Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 Lineup Detailed
Combat controllers, mice, keyboards, throat microphones, and more.

US, August 24, 2009 - Earlier this month Mad Catz announced that they had secured an exclusive license for a vast array of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 controllers and accessories, but beyond a few general details, the company offered little in terms of specifics, until now. This afternoon Mad Catz popped the lid off of their entire product lineup, which includes specialized controllers for both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, as well as a host of PC peripherals and accessories. The products announced today will be hitting stores in November at retailers nationwide, and will include the following:
Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controllers (Xbox 360 and PS3)
A specialized controller for Modern Warfare 2, the Combat Controller will incorporate rubber grips and a soft-touch finish for prolonged frag sessions. Additionally the controller will include two buttons toward the rear of the controller, which allows players to remap action buttons or thumbstick commands on the fly, allowing users to relocate melee or sprint commands to rear buttons for added control. As an aesthetic touch, the Combat Stick will feature thumbstick backlighting and a durable braided USB cable for extra visual panache. Aside from the clear visual variations, the PS3 controller will depart from the Xbox 360 design in that it utilizes a 2.4GHz wireless system with internal rechargeable battery for up to 60 hours of gameplay.
Both variations of the Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller will retail for $49.99.
Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator (Xbox 360)
The MW2 Throat Communicator's design is taken directly from military designs and reduces background noise by providing direct contact communication. Additionally, the Throat Communicator will finish authentic graphics and will be fully compatible with the Xbox 360 controller and the Combat Controller from Mad Catz.
The Throat Communicator will have an MSRP of $29.99.
Modern Warfare 2 Bluetooth Headset (PS3)
The Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth Technology is a headset specialized for use with the PlayStation 3 but can also be paired with a host of Bluetooth enabled devices. The headset will feature similar graphics to the throat communicator and utilizes Bluetooth 2.0 technology.
The Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth Technology will be available for $39.99.
Modern Warfare 2 Combat GamePad, Mice, and Keyboards (PC)
PC gamers will also be getting the love from Mad Catz with the company offering four new MW2-geared products, including a Combat GamePad, Sniper Mouse, Combat Keyboard, and Elite Keyboard. The Combat GamePad will feature Modern Warfare 2 artwork, four action buttons, four trigger buttons, and an eight-way D-pad. The GamePad will be preprogrammed for MW2, however, it will also ship with software that allows users to reprogram the action buttons to suit their personal preference. The GamePad will be fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and retail for $24.99.
The Modern Warfare Sniper Mouse is a precision mouse geared toward FPS games and incorporates a weight cartridge that allows users to add or subtract included weights to match their preference. Like the GamePad, the Sniper Mouse includes software for programming the function buttons and will be emblazoned with custom MW2 art. The Sniper Mouse will cost $49.99.
The two keyboards offered by Mad Catz for MW2 include a Combat Keyboard and an Elite Keyboard. The Combat Keyboard is the more affordable of the two at $49.99, and will include anti-ghosting, Windows key lock, media keys for volume and playback control, and a weighted base. The Elite Keyboard, on the other hand, is based on the Cyborg keyboards line and will have all sorts of bells and whistles, including multi-color keyboard backlighting, adjustable brightness controls, Tru-Vu illumination for ambient lighting with colors ranging from red to amber to green. Additionally, the Elite Keyboard will have a touch-sensitive dashboard for media controls, and independent illumination settings for the WASD, cursor, and number pad keys for added visual recognition. Other features include twelve programmable macro keys, durable metal plated key caps, and gold-plated USB and microphone input passthrough. Like the other PC accessories, the Elite Keyboard is fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, and XP and will include custom programming software. The Elite Keyboard will cost $99.99.
Modern Warfare 2 Skins and Faceplates
For those who want to deck their gaming gear out with Modern Warfare 2 art, Mad Catz is also offering a series of custom console skins, faceplates, and controller faceplates. The company will be producing controller faceplates emblazoned with official art from Infinity Ward in a high gloss finish for both PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers. Also available this November will be custom MW2 Faceplates and Console Skinz for Xbox 360, which will again, feature licensed art for $29.99.

ich schones soll in MW2 möglich sein 2 pistolen gleichzeitig zu tragen.
Das bestätigt Infinity Wards Robert Bowling aka FourZeroTwo auf seinem Blog und hat diesbezüglich eine nette Anekdote parat:
"Ich
habe diesen Morgen eine Singleplayer-Mission auf der GameCrazy gezeigt
und lief über eine Leiche, die zwei Waffen trug gelaufen. Als das
Symbol aufblinkte, man könne diese Waffen aufheben, rasteten alle im
Präsentationsraum aus und schrien mich an, dass ich die Waffen aufheben
und benutzen solle."
"Also tat ich es."
"Es
waren zwei Desert Eagles. Bevor jetzt gleich jemand "OMG! Völlig
overpowered" ruft: Akimbo ist limitiert und ausbalanciert, wie ALLES in
Modern Warfare 2. Man kann es nicht mit allen Waffen tun, es ist
schwerer zu zielen, als wenn man nur eine Waffe tragen würde und man
kann nicht über Kimme und Korn zielen, da man zwei Waffen hält. Es gibt
noch andere Balance-Techniken, also nicht ausrasten bevor ihr es nicht
gesehen habt."
na ja ich finde das net so toll![]()
