This is so ridiculous that I almost want it.

Sold!

@ CALkulon: i certainly care even though i own two copies of the original for pc i played the hell out of multiplayer back in the day. i could see getting worked up about it if it was a full conversion of singleplayer and multiplayer in one package.

Worst case: the goggles, they do nothing

Is this the model that Buffalo Bill used?

And if it does come over to the UK, how much is it going to cost? Are Activision going to forget about exchange rates and make us pay £150 for it?

Hmmm, MR Wrighty might be right. I will have to import it them. Add 30 bucks to the price.

Damn.

@Uzzy I don't doubt it for a second

I guess I don't need to eat for a few weeks....

Game "journalists" will get it for free, but it certainly won't have any influence on their review scores.

fuck

that

Yay. I was wanting it to be under 200 so I wouldnt feel to bad buying it.

@SilverDragon1979

Me too. I paid this much for Ace Combat 6 and the Flight Stick. I will pay this much for this AMAZING set. Even if the goggles are crap, they will still be Awesome to display and I loved CoD4, so if nothing else, I can expect to really enjoy the game.

@Soth

That is until Metal Gear 6 comes with a fully functional M4

The average price for night vision goggles at Galls.com is about $3000.

For those of you who've never heard of this site: You're welcome.

I do wonder how good the goggles are

Figured i'd check on that quality spectrum so I googled "cheap night vision" real quick and got this article from Ars Technica:

I'm guessing that's probably what we're looking at with a $70 pair. Cool Beans.

@eggdogg - That's pretty cool. May have to hit Toys R Us

Went back and watched the video again and eggdog is right. These aren't even NVGs, they're IR goggles. It's going to use infrared light to illuminate the area directly in front of you. It won't magnify light, so you shouldn't have the overload circuit issue. Unfortunately, because it's essentially just a flashlight with light that you can't see with the naked eye, the range will be very, very low. However, it should be idiot-proof so they won't have to replace 10,000 units because idiots flipped them on indoors with the lights on.

Im sure some idiot is going to try to play the game with those on

ration:

i am that idiot.

Come on, everyone will try it once.

@chronoswing:

If you're going to call me an idiot the least you could do is not show yourself to be one. Normally I'd tell you to shove your attitude up your arse but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here, maybe you'll actually give me a proper reason now.

I too would rather play CoD1 than WaW, but that's because WaW is a complete turd. I want to know why anyone would get psyched by a downloadable version (even if it is a remake, since it's hardly going to feel like a new game) when the original version is easily found on the cheap, especially in DarkTravesty's case as he owns two (?!) copies of it. If purely for the multiplayer, why not just boot up MW1 or MW2, or indeed any other good fps? I can't think of anything that CoD1 has over any other shooter.

Sure, there might be a lot of people playing it soon after launch, making for easy access to a quick game but I really doubt this new multiplayer contingent is going to be strong for any significant period of time, simply because MW2 will be out. Unless of course MW2 completely sucks ass but I'd wager heavily against that.

I can tell you for a FACT those goggles aren't worth more than $30.
