It's done by Treyarch, so we know one thing. It'll be sh*t.
Posted by Amish McSwegan
hope they get a decent online multiplayer set up for it (if any).
Posted by YCshinobi
Treyarch lol.

Oh well. hopefully it won't a complete cash-in, and they actually make a good job of it.
Posted by bmaindj
Only about 2 years late, but the fact treyarch are on the case could mean this game has shite written all over it.

A bunch of mii's running about in sas gear with invisible legs and arms me thinks!

knowing how bad the wii is online and the painfully slow load times even for the shopping channel, what the hell are the lobby’s going to be like. They are bad enough on cod 5 on my ps3 never mind with the wii’s almost unacceptable level of speed when it comes to online stuff. I get bumped 10 times a night what with migrating hosts and lack of rip of map packs loaded on my ps3. imagine the waiting times on the wii :x
Posted by leefear1
To be honest the load times for the shop channel are strangely slow, however all the online wii games I have played have been quick loading and had hardly any lag.

I said it before and I'll say it again...

Call of Duty 4: Modern Wagglefare

*Gets coat from hook*
Posted by goomba_lover
I wonder how faithful a port this is... hopefully Treyarch won't mess with too much, and the online is deffo a concern! But hell... maybe they will surprise us... maybe (though I'll be playing MW2)
Posted by milky_joe
Either way, it'll probably be better than The Conduit.

Although that's not really saying much...

1. It's done by Treyarch, so we know one thing. It'll be sh*t
2. ...the fact treyarch are on the case could mean this game has shite written all over it.
3. Treyarch lol.

I really fail to understand this huge hatred towards Treyarch. Call of Duty 2: Big Red One, Call of Duty 3 and World at War all received good reviews. It seems that they live forever in Infinity Ward's shadow, and there is this pathetic fanboyism that if people prefer what Infinity Ward do, they have to hate Treyarch with a passion.

Who am I kidding though, it's the same narrow minded attitude and unnecessary hatred that is aimed at the Wii owners by 'superior' hardcore gamers who can only see through HD glasses and dismiss anything different with a stupid blind loyalty to their brand.

Treyarch actually did a good job with CoD W@W on Wii, so if they can build on that, improve the framerate, tighten the controls to MP standards, add to the online (include voice chat via Wii Speak) and manage a decent port of CoD 4 then it should be a top title for Wii owners.
Posted by goomba_lover
On a positive note... maybe this will help develop/improve on the engine WAW used on Wii for future games...
Posted by Miss_Wacy
people who say those things are narrow minded your right, waw on the wii is exellent and so will modern warfare be aswell

WAGGLE WHAT DRUGS ARE YOU TAKING YOU DONT WAGGLE IN A FPS GAME DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW A WII WORKS """"WAGGLE"""

SO GIVE MII EVIDENCE OF WHAT WAS THAT """"WAGGLING""""

PLEASE EXPLAIN ONES SELF BECAUSE I WAS PLAYINMG COD WAW FOR 7 HOURS LAST NIGHT IN MY ROOM (SPLIFF IN ASHTRAY) I DIDNT ONCE COUGH WAGGLE

WHAT I INFACT DID WAS PRECISION AIM FASTER AND SWEETER AND MORE IMURSIVLY THAN I EVER COULD ON A OBSOLETE PS3 PAD OR X360 PAD VASTLY QUICKER VASTLY TIGHTER AND VASTLY EASIER TO USE I DID NOT WAGGLE ONE BIT ALL NIGHT WHAT HAS WAGGLIONG GOT TO DO WITH IT

DO PC GAMERS WAGGLE THERE MOUSE ERM NOOOOOOOO SO PLEASE TRY MAKING SENSE

I ENJOYED MY WAW SESION LAST NIGHT I PLAYED IN 2 WAYS """"BOTH SUPERIOR TO PS3/XPAD CONTROLS

WAY,1. I PLAYED VIA NUNCHUCK AND WIIMOTE EACH CONTROLLER IN ONE HAND I ANALOGED AROUND THE LEVELS (NUNCHUCKS ANALOG IS SWEETER AND TIGHTER THAN XPADS AND PS3S FACT) I AIMED AND SHOT VIA A WIIMOTE WITCH I MOVED WITH SLIGHT WRIST AND FINGER MOVEMENTS AT NO TIME DID I WAGGLE OR WAVE

