Real Life Modern Warfare 2 Level


Recommended Posts

Thought this might be worth posting for you Modern Warfare nuts out there, as a gamer I thought it was a pretty interesting challenge.

The Gadget Show's Jason Bradbury goes head to head with an Ex Special Forces Operative on The Pit training exercise from Modern Warfare 2 for real.

The same number of targets, in the same environment, spaced exactly the same distance apart. Can Jason run 'The Pit' in a faster virtual time than a trained marksmen in the real world?

The clip can be downloaded here if it doesn't play for some reason.

Quite cool comparison! However in a real life situation, Sid's tactics would be the winning ones. Just barging in with your guns blazing will get no hostages saved..

Just watch it on Demand Five. The episode itself is up there.

Great comparison, I like how they used the same guns to make it fair, he could have M9/USP'd it and got something in the region of 11 seconds. :p

The clip can be downloaded here if you still want to watch it.

pretty cool

the real life soldier was using a GOW-style cover based 'static shooting position' while MW2 was more run and gun

i've heard somewhere that military training says that you dont shoot from the hip... i wonder if they have dissasembled the real life Pit by now? or maybe its being put to use... it has to be in a real life training ground area as well to be able to use live ammunition like that...?

Sid's static aim technique is because he's used to being a trained sniper. Trained snipers are ... well.. trained to sit, allocate targets and pop them off one at a time, not rescue hostages. Had he gotten someone who was a combat ready soldier that wasn't a sniper, this would have been a completely different story.

in all fairness if what they said was true and he was sas, it doesn't matter, they are trained for all round combat. Besides IRL you wouldn't rush real enemys like you tend to in the game.

When did you do your stint in the SAS mini? ;)

From what I can tell thats a .22 MP5 clone which of course has no automatic fire. This could have been at a regular rifle range I think as I "THINK" semi automatic .22 is legal in the UK, can't go any higher without being a straight pull or bolt.

edit: Just as I thought http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/live-firearms-and-shotguns/fantastic-german-made-gsg-5-h-k-mp5-clone-22-lr/prod_198.html

edit 2: reading on an airsoft forum, it was done at an airsoft site, was "tactically" edited and it is a GSG-5.
