Not content to merely dabble in the more pedestrian flying video game market, the once peripheral-centric Mad Catz lifts its ambitious eyes to the MMO skies with Combat Pilot, a title that combines realistic flight simulation with multiplayer military aviation. Itâs actually more exciting than it sounds.
Built around Microsoftâs Flight Simulator X by Mad Catzâ internal ThunderHawk Studios, Combat Pilot focuses on group flying mechanics and maneuvers and social interaction. Players will need to earn their wings before joining the community, but once theyâre in theyâll find themselves part of a tight-knit group ready to share in the joy of flying in formation.
Youâll need a strong and memorable call sign, so if youâre even mildly interested head over to the gameâs website and reserve yours before some bastard swipes it.
Combat Pilot launches later this summer for the PC. If you need a flight controller, Iâm sure Mad Catz has something sitting around they could sell you.
