They are not even like real triggers and sometimes when you put it down on a table, they accidentally push down by themselves. You don't even use them for Modern Warfare 2. I think PS3 should keep triggers but make it smaller and better.

The triggers actually work better if you get trigger covers to make them a bit bigger and a better shape. This way, they are very good for shooting and driving games. The only change I would make to the PS3 controller, is to make the R2 and L2 buttons that shape in the first place

I play other games besides MW2, and they require a lot of use of the R2 and L2, so I don't mind. I think they're ok.

actually MW2 does use the triggers. i take it youve never thrown a flash bang, stun or frag grenade, smoke screen, knife, set a spawn flare, etc etc...

they have a purpose, you just arent using them...

i bought a little add on for the R2 L2 buttons and they work a treat so much more better

they are called real triggers and fit over the top of the L2 R2 buttons so cheap as well
