Ehh no voice chat, alright.. sure, but everything else makes up for it. And yay, I'm glad COD would be the game to save us ...


- Pretty much anything tagged with the name Call of Duty seems to sell these days, and for good reason. Infinity Ward's shooter series has been a consistently standout experience, from the original PC version through to the megahit Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Previously for the Wii audience, only Treyarch's Call of Duty: World at War was available, but coming this November the same developer will be reworking Infinity Ward's modern day firefight to run on Nintendo's console.

As Treyarch stated up front at a Gamescom 2009 hands-off demo session, the Wii version of Modern Warfare will include all the features of the online features of the other versions. That means the entire leveling system, all the perks and unlocks, and everything else that helps make Modern Warfare such an addictive online experience. While World at War on Wii only supported up to eight players at a time, Modern Warfare will feature support for 10. This comes at a cost, unfortunately, as Wii Speak will not be supported. The game will also not use Wii MotionPlus.

That being said, Treyarch is confident they're delivering a better product than World at War. It'll feature host migration (meaning if a host leaves an online game it doesn't just quit out), there's a more streamlined process of inviting in friends to play, and the game will have fully customizable controls. You'll be able to aim with either the Wiimote or the control stick, and adjust a number of dead zone sliders and precision aiming modes. And if you have one sitting around, you can also use a Wii Zapper.

There's also the option for co-operative play, something that was not in the previous versions of the game. At any time while someone's playing through the single-player campaign another Wiimote can be turned on and activated so that a second aiming cursor shows up onscreen. While the main player will still control the gun and orientation of the screen, the second player can fire anywhere within the field of view and even pick up different weapons as they're walked over by the main player. This doesn't change anything about the game (enemies don't suddenly become more difficult when the second player is active), but it should be a welcome feature for anyone who finds the game too challenging or would prefer a more social gaming experience.

Treyarch said a number of engine enhancements have been made as well, with higher texture resolutions than World at War and better particle effects. After seeing Modern Warfare Wii in motion, however, it's wasn't particularly impressive compared to prettier Wii games like Super Mario Galaxy and Metroid Prime 3. Even so, the version of Call of Duty 4 this is based on is still a fantastic shooter experience and features one of the best multiplayer suites around. Here's hoping the Wii version can stack up. Look for more information once some hands-on and multiplayer hours are logged.


The most HILARIOUS thing, on theconduit.info , someone asked HVSTony what he thought about CoD4 coming for the Wii and how it will compete with The Conduit, and he responds with "you guys haven't seen anything yet"

LMFAO... like as if HVS is going to pull something better. Maybe their next game will only take 5 instead of 10 minutes to join!!! Whoa! and maybe there will only be a 50% chance of getting the spawn glitch instead of an 80% chance!

Let's face it, HVS is a joke and hyped us all up for no reason at all. Treyarch and Infinity Ward put something together that is essentially up to par (except in terms of lag) with the 360/ps3 versions, even if it is late.

At least in pubs, we will not have to deal with 1 bar lag anymore, because the host migration (if a host can't keep a steady connection or he quits the game, the match ends, but the group of people stay and a new host is selected and the match begins in 9 seconds). I hope you major clans come back and I hope to see you all. I honestly can't wait!! Smiley Especially Zzz, I hope to see you on gamebattles to show you what I'm made of Smiley

Oh yeah, fixed Friend Invite system =) =)

I LOLd at HVS Tony's response. HVS is a **** poor company, which only made a FPS on the Wii, because it had no GREAT ones to start off with. HVS thought they could make some easy money, because there really was no competition among FPSs for the Wii. However, HVS fell flat on its ass, delivering a horrid FPS which makes Red Steel look like GOTY.

Well what do they intend to do about Hackers?

I'm guessing that Treyarch got MW because they can use part or all of the WaW game structure to make MW, that means there is a good possiblility that the hackers will be in from day one, as the codes used to hack WaW may verywell work in MW.

I may wait a week or so, just to see if they do come into the game from the start with the infinate ammo, infinate health, Hulk leaping abilities and teleport.  That pre-order crap ended with Conduit, as far as Im concerned.

I'm not a fan of hosts, but this host migration thing will definitely make it more bearable.

I agree with BadDaddy on the preordering stuff.

Hackers will be here, no doubt.. but still, there's tonnes of game modes so the chance of you running into a hacker is LESS because they will most likely eff up TDM.

Yea, SnD will make this game much better. Even with the lag (though the devs said that the connection should be better than WaW) SnD is probably the most fun you can have in a video game, and it is a very good team objective game.

And montages are on CoD4 more than WaW, so i think that will motivate some ppl to get this game. If i still had my wii, this would be my most anticiapted game. The weopon balance is almost perfect, many ppl complain about M16s and P90s but they are not as unbalanced as Mp40 where as complete noobs can kill a at least decent player within 1 second. In CoD 4 every weopon has the potential to be used in a clan war, yes im talking about LMGs, Snipers, Assualts, and SMGs. So if i were you guys i would be very pleased that there is even a new game coming out soon, and not just that, its CoD 4, one of the best multyplayer games of all time (x10 better than WaW IMO) Cool
