Sameer, not a leader: *literally tanks several enemies and an exploding svest* Necip, actual leader: *smokes himself with his own grenade immediately*

Imagine if that was a real event. Hostage gets killed in a crossfire, cameraman gets shot, and the SWAT leader blows himself up, all in front of the camera, and the rescue effort ends with a boom. It's one for the history books. Well pretty much the exact same thing happened in my first run as well and I couldn't relate more lol

22:35 “The first suicide detonation of the map was not the enemy.” 🤣

This was one of your best videos in a long time, and you never disappoint. That ending had me ROLLING. Way to go out with a bang!

That leader was the antithesis of Drummer/Fili Seemingly experienced senior given command of an extremely dangerous mission, immediately granted a critical moment to act Proceeds to completely XCOM himself 30 seconds in on live TV

3:47 Pairs refering to a bathroom: "We have a giant death trap right here" I see you still haven't forgiven the game for the little bathroom incident...

Man....I swear these videos where everything goes apeshit are *just* as entertaining as the super-polished one-take CQB masterclasses that got me interested in your channel in the first place. Your reactions are genuine and hilarious. And the ending was heartbreaking. Great work on this one!

I have never clapped at my screen while watching a video before, but when Akeem made that shot against the veteran insurgent (after the heartbreak of losing Samir) I couldn't contain myself.

I think Pairs lost his edge when he saw those bombs. He saw the 30-second timer on the hostage at the beginning at went "we'll try this first, we have time to change our minds", but when he saw the minute-thirty timers on the bombs he went full-send and made bad decisions. I do get that in reality a massive explosive device is first priority and you won't know (nor can always trust) the timer, but I also think that in a real situation the sudden discovery of multiple large devices would call for reconsidering the entire assault, not a mad dash to defuse.

Imagine how much better that would have gone if your leader didnt off himself. I'm thinking the key is that you have to push that right side HARD while moving your assaulters up. Side note: that was Chris Hemsworth in Red Dawn. Not Channing Tatum lol.

I call this: the coalition advisor experience simulator

The comedic timing of that ending was absolutely perfect. Probably my favorite episode of DK2 from you so far. Well done

Girls: do men even have feelings? CP after loosing Sameer:

Absolutely agree. I have over 10+ tries on this map just to get to 3 stars. But well worth the challenge! and that ending! also, 10k to 100k! Let's go!

42:18, Actually they keep their shields up while reloading, it's just that that round was able to make it through his shield with enough force to kill him.

Sameer is a god damn Trooper, get this man a medal

3:47 "death trap"… the bathroom has scarred CPG for life i see

This is the best mission in door kickers, a complex situations, with a little explosive surprise. I will never forget my reaction to hearing the bomb, I started sweating inmediatly

I just love how this level has a comical number of different threats

26:15 The enemy is doing a great job demonstrating why violence of action is so important and effective, lol

Rookies: Legacy of Sameer and the end of Akeem

Good show. I swear one of your DK2 videos teaches more about IPB in CQB/Asymmetric warfare than 4 months at the school house in Huachuca. That last s-vest was a raw deal.

I've missed your extra long DK videos, very glad to have another. always fun watching it break down 😅

Fuck, yeah that whole building was rigged to explode. Makes sense they'd want to take the whole rescue force with them. It was a trap to begin with but damn you managed to hold on for so long. A moment of silence for Sameer and the gang

This map was really hard. It was going really well for me until the suicide executioner blew up and I lost like half of my squad.

Honestly, Nowhereaki SWAT absolutely cleaned up on this mission. From your Militiamen somehow managing to push into the compound and keep a cool head despite that crazy suppressive fire when I was expecting a massacre, to Sameer's badass demonstration of CQC with an LMG, to even the hitherto useless shield guy managing to stop multiple rifle rounds at 37:20. Plus Akeem's insane shot to seal the deal. I've been having a ton of fun beating the odds with SWAT, I really hope we get more maps built for them. Hopefully more cool weapons too! I'm holding out for a proper PKM. Also, if you want to read more on how Iraqi SWAT, SOF and regular army guys actually fought ISIS, *They Will Have To Die Now* by James Verini is absolutely essential. Verini embedded with Iraqi units during the push on Mosul and recorded what an absolutely insane fight it was. The Iraqi people are extraordinarily resilient and their soldiers are extremely tough. I can't recommend it enough.

This mission was a Pain to get 3 stars for me, after like 15 tries i finally got it, but i really LOVE this type of long missions of try and error, it makes me concentrate harder than the last restart, and I've been loving the SWAT units You're not anymore in a Quality vs Quantity battle, now you're more in a 1v1 scenario because you mostly are using regular soldiers and milicia instead of Spec ops or any sort of Specialize troops Little to no heavy armor and old or unreliable weapons

48:21 I fell out of the edge of my seat. Loved this run; new heroes, new unit types, new CPG episode! What's not to love? Keep up the great content ^.^

Reminds me of the hostage situation in Beslan in 2004. Except it had way more hostages and more insurgents and turned out real bad because of that. Sad story.

