When it comes to that piece of equipment that connects you to your virtual world there is nothing as vital as a controller that fits snugly in the palm of your hand and allows access to all the various buttons. It is expected from all first-party controllers, but what about third-party controllers? Over the years the third-party manufacturers have tried to emulate Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo controllers but more often than not flub some crucial detail. Could these PS3 and 360 controllers from MadCatz be a step in the right direction?
MadCatz have targeted these controllers at the FPS market just in time to take advantage of Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. Their newest addition to the standard setup comes in the form of ‘combat’ buttons; situated underneath the controller where the tip of your middle finger normally rests. Instead of clicking L3 to sprint or reloading by moving your thumb and pressing Square/X you can assign one of the new buttons to take over that function. Should you want to program the combat button to another function it’s a simple slide of the switch underneath the controller. It takes some time to adjust your habits but once mastered this definitely speeds up your game. Both controllers have aspects in common like ergonomic non-slip grips, comfortable moulds and LED backlit analogue stick modules but there are different pros and cons to the PS3 and 360 controllers.
PS3 controller:
There is no question that the MadCatz PS3 offering just sits better in your hand than the official PlayStation product. It’s much more of a 2011 feel than a 1995 re-imagining, along with the inclusion of a decent set of triggers – there is no finger-slipping in tight situations. The PS3 version is wireless via a wireless USB receiver that takes up one of the two USB slots on the Slim console. Unfortunately this is where the good news ends. Within a week we found that one of the ‘combat’ switch buttons all but died. Not great. Vibration is also missing (essential for FPS titles), the overall feel of the face buttons and D-Pad is cheap and the altered placement of the Start and Select buttons is just confusing.
Xbox 360 controller:
In hand the MadCatz 360 controller feels pretty much identical to the already-comfortable official 360 version and, unlike their PS3 offering, includes a good dose of rumble. Sadly the ‘combat’ buttons do not work so well for combatants as it is not situated correctly and needs a stretch of your middle finger to reach it. This gets to be a tiring exercise after three to four hours of non-stop play. The biggest drawback is the fact that it’s a wired controller. This might be great news for PC gamers who want in on the fun, but it is hard to justify ditching the already-awesome Microsoft wireless controller in favour of one of these.
MadCatz have a great idea here that just needs some loose ends tied up for these to become a must-have. If you are a hardcore FPS player those combat buttons provide some advantage but if you aren’t constantly looking to improve your K-D ratio in nightly online sessions then it may be best to wait till another version rolls around.

Red Dead Redemption for the Playstation 3 is full of cheaters. In just about every multiplayer game you will find someone using a modified controller, aimbot, rapid fire, glitches, and several other hardware and software hacks. Many of these cheaters can also be found on Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3. These are some of the known cheaters to watch out for on the PS3.

I’m sure many of you have seen this video but for those of you who haven’t, here it is.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSuNq4cWbuc&feature=colike
Most of you know that the leaderboards are a joke due to the number of cheaters at the top. But when you have evidence of the all time wins leader exposing how to achieve 60 wins in 60 minutes, action has to be taken. This video has been sent to Rockstar and they claim that they are reviewing it to determine what punishment if any should be enforced. Anything short of his rank being reset and his name removed from the leaderboards would be a complete joke.
You are right, most of mexicans use lagswitch, they are using net tools with computer, others pressing with their foot, and i think i m the best in gang shootout and hold your own, Yep, Papenko, but the clue is to play with friends that play to win, not cheating, and trying not to camp. I prefer campers than lady lagswitch. The cheaters use lagswitch even when they are playing ramdom between friends. Remember, Mejicans are the most cheaters in this game, and the worst players too. The problem with rockstars is that they don’t ban PS3 from online, i mean, banning to play red dead for ever , they only make cheaters erase data of the game and start all over again, but.. they are still in leaderboard ship. The list you discribed above is 100 thruth, the problem is that they change account every 15 days, they are very bad playing cause even though they are lagging and cheating a can shoot them in the EYE. Great work.. if you want you can add me to play RDR.
You listed basicly everyone playing rdr?.. I’ve beaten alot of those on your list and Then they complain about cheating, and i understand you cry since you’ve posted MrREDRUM-Gunz in All the forums in the world.. MrREDRUM is one of those i can’t beat, not because he’s modding. He just Got some mad skillz.
