Infinity Ward assist with Modern Warfare 2 controller
Activision not in charge, this time
Activision's obsession with bespoke controllers is somewhat infamous now, however rumour that reaches us today suggesting the publisher could be planning to create a dedicated controller for Modern Warfare 2 seems to be wide of the mark.
Designer Rob Bowling basically gave the game away via Twitter this week, asking for some community input with regard to a new MW2 controller design: "In a design meeting for a #MW2 controller. Need your advice - Concave or Convex grips for the Analog sticks? Whats your preference and why?"
Still, on this occasion it seems Activision are largely innocent, Bowling assuring later on that this controller is a third-party creation that won't be an official part of the MW2 experience.
Rather, it sounds as if a peripheral manufacturer of the Mad Catz ilk could be planning on releasing a companion controller alongside the eagerly awaited war game.
More on all things MW2 as the Christmas debut nears.
