Beta Items

There are countless items in the game's memory that have no use at all. Most aren't even real items.  None have actual images when you hold the item in your hand, and only a few have images in the watch menu.  But there are a few  items that really do something, and have earned a spot on this page!

The Polarized Glasses

You have probably seen the pictures of these things, the polarized glasses, and though nothing of it, thinking it was just a useless beta item, that did nothig. But that couldn't be more from the truth. Thanks to Rigney Miller, I can present this to you.

Here is a picture of me on the dam, and the second picture is of the glasses as I face that direction. Watch those glasses carefully!

Notice that as soon as I change direction, the glasses change too! If you change direction, the glasses change! They are some sort of compass. I have pictures of all 4 major directions, but I think you get the idea.

Now, the glasses change a whole lot. It just isn't the major directions, a change of a mere 5 degrees will change the image of the glasses!

The Micro Camera

The micro camera is another working beta item.  If you get one, and you have infinite ammo on, you can toss them on walls and floors to your heart's content.  But that's about it, this item was never finished.  You can see that it slightly resembles the covert modem, but is a little bit larger.

The Bomb Case
This is an item that has its own picture, and it actually does something once it is thrown.  It is exactly like a timed mine, except it has the image of a suitcase!  You can only hold three of then, though.  For a quick video of the bomb case in action, click here.  (only 130 k)

The Weapon Case
Another item that does something!  If you go into your watch menu, and select this item, and then pull the trigger, it will give you grenades, a sniper rifle, and throwing knives!  For a video of this happening, click here.  (only 40 k!!)
