Some MW2 Updates

Still sending #MW2 but I personally will no longer be attending GamesCon in Germany next week. Spent today training up staff to present it.

“So how is this riot shield thing going to work in multiplayer?”

Bowling – “Oh, it will be a perk!”

“Won’t it be pretty over-powered?”

Bowling – “Not really, there weakness is a flash grenade, whenever they get flashed they lower the shield revealing a nice head-shot, What is really cool is having two people with riot shields crouching down while one person fires over the top of them, it is effective and it looks cool.”

Bowling – “Riot shield guys are defenseless (except they can melee with it) because the riot shield requires both hands to hold, so you can’t shoot when you have it out. Best used in conjunction with another player. Even then, plenty of ways to counter someone with a shield.”

Today Mad Catz announced that they have partnered with Activision and Infinity Ward to develop a range of controllers and accessories. The release also says that the company will develop accessories for all platforms currently announced for the title, which include Xbox 360, PC, and PS3 systems.