I love it! "How many fricken bombs are there?!?" 35:24 -- too many actually

I tried this level with my SOF team. The unknown threats created a increased tempo, logistical nightmare.

Crazy mission. Apparently I was so lucky with this one. First attempt, after nonchalantly defuzed all the (then) known bombs, and killed the last enemy in the hostages room with the time showing 03:59 and got 2 stars. Thought nothing of it. only on watching the replay, did i noticed the last bomb when i entered the hostages room through the locked door. it showed 00:02. killed last enemy exactly at 00:00. Bomb exploded in the background of the summery of the mission killing everyone hahaha

Lmao! Samir, No! 45:29.. the sadness in your voice.. can’t stop rewinding that part. Love watching you play this game.

In my playthrough, I positioned an element on the right side of the door. Support-by-fire from the gate. The element throws two flashbangs inside, and the support-by-fire shoots from behind the gate taking out all of the executioners and their support. The element moves in, freeing the hostage and securing a foothold in the front, throwing frags into the sandbagged area. In the meantime, I blow up the gate on the far left and establish a support-by-fire into the classroom. Back on the right side I clear the windows on the far right, and then fire a LAW at the opposite wall. That allows me to have a clear line of fire into the right most corridor. The rest of the game is slowly pushing into the structure with buddy teams and interlocking sectors of fire. I made a ton of mistakes in a lot of places, I wish this game provided a little bit framework for buddy team movement (e.g. you could have a 2-man buddy team with correct positioning of the security man) with being able to order things like hi-hi or hi-lo or strongwalling techniques. I feel like I'm constantly fighting to keep micromanagement and I leave sides of the doo What I do love about your video is that you accept the consequences and push through to achieve as much as possible. A lesser man would probably restart-scum until he gets this right (I'm the lesser man here;)

Literally the best war movie I have ever seen. The action, the tension, the heartbreak. It's all there. 11/10 would blow myself up again.

Sameer had one hell of a run! That door battle where he took out two guys, then he took out like 4 dudes in the corridor AND survived a suicide bomber.

Quick tip Pairs, if your troop is next to a door or window, the arrow or three dots above the "selection circle" lets you go back another tab to the running and what not. Hope this helps!

So I finally got this game last week. I've seen a good deal of these videos, which is how I found about the game, but it's been over the course of a year or 2 and so don't really remember exactly how these maps go. So each run is essentially blind. I go into these with the intention of watching you clear after I've beat a level to see the differences. This is the first map where I haven't been able to beat it and specifically looked for your video on it to see how I might do it better. Needles to say I was rolling the whole time, and waiting for your priceless reaction when you discovered the ass tone of bombs. I'm taking Samir in tomorrow for another run lol

I love this game. Haven't seen your videos in a while and it just randomly popped up on my feed and now I'm playing DK2 again. Wiped my progress and playing through the whole game start to finish. Just now getting to the harder missions with hostages and shit. Your initial planning and bringing the right equipment is so important.

I've played this one already a few times before watching this and oh boy it did not disappoint. Watching you struggle through this was amazing. One hint for the entrance. Get one guy on either side of the main gate. Get three ballistic shields stacked up against the door. Pop two flashbangs. One for the executioner, one for the two guys further behind. As soon as they pop get the two sharpshooters at the gate to pop in and kill the executioner and bomb vest. Then have the three shield guys move in around the hostage. Also, RIP Sameer

One of the best, i am serious, videos i watched this year. Thanks pairs! I laughed, i was shaken, literally my hole body was under extreme tension! I certainly felt yours too. Thanks man!

This is your most hilarious playthrough to date. I love it.

45:34 Pure anguish & heartbreak right there. RIP Sameer, the homie-est of homies. Edit; fuck that whole map, I'll do it when my SWAT team is maxed out lmao

When I did this one, I banged the first two from the main gate, fragged the two behind the sandbags straight away and made entry immediately through the front door, clearing the office and the two bathrooms. Probably looked great on the news camera. Once you hold that point they tend to fall pretty easily. The school yard is pretty easy, peek a sharpshooter out and take one of the guys in the fortified sandbags then pull back and wait with some guys pointed at the gate as a choke point. When they stop coming through the gate just send the sharpshooter out to take another one out and repeat, mainly focus on the inside because once that it taken the yard falls pretty easily.

Oh man, that was great to watch!!! I’d love to see you play this in coop, with areas spread among players.

Alternative title: controlled pairs losing his mind for 48:41 minutes straight

Wow. Absolutely the best use of 45 minutes of my life *Spoilers* RIP to Akeem and Samir, glorious warriors of the (former) Republic.

Love how the toilets are a „giant death trap“

I was logging on to doorkickers while I was watching this and when I got to the Home Screen the guy blew himself up in your game and I was like, “yup, not playin that map.”

I swear this has to be a comedy, I've never seen this channel before but this was the most hilariously inept clearance I've seen 🤣

At 38:42, the arrayed bombs will level the entire north building-- while CPG focuses down mid area threats... lol

42:20 Back to the land of the logical hahaha nice one!

