Columnist Vexed over Modern Warfare 2's Night Vision Goggles, We Have Another Idea
Philadelphia Inquirer's columnist Rob Watson is a bit worried over the recently announced Prestige Edition of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Why is he worried? Well he thinks that while 99.9% of the "kids" that own it will have harmless fun with the NV goggles, it's that .1% that'll ruin it for the rest of the folks.
Yet, it is also like giving away a free race car with Gran Tourismo or Forza - someone is going to cause a highway wreck. In Modern Warfare 2's case, I shudder (just a bit) to think of someone, who may have a hard time with reality anyway, donning these goggles for real mischief or even worse.
Infinity Ward should know better. They are great at fake realism. One of the best. This maybe be crossing that line, however.
I'm not so sure that comparison is accurate though, to be honest. It's a lot easier to hurt other people with a 2000 pound piece of metal that goes 175MPH than a plastic pair of goggles that let you see in green.
One thing I think that would be really cool - and I'm not even sure if it's technically possible - would be to use the goggles with the game. The way it would work is there would be special or secret locations in the game that using the night vision goggles would reveal content or engage the player more with the game world.
It's really no different than all the plastic accessories for the Wii-motes, but the NV goggles will give you real world benefits. Just hopefully not mischievous ones.

Ok, the game is for 17 to begin with. And also, who's going to get night-vision goggles and say "Finally! I can rape and pillage the town!" If they needed night-vision goggles to do that, they wouldn't wait for CoDMW2.
I said 17PLUS, but the plus symbol doesn't show up in the comments.
Kinda like mentos and pepsi bottles shot off the mountain side,potato guns, or maybe a howtocast on stalking your ex on a budget. Joking of course but Im sure someone will find a practical use like that guy with the wii remotes.
if you post a comment from the article it seems to filter out a lot of symbols. posting from the forum topic tends to work better. except you're posting from COG network so i'm not sure if you can w/o registering here.
