  • A viral video, claiming to show American snipers shoot terrorists from two kilometers away is fake, as the clip has been culled from the game-play of a video game. The 2 minute 46 second long video's origin lies in a video game called 'Medal of Honor', a first-person shooter game released by Electronic Arts in 2010. In the game, players can experience a gamification of the military operations carried out by United States forces in Afghanistan through the eyes of the protagonists, with the storyline being based in 2002. BOOM received this video on its helpline (7700906111). The video -- showing a military sniper taking aim and shooting individuals while toggling among various thermal imagery -- can be watched below.
