Thanks to Tails & Pip for being such unhinged news reporters that I had to make a video out of their footage. On top of that Tails made his own commercials for the ad breaks, so all around fantastically fun to edit. Consider sharing the video to honor these Federation heroes!

It took us like 3 days to scour through the massive amount of nuclear cooked bugs guts to find the camera footage, it was like swamping around through demon cores to find this footage, in the end.... It was totally worth it.

Sees aliens: doesn’t react Sees fellow soldiers die: doesn’t react Literally dies: doesn’t react Sees glow stick: DA F*CK IS THIS

The camera man managed to look past their differences and befriend the bugs. How heartwarming.

I sacrificed my vocal cords for this one

The fact that this is such an effective horror story despite the Ignis fuckshit is a testament to the power of found footage/analogue horror. Also the cinematography.

13:38 It seems that the rule “the Cameraman can never die” is respected by even the bugs…

4:30 The Reporter dying to a stray bullet and not the approaching bug had me rolling 🤣

"We held FOB Invincible and Immortal with 0 casualties" *Doubt*

Anytime Jim was on screen I was at the edge of my seat. Absolutely compelling footage.

As someone who went to Kansas for a week, it does indeed feel like a void.

9:20 Jay screaming "Press! Get out of there!" in the distance makes this part look like an actual press filming gone wrong or a scene from a movie.

I like how the reporter had "press" on the back of his vest like the bugs would read it and not kill him

I couldn’t stop laughing Ignis being Ignis, Tails and Pip trying to be serious while having body guards made this an awesome starship trooper experience. Though I love the regular nonsense I need more to watch

Can we just appreciate how cinematic 12:24-12:53 is?

I like that in most of these, Jay plays the straight man to the general insanity of almost every other member of Ignis.

Am I the only one that finds it comical how the press team feels not an ounce of fear when a swarm of arachnids is breathing down their necks about to turn them into sushi, but is absolutely petrified at a lil bunny just lookin their way

4:36 love that instead of dying to the bug 2 feet away from him the reporter gets ventilated by a sniper’s friendly fire headshot.

Tails, Pip, and Jim have truly gone above and beyond for this video. They deserve their posthumous citizenship!

When a bug calls you "Friend" well..Sounds like brainbug time? On a side note anyone got the song at 13:56? :)

Jim is one of the best reporters in entire the sector. Truly inspiring work here! Glory to the federation!

From 12:35 - 13:07 the footage is just raw Battlefield footage, true cinema. 9/10 not enough screams of agony.

Did not expect that ending 😂

This needs to be a continued series over multiple universes/franchises following the news crew through different games/worlds, and with full character arcs

8:14 reminds me of Cloverfield 😂 Also: _Perfectly zoomed_ "Zoom in on that!" _Microscope level zoom activate_

That rabbit bit cracked me up every damn time

Not only is this ARMA group and Rubix hilarious, but Rubix or whomever is editing is also a genius at making it even more funny by adding edits. I can never stop myself from laughing overtly loud. That is a talent.

This whole thing feels like the Halo CE Helmet Cam cutscene

had some popcorn watching this, gotta say it was a treat! To see arma vids through the perspective of a random reporter on the field makes it all the more comedic as it does horrifying lol

Wow it really felt like I was watching brave federation troopers bring the fight to the bug menace! ...and then I remember that its Ignis... Which makes it even better!

The TV crews as always have infinite lives, no wonder they are so brave

"ARE YOU GETTING THIS!"

The fact the bug at the ending went FWIEND

Camera guy: *about to be killed* Bug about to kill him: *stops* “friend” :)

Such a fantastic op having to protect these two. This edit does it full justice

Would love to see more found footage style videos like this, especially with the press bois

I'm beyond honored my homestate was mentioned by our noble troops

"Friend :)" That is a conspicuous spot to end the broadcast.

Jim’s out there really doing his part.

The camera man is the only man to friend a bug, but he’s left without his boss. *sad small Violin song*

Oh so now we have Terry the bugman joining Tails the anomaly. Great.

That bug at the end said "friend" and probably kidnapped that man and took him to the backrooms, thats some fucking mysterious entity level shit right there and I am NOT okay with it

Jim is one of the best news reporters in the federation, I absolutely love his commentary. Long live the federation.

I like how there is a story with Jim as it goes on

jay suddenly showing up for a few seconds feels like passing someone you know on the other side of the street where you just quietly go "wait i know you"

…I love when Raptor uploads an Ignis vid…I know insanity will be ensue

Reminds of the scene from the ani matrix, almost exactly since at the start they were all hell yea then in the end it's just literally found footage and screams. Also loved seeing the camera man get domed by his own team, almost spat out my food.

The one thing more chaotic than normal Ignis: the news team.

This was great poor Jim though he must have been really tired too sleep trough all of that.

Who knew that the last camera man would be known as the first friend of the bugs… may his legend not reach earth for the brain bugs are probably going to try to use him in their plans.

