Call of Duty is second to none when it comes to limited edition bundles, and for Black Ops 2 they’re making no exception.

This year the Hardened and Prestige Editions are both back, the later being dubbed the Care Package which includes a freaking radio controlled drone. There’s also some other stuff. Awesome!

Mark my words: we will secure a bunch of these bad boys and give them away to you just because we’re cool like that. We may even throw in our new FPS Freek Havoc (which should be in the Care Package anyway) as an added bonus. So, be sure to follow us on Twitter and/or Facebook for that.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 launches for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 November 13, 2012.

Tonight is the night! Starting at 9PM EST, we’re giving you an exclusive opportunity to spend some quality time with Jordan “Proofy” Cannon from Gamespot’s The Controller: Battlefield 3 reality series.

Worldwide, Proofy is one of the top professional gamers today and has won multiple Major League Gaming events and tournaments using our FPS Freek controller accessories. As part of OpTic Gaming, Jordan won the Call of Duty: XP Million Dollar Tournament last year in Los Angeles and took home over $72,000 in prize money!

The bottom line: Proofy knows how to play Call of Duty: MW3 and tonight you’re going to learn some of his secrets.

To tune-in all you need to do is click here and watch.

If you’d like to join the conversation and ask Proofy a question—follow us on Twitter and Tweet your question to @KontrolFreek using the #KFLive hashtag. We’ll be filtering your questions and only asking him the best ones. If your question is used on the air you’ll be entered to win a prize—so make it good!

Optional: If you’d like to take the experience one step further you can use TweetGrid and set #KFLive as the hashtag and @KontrolFreek as the host.

See you tonight!

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).

11/11/11, it will only happen once in our lifetime. So, what better way to immortalize that date than by playing video games with friends? WeTheGamerz and KontrolFreek (along with some other really awesome people and companies) will be hosting an Xbox Live Community Playdate online from 8-11 PM EST this Friday, November 11.

The game we will be playing is Modern Warfare 3 (duh?!?) and is open to anybody who wants to join. All you’ll need to do to participate is send an invite to the following Gamertags and start playing:

• TG Fireflex
• Sogo01
• MollyPopGirl
• Rondeau04
• Kelky 111
• Uo1drama
• MRPINK310
• KF Trevor

There will be prizes awarded for completely random happenings. All prizes are Call of Duty themed and include our FPS Freek Prestige and FPS Freek ELITE controller attachments. You have to play with us to be eligible to win.

WeTheGamerz is a fantastic community to play with and we are really excited about killing everyone involved. Seriously, you’re all going to die. See you there!

In case you didn’t know, KontrolFreek products can now be found in Microsoft Stores nationwide. Microsoft Stores have 14 locations right now and more on the way next year—so this is definitely something for KontrolFreek fans to get excited about.

For a list of current Microsoft Store locations click here.

For the past two big game launches—Gears of War 3 and Battlefield 3—MS Stores have had some really great midnight launch events. The events featured food, drinks, SWAG bags, tournaments with sweet prizes and overall good times. Next Monday night will be no exception with the launch of Modern Warfare 3.

The Call of Duty: MW3 Launch Event will take place from Monday, November 7^th at 10pm – November 8^th at 1am local time. Starting at 10pm you’ll be able to play MW3 before you buy, compete in tournaments and win a limited edition Xbox 360 Call of Duty: MW3 console (among other awesome prizes).

There will also be KontrolFreek girls in every store giving product demos and posing for pictures with fans. And here’s where things get even more interesting: have your picture taken with the KontrolFreek girls, tag us and post it to our Facebook wall, and we’ll send you a free KontrolFreek t-shirt in the mail. Booyah!

Hope to see you Freeks there next Monday!
