ITV mistakes Arma 2 footage for real life video.

This is kind of funny/weird. ITV has made a documentary about the IRA. But somewhere in editing something must have gone wrong, and the actual battle footage seems to have been replaced with a user made machinima of the same incident in the war sim Arma 2.

The Arma 2 clip starts at 0:36.

Depending on your location you might still be able to see the documentary here(If they have not removed it):

This is the real footage:

And this is the gamefootage they must have mistaken it with

How someone can fail to see that this is a game blows my mind.

haha. How the fuck could that have happened? ITV must think all IRA attacks are accompanied by the radio playing in the background. And why would anyone recreate that attack in a video game?

Could of been worse it might have been modern warfare.

Only just heard about this... seriously how does anyone make such a mistake.

That's really funny

Bravo ITV Bravo.

lol

Reminds me of this:

Anyone else notice the truck bug out and bounce off the floor at 44 seconds? Hilarious.

It was only a Armaless mistake...........

I once mistook Epic Yarn as real life. True story.