Probably the greatest twist in found footage history.

If the intrepid news crew of Tails and Pip doesn't become a recurring theme on this channel or elsewhere then the world can just burn for all I care lol

Lore: Reporter is a ex soldier and being in combat has triggered his bug PTSD

I absolutely love this, I’d love to see more in like a “press perspective” in other ops too.

That was really really good! We need more of the reporters.

"Are you getting this?" is the Press' version of "would you like to know more?"

Outstanding, especially the last part where tails is recording everything by himself it turned into some sort of horror bit

Perfect. My daily dose of reporters violently getting eviscerated by megafauna.

Hell yeah! Glory to the sky Marshall!

I love this. The starship troopers movies are a guilty pleasure, and this is such a good fan recreation from an amazing op. Thanks for all the awesome videos!

The cube world joke was the best considering the timeline of this franchise 🤣👌

the bug saying friend was way more scary then you'd imagine

This is the kinda of content KZfaq was made for

why is this exactly what i didn't know i needed in my life

God, I was waiting for this one!

remember people, the only good bug is a dead bug.

when you want to hear screaming from the depths this is the one for you

Dang I kinda want more found footage stuff this was a delight

This is what I imagine when I invade a hive world in stellaris

Excellent format! It's like the Found Footage on 343 Guilty Spark, but wayyyy too comedic! xD

COME ON YOU APES, YOU WANNA LIVE FOREVER!?

Love this video format, well made as per usual Rubix

thank you for finaly uploading this!! benn waiting for so lang to see this!

Tails and Pip did a good job of capturing the chaos and madness of that Arma III op. Even the advert breaks! What sort of crazy fool makes his own ad breaks? Damn good video.

I need more videos like this! This was awesome! Man I loved every single second of this video

This is an absolutely fantastic experience from this perspective. I'd love to see future stuff like this. Not like all the time, but every now and then. It's great.

I didn't realize how much I needed chaotic Arma news videos until I saw this, pls do more!

This is so nice being able to see a new perspective to these operations not gonna lie.

Man, I’d love to see more videos in the style of this!

this Starship Troopers mod is awesome, its just missing some power armors, but I hope someone is working on them.

This was so hilarious! I only wish you had a press team for every op

This was amazing! The press boys were perfect,

This. Is. AWESOME!! I must have watched it a dozen times since you posted, and I swear every time there is something new to crack me up and/or horrify me to my very core as a human being... AND I LOVE IT 🙏

this is great lol. wouldnt mind some more found footage for other videas

that was sick good job

Bro keep up the great work your funny as hell👍

i love this, i used to love doing stuff like this. but i suck at editing and could never do this good of work. Keep up the amazing work!

love this video and the great community that makes them.

Love this starship troops content, can't wait to try out the new rts later

You know what would be funny if in the middle of one of these but operations the Mobile infentry and bugs suddenly get attack by mechs in Mechwarrior that would be great to see how your team adapts to that chaos.

This are absolutely amazing and more of this is a must

I just saw the starship troopers op yesterday so am very excited

Your finest work yet.

This was pretty nice id like a series of this kind of shenanigans

This is great seeing it from their pov

Such a great piece of journalism with Michael

I absolutely loved this

This was utterly fantastic :D

Love this sorta vibe.

Reckon Coska, Federation News Anchor: "Hello, I'm Reckon Coska and tonight we discuss the footage you just watched. The footage was from the battle of...what was that planet's name again? Harvin? Harvin VI? Ahem! The footage was of the Battle of Harvin VI where our heroic servicemen and women of the Ignis Corp took the fight to the Mormons and the Bug Menace. While our troops took *minor* casualties, they inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy. We go to our reporter at Harvin III who has talked to a few of the civilians to see what they think about the recent battle. Hey, Jack, who do you have with you?" Harvin III's Main Reporter Jack, Brother of Dessert Reporter Jim, "Reckon, I'm with Mr. Titus Polo. So Titus, how do you feel after watching the broadcast?" Titus: "I feel very patriotic now and I want to do my part. I'm going to go sign up for the Mobile Infantry. I hear Service Guarantees Citizenship." Reporter Jack: "Oh, another Patriot, glad to see even out here in the Outer Colonies, we have future heroes like yourself. Is there anything else you want to say?" Titus: "I've also heard that there is a Service Member and Veteran Discount for Patrick O'Connor, Attorney of Law at Law. Oh and Red Burger gives out free red burgers to Wounded Veterans." Reporter Jack: "You hear that everyone? Service Guarantees Citizenship and it also guarantees you discounts for Patrick O'Connor, one of our finest attorneys in the Outer Colonies and free Red Burgers for our heroic wounder veterans. Thanks for your time Mr. Titus, and I hope to hear of your heroic deeds in the next few years. Back to you" Reckon: "Alright, thanks Jack, and thank you to all past, present, and future servicemen out their fighting for the Federation. That's all on the Battle of Harvin IV tonight, now I ask, Would You Like To Know More?"
