Hey Bob, what are those things jumping across the rooftops like majestic warriors dressed as Spartans with their heads on fire?

Oh, that's just the Bungie ninjas. Mess with them and they'll bring a hammer down on your head that's so big, they have to keep it on Jupiter 'cause it won't fit on Earth.

We're getting something extremely cool.

An awesome game. An awesome game that has an open world Campaign, the opportunity to play the Reach beta, unlock Recon, and get Johnson to kick some Covenant butt in an all-new (to Halo) Firefight system. And it's made by Bungie.

What more do you want?!

PS; Are you choosing COD;MW2 over ODST purely 'cause of the night-vision goggles?
yes, yes i am.
why not just save up money for GOOD night vision goggles. sure, the MW2 ones "work", but its only UP TO 50ft. For a few hundred, you can get ones that see pretty far. But really, buy the game for the game.
I found some really nice and (relatively) cheap, hands-free, goggles here.

yeah its only 50 bucks more (depending if the the other crap jammed in there is 20$) not that much

So its a dollar a foot?

Dude, trust me, you'll just be throwing you money at IW for a pair of crappy NVGs that will probably just be degraded to nothing more than a dust catcher on you shelf if you some how manage to keep them from breaking.

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.

Yes, but we dont know what the quality of these goggles are. they may be able to reach 50 feet, and if so what about the quality? Real life goggles are not crystal clear, what makes you think that the 50$ ones will let you see anything?

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.
i like having airsoft fights in the dark, so having so "cheap" goggles would be awesome


Till an airsoft BB destroys them.
its a free pare of goggles, though id be disapoited, i didnt lose anything.

again, free?!

OH MY GOD I LOL'D SO HARD! AHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHA This guy keeps saying these goggles are free!!! LMAO!!! and dude i dont think you will find one person who says "Yea ODST's campaign looks boring, firefight doesnt look fun at all, those new maps are stupid, I havnt even seen gameplay of reach but the beta looks -blam!-! but im getting this game so i can finally get recon armor!" No that person doesnt exist!

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

i want the goggles wether there crap or not, you lot can have your recon a week before me i cauld care less. mw2 is a full game with more improvements than odst has seemed to show.

really? there alot of kids who wont shut up about getting recon.

  • 08.03.2009 10:10 PM PDT

You are in no way getting the goggles free. The Prestige edition is $150. That includes the game which is normally $60, an art book which, be honest, you will probably only flip through one or two times, a classic CoD download which can easily be found elsewhere for no charge, a custom tin which even the stupidest of shoppers knows poses no significance, and the goggles. Those goggles you are paying for are the only real attraction the Prestige edition and when subtracting the cost of the game, are $90.
Here. I surfed Google shopping and found the exact same specs of goggles for less.

I skimmed through that and actually thought for a minute the only reason you were buying ODST was for recon :P

Just a thought.

No actually i was wondering what kind of improvments this guy is talking about. and im getting both games, They really are both amazing games but buying one game for $150 because of crappy goggles instead of getting both for $120 just seems illogical. so this guy is trolling.

Just re-read the OP.

Dude, if you got fired, howsabout you focus less on games, and more on work!

YOU NEED TO REALIZE A -blam!- PAIR OF LOW QUALITY NIGHT VISION GOGGLES THAT YOU WILL BARELY EVER USE ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR WORK.
