Infinity Ward helping design Modern Warfare 2 controller

[Dohc-WP]

Infinity Ward community guru Robert Bowling issued an interesting tweet this afternoon -- one that suggests the developer is consulting (with who we don't yet know) on a Modern Warfare 2 controller. Before you start envisioning a fully functioning M4 carbine to go with your night vision goggles, know that the pad surely sounds of the nothing-too-fancy variety. Specifically, we know it'll have analog thumbsticks, as Bowling asks followers of his Twitter feed whether they prefer concave (innie) or convex (outie) stick-tops.

We asked Bowling about the controller, and while he couldn't offer any solid details, he did confirm it "isn't being manufactured by [Infinity Ward] or [Activision]," and that the call for votes was meant to "get the opinions of the people who will actually be using it to help settle a debate." You can cast your vote by sending a tweet to @fourzerotwo. (We went with "concave.")

That would be very interesting for future MW titles along with Natal

I think it will be like the Halo 3 Controllers.

A trackball instead of a right analogue stick.

Hectic, looks fragile.

Hectic, looks fragile.

FYI, thats just an image the controller wont actually look like that.

....Lets hope they have enough brains to make something that sits comfortable in you hand and looks kinda like a keyboard and mouse.
