Mad Catz to distribute Modern Warfare 2 controllers, stuff photo

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will receive its own Fight Sticks. Well, sort of. Mad Catz just announced that it has secured the rights to globally distribute controllers and accessories based on Modern Warfare 2 across all platforms.

The official release was excessively vague about the upcoming line of products. We don’t have the slightest clue what Mad Catz has in store for consumers -- be it zany turbo controllers or fancy off-brands with MW 2 decals stamped all over them.

In the official release, Infinity Ward’s CEO Vince Zampella says: “Mad Catz’s innovation and fresh approach from Day 1 has been great. The team has really poured their hearts into the new line of accessories for Modern Warfare 2 and we can’t wait for our fans to have a chance to play for themselves this November.”

Either Mad Catz is building the coolest thing in existence or people are afraid to unveil whatever product is coming out of the pipes. We’d like to think one of the mysterious accessories is a gas mask to go along with those night-vision goggles.

Congrats UK, you can pay 100 dollars for the game, then some obscene amount for a shitty controller!

Yay!

I bet they'll sell turbo
controllers since that's a mildly popular (and fucked up) way to play CoD.

I hope it's not turbo controllers, because the last thing CoD multiplayer needs is more douches using modded controllers in order to give themselves an unfair advantage, who then go on to say that it's totally fair because anybody can do it. Making a semi-official controller that lets your pistols/G3s fire like machine guns would be awful.

I hate Mad Catz for the most part. I am slightly curious about this however.
