From GI.biz: "Back in October, a video clip started doing the rounds on social media, showing what appeared to be the Ukrainian artillery attacking Russian tanks. The footage was shared thousands of times across social media platforms.
There was just one small problem; the footage in question was not real.
It was, in fact, a video of gameplay from Arma 3, a military simulation title made by Czech studio Bohemia Interactive.
This is far from the first time the game has been used to fake footage of warzones. In the past, Arma 3 has been used to spoof videos of conflicts in Afghanistan and Syria, as well as military action between Israel and Palestine. It’s even been used to fake videos of a fictional war between India and Pakistan. This isn’t even the first time that footage of the Ukrainian war has actually turned out to be Arma 3 footage."
When these videos make their way into mainstream news it just shows me how incompetent these networks are. You could blame YouTubers, click bait titles, you could try to do something about it as the dev, but these are huge news networks with a lot of money poured into em and hundreds of employees. Perhaps if they weren't so set on being first they'd ensure that they aren't putting out fake footage as often as they do.
Precisely picking off your targets from a great distance while they never suspect a thing feels extremely satisfying and fun in games that execute the sniper concept well. Here are five such sniping games that are insanely satisfying.
Google maps vs Arma 3 XD Who will win?
This isn't really anything new. While a worthless game, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising's Skira Island was actually identical to an actual island named Kiska in the Aleutian Islands of Alaska.

Except the real-life locations don't have terrible, inconsistent framerates on even a great system.
