Mad Catz and Microsoft strike a Halo deal

As of today, Mad Catz has entered into an agreement with Microsoft in order to create Halo 4 branded headsets.

“We are excited to add Halo 4 to our portfolio of world class video game licenses,” said Darren Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “Halo is one of the world’s most popular video games and these new Halo branded headsets are sure to appeal to the passionate gamer who wants to maximize his or her Halo experience.”

You bet sir, and their fans won’t settle for anything but the best in authenticity and artful headset design. It’ll make screaming into the mic while teabagging the opposition all the more classier.

On a more serious note, I’m not too sure how these will fare. Mad Catz tends to be very good with some peripherals (fightsticks), yet a little off on others (controllers).

In any event, look for the headsets on shelves sometime later this year.
