of Battlefield 2042 and REDSEC who enjoy co‑op play with improvisation, vehicle chaos, and quick tactical adjustments. If you crave high‑energy commentary and back‑to‑back action, this video scratches that itch.

Origins was the Egypt one. Odyssey was the Greek. I loved it cuz I love history. You see, I love history. So, the thing I love the most about Assassin's Creed is just being able to walk around the historical locations. Didn't they have that mode in Origins as well? They added that where there's no combat. You can just walk around and learn stuff. Oh, incredible. You can basically be there anyway. Really? You know, you you decide if you want to drink, bring the heat. No, but I'm looking forward to that for sure. Definitely be playing that full Assassin's Creed Black Flag playthrough. Maybe I'd watch. That'd be good. Good time. All right, second game on. Let's go in the basement. All right, this is very much a high risk, high reward sort of scenario. Entrance there. You see my ping? I see it. If I just drop, does it auto pull my shoe? They got a pullet. It's very hard to judge where it is. As you can see, hopefully no one drops on us and kills us. They came in the other door. So, they're going to be in here and they're going to be south. Roger that. Or is it north? Nothing south. Big UAV. Oh, in the server room here. Oh, that's very good. Popping it. Need eyes on my load. I've got two LMGs. I mean, look at this. Is Is this not Easter egg with the the smoke? Very Easter eggy. Imagine all the horrors that they could deploy down here. Velociraptors, T-Rex. Yeah, maybe. You think they've got a lot of that coded up? No, but they could, couldn't they? They could code that in. Couple of couple of dinos. Couple of dinos. It's been rumored for years. Dinosaur crossover. I wonder if I Try and up the staircase. Fight them. I don't think we've ever been here, have we? Oh, here you go. Here you go. How you go up? They got tugs up. I think I'm a bit tuging. Heading off the wall so they don't push. Got a hit. I'll equipment destroyed with that. Yeah, you got their tugs. They're off to the right crouching the staircase. See that? That's the right as well.

Have you got a second chance? Yeah. Yeah. I'll just skip. There's like 14 down there. I just crawled past a vehicle key card on the ground. The guy you killed. Planting one's coming to the zip. I fell down. [ __ ] He went back down. Going back up. Coming to you, Will. Okay. Okay. I can mine in the top. Okay. They absolutely got outplayed there. I can't believe that they just fell for that. CL it. He's coming. What? He died. Yeah. Someone just parachuted. Did that do any damage to him? Yeah. Claymore exploded and I gunned him. I don't think it did any damage to it. Oh [ __ ] there's another one down there. I thought so. It's really hard to like aim anything down there. I know. It's just pitch black, isn't it? You can't do anything. I got another mine. I'll put one here. We've got to move south. Yeah, I'm doing it. Couple kills just came in. Up here. Up here. Two teams. Got a drone here in a second. Just hold this little area. One down. Nice. There's more. There's more. You want to push this? Uh, yeah, maybe. I'll have a little look on the left. Who was he fighting? Unless he down the guy. Tugs. It was an insta kill. Let's dip around right here, Jack. Let's avoid all this. Can they take the mission rewards? I don't know. That would be very bad if they can. I just heard your character say tank destroyed. Well, that zone's coming in, isn't it? Bad. They're outside left now. Outside left. Oh, yeah. Oh, someone Oh, someone right just shot. Oh, I'm so bad with the sniper. God damn it.
