Though we have no idea the kind of hurt that a game that comes with night vision goggles will put on our wallets (and we will allow that hurt, make no mistake), we have a price for the Hardened Edition, the name of which is easy to remember, as the box in which it is contained is hard, like metal.
Besides the steel game case, you'll get an art book and Call of Duty Classic on XBLA or PSN all for $80, according to Infinity Ward spokesman Robert Bowling's Twitter feed.
Also, anyone notice anything missing from the Hardened box? Any ... words specifically?

Activision are having such a tough time of it..
What was it £8 for a couple of maps on cod 5 ? pfft, thats what you call extortion.. A big middle finger to activision and their shiteware. Take a look at the fat cat el kobong aka ceo of activision..
Heres some issues for cod 4/5, which they have never addressed:
1. Peer2Peer, which randomly selects any player to become host and then punishes that player because of their great ping. They should be using DEDICATED servers, just a sign of just how cheap and crap Activision are !
2. Antilag code they employ is horrible. They should allow region only matches and not dump any one across the globe onto the same matches. ANTI-LAG code has never worked right, it punishes people with a good ping, its silly and its crap.
3. Randomly assigning any person to be host who happens to have a good connection.. Completely screws them up and gives them absolutely no control and doesnt give you the ability to refuse to be server host, how many times do matches die half way through ? As soon as I notice that my kill rate is dropping stupidly I disconnect, low and behold the match host has left.. Stupid system, idiotic, moronic w******
4. Why do you force people to sit through a whole loading screen for maps they dont have ? Why are people like me that refuse to pay £8 for a couple of maps even shown these maps ? Why is the system so crap ?
So put it this way, If I could run pirate games on the ps3 I would pirate the crap out of modern warfare 2, because ultimately the only thing worth while playing is the single player the multi player will suck donkey d1k
As I said earlier nothing is black and white, some games companies currently are behaving really badly especially with dlc, they charge way too much for stuff that should be free. Dropping £40 or $60 is a lot of money and to be then charged another £8 for a couple of maps is ridiculous, especially when the multiplayer is just horribly designed, just flat out broken (they need to play some resistance 2 and get a ducking clue about how to write and how to setup a multiplayer game, its stupid )

I bet the original COD 5 came with a flame thrower, but the lawyers were all like "NoooooOOOoooo, it's too illegal".

wat so microsoft are reading this and are gonna ban him from seeing him say that on here?
dont think so.
Anyway I would rather pay for games than pay for live. Why should you pay for internet twice????
and btw, I pirate.
Saves me an awful lot of money that would be going to people who dont need it if didnt.
Also, why night vision goggles, thats crap. What use are they could have atleast been a new controller or something.
This is just something for those with more money than sense to spend their time wanking over.
