Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition

On November 11th, fans will be queuing outside stores around the country waiting for the doors to open so they can get their hands on the latest installment in the Call of Duty series. Having grown in popularity progressively over the years, with each release outselling the last, the Call of Duty series has become one of the most popular video games in the world. The latest offering, Modern Warfare 2, sets the bar even higher as far as graphics go; we’ve been told that the game utilizes the Infinity Ward graphics engine, but is whole generation ahead of the previous game’s graphics. With such a huge amount of hype, this game better deliver on many levels. It must have plenty of exciting gameplay combined with the fantastic Call of Duty multiplayer mode, which has been the prime reason for its popularity over the years.

Looking away from the details of the actual game for a second, Activision’s marketing strategy seems to be notably different to that used with previous games. Having seen huge success in the form of Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and other games that come in big packages, they look to be trying to bring this style to the world of the first person shooter. It’s a surprising move, and one that won’t be popular with all of the diehard fans. However, the regular edition of the game will still undoubtedly remain the bestseller, while new and exciting options will also be available to those who want them. The Hardened Edition of the game comes with a metal casing, concept art from the production of the game, and other “behind-the-scenes” extras. This edition of the game will reportedly cost $80, but it is the Prestige Edition of the game that is really making waves. The Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition is essentially the same as the Hardened Edition, except for one major addition, night vision goggles. That’s right, this edition comes packaged with a set of fully functioning night vision goggles, something which is sure to get more than just a few people excited.