I THEN CHANGED TO ZAPPER MODE I PUT CONTROLS INTO CASING I SET MY ZAPPER CALIBRATION I THEN PLAYED COD WAW ONLINE WITH FULL FPS CONTROLS BUT IN A EASIER PICK UP ARCADE GUN I COULD STILL ACCESS ALL CONTROLS AND AIM PERFECTLY

BUT I GAINED A ADVANTAGE USING THE ZAPPER MY FROM THE HIP AIMING AND LONG DISTENCE SCOPING IMPROVED

PLAYING FPS ANY OTHER WAY IS """""LAST GEN""""""

I WOULDNT PLAY FPS ON A STALE OLD DUALSHOCK AND XPAD AINT MUCH BETTER

ZAPPER OFFERS KEYBOARD AND MOUSE PRECISION IN A EASY ARCADE GUN

WIIMOTE/NUNCHUCK OFFER KEYBOARD AND MOUSE PRECISION IN A EASY TWO HANDED CORE GAMER CONTROL SET UP

ADD 3DV MOTION YOU HAVE UNRIVALED CONTROL

IF ITS POLISHED AND NOT GIMPED IM GETTING THIS AS I ONLY PLAY FPS


"""""""""""""'WITH NEXT GEN PRECISION CONTROLS""""

AS IM A """"""CORE GAMER""""""""""""

DUALSHOCK IS D-PAD BASED 3 GENERATION OUT DATED CASUAL BUTTON MASHER DESIGN

IT HAS NO PLACE IN FPS GAMES ITS """""""OLD"""

Sorry, I just don't have much faith in Treyarch after I played CoD3 on both the 360 and PS3 and it was terrible. I then played CoD5 on both and that was equally terrible. It's fine now but when it first came out it felt unfinished-it felt like it was still in beta testing.

WII HAS THE FAASTING LOADING THIS GEN JUST AS DS CRAPPPS ON PSP AND GAMECUBE CRAPPPED ON XBOX AND PS2

FASTING LOADING CONSOLE ON EARTH WII

FASTEST LOADING HANDHELD ON EARTH DSi

what drugs are you guys on apparantly wii has poor online sorry utter trash talk its got the most stable wifi online ping speed out there

wiis wifi online gaming is 60 frames a second no lag whats so ever try playing mario kart online its floorless

and cod online is the same on all 3 consoles the same servers the same re sporn speed the same next match count downs intermissions

all 3 consoles have the same cod online set up

and wii has the fastest loading speeds


i love how idiot sony fans drop them selfs init

wii offers ps3 busting loadtimes and without any installs


wii games load faster with nooooooooooooooo installs than ps3 does with installs


online function loading sorry again you lose as home on ps3 is the slowest online console service there is even after connection and boot up into home

everything you do and every area you go is plaged with out ragus loading times

loadspeed wii fastest then x360 and ps3 long long way behind in 3rd place bluray= shit

home = shit

longgggggggg loadtimes even sonys pspgo with no disc still has longer loadtimes than ds/dsi psp gt has tredful loadtimes on pspgo videos

how come poor sony design thats why

x360s wifi lags and losses conection so does ps3 there better on wire


wii is rock solid on wifi

i play in a up stairs room in a huge 5 bedroom old terrice house with solid brick walls and stone walls my net gear box is in living room my wii in bedroom/fun room (i have a set up away from kids)

my wii gets full 5 bar wifi conection and is rock solid online

only gimped games get crashes like cods servers but that is a developer and server issue as it effects pc,ps3,xbox.wii,ds its a dev issue not a console issue

its a fact that online hosts get a strong connection as does the next picked player all the rest get a weaker connection

and again that applys to all 3 consoles as its a server issue


i challenge any x360 owner to a wifi conection stabillity test wii vs x360

i challenge you this wii is far faster and far more stable on wifi than x360

ill bet anything you want DO YOU KNOW WHY BECAUSE I KNOW IM 100% RIGHT

WE HAVE A 360 IN THIS HOUSE ITS FAN IS LIKE A VACUM CLEANER LOUD AS FUKK ITS DISC LOADTIMES IN GAME STINK ITS CONTROL PAD IS WEAK AND CLUMCY AND ITS WIFI CARD IS A BAG OF SHIT ARE WII STAYS CONNECTED FOR WEEKS AT A TIME BUG FREE

