  Smoke would make it look even less realistic
context: If more people played games fewer would be fooled by this sort of “footage” in the first place. Yeah you heard me right, save the world, play Arma. >
  
  Arma is at it again. This game has been fooling journalists and the public for many years.everyone with a pc good enough ahold try it. >
  
  ARMA 4 coming soon, I wonder how bad it will trick people once they've worked out the inevitable bugs and jank like burned out tank hulls being launched into orbit and whatnot. >
  
  ARMA Reforger has been fantastic as a technical demo of what's to come. ARMA 4 can be insane. >
  
  Must be a slow news day. >
  
  Its all about clicks nowadays. >
  
  I love how they do a deep analytical dive of the videos to verify if they are fake or real. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in 0.1 seconds being like, "Oh yeah, that's Arma" >
  
  I know, they could probably ask the local gamer in the office or newsroom and get an answer lol >
  
  Yeah but then when the article simply says “We asked Josh in IT and he said it was ARMA.” People would give them shit for barely investigating and not having any evidence other than “one of our people said so.” >
  
  As if they wouldn't rephrase it as: "we consulted our staff technical expert who readily identified the footage as being from a video game, they specifically identified it as being from the game ARMA" >
  
  Thanks for the link! 🙏🏻 Great points! >
  
  Should have took C&C footage for fear mongering.
  "Breaking News. Mysterious Sect kills beloved african leader Nikumba." >
  
  We need to give Ukraine a bunch of Prism tanks. >
  
  It is pretty wild that we've gotten to the point that regular game footage is good enough to be passed off as real war footage. Like i remember as a kid thinking how wild some of the Atari games looked, and now we got this level of shit. >
  
  As great as Arma is, it does not look even remotely realistic. That game is visually 10+ years behind the industry standard. How people think that this is actual war footage is beyond me. If this was footage from Unreal Engine 5 I would understand getting fooled. >
  
  Well, ARMA3 is 10 years old, so yeah.  
  Just make it pixellated, avoid closeups of anything, and lots of smoky or night shots.
