Posted October 13, 2009 (edited) 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. off http://www.destructoid.com/ Edited October 13, 2009 by flameboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 13, 2009 The funny thing is, the peoples who posted on the forums, stating what they would do with them, are clearly stating it tongue in cheek. Im surprised the Daily Mail didn't write this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 26, 2009 Meh, does it really need 3rd person option? I dont think so! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2009 euhhhhhh third person, really, whats the point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2009 Seems to be clarified you can only play 3rd person in those multi modes only. You cant switch in and out for some corner peeping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 26, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 27, 2009 It's been confirmed. All we thought we knew was true; Only in 3rd Person playlists, and not available in single player. Sorted then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2009 Looking good. Cant wait. Want to platinum this by christmas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 27, 2009 There is one Third person mode, if you don't like it, you can play the dozens of other modes lol. Just seems like IW want to make this something really special and have thrown in everything including the kitchen sink! The Ghost comic looks great too.

Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) 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. ¬¬ Edited October 28, 2009 by CoolFunkMan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2009 Hmm, I highly doubt that's true... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2009 Hmm, I highly doubt that's true... Its from the same source that leaked the 3rd person playlists, and that has now been confirmed as true. Its a very brave move by IW, because the resulting media shitstorm is going to be phenomenal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2009 From now on, any discussion about storyline or plot leaks is to be kept in spoiler tags guys. Good going so far though : peace: I'm gonna try and stay away from storyline spoilers for once, including the intro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2009 Yup it's true, here's the opening it all it's 'glory'... SPOILER!!! http://kotaku.com/5391523/watch-the-opening-of-modern-warfare-2 After seeing that, even I have to admit, that's pretty damn' disturbing... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 28, 2009 (edited) 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. Edited October 28, 2009 by dwarf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
