Bohemia asks fans to stop sharing fake news war footage made in Arma 3
Bohemia Interactive, developer of military simulation game Arma 3, has asked fans to watch out for edited in-game videos being shared around social media that are falsely labelled as real-world war footage.
Arma 3 gameplay videos have a history of being mistaken for real-world footage - even by professional news organisations - and this problem has only increased since the current conflict in Ukraine has begun, Bohemia said."While it's flattering that Arma 3 simulates modern war conflicts in such a realistic way, we are certainly not pleased that it can be mistaken for real-life combat footage and used as war propaganda," Bohemia's PR boss Pavel Křižka.
Bohemia has issued a guide for fans looking to distinguish between real-world footage and in-game Arma 3 videos. Things to look out for include"very low resolution", a"shaky camera" and incidents shown taking place at night to hide Arma 3's"insufficient level of detail". A video version of this with examples is included above.
