The sad thing is that some people on that other board actually seem to think that they are going to get some decent NV equipment out of this.
-
Videogames.
-
is that a free token for COD Classic i see? oh that is so bought.
-
Yeah, that part is neat. The goggle is just embarrassing, fucking toys. I'd pay 1k for an LE with decent goggles, but this shit is just sad. Go nerds!
-
so all the LE version is just a gay steelbook? why not include the COD token...
-
oh that is so bought
-
oh that is so bought
-
i wonder how many budding jame gumbs will buy this just for the goggles
also, they're bringing COD1 to XBL?
BOUGHTEN (the XBL game, not the ghey goggles)
-
oh that is so bought
agreed
-
Is the first Call of Duty really that good?
-
its on a microsoft platform it is #1
-
it might not hold up that well as a single player game, but the MP could still be a blast (great maps)
wonder if they would include United Offensive with it? that's a really good expansion
-
nex gen perving brought to you by MW2TM
-
that would be an embarrassing display of fuckery to have in your home, why do people think that is cool
"Hey, nice MAN HEAD ya got there, champ."
-
put lipstick on it and tongue kiss it in the dark while wearing your ultimaghey night vision goggles
-
it will be as limited as halo 3 legendary was - which you could find at toys r us for $8 if you were lucky now
-
i don't have any interest in MW2, but i'd like to know more about COD "classic"
-
the hardened is $80, yikes
-

I would assume that classic means it's just COD re-released.
I realize that, but I'd like to know if the UO expansion is in there, and what kind of multiplayer we're looking at
-
holy crap. i want night vision goggles.
-
At least they didn't make it cat-sized.
-
Third gen NV goggles still go for about $3k (they talk about them on Coast to Coast all the time since they use them to see UFOs), so even if these are real they won't be that great.
-
if the price is right, why not. I've embarrassed myself before by having a Halo cat helmet in my room and having the batarang version of Batman preordered, so Modern Warfare branded goggles isn't too bad.
-
The only goofy piece of shit I have is the Big Lebowski plastic bowling ball.
-
and if I knew I would like Fallout 3 so much, I would have got the life sized pip-boy. At least I have a lunch box.
-
i can't talk too much shit with the vault-tec lunchbox and pip boy bobblehead sitting on my shelf, but you have to admit night vision goggles are sort of a creepy pack-in
-
Activision is appealing to the creepy, Virginia Tech massacre crowd.
-
If someone walks into your college - nay, your dorm! - wearing Modern Warfare 2 night vision goggles... get the fuck out!

aha - you assume green man won't also own the mw2 nvgs
in that brief moment when you share a laugh about both wearing them in the middle of the night, neck chop him before he realizes what happened

It's not even that it's creepy. The problem, to me, is that it's a fucking (cheap) kids toy, an embarrassing pack-in especially given the tone and topics of the game.

I get them slightly cheaper than that, but yeah, NV is expensive. I'm going to guess that this is just basic illumination, like NV on video cameras and in those shitty "spy goggle" toys.
-
:lol I just remembered that this is Activision. They really are trying to pack in a plastic toy with all their games.

the first game ended with a comedy rap in the credits

Sure, but the content up until then was nearly completely humorless, focused on the intensity of war complete with crawling enemies and executions, and had a generally very somber tone. I'm not sure what MW2 is going to be like, but I sure as hell don't associate it with rad EyeClops goggles, ads aired between Coco Puffs and Heelys.
-
well, I hate to defend them and am not entirely sure on the direction of the game, but the teaser trailers were all about night vision and shit, so maybe it's a theme.

A theme pushed with MW2 branded EyeClops. It's plain lame, dude.
-
They should make you use them and have the enemies spam flash grenades on you.
-

You got the best version, the Pip-Boy isn't all that great. The plastic seems really cheap, and it runs on 3 AA batteries which it drains in about five days, so not really all that useful for a clock.
-
the pipboy sells on eBay for almost the cost of the limited edition it came with itself
edit: or that might have been the bobblehead

I played COD1 again last year. Still balls awesome, honestly it is probably going to the the best thing in the whole "box", if you will (I don't like the modern warfare style setting that much).
They should just do United Offensive as a 800 point add on later. It's awesome too.
-
I love how in the YouTube unboxing, Robert brushes off the standard edition like it's nothing you should be spending your money on. Hardened for me, most likely.

would have to be the pipboy which was amazon exclusive.
if not i'd be happy to sell my bobblehead

I've still got COD4:MW shrinkwrapped at home. How much am I missing out on?

a lot

If he plays it online. Singleplayer is either too easy or too masochistic/cheap.
-
um... so

Meaning there's a heap of difference between Easy and Normal or Normal and Hard settings?
-
just a little. do veteran and put some hair on your nuts.
-
"There really is nothing like a freshly-shorn scrotum; it's breathtaking. I suggest you try it."
I hear the final level is ball-breakingly, controller-throwingly, kick-a-puppy difficult on Veteran.
-
No it's not hard on Veteran. The enemy accuracy is just ramped up and your health is lowered but the AI is simple enough that that's not actually a problem. You just crouch when you get hit, shoot a few guys, run forward past the respawn checkpoint, repeat over and over and over again.
Time limit levels are real ankle-grabbers though. You pretty much have to spam flashbangs and run away from the enemies.
-
Nintenho, wtf are you talking about? He said the FINAL LEVEL aka Mile High Club.
-
Grenades make veteran a bitch in Call of Duty.
Hardened edition shall be mine.
-
Functioning night vision goggles for $80 :lol
I bet it's just ordinary green glass (or even plastic).
-
Nintenho, wtf are you talking about? He said the FINAL LEVEL aka Mile High Club.
I was answering the question he asked before about the ramp up in difficulty levels.
-
Actually, thanks for the insight to both of you. I don't know if the "final level" is the last of the singleplayer or some additional bonus content or what. I know if I got to the very end of sp on Veteran, and then couldn't finish it, I'd be pretty pissed. Probably pissed off enough that I'd not re-play the entire game on a lower difficulty level just so I could finish it.
I like games that allow adjusting difficulty level on the fly, or at least at the beginning of each chapter.
-
the "last" level that people complain about was the one that takes place after the credits, it's not related to the main story.
It's a bitch.

while playing COD4 last night, some peeps who worked at Gamestop were claiming that the night vision goggles are real and work up to 50 feet.
take that for what its worth. I have no clue if what they are saying is factual or not.

That's OK, neither do they.

I figured as much, but I play pretty often with these guys (6 man Gold Cross 55s vs the world) so I figured I'd just say cool and let it slide.
Edit:
Hell, I guess this is where they got that info from:

it seems like Activision knows classy PC gamers aren't into this shit, so the goggles are only for consoles. also means there is no version that comes with CoD1. and they still suck for charging $60 for the PC version when all PC games cost $50 or less.
