Gadget Show Build ‘The Pit’ In Real Life


The guys over at the Gadget Show on Five (UK) have gone ahead and built their own real world version of ‘The Pit’ – the training level from Modern Warfare 2. Even better than that, they will be running a “Modern Warfare 2 Challenge” where an SAS soldier will try to beat Jason’s game time on the real world course!
The shows presenter, Jason Bradbury, writes on his blog that the level took a week to build and is to “exact specification”.
In what has to be the ultimate homage to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 – we built ‘The Pit’ level. It took over a week to build, to the level’s exact specifications. Better still, with me on my Xbox 360 version of the game, I challenged an actual Special Forces Soldier to a race from the start of the level to the end, taking down targets (and avoiding civies!) Live bullets and genuine heart stopping action in my most amazing gaming challenge ever!
Check out the trailer below, the full show including the The MW2 Challenge will air on Channel Five (UK) on March 22.

I watch this show every week and I just cannot wait for this challenge. It’ll be interesting to see if they can beat it in under 30 seconds. My best was something like 26 seconds.
I would love to give this a go in real life!
