No Prestige Edition for PC Modern Warfare 2
Its sad when they wont even let me give them my money. I hope this trend of fucking over the PC versions in Collector editions as well as content stops soon. Its getting real old fast. Especially when they do it to franchises that had their popularity built around the PC. If it wasnt for the PC platform I highly doubt Call of Duty would of gotten as far as it did.
As i said I'm more pissed off about them just not fully supporting the PC platform then not getting the items them selves. It makes me very mad when i see the PC getting short changed again and again and again. Especially when its from games that made a name for them selves on that platform. Oh well. i guess i didn't need another giant head statue sitting in the corner anyway. But if the NVG turn out to be awesome quality then i will be madder.
Whoever buys the prestige edition is an idiot. What do people expect to do with them you're not Sam Fisher, their just gonna sit on your table and everytime you look at them your gonna realize what a waste of money they were.
i just want them to fulfill that little kid inside of me's dream of owning NVG. One trip to the bathroom in the middle of the night in the dark and it would of been worth the money. I guess I'm not so mad that we are not getting it. Its that the PC version doesn't get something that everything else does. It just always feels like a slap in the face to me when the PC version doesn't get access to stuff the other ones do. Its like them saying that they don't care enough about the platform to even bother to give it the same level of support as the others. Which in turn makes me not want to care about their game anymore.
I don't really care myself since I am going to get it for Xbox 360 and only buying the regular edition.

That means only buying regular edition of games. Hell, the last non-regular edition of a game I bought was the Legendary Edition for Halo 3 almost two years ago."

I am more interested in seeing the all-but-certain video on Giant Bomb of all the staff members trying out the night vision goggles.
i dont care, how old are you, honestly, to care about having half-assed Mattel-made NVG goggles and running around your neighborhood with them while everyone laughs at you?
Not to be an ass but I really don't get this prestige edition. It's like a product that's marketed to 14 year olds who arent even supposed to be playing the M rated game.
If you want it as a art piece to have on your shelf, then that's fine, but then it wouldn't need to be functional, and you wouldn't have to pay 3/4 of the price for it. Also, it doesnt look anything like a real ANVIS AN/PVS or Gen3 NVG goggle set so what's the point of displaying it.
yiiiieaaaa, I dont get it and dont care.

Well besides that we are not getting that version, we are being charged 10 dollars more than usual for a new game.

WTF
What a ridiculous thread. As a PC centric gamer you're used to spending ridiculous amounts of money on hardware. You wouldn't buy a cheap shitty gfx card would you? Then why would you pay $150 for a $80 pair of toy night vision goggles? You know how to use Google... buy a real pair and the standard boxed/digital edition. Either way you're overpaying.
edit: Hell, if they could charge you twice, they would. Notice they don't have a way to register you cd key with them and get a downloadable version like with EA and EADM? I'm expecting a download-only version of the MW2 multiplayer available for XBL and PSN that you'll have to buy if you want to play the MP without having to swap discs all the time. And the COD sheep will buy it, again.
That sucks for the people that wanted get PC from the begining. I was always going to go down the console path so I decided the extra was worth it for the Prestige no matter what the quality ofhe nvg's are. Because as Jeff said in the Bombcast. If they do turn out crappy and I trash them rough housin' well I still got the game and other crap to mess around with to absorb the cost. The bit of fun out of the nvg's its just a bonus.
" Are there going to be map packs released? Would the extra money being charged be to cover those? "Yeah I'm almost positive that there are going to be map packs released for it. I don't think anybody knows if they are going to charge for those on PC, but they were free in CoD 4 and World at War if that means anything.
You're pathetic if you refuse to buy the game because they got rid of the most expensive version for your console.
"All you PC gamers are going to pirate it anyways, what are you complaining about?"
Shut up, seriously, your making an ass of yourself.....
But there is no reason for it, and i want crappy NVGs damn it! Oh wait i was going to buy it on steam, well...... this still sucks
That sucks, I reserved it for 360 back in July. There's a lot of hate for it, and I think some people can't afford it so some people are jealous.
