lol, ok the normal game for me as well. Thanks again.

Well unless the night vision functions really well for river running.

They ARE functioning goggles, but I bet they aren't very good quality. More like a toy I bet.

Window peeping arrests will spike next week. A majority of those arrested wil be wearing MW2 night vision goggles

I read somewhere that they are good for up to 50'. I'd imagine if you built your own enhanced IR spotlight, you could see quite well with them.

I will find out monday night, and will try not to be one of the idiots wearing them while driving home with my headlights off .

They are in no way used for the game, just a collector item. You even get a mold of Soap's head to display them on.

I really considered getting the NVGs but couldnt justify the price difference. Ive got a buddy getting them though so Ill play around with his. I figured they werent going to be too good but then Ive heard that they actualy are. Oh well Ill be too busy playing the game to worry about the night vision.

So whats everyone planning on playing first?

The campaign looks amazing, and spec ops should be fun but Im definaitly gonna try and rank up quick and try to give myself a slight edge early in multiplayer.

I have a really hard time playing the campaign when I see everyone on my friends list online playing multiplayer (feeling like I’m missing out on some fun).

I’m sure I’ll just dive right in to multiplayer and follow up with some campaign during the weekends.

Just hoping not preordering it won't kick me in the kiester. I was at GH:World Tour launch at midnight at WalMart and am planning on doing that for MW2. Big difference this time, I got GH for the Wii, and will be getting MW2 for the PS3. I was the only one getting GH for the Wii that night.

I preordered it when I traded in some old games but honestly I think stores ordered plenty of copies. I dont think you'll have trouble finding a copy especialy if you hit a midnight release.

From what I recall, there has never been a game shortage with any console. The games are easy, they just keep stamping. Because of that, I’ve never preordered.

I’ve actually heard stories of people preordering and then not getting the game release day due to that particular store having shipping delays. At least if you don’t preorder, you have the option of running to different stores to find the game.

Preordering seems to be the new hype, but I’ve always walked into Target or Wal-Mart on my way home from work on release day and found plenty of copies to be had. Even with the biggest names such as HALO or the previous COD’s.

All the anticipation makes a guy want to maybe head over for the midnight deal, but probably not for me.

One reason I am doing the midnight deal is I don't work, and I don't have class tuesday, so I think I will be up all night playing

Went and pre-ordered mine today.......No worries.

NEW YORK -
This holiday season's biggest entertainment blockbuster likely will be a sequel to a popular franchise, with jarring depictions of war and an intricate story of good versus evil. It could easily rake in more than last year's record $155 million opening weekend for "The Dark Knight."

But this blockbuster is not a movie.

It is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2," a video game that Activision Blizzard Inc. is releasing Tuesday. Fans worldwide are expected to spend at least half a billion dollars on the game in the first week.

That would at least match last year's "Grand Theft Auto IV," which was the most successful video game release in history and might have been the top entertainment launch ever.
