Infrared Scope

The IR scope, or infrared scope, is a weapon attachment in Call of Duty: Black Ops. It is slightly different from the Thermal Scope in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, as the cross-hairs are blue or black with a tinted, blue background resembling static. Different weapons have different reticles. == Campaign == Multiple Dragunovs with IR scopes can be found in the level "Numbers." In "Rebirth," once Nova 6 is released, the player uses an IR scoped Enfield to see through the gas. == Multiplayer == The player can purchase the attachment for. On most weapons, the scope has a reticule with a small, accurate black dot where the shots land; on Russian weaponry it instead has a small chevron in the center, similar to the ACOG sights of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. == Gallery == IRadsBO.jpg|Aiming down a normal IR scope SovietIRadsBO.jpg|Aiming down a Russian IR scope Russian IR sight.jpg|Russian IR sight, the whole unit visible == Videos == Video:Black Ops Infrared Montage|M14 Infrared Video:Black Ops AK47 Infrared Montage|AK47 Infrared ==Trivia== *This attachment is much less popular than the comparable Thermal Scope from Modern Warfare 2. This may be because of the different color of the background and comparative lack of definition. *When attached to Russian weapons such as the RPK, Dragunov and the AK-47, the reticle of the Russian 1PN58 would be in a chevron style scope seen in the scope of the Dragunov with the aiming reticle of [ ^ ]. While attached to other weapons, the reticle appears as a dot between 3 lines such as [ -. - ]. *Although for most weapons the IR lowers centertime (ergo raising recoil), it adds centertime to the M16, actually lowering the felt recoil of the weapon. The centertime of the Enfield is not changed at all when using the IR.
