it appears you have fallen into a sarchasm...
its the gap between someone making a sarcastic comment, and you picking up on that sarcasm...

So, I ask you, how often will you use said NVGs?
Also, real NVGs are very sensitive, you wouldn't want to walk around in broad daylight with them for just looks. So now you are limited to night time use. And of course, thats where an NVG would come in handy right? so tell, me what tasks would you need these goggles for?

yes, but then again who is in absolute darknes? ther is normally some light that gives the goggles a decent range. nvgs need some light to work decently, 50 feet in absalute darknes is pretty good.

Why do you want cheap $90 night vision goggles that are only worth $40.
They see how far? Hmmm... 50 feet! WOOOOWWWW!! I can c mai mawmz rose curtins with teh lites off!!
If you want night vision goggles, get real ones that can see at least a mile outward.

apparently they are real as legal nvg's go, and they look awesome. and they go alot further than 50 feet my confused little friend.

actually they can only see up to 50 feet! and spending $140 on one game is completely stupid compared to $120 for two games! The goggles are crappy but thats not IW fault, if they had the really good kind they would have to sell the game at around $300! just buy both you will thank us later. oh and no we are not getting the game for recon armor, we are getting the game because it is an amazing game!

What about the real night vision goggles that see 1000 yards in absolute darkness?
The slight bit of extra lighting won't make significant differences. You'll see maybe up to 70 or 80 feet before you can see without them.
If you can see long distances through those overpriced goggles, you probably don't need them to begin with. They're using them as a marketing scheme. Like most other companies do.

They act all big and tough when their on camera with their friends and their guns. But when you break into their house in the middle of the night and stick a gun barrel in their face. They cry like babies and and piss their pants.

Then I suppose that will be enjoyable to the extent of when someone is further than 50 feet. Just also be sure about what kind of night vision it really is if that's the reason you really want them. There are lots of claims of night vision goggles when at distances that short, it is really only a flashlight with a filter, making you an obvious target in that situation. Otherwise, you'll have spent an unfortunate $90 for that sole purpose.

no i think one of the settings is invisible to the naked eye, but the other is visible. if its as terrible as you claim, i will be somewhat disapointed that a free pair of goggles was crap.

Free? Last time I checked the "default" version of this game is 60$, the collectors edition you want ranges somewhere from 140-180$ (im not sure of the price). So how is it free?
