From the fuckboys that brought you "We mistaked GTA cheat codes for Qur'an." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvXtPk8gjYE) comes this hot news.

A Haber ran a news story regarding Turkish Army's effort against the terrorist down in South. But they used in-game footage from Arma, without disclaiming it.

They also put Ubisoft-style, fake radio chatter and shit I am laughing my ass off here.

This is the segment.

Look at the thermal imaging. The real-life ragdoll is uncanny. 10 seconds in you can see the bloody targeting reticule lmao.

And this is the actual gameplay footage.

Channel since pulled the video from their website.

Reminds of that time a documentary used ArmA 2 footage and believed it to be a genuine encounter.

Of course, this is worse since they actually took gameplay with people voice chatting in the background and replaced the audio with fake chatter and new sounds.