X360S WIFI CARD CRASHES LIKE EVERY 20 MINUTES IF YOUR LUCKY


HAND ON HEART TRUTH STOP MAKING THINGS UP


LONG LOADTIME FANS/OUT DATED CONTROLLER FANS I.E PS3 X360 FANS



EVERY SINGLE X360 OWNER I KNOW COMPLAINS THE WIFI CARD DUMPS OFFLINE EVERY 5 MINUTES AND IS NEVER STABLE IT ALSO HAS A SIGNAL STRENGTH THATS AS WEAK AS PISS IT CANNOT GET A SIGNAL FROM LIKE 10 FEET AWAY


MY WII PICKS UP EVERY WIFI SIGNAL ON MY STREET AS IN EVERY HOUSE WITH WIFI GETS PICKED UP I EVEN USE THE UN PROTECTED ONES WEN MY OWN VERHIN NET GOES DOWN

X360/PS3 WIFI COULDNT DO THAT THERE ARIAL STRENGTH IS WEAK AS PIIIIIISSSS

Well ain't you clever the Wii is bound to load quicker than the Ps3/360. :roll: Would you like a gold star?


THe Gamecube loaded far quicker than the Wii, some games on the wii take ages to load.

As for the DS loading quicker another gold star coming your way, everyone knows cartdridge's loads quicker than cd's/dvd's.

kingwiiboy101, a new name but still the same old shit being posted.

If you do really have kids I honestly do feel sorry for them, a dad like you would be a cross to carry.

Oh and for god sake leave off the caps lock and learn to spell.

Unlucky, If you didn't know already Treyarch are sh*t. Infinty Ward are the Kings

jesus... kingwii... who can't understand the basics of a 'joke'... you know... oh it doesn't matter..
Posted by blackholes
I'm pretty sure Treyarch are developing MW on the Wii because they've done CoD 3 and WaW on Wii and so have the control scheme already down. So it would be easier. I don't think Treyarch are s*** btw they've done a great job and IMO WaW is the best CoD to date, despite the odd problem with bugs and glitches.
Posted by ei8hty5ive
I don't want to rain on your fanboy brigade but Wii outsold PS3 10 times over?! Currently the wii has sold roughly 52 million and the PS3 has sold, roughly, 23 million...Not exactly 10 fold...Which school did you go to? Oh maybe you're still in school judging by your CAPSLOCK COMMENTS and spelling mistakes...lol
Posted by lmimmfn
I HAVE CAPSLOCK TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by sfk1973
every1 is entitled to there opinion,but evry time treyarch made a cod game its dog awfull,got a neighbour like you its called rose tinted specs,cmon speak sense!
Posted by WHERESMYMONKEY
Personally i'd rather play The Conduit. Best MP on the wii i'd say.

Although i do think that MW will be a good addition to the library. However i have a feeling this means that the wii will have a 2 steps forward one back approach with the COD from now on. considering you can already get 3 and 5 for the system.

We'll see how it fairs in Novemeber. Its not like it'll have much competition. just Fragile, And Muramasa, and some game to do with a plumber.

Wait **** that i think my moneys going elsewhere.
Posted by davidc
..i don't get it ..wots so awful about cod3 and cod w@w..??...both look great , play great and cod w@w is great online. cod4 is still probably better than cod w@w but that doesn't make it awful...cod4 is better than most games.
Posted by milky_joe
I think he could possibly be talking about Japanese sales this week on the back of Monster Hunter launching, but then it's hard to comprehend what the hell he's rambling on about anyway...
Posted by gothchild
I agree. I'll admit I was about to post some Treyarch hate as well, and would much rather infinity ward do the job, but world at war wasn't bad, you're right.

Hating on the Wii is just fashionable at the mo.
