Who we are
Black Screen Operations is a group of friends from across Europe who first linked up in the fields of Arma — and never really logged off. Years of ops, wipes and late-night comms later, we've gone from squadmates to genuine friends, with real-world meetups to prove it.
These days you'll find us in everything from modded Minecraft to Helldivers 2, DCS, Battlefield, and whatever indie co-op gem someone drags into the Discord that week. Also: unreasonably big Warhammer fans.

Managed Democracy
Helldivers 2
Spreading liberty across the galaxy, one friendly-fire incident at a time.

Rotating Slot
Indie Co-op
Deep Rock, Lethal Company, whatever's next — if it's co-op from a small studio, it ends up on the list.

House rules

Adults only. Questionable decision-making remains optional but common.
Zero toxicity
Banter, yes. Bile, no. We're here to have a good time, not to win arguments.
Mics required
We run on comms. If you can hear us, we want to hear you.
Friends first
The games are the excuse. The people are the point.
FAQ
How do I join?
Click the Discord button, hop in, and say hi. That's genuinely it — someone will get you sorted with roles and point you at whatever's being played that night.
Do I need to own all the games?
Not at all. Own one thing on the roster and you're in business. Most of us dip in and out of different games all the time.
Do I need to be good?
No. We're friendly and welcoming, not tryhard. Nobody's checking your K/D — we've all been the person who teamkilled the squad with a misplaced grenade.
When is everyone online?
Mostly European evenings, with weekends busiest. We're spread across EU timezones, so there's usually someone around.
Is there an age requirement?
Yes — 18+. And you'll need a working microphone; voice comms are how we play.
