The video is here! And it’s going bananas! See our real-world version of The Pit from COD:MW2 in this trailer for my challenge on next week’s ep of The Gadget Show - and make your own minds up how like the game it is. We built the level in three sections, in order to comply with health & safety (real bullets get local councils a little hot under the collar). All I will say, before the full challenge airs, is that ‘Sid’, our anonymous spec forces soldier, cleared the building - front door to jumping and hitting the ground - in 10 seconds. Incredible. I’ve chucked up some stills here. UPDATE: A few commentators have pointed out that the gun used by the spec forces guy in the MW2 challenge wasn’t an H&K MP5, as I stated, but rather a GSG-5 (.22 caliber). I’m actually gutted about this error - obviously, I’m not a gun expert and was only going on what I was told to say about the gun. Referring to Killzone & Gears as FPSers, however, was my bad - I was obviously having a blonde moment!

And u think I don’t know that! 
Obviously I had to use the same gun as my spec forces advisary - H&K MP5. Pistols would have maxed my time but made the match pointless.

The challenge was awesome! i just had to go and try and beat your time though haha. I did it on the PC, not that that should be much of an advantage to a true gamer

Thanks for all your comments. I know many of you could smash my time in ‘The Pit’ but I was really happy with 35.8 secs as it was strictly controlled and I only had one recorded attempt. I got times of over 45 secs during a couple of practices & that’s why I literally jumped for joy at 35!
Oh, & I’ve put an update on my more recent MW2 post (above). Turns out we weren’t given the right info about the gun our spec forces chap used. It’s not an MP5, but rather a 22 caliber GSG-5. I hate getting things wrong. It clearly upset a few peeps on some forums. What can I say, other than we try our best wherever pos and sometimes get given bum info.
And for the record, ‘Sid’ was a really nice guy and very happy with how we did things. I spent a lot of time chatting with him about his ‘real’ life as a soldier. Top bloke!
Overall, as five mins of TV goes - I think it was spectacular and it’s really cool that it’s receiving global web coverage!
