[release][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6r-kNct630[/media] Here’s an upload of a video from a recent ITV documentary into Colonel Gaddhafi’s support of the IRA. It contains shocking footage of a helicopter being shot down using weapons allegedly supplied by that baddie. Except. Umm. It’s actually ArmA 2. Words. Fail. What. How. For goodness sake. UK media, can you stop being shit please.[/release][url]http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/09/27/itv-documentary-cant-tell-the-difference-between-gaming-and-reality-mistakes-arma-2-for-secret-ira-film/[/url]
And this is one of the many reasons ITV sucks.
Oh wow, what idiots.
Oh god amazing.
This is insanely stupid.
Well ArmA 2 [i]does have[/i] some pretty snazzy graphics.
Guess the graphics are almost like reality

So now the question is, were they stupid enough to think they could get away with using footage from a computer game, or stupid enough to think it was real?
If only ITV went down with The Sun.
Oh wow, look at that vehicle at 0:44 in the video What
[QUOTE=Chrille;32503988]So now the question is, were they stupid enough to think they could get away with using footage from a computer game, or stupid enough to think it was real?[/QUOTE] Probably thought they could get away with it, where did they get 1988 from? Likely they just made up a bunch of shit and expected people to eat it up.
[QUOTE=Tobba;32504012]Oh wow, look at that vehicle at 0:44 in the video What[/QUOTE] Yeah I noticed that too.
[QUOTE=s0m3_guy;32503999]If only ITV went down with The Sun.[/QUOTE] Ignoring that it was News of The World that was shut down. I find it ironic that PC Gamer wants ITV to not be shit when PC Gamer in itself is shit.
It's not like it matters all those horrible video games are like reality they all teach you to kill!!!!!!!
Whoever convinced them this was real is the best troll of all time. I mean... it doesn't even look that good! How do you get tricked by that!?
I guess you can get tricked by that if your idea of video games is games that look either very pixelated or GTA

This is one of the real clips, not sure on the year though. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oz-o5_tn70E[/media]
Remember back when terrorists had camera phone in 1988? Me neither.
Such noobs
Now if the graphics settings had been higher. [QUOTE=Lebowski;32503980]the news casters all need glasses because if real life looks as blurry as ArmA 2 on all high does, then they have an issue[/QUOTE] Set your display resolution to match your rendering resolution in the options if your ARMA is blurry.
Someone show them Spore, they'll shit themselves.
Not the first time this has happened, the lybian rebels got their crazy technical designs from playing battlebus. But seriously ITV, this is Daily Mail style tomfoolery.
At 0:42 a soldier lies down under the big truck and it jumps up.
I'm pretty sure they cut out the authentic IRA voices. MAN 200 metres at GRID 19595

Best fuck up I've seen since The Sun accused rockstar of making a GTA Raoul Moat game

Jesus, they blurred the "footage" and everything, and the physics make it even funnier.
