The first real mission in Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 is The Pitt challenge. This training ground let's players find their feet while storming an assault course packed full of fake enemy targets. The UK's Gadget Show which airs on channel 5 has actually built a real-life version of The Pitt map (h/t Kotaku) and intends to put it to the test next week when the show's presenter goes head-to-head on his Xbox 360 with a Special Forces soldier who will be tackling the course for real.


The results of the challenge will be able to be seen on March 22nd if you live in the UK, but knowing the "power" of the Internet, it'll likely be posted shortly after.




Bryn says: This is awesome. I'll certainly be tuning in to check out the results (I've got a bit of a thing for Special Forces live footage.) And it's pretty impressive that they've recreated this level especially for the show. Wonder who'll win? My money's on the guy that can easily sit at the back of the shooting range and pick off the targets without even moving a muscle. Guess we'll see.
