Sep 05, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- MCZ | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. announced the release of a full range of licensed Modern Warfare 2 accessories for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, which are expected to ship across North America and key European territories with the release of one of the year's most anticipated games in November 2009.

Developed by Infinity Ward and set for release by Activision Publishing on November 10, Modern Warfare 2 is the sequel to the first-person action game in history, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The title is rated "M" (Mature) for Blood, Drug Reference, Intense Violence and Language.

The products expected to ship as part of the range include:

- Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller - Xbox 360

The Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller has Rubber Grips and a soft-touch finish for extended gaming sessions. Featuring two buttons located on the rear of the Controller, players can re-map Action Button or Thumbstick commands empowering players to shift melee or sprint to the rear buttons in order to maintain full motion control on the analog sticks. Lastly, the fully braided connection cable provides a latency free connection with the console.

- Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator - Xbox 360

Inspired from military designs, the Modern Warfare 2 Throat Communicator allows gamers to comfortably communicate with teammates and other Xbox Live players. Fashioned in authentic graphics, the microphone design reduces background noise and allows gamers to clearly communicate with each other, bringing them closer to the field ops experience. The Throat Communicator is fully compatible with the official Microsoft controller as well as the Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 Combat Controller.

- Modern Warfare 2 Faceplate and Console Skinz - Xbox 360

Featuring custom Modern Warfare 2 artwork, both the Controller Faceplate and Console Skinz allow gamers to customize their Xbox 360. Depicting official in-game art, the Console Faceplate transforms users' consoles in seconds and the removable Console Skinz wrap around the sides of the Xbox 360.

- Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Combat Controller - PS3

Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Combat Controller for PlayStation 3 utilizes a secure 2.4 GHz wireless link to connect with the console for accurate wire-free action. Featuring two buttons located on the rear of the Controller, players can re-map Action Button or Thumbstick commands empowering players to shift melee or sprint to the rear buttons in order to maintain full motion control on the analog sticks. The Controller features Immersive Analog ThumbStick Backlighting and an internal Rechargeable Battery that allows for charging directly from the console's USB port and provides up to 60 hours of game play from a single charge.

- Modern Warfare 2 Wireless Headset with Bluetooth Technology - PS3

Sophisticated, discrete and fashioned with Modern Warfare 2 graphics, the Headset for PlayStation 3 allows for wire-free communication with teammates and PlayStation Network (PSN) users. Featuring a noise-reducing microphone, the Headset utilizes Bluetooth 2.0 wireless technology and operates at a range of up to 30 feet from the console.

- Modern Warfare 2 Controller Faceplates - Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3

Depicting official artwork from Modern Warfare 2, the Controller Faceplate allows gamers to customize their official Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 controllers in style. Highly durable and featuring a high-gloss finish, the safe and removable Controller Faceplate attaches in seconds to the official controller and features authentic artwork to support the game (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 Controller Faceplate sold separately).

"This new range marks our first full line of licensed PC products launching alongside the console accessories," said Darren Richardson, President and CEO of Mad Catz. "The Saitek and Cyborg names are brands respected by PC gamers worldwide and we believe that consumers will respond to these licensed products."
