Modern Warfare 2 : Prestige Edition

£3000 for a set of military NVG's isn't it? So I'm guessing this will cost £3040. Even if the NVG's aren't military grade, because we know they'll still rip you off.

They're gen 1, the ones with the game are almost certainly gen 0 and rely totally on active IR.

IE: No, the game ones will be worse

You can get a gen 1 binocular without headset for £75. Even cheaper if they are ones made in China.

Strife212 · 14 Jul 2009 at 17:23

Had no idea you could get them that cheap

jmc007 · 14 Jul 2009 at 17:27

Saw this on a forum.

One of these days some person out there who has been buying all these ridiculous things is going to snap.

Strife212 · 14 Jul 2009 at 17:30

Ahaha

I was thinking of that myself.

jmc007 · 14 Jul 2009 at 17:32

Apparently though, I am inclined to be with you Strife212 and that they are a gen 0 toy.
We'll see.

Hmmm...i would probably end up in prison if i had a set of NVG... :/

Giving endless thousands of teenage boys night vision goggles is really going to **** with the world's chi.

One for the truly nerdmongerish losers of epic proportions methinks.

It's a bad boy.

Rich geeks whose mum or dad will tell them off for having their bedroom lights on after 9pm.

And as usual the emphasis is on the console version. Amusing how the pc was the platform that made that series take off and all we get now is watered down ports.

Would what make this game amazing, is if monitors could realisticly give off IR. That way game is always in normal vision, and if the player wants night vision he has to put on his own NVGs in real life, not ingame.

HAHA!...i like the idea but that would just **** me right off haha..just think of how many times you would get shot and the words that come out of you're mouth would be 'F*&k Sake, i was just putting on my goggles'

Or at a crucial moment your NVGs go dead and you have to go AFK to rush off and find 4 AA batteries.

The guy talking sounded very erm, nerdy .

Nerdy? He sounds like he had a stroke that prevented him from finishing junior school.

Chimerical · 14 Jul 2009 at 19:55

Tbh, I'd prefer to just download it straight off Steam. No disc and no packaging.

Oh come on, the CoD series is hardly the most complex of games. How the hell can you 'water it down'? The only simpler game I can think of is that flash based helicopter game where you click the mouse button to increase altitude.

You've obviously never played the first pc only cod then compared the gameplay to cod2 which was a multiformat game.

simpletom · 14 Jul 2009 at 20:56

I have played the first and the gameplay has remained virtually identical. It is a tried, tired in fact, formula that works. All they do is, on occasion, change the setting and/or graphics. Othewise, it is being herded down a corridor/street/whatever, from one set-piece to another.
