It takes a lot to get me excited about third-party controllers, but just take a look at this Modern Warfare 2 controller: it's got extra buttons on the back so you never have to take your thumb off the sticks.
Anyone who's played a FPS on a console knows that having to move your thumb to reload or jump puts you at a momentary disadvantage. Having those buttons on the back are awesome. The controler also has rubber grips and a 'soft-touch finish for extended gaming sessions.' The downside is that it's not wireless, but Mad Catz claims that will provide a 'robust and latency free connection with the console.' Right. I don't remember ever having issues with latency with wireless controllers, but that's just me. And seeing that the PS3 version of the same controller is wireless, it was clearly a cost-cutting move because Microsoft won't let them do it.

The other official MW2 peripherals include a 'Throat Communicator,' which is a bit too much for me, and a series of keyboards and mice for PC gamers. Here's a gallery and the full presser with the entire list:

Mad Catz Modern Warfare 2 Controller Driver Download
I don't know if other profile is working 100% already but when I downloaded the profile for CODmw2 it wasn't working.
I will keep the guide short, as I will assume that most of you know how to install MIJ and PGP and the PS3 controller.
First. you have to configure correctly your PS3 in MIJ.
Make sure your PS3 controller is already enabled in MIJ.
and click on OPTIONS.
Second.
Buttons 5 and 6 will appear without any command assigned. (none)
You have to select Button 5 > L2 and Button 6 > R2
And then press enable.
(perhaps you see that L2 and R2 are already assigned for axis z+ and z-. Don't mind this. it is only for other games like Fifa11. which I also play :)
Third.
Then go to PGP, Preferences>Device Settings>Advanced Settings and click where it says 'show wizard' On top of the box where your ps3 controller should appear.
Fourth.
Do the wizard.
Press next, and select YES (for ps3 controller name)
Press next, select NO, (this is for you to change the settings and calibrate)
And then it asks you to calibrate your Left Stick. (3 steps)
and then calibrate Right stick (3steps)
And now the tricky part.
Individual Axis 1 test. move your controller from right to left, as if steering a wheel. (Z ROTATION (Rz)) Should appear in the box. Press next.
Individual Axis 2 test. Tilt your controller foward and back. (SLIDER 2) should appear in the box. Press next, it will prompt you about an analog trigger..bla bla bla, just press NO.
If you have done everything correctly, you will see in the TEST CONTROL window, everything working correctly. This means that AXIS 1 and 2 change when you rotate and tilt your controller, and buttons 5 and 6 should light on when you press L2 and R2 respectively.
Now just press next and finished.
Then, the last Step.
Import the Call of duty mw2.pin Game profile I have here into your PGP.
Double click on the Controller configuration named 'CODMW2' and you should end up with the commands configured like this:
And now try your CODmw2 and you should be able to play just as if you were in a PS3. :) (using your L2 and R2 for throwing grenades and special grenades :twisted:)
and enjoy.
Please correct me if I have any mistake here. :-D
