VIPR Ultra FPS Freeks—you’ve been asking for them through Facebook, Twitter, KF Forums and email—and we’ve been trying our hardest to get them ready for you in time for this year’s biggest game launches.  Well, we are thrilled to say that VIPR Ultra FPS Freeks are finally back in-stock!  But, we have limited quantities.  And considering they’re our most popular accessory, we don’t know how long they will last.  All we can say is GET THEM WHILE YOU CAN!



Legendary performance. 100% Tournament legal.

Created with precision and accuracy in mind, the FPS Freek is our flagship accessory.  Fueled by our desire to win, the FPS Freek was developed for the sole purpose of becoming better at first-person shooters.  The result has become somewhat of a legend.  Proven a winner time and time again, the FPS Freek has been praised by numerous professionals, enthusiasts and n00bs alike.

By increasing the length of the thumb-sticks slightly, precision while aiming is improved dramatically.  Your range of motion is increased by 40%, giving you the opportunity to make smaller adjustments and “snap” to targets much faster in first-person shooters.  This affords you the luxury of turning up controller sensitivities to get the closest feel to a mouse possible on a console.  The greater leverage offers you better control and less force—alleviating thumb-fatigue and adding more comfort to long gaming sessions.  In short, this increased accuracy and decreased thumb-fatigue results in more kills and less deaths.

In the competitive world of online gaming, you’d be crazy to play without the FPS Freek!

FPS Freek is designed to fit both the PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers but will also fit many third-party versions.

Works great in games like:

• Modern Warfare 2
• Battlefield: Bad Company 2
• Call of Duty: Black Ops
• Halo: Reach
• Medal of Honor

In case you have not logged on to your favorite console yet to see, Battlefield: Bad Company 2’s 5^th (yes, 5^th) VIP Map Pack is now available for download.

If you were hoping that this, the 5^th (again, the 5^th) VIP Map Pack would finally be the one with new maps, consider your hopes mostly destroyed.  VIP Map Pack 5 (5) follows the same formula as VIP Map Pack 1, VIP Map Pack 2, VIP Map Pack 3 and VIP Map Pack 4 where old maps are combined with old game modes to create a… new-ish experience.

Also, as with the first four VIP Map Packs, this one is 100% free—as long as you have the VIP code that came with all new copies of the game.  If you bought the game second-hand, you’ll need to download the VIP code for $15, which will give you access to all of the VIP content.

The yummy bits this time consist of being able to play White Pass in Rush Mode and Nelson Bay in Conquest Mode.

Hey, at least EA and DiCE continue to release free content on a pretty regular basis!

Since I mostly play Conquest and Rush, I’m only a little excited about this.  But BF: BC2’s VIP Map Pack 3 will be available tomorrow.  VIP Map Pack 3 will unlock Squad Deathmatch for Nelson Bay and Squad Rush for Laguna Alta.

Although this is the 3^rd round of “Map Packs” without any new maps, it’s still pretty cool that EA continues to make new content available for a game that’s already so good out of the box.

Really, though, a true map pack would be greatly appreciated some day soon.  Some new unlocks would be nice, too—you know, for all of us that unlocked everything a week after release.

Oh well, at least all three of the map packs have been free for those of us who bought new copies of the game.

For those of you who saved $5 by buying a used copy at GameStop, you will need to purchase a VIP code for $15 from EA’s in-game store in order to access the new modes.  It’s a bummer, but at least at this point you are getting some worthy content.
