The Blades, or game-specific
controller solutions, offer support for recent blockbuster Call of Duty 4, as
well as Call of Duty 2 and the ever-popular Counterstrike: Source.
Since first-person shooters on PC are traditionally played with a mouse and
keyboard, many developers opt not to include controller support – or included
it with very limited capabilities. But since many enthusiast gamers have
chosen the Xbox 360(TM) to get their shooting kicks this generation, PC gamers
who want to brush up on their controller shooting skills now have options– as
do gamers who simply prefer the console controller style.
"Since SwitchBlade was such a resounding success in the MMO sphere, we decided
to take the next logical step, and tackle the PC's definitive genre – the
shooter," said Aaron Levin, Vice President of Business Development at Blue Orb.
"We took our first leap with our Half-Life 2 Blade a month ago, and now we're
supporting one of the most popular titles out there with Call of Duty 4."
