FPS Freek CQC is SOLD OUT… sort of
By Trevor Roppolo
11/30/2011 4:33:00 PM  

CQC

It’s true. After a week of insane holiday deals from us, our entire stock of FPS Freek CQC has been decimated like the surface of Reach after the Covenant invasion. Between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, apparently every serious gamer on the planet decided that they were going to treat themselves to a set. We don’t blame you and we’re not complaining, but this means that some of you procrastinators won’t be able to experience how great CQC’s are.

We do, however, still have a small amount of holiday bundles left that feature FPS Freek CQC as part of the package deal and at discounted prices. Our Perfect Arsenal and GamerPack Recon both feature the CQC and are available for purchase right now (while supplies last, of course).

KontrolFreek Launches Perfect Arsenal Of FPS Accessories this Holiday Season
By Sharina

Specialized Gaming Gear to Improve Gunplay for Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Close Quarters Combat

Atlanta, GA – October 18, 2011 - KontrolFreek, creators of the popular FPS Freek®, Speed Freek™, Rcade Freek™ and other performance gaming gear, today announced plans to release the “Perfect Arsenal” of first-person shooter (FPS) controller accessories for this holiday season’s most highly anticipated games—Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The FPS Freek SNIPR™, FPS Freek ELITE™ and FPS Freek CQC™ are the latest FPS products created for gamers to improve control, accuracy and ultimately, K/D ratios.

Designed to improve gunplay at all ranges and to increase maneuverability and comfort, each product in KontrolFreek’s “Perfect Arsenal” is tailored to the different needs of FPS gamers.

Available for purchase starting today, FPS Freek SNIPR is designed as a tribute to Battlefield 3 and other similar franchises, and is a trusted companion for gamers looking to perfect their mid-long range weapon skills with sniper rifles such as the M24 and assault weapons like the M27. The FPS Freek SNIPR brings a convex, laser-etched crosshair design, arming players with the maximum grip surface available to efficiently take down enemies with precision during every engagement.  The FPS Freek SNIPR is available today for $13.99. 

The perfect accompaniment for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, FPS Freek ELITE helps players take control of Delta Force Operatives as they carry out their mission to find and eliminate Vladimir Makarov. Staying true to the fiction, the FPS Freek ELITE features a Delta Force insignia featuring the credo, “Swift, Silent, Deadly.” Both Call of Duty multiplayer and campaign fans gain an advantage with FPS Freek ELITE, slated for release November 8, 2011 and priced at $13.99.  

FPS Freek CQC is a completely new controller accessory dedicated to “Close Quarters Combat” in FPS titles. The lower “rise” of the FPS Freek CQC increases accuracy with each action, particularly during close proximity encounters, when both melee and weapon based attacks are essential. FPS Freek CQC plays favorably to shotguns, SMGs, and those trusty knives. Also works well mixed and matched with other FPS Freek products. FPS Freek CQC will be available starting November 15, 2011 for $9.99.

“Given the extraordinary success of our previous shooter-inspired products, adding this depth and breadth to our lineup will undoubtedly provide FPS gamers with additional benefits this season” said Ashish Mistry, KontrolFreek president and CEO. “Gamers will be truly blown away by the added maneuverability and comfort that these new products, and especially CQC, will give them.”

The FPS “Perfect Arsenal” will be available online at www.kontrolfreek.com as well as in Microsoft stores nationwide.  Visit Facebook and Twitter for the latest news and product releases from KontrolFreek.
