The time has come; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has finally arrived on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. While the game comes in both regular and "Hardened" editions for all platforms, only those buying for the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 can get their hands on the "Prestige" edition. What does the Prestige edition offer players that the standard and Hardened editions don't? Well, for $149.99 ($70 more than the Hardened edition), players get everything provided in the hardened and standard editions, as well as a fully functional pair of night vision goggles. When Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling popped the top off of that truth nugget back in July, I couldn't help but be skeptical/giddy about the prospect of fulfilling my lifelong dream of having a functional pair of NVGs for a reasonable price. Has the cost night vision technology dropped enough to make including goggles in a bundle like the Prestige Edition a worthwhile endeavor, or is it just a gimmick for Call of Duty fans and collectors? The answer, it seems, is somewhere in between.
First off, gauging the quality of the Prestige edition night vision goggles should be grounded firmly by the realization that these, along with a Soap MacTavish bust for displaying them, are accounting for only $69.99 of the total market value of the bundle, with the Hardened edition game and packaging accounting for the remaining $79.99. With that said, for the extra cash, the night vision goggles are pretty damn impressive. Naturally, the night vision goggles are constructed from various types of plastic, not combat-ready metal composites, but for all intents and purposes, the plastic casing is durable enough. From what we've learned about the goggles, the design was produced in collaboration directly with Infinity Ward and based on in-game night vision hardware. To that end, Infinity Ward and their unnamed manufacturing partner were wise in limiting the number of movable parts on the unit, making it less prone to breaks.
The construction is broken down into two major parts – the goggles and battery pack. The battery pack rests at the back of the user's head and is connected to the goggles through rubbery straps. The battery pack bears most of the weight of the unit, while the goggles are extremely lightweight as to not add sizable strain on the user's face. When you first pick up the goggles, the weight of the rear battery pack seems like it could pose a serious comfort problem, but it is padded and when the headset is on and the straps are tightened, the battery pack is hardly noticeable. The goggles require five AA batteries to work, which aren't included. Unfortunately we weren't able to really stress test the goggles with various battery types or prolonged usage sessions, but for quick, infrequent pickup sessions, the batteries will have pretty reasonable legs.
