Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty Black Ops Edition

gadgetking writes "When I first saw this I thought it was a joke — the Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition. Seriously? I mean I like my COD first person shooter game as much as the next nerd but this really shows how mainstream video games have become. From the article: 'The Jeep brand today announced it has been named exclusive automotive partner by Activision for Call of Duty: Black Ops, and that they're making a COD Jeep. Hitting show floors next month, this limited-edition Jeep Wrangler will be available for a MSRP of $30,625 for the two-door model and $33,500 for the four-door. The 2011 Jeep Wrangler Call of Duty: Black Ops Edition comes standard with "aggressive 32-inch tires, unique military style and Call of Duty graphics."'"

  1. There is a market for it im sure by Combatso · · Score: 5, Informative
    I'm an offroader.. I own a Jeep.. I do a lot of modifications to the Jeep... as such I participate in a lot of online discussion about Jeep fabrication.. There has always been people making Tomb Raider Jeeps, Jurassic Park Jeeps and endless 'military' style jeeps... some people start with an actually CJ3B and make it look like it came straigh outta WWII and some people take the newer Wranglers and make camo... The 32" tires alone make the Jeep a decent buy, I didn't read all about it, but hopefully they use the Rubicon platform for this, so the Jeep is actually somewhat capable off the shelf..

    However, I'm the Jeep enthuisast who beleive tough Jeeps are BUILT and not BOUGHT

    Sure there's respawn. You just have to convert to Hinduism or Buddhism.

    Unfortunately, you drop all items, and your experience level is reset.