The missions where you have a hostage that is killed after a certain amount of time are so difficult. You have to prioritize speed and that may require you to take some risks and potentially lose some men that would otherwise make the operation a little easier

Awesome video, founs content from 2 years ago of yours and this is a big improvement. keep. up the good work. I had a blast with your commentary.

This video was a roller coaster of emotions 😂 please make more of them again!!!!

That was absolutely mental. Way to fight to the bitter end.

As soon as he said "THEIR ARE TWO BOMBS!? THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE BRIEFING ABOUT BOMBS! HOW MANY ARE THERE" I cackled like a madman remembering my first time playing this mission. The answer to your question Pairs is YES...

SAMEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRR NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO That moment hit me like a ton of bricks lol good stuff man keep it up! this game looks awesome

Watch as controlled pairs experience the six stages of grief in half an hour

I have a question (stemming from the original door kickers that i have on my phone but i'm sure it extends into doorkickers 2 as well): what do you consider when choosing your loadout for your troops; or do you just leave their weapons selection default? 🇯🇲love the content CPG

this mission reminds me of the Beslan school massacre. absolutly impossible to do without a shit ton of casualties

"Alright, new priority: Don't let the freaking bomb explode!" Last time I laughed this hard on one of your videos was when you went for a two-man clear in a bathroom when a suicide bomber was inside.

this map is bananas. love to see you tackle it. i'm going to try myself tonight.

In the beginning: "they are dug in and prepared to die" A few seconds later: "if they going to have another s-bomber im going to actually cry!" Great video, chief! :)

Bye far you best commentary! I laught out loud multiple times. Pairs, you made m'y night

i was dying at every time he said "i will cry if" becuse i played this mission before he uploaded and i was like oh sweet naieve child

When I was doing this mission, I threw a smoke on top of the first hostage, ran him back to extract and sent a 4-man element right past the enemies and into the room on the left.

Sameer, the RPK God. He wasn't the hero that we wanted, but he was the hero that we needed.

Man I felt that tension in the last 15 minutes... And that ending totally took me by surprise lol

I love your long mission DK videos. Great commentary. “Nooooooo!” Lol

This whole vid is just pairs losing his mind more and more every passing minute.

Thoroughly enjoyed your take on this super-tough mission.

Every other Doorkickers 2 video by Controlled Pairs: "They're here!" This Doorkickers 2 video by Controlled Pairs : "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

That leader took one look at the situation and chose death

34:55 CPG When he wakes up in a cold sweat at 3:00 A.M:

Well, I didn't expect that ending. Although, I've should have at the rate this mission was going.

I really want to finish the mission with the Nowherakis SWAT team but got frustrated after like 10 tries and i be like "alright time to send in the Rangers".

I respect the swat team for not surrendering early and restarting

I laughed like 45 mins for every situation you encountered 🤣🤣🤣

This was a struggle. I used Rangers for lulz, and was able to do fine on that exposed hostage by banging both pairs of enemies and assault rushing them, the entrenched positions gave me trouble later, as well as the occasional suicide bomber taking a leak. Gonna try it again later today, I think by focusing the buildings first with most of the force and getting more angles on the courtyard areas for the final clear.

That gl going off on himself was lol

i was hiding the remaining video time so i felt that my dude.

This whole thing reminds me of what Captain Cold from The Flash used to say. "Make the plan, execute the plan, expect the plan to go off the rails, throw away the plan" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Love how this turned into saving private sameer 🤣👌

Your leader couldn’t live with the guilt after letting the hostage die.

I've never heard Pairs make that sound before... hope your alright lol.

This seems like an accurate depiction of intel briefs.

Lmfao what a video! I really like the more personal cheerleading you where doing for sameer, that was hilarious 😂

Dude, what the f was this? How many S vests, hostages and bombs do you want? Map: yes

someone que in "when you try so hard but you don't succeed" lol. Big F for that one my dude, loved it. Still gona cry for no replay at the and tho

The way I got it done was to stack up on the wall next to the window and use a bang with 2 rpks on support at the gate. Then took it hard and fast right through the front door to try and eliminate the first 4 before they knew what happened and establish some good angles

Man, Samir not only breaks the car, but he breaks doors as well!

Hey I just would like to say that I hope you upload more videos on combat mission content I really love them and I think the way u play it out is also really fun to watch. Thanks

This video is my current Favorite Video on KZfaq. I enjoyed it 100X more with every bomb discovered. RIP Samir :D I saw this as suggested viewing after having tried this mission and I needed to see how you did it coz it was borderline impossible when I tried it. Still have not figured out how not to get the TV hostage killed.

They really should add can cannons in the game to launch flashbangs and other throwables for missions like this

The best and worst ending all at the same time

45:03 had me rolling XD

Best cut to an ending of any video ever hahahaha 😂

I love that the leader blew himself up right in front of the news camera! Someone give that cameraman a raise!

DK2 Needs to fix the GL minimum arming distance issue. Grenadiers should not be blowing themselves up like that.
