Derrrrrr - people who don't check their sources
Great story from
PC Gamer magazine:
ITV documentary can’t tell the difference between gaming and reality; mistakes Arma 2 for secret IRA film
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.
If you’re looking for the footage in the documentary in the ITV player – it’s online here. The footage is in place from 28 minutes, 20 seconds.
Links to the video in the source article. Unh... You have to be a special kind of stupid to not be able to tell the difference between a video game and real-life footage. The video game is aliased but has a lot clearer points of view and steadier camera.
The game ArmA 2 website is

Talk about great advertising...
