Modern Warfare 2 To Ship With Mother Effing Night Vision Goggles

Regular, Hardened, and Prestige editions give you a choice this November.

By Jeff Gerstmann  |  July 13, 2009

Dude, the high-end edition of Modern Warfare 2 is going to come with functioning night vision goggles. That's the mostest baddest-assest game pack-in thing of all time. I wonder if they'll fit on my Master Chief helmet...

The goggles ship with the highest version, the "Prestige" edition. A lesser edition called "Hardened" will also be available for $79.99. Both of those will come with a download token for Call of Duty Classic, a downloadable version of the first COD game, as well as an art boox and some other stuff.

Check out this video of Robert Bowling unboxing this thing for more details, and notice that only the standard edition seems to say "Call of Duty" on ithe box.

that's not quite as useless as the halo helmet

I think the best part is that they're not all that noticeable on you're face.

Funny... night vision goggle didn't really impress me. Being able to download the original Call of Duty. Now THAT'S awesome.

It would be awesome if you could use those NVGs in the game! Oh my god, the advantages that you'll have!!!

lol, those night vision goggles are like those toy goggles that have been so popular lately.

This is cool I guess... But why night vision goggles?

like i said in that other thread. 
its going to be fucking hilarious with all of the youtube videos of nerds wearing those things running around at night. 

how many dumbasses are going to think they'll work when you play the game with the lights turned off?

I am now gonna get the Hardened edition, especially with the original CoD coming free with it!
Mattzz10on July 13, 2009 at 8:24 p.m.
