 I guess we'd have to ask MW2 type players what they think.


I think they'll say something like : Pointing and shooting takes less skill

Definitely need a different kind of skill to use the keypad.
However, I think the keypad is the reason a lot of them prefer to camp rather than go searching for the enemy.

I play to enjoy the game in the manner I like to play. Like I said, we have a PS3 too but I never really enjoyed using it  inspite of the awsome graphics. I simply do not have the "skill". But, I'm sure a lot of us can hold our own (and then some) if there was ever a chance to play across the platfroms.

I know I can Roll Eyes

I played CoD on my brother in laws XBox and I was running around like on Reflex not even using the sights. That extra .5 sec you save can get you a kill.
He was amazed. xD

Pointing and shooting may be easier but it translates to all players. There are some that can really point accurately; much better than the rest. It makes things more fast paced so either be more accurate or you'll suck.

I'm wondering if using the other controls would be worth it to not have to deal with lag.

Well Mum, I think it is less intuitive but if you look up some MW2 videos on the internet you will see that there are some people who are extremely good at using those controllers. It can be done although it probably will not be a "natural feeling" compared to the Wii.

The greatly reduced lag is a huge advantage and a giant step over the Wii. If you can get used to and become proficient using those controls then, yes, its totally worth it.

Well, I play a lot of CoD:MW2 and Halo 3 and I got to say, I actually enjoy playing with the Wii controls better than the Xbox 360 controller. You're right about the camping thing though banthaPudu. In CoD:MW2, I do quite a bit of camping while on MoH:H2, I dash the moment my screen turns black. 90% I can join a game after the last round has ended and then leave before anyone else can even join the game so I play very offensively on the Wii Remote  but defensively on CoD. I think that the Wii has a much wider variety of skill than the 360. I mean, you can change the sensitivity of the joystick on the controller but it's just not the same as actual aiming. The difference between Sunday0627 and some noob is larger than a great player at CoD and a noob on there. Also, I enjoy playing the old N64 games despite the graphics. Sure, I enjoy better graphics but if a game has good game play/multiplayer, I'll still play it. Heck, I still play MoH:H2 sometimes. Tongue

I think it's obvious that Wii was an overall success no only because the sales, but because we can already see proof of Microsoft and Sony copying the Wii's sensing controls. Playstation with the Wand thing LT mentioned and Xbox with Nattel. Also, Nattel is going to cost around $200+ at least so in a sense, that will be their new "system". They probably won't come out with a new one until 2013 at minimum.

Okay according to a yahoo article I just read (http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/microsoft-no-need-for-new-xbox/1385047) the 5 year life span we have come to expect from consoles is pretty much over. The PS3 and the XBox 360 are here for a while longer. This is not too surprising to me as the consoles still have really nice graphics and the technology is not really too dated for a console IMO.

This brings a big problem though. Everyone knows that although Nintendo claims to have brought a state of the art, next generation console to the table, the Wii is still stuck in the last generation in regards to technology. If the life cycle of the consoles has been extended, does that mean that Wii users are stuck with antiquated technology for a long time?

What of the Wii 2? Is it feasible?

Yep, it's an old quote of mine. Please don't hunt for my old quotes. It makes me feel weird to read them. You know how you get all weirded out when you hear yourself on a voice recording? It's kind of like that.

Is that what you're pointing out or am I seriously derping?

How did Nintendo go from N64 (one of the greatest consoles of all time), to GC (people defend this system, but it was trash save for maybe 10 games), to the Wii which besides sales, was a total failure gimmick POS?

The Wii is ****, let's face it. Worst $200+ I ever spent. Twilight Princess was the best game, yet that game was also on GC. And now the Wii U is going to be even worse.


Ninty relies too much on bullsh!t like Mario/Zelda. Zelda is amazing, but they have to figure out ways to make it different/still good. **** Nintendo.
