I don't think it was ever supposed to PROVE anything, it was merely done for fun, and entertainment. And if you ask me, it was rather fun to watch.Twad said:
Special Ops Officer, British Gamer Compete in Real Life MW2 Pit Test
- Thread starter Lauren Admire

Aww, I was rooting for Sid. Although, I'm sure the real life version is MUCH MUCH MUCH more difficult than the game version. Still, even I've done better than 35 seconds, and I don't own the game nor am I all that good at it.
As has been pointed out, the SAS character would have dominated if this was a real-life situation. When you're under fire, you don't run toward the people with the guns unless they're out of commission.
Though I can't imagine how badass working with that guy must have been. Special Ops soldiers are ridiculous.

This was really neat to watch. Some interesting bits.
- It was said that Sid (Let's call him The Stig. =D ) was SAS.
- As some pointed out, Sid treated this like the real thing, and took cover immediately, took his shots, and then moved up, where as the gamer simply ran out and shot things. In real life, one of those guys would have been dead, and you can probably guess who. =)
- While Sid probably did not have any experience with "the map", do note that he does have some intrinsic advantages, namely, full use of his senses. He has the full use of his vision (peripheral and otherwise) where as the gamer has only the POV offered by his screen.
- Someone pointed out on another forum that Sid should have tried to line up two targets with one bullet. Probably not something he would have thought of. The MP5 fires a subsonic round already (I think, correct me if I'm wrong!) and while technically it would be possible to nail two people with a single bullet, that second person would barely feel it (assuming it did him him!) It probably never occured to him to do it, because to try for it would be laughable in real life (well, with that gun, anyways.)
All that being said though, it was pretty amusing and neat to see. I gotta scratch my head that the hosts were actually keeping score (I mean really, are you going to celebrate your 360 skills in front of a guy who's holding the real thing???) but that they even did the contest in the first place was pretty sweet. =)

Semi automatic saves you bullets.colonel_alzheimers said:
also saves reload time which is almost wasted time.
That was awesome. Truley, i have nothing else to say.. mostely because im too tired to type. G'night if youre realing this.
SBS by any chance??? i think it would be more likely, the unsung heroes of the british special forcesEMFCRACKSHOT said:That SAS guy (I'm presuming he was SAS, i mean who else would you choose) was awesome.
one question, was that guy playing the game including his bonus's for accuracy? because if he was, then SAS guy may actually have won.
Also, 35 seconds isn't that impressive, i've done it faster
It's channel 5, not bbc, it is a free channel, but some people in britain dont even get it, the only good thing about the gadget show is the competitionshamster mk 4 said:
Accuracy bonus may have played a part. Should double check.
Also, you're terrible at the The Pit Gameguy. If you want a high score, everyone knows you take the M9 and USB. 45 w/Tac Knife, and don't reload at all.

Huh, so that part about him using the same weapon as the SAS agent fell on deaf ears I would suppose.Paragon Fury said:
Why questioning the authenticity of the soldier? I wouldn't suppose they would be that unscrupulous as show hosts as to get some random guy now would they?F8L Fool said:
3 things, firstly the guy playing MW2 was using a MP5k with a holographic sight and not an MP5 using a silencer and iron-sights, secondly they changed the sound effects in some of the clips for what ever reason, the MP5k sounds like a LMG from MW2 and the MP5 sounds like a revolver, thirdly, correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the Xbox (consoles in general) have a huge aim-assist that will instantly point at your target if you aim close to it?
Mostly entertaining but kinda pointless, and the narrating guy was annoying.

Oh waaa, waaa, waaa! Why is everyone complaining over a bit of fun?
I thought it was great. It showed me was that the SAS kicked ass, and that Jason Bradbury is worse at video games than I am! Go me!
