Forza 4 isn't the only video game that has tie-ins to cars in the real world. After figuring out how to get a screenshot from Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, I can finally show you what our Jeep Wrangler has in common with my carpal tunnel.
The Jeep really doesn't play a major role in the game itself, nor does it stand out as a blatant product placement ad. It just sort of sits there in some of the multiplayer maps. I was, however, a little surprised that it's susceptible to in-game damage.
Just after the image at the top of the page was captured, an opponent blew it up with an RPG; along with myself, unfortunately. Below are images of the burned-out husk of a Wrangler.
Oddly enough, the in-game Jeep doesn't completely line up with the MW3 Edition Rubicon that is selling for $36,880.
For the $6,000-plus premium, you get special black wheels and spare tire cover, a Mopar hood with scoop, Mopar Front Bumper (winch ready) with fog lights & Mopar rear bumper, rock rails, a black fuel fill door, black tail lamp guards, a black interior with black Sedosa fabric w/hex embossment & unique "MW3" Logo, a unique IP cluster & IP grab handle with new logo and slush mats.
Worth it? I don't think so. As our Wrangler currently sits, I think I prefer it to the special edition.

How'd you get the screen captures, Mark? Did you have to buy a capture card or some sort of device?

I prefer Battlefield 3, where you actually get to drive the vehicles.

Replays are stored in "The Vault," where you can pause and take a screenshot. I wasn't sure if there was a way to directly pull the image off the Xbox, so I decided to "share" it on Facebook. These images were pulled from Facebook.

Half the fun is upgrading the basic model to what you want.
