The U.S. Army Sniper Rifle for Move

CTA Digital's range of Move accessories already includes a PS3 bowling ball and a three-in-one Move sniper rifle, but the peripheral manufacturer just scored a huge licence: the United States Army.

The U.S. Army Sniper Action Rifle is Move-exclusive, and looks like a slightly revamped version of its original sniper peripheral. The other two accessories — the U.S. Army Elite Force Assault Rifle and U.S. Army Commando Assault Rifle — both support Move but can also be used as straight-up controllers in their own right, with dual analogue sticks and all the usual buttons you'd find on a DualShock 3.

All three peripherals are due in the next month or two, with CTA promising more details at CES 2012 next week.

In keeping with CTA Digital's successful line of battle gear accessories, new products will include two Assault Rifle controllers for PS3 that can operate like DualShock controllers. These controllers will have all the functions of the Dualshock mapped out on them, including the R1 button linked to the trigger. Positioning of buttons and thumb-sticks have also been adjusted in order to create a more comfortable gun for both right and left handed users. Both these rifles will be compatible with all popular PS3 first-person-shooters, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Battlefield 3.

For Move players specifically, another gun accessory will be the U.S. Army™ Sniper Action Rifle for PlayStation Move, with which they can closely match their in-game weapons of choice by removing the detachable scope, rear stock or muzzle. This Sniper Rifle will be compatible with all Move titles, including Resistance 3, Killzone 3, Socom 4.

For gamers on the move, the three compartment U.S. Army™ Universal Gaming Backpack for all major game consoles will keep things organized and protected, and comes in a black army-camo design. Consoles will be sheltered in the cushioned main compartment, while pockets organize
other gear.
