Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 peripherals break cover, reveal pricing
You should already have a pretty good idea of what extra sauce Mad Catz will be bringing to Modern Warfare 2's November 10 release, but here are some up close and personal snaps of the hardware anyway. Monochromatic camo patterns -- all the rage in that war-torn near-future world -- are evident throughout and will cost you a cent under $50 for either of the Xbox 360 or PS3 Combat Controllers, the Combat Keyboard or Sniper Mouse, or a cool hundred for the Elite Keyboard with a blood-red backlight. And if you want to spruce up your current hardware, gamepad faceplates and Xbox 360 Skinz will be available for $15 and $30, respectively. Feeling like a badass comes as a free extra.

8bit camouflage FTW!
More like digital camo.
If you set a camouflaged controller down, how will you ever find it again?
That is "digital" camoflage, originally used by the United States Marine Corps, and later used by the Army and (recently) the Navy. The Marine Corps has 2 versions: desert and woodland, while the Army uses a single pattern designed to work in both environments and the Navy has implemented a blue pattern.
Oh, camo.
That's... creative.
$50 for a wired controller for the xbox, or a rumblelacking controller for the playstation is just too much money. And it's madcatz... not really a great brand. That's a shame... the playstation controller is beautiful.
I'm sure there will be identical ones that people modded from first party controllers on ebay.
Really? I didn't know people did that.
Sounds kinda... flaky. I'm not plugging a USB dongle into my PS3 just to play this sweet looking controller, but I would buy it if it simply performed equally to the DS3. Not sure why any controller is worth 50 bucks, to be honest.
Lol madcatz suck.
love the old school d-pad!
Who are you calling a old school d-bag ? ! ? !
Woah, that is freaking ugly. Stick with my normal one ta.
You guys can get wat ever controller, mice or keyboard. It wont make u a better player nor stop me from killin' ur a55!
Yeah, WAT he said
That mouse looks like that piece of crap Saitek gm3200 I wasted $20 on. Avoid!
That keyboard is for sure a Saitek. They usually have very good products.
useless looks ugly ill stay with my modded 360 controller
awww, whats the matter, not good enough on COD so you gotta use a modded controller??
Did anyone else notice the huge magnification fail on the pictures of the PS3 controller?
20th century called, it wants its f@%&ing cords back.
I suspect the 360 version is wired due to some kind of MS licensing/cost issue for the wireless tech.
MadCatz has always made crappy stuff, but reportedly they've been improving lately. Their fight sticks are supposedly very good.
Modern warfare, eh? Does it come with shackles, black bags, orange jumpsuits, and a torture memo signed by Alberto Gonzales?
You're thinking of Call of Duty: Modern Interrogation - Dick Cheney Edition.
Ah, you're right, sorry. This one must come with a free puppy to throw off a cliff, and a free Iraqi family that your fellow soldiers can rape and kill.
God I hope so.... I've been waiting for a game to integrate those features for YEARS
Looks BORING!
Why would I want to spend $50 for a wired controller?
The buttons on the bottom of the PS3 controller are... interesting... =/.
This company has a reputation for shoddy workmanship.
all i can say is......LOLWUT?
I'm really excited for this! NOT! It´s mad katz a company with a solid reputation of creating great, long lasting merchandise. I'll stick with my AUTHENTIC ps3 equipment for this game.
The only reason I want this controller is for the back side buttons. I love the idea of removing the right stick clicky action to somewhere else. I hate it when I accidentally click the stick in a heated moment and miss my shot or die do to an unwanted melee or crouch.
If they bother to make custom PS3 controllers why can’t they make one with 360 style analog stick layout? I would buy one in a second and I’m sure many others who realize how much PS3’s Dualshock SUCKS for FPS games would do the same.
I cant believe they bothered making anything for the PC. A lot of PC players I know from CoD4 arent buying MW2 because of the 60 dollar price point.
I think It is Wired Xbox 360 controller because Microsoft don't license it,not Just Madcatz but other 3rd party
But Microsoft Licensed to Madcatz few months ago to make Wireless Specialty Controllers.
Awesomesauce!
