Mad Catz official Modern Warfare 2 outfitter

In mid-July, Activision announced that the $149 "Prestige Edition" of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would be bundled with fully functional night-vision goggles. The following week, Infinity Ward communications director Robert Bowling revealed that the developer was also designing its own branded line of controllers for the highly anticipated shooter.

Today, peripheral maker Mad Catz revealed it was the accessory maker lucky enough to land the contract to make "officially branded controllers and accessories" for Modern Warfare 2 on all platforms. Unfortunately, that's about all the announcement said, other than revealing the products will launch alongside the game, due out November 10 for the PC, DS, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a port of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, will arrive on the Wii on the same date.) However, Bowling did initially reveal Infinity Ward was debating convex or concave thumbsticks for the branded controller.
