ITV documentary can’t tell the difference between gaming and reality; mistakes Arma 2 for secret IRA

This is pathetic. I wish I could believe that someone added this footage in afterwards for shits and giggles, but it's sadly not true.

Wasn't that something along the lines of someone created a funny/fake cover for a game and a reporter (only using that as evidence) took it for real and created an article? Also, I think it might have been the Daily Star, not The Sun.
Now I know what I'm going to do when Battlefield 3 comes out.
1. Buy game
2. Upgrade computer
3. Set graphics to max
4. Send footage to ITV

You're right it was the daily star, I got mixed up since they're essentially the same news paper.
Viral marketing for BI devs!

The video didn't even look that real
Yes, in real world smoke trails look like blurry ink splotches... and military cars back in 1988 had hydraulics.
[QUOTE=Rocket;32511395]Video was removed :([/QUOTE]Yeah, anyone got another video?
I've not done it for years, but you used to be able to watch videos on youtube caching sites. E.g. stuff taken down an hour ago, would still be on the site. Idk google it.
I was just reading a newspaper (the mirror) and this story has taken up an entire page somewhere inside. ITV are calling it a "human error".
How can you be that fucking ignorant to believe that a fucking VIDEO GAME is a secret IRA video? Mainstream news is getting dumber by the fucking minute.

This isn't news, its a documentary series. Which makes it even worse, if they had done some proper research (like watched the clip) they would have noticed.
We should send them clips from Splinter Cell, Ace Combat, Call of Duty, and Battlefield.
