As you all know by now, Infinity Ward is offering a pair of night vision goggles with the Prestige Edition of Modern Warfare 2 . As you also may know, British tabloid "journalists" love to insinuate that videogames and gamers are perverse tools of Satan, so it's no surprise that glorified comic book The Daily Star is claiming that the Prestige Edition goggles are for "pervy nights out."

 

"GEEKY computer game fans are set to become an army of ogling pervs thanks to a giveaway of night edvision goggles with an edition of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," writes respected journalist Ciarah Hannah. "... Hordes of joy-pad junkies are rubbing their hands in anticipation and some have already admitted they will use the

goggles for 'stealth dogging' and to spy on gay cruising spots."

 

The Star writer then quotes a pair of gamers who posted obviously joking comments on various blogs and attempts to portray them as serious testimonials and evidence that all gamers are perverts.

 

I think the most hilarious part of this story is that it's coming from The Daily Star, a scummy little rag that regularly prints pictures of naked women and even has a section on its site called "Babes" where anybody can look at a massive pair of breasts. The Daily Star also sponsors Television X, one of Britain's cable porn stations. So, for The Star to accuse anybody else of being an "ogling perv" is downright f*cking ridiculous, and just a little hypocritical.

 

Still, they don't play videogames, so they're obviously far more mentally stable than we stealth-dogging gay cruisers.

Can't be real, having it 3rd person completely changes what kind of game this is. I reckon it's just a spectator cam of some sorts.

 

My first thought exactly, however, a 3rd person-only mode (and only 1st person in others) would be interesting, at least.

I just don't think it's a great idea, I mean you have to approach the gameplay in a completely different way and it'll throw you off how you should play it, if i'm making sense.

 

I am glad it is restricted to one play type, i'll try it out but i'll stick with first person thankyou.

Well, if this is true about MW2's opening, it'll surely spark controversy,although it's a slight spoiler.

 

Okay, so apparently a video leaked on

this site, although it no longer appears to work. But remember that scene in the trailers; with a group of terrorists walking through the airport, surrounded by dead civilians? Well, according to people that have seen the leaked video, the game's opening involves the player taking the role of one of those terrorists, gunning down the said civilians. Opinions? Personally, it's just a game, so it doesn't bother me. However, the press will surely eat this up. ¬¬

What a dumb idea. I'm not sure what the point in that is, maybe a video of the terrorists killing innocent people is acceptable, but forcing you to do so is stupid.

The depiction of the chaos and innocent people is so 'well done', which makes it worse.

 

It is a videogame, granted, but that's going to create a shitstorm in the media. The press will ignore the fact that the game is about putting an end to the terrorists.
