Don't you feel tempted for MW Wii even though you have it on another platform?

I know I am, xD And it has all the essence for an FPS game. The only things that are sacrificed are Wii Speak, HD graphics and offline multiplayer. They're not that important.

I don't have it for another system, and I don't want this at all.

yeah a litte bit.

yea same here, I'm just so tired of FPS games in general they don't interest me at all anymore. I'm sure the game will be good but i don't really care about it for any system right now.

Offline multiplayer is extremely important to me. And if all they have is online, they're going to need Wii Speak.

They're not even trying with this one. People complain about shovelware? This is the definition right here.

An example of a shovelware would be NinjaBreadman. It indicates any product of disappointingly low quality due to a lack of time and effort by the developers.

Graphics : Better than WaW, and they don't make the game better. Heck, even there are bad HD games Players : 10 is a decent number still

Offline : A great feature but not essential. Killzone 2 is great with no offline multiplayer

Voice Chat : Since it's Nintendo, you're restricted to chat only with your friends. Do you want that?

Compare this game on how dumbed down it is compared to WaW. You'll see a huge difference.

Wrong.

Modern Warfare Wii is a port of one of the best games that ever came out.

Shovelware are games like Ninjabread Man and all those other games that start selling at $30.

There is a big difference man.

Tempted? Not at all. My PC will be upgraded by the the November release so I should be good.

Not one bit. I have it for 360 and I'll be getting MW2. No need for an inferior port of a 2 year old game with a brand new sequel coming out on the higher end systems in less than 2 months.

[QUOTE="bob_newman"][QUOTE="Pices"] What do you mean they're not trying? Mappable controls, graphics with higher resolutions, all maps, all perks, all weapons, 10 player online, etc. That IS QUALITY. Not shovelware.snover2009

I never compared it to Ninjabread Man. I said it was shovelware. Some shovelware is better than others. Doesn't make it not shovelware.

And being a port of "one of the best games that ever came out" (A WHOLE lot of opinion there), doesn't equal "one of the best games that ever came out". It's a port. A downgraded port. Look at Pac-Man for the Atari. Does that instantly make it a good game, because it's a port of a good game? Nope.

It's a half-assed effort, downgraded in every way possible (the original came out two years ago, you'd think they would have figured some of this stuff out by now), using the WaW engine (so basically all they're doing is copy-pasting), and selling for full price. It takes them no effort to make a game like this, that's why the pictures they showed were pre-beta, and they came out what, a couple months ago? And the game is releasing later this year. What's that, 5, 6 months worked on the game? That's shoveling something together. Not to mention they're using their C team to port the game.

It's a total waste of money if you already own the game, because that version is the "good" version of the game. This will not be "one of the best games that ever came out". Sorry, you're fooling yourself if you think that.

It's like people are so desperate for a FPS on the Wii that they actually resort to buying games like this and The Conduit. I'm not falling for it though. When 5 year old PC games are not only better looking, but have more robust features in every possible aspect of the game, that's a huge problem for me. I don't support half-hearted shovelware.

[QUOTE="snover2009"]

No it's shovelware. They're taking a two year old game, DOWNGRADING the graphics, REDUCING the amount of players online, REMOVING offline multiplayer, REMOVING Voice Chat, and they're going to be charging full price? You can't say that they're doing anything with the controls because they already had the controls mapped out from the last game (World at War), they just added user customization to it. So you're basically paying $50 so you can play a watered-down version of a game that you already own. That's shovelware at its finest.bob_newman

You do realize the only downgrade will be the visuals right?

Since this is a Wii forum, no one here really cares for cutting edge graphics.

World at War was fine, but had one major flaw, it was ****ing World War 2. Since this COD will not be WW2, it will automatically be better than WaW.

As unperfected as the controls are going to be, they are still going to beway better than that clunky analog stick that other consoles use.

When this game gets positive scores, I will be so eager to look on the looks of your facePices

I never said anything about review scores, did I? In fact, I even said that some shovelware games are better than others.

I'm confident that the game will get scores somewhere around the 70-85 mark, the single player story alone will be praised (you can thank the original for that though), but that doesn't mean that the game isn't a half-assed product that could have been a lot better if more than 6 months was put into it.

It's a rushed game with every feature of the original downgraded. Nothing about it is new, nothing about it is unique, reviewers and players have gotten over the fact that you can play FPS on the system so that aspect is not special anymore, and it's basically just another cash-in from a developer that knows that desperate Wii fans will pick just about anything up as long as it has guns and is in the first person perspective.

snover2009

10 player online, no offline multiplayer, worse AI, worse tech (very important in this game's cinematic single-player campaign), no voice chat support. There's plenty about the game that is a downgrade. Actually, everything's a downgrade save for the controls.

I've played the game on the PC so no point getting the Wii version.

But if i hadn't played it i would give it a try for sure, it's a great game both single and multiplayer, the best CoD out there for sure and considering "World at War" gets so many topics i'd say people areenjoying that ruined version ofModern Warfare:P. About the game being full price, it's a pitty indeed, but there is the same problem in the PC version, it's still at the same price as launch in Steam!

The Wii is the only system I buy games like this for. On the PC, I prefer open world games or games with better multiplayer (such as Battlefield).I wouldn't touch an FPS on a console with dual analog. For the Wii, this game is very tempting.

I don't have it for another system, and I don't want this at all.

10 players online is good enough. I have been in one of those 32 player online matches in MOH Heroes 2, it only leads to caos.

AI is not effected by hardware constraints. Maybe slightly, but not by much.

I don't care if it doesn't look to pretty just as long as it looks a little better than last gen.

They did mention that it will have all missions, all maps, and all perks, that is the important stuff.

I don't have a Wii Speak, so I really don't care about that, and the fact that you can only use it to talk to registered friends anyway makes it almost useless even if they decided to support it.

Have we had any visual updates on this game since the initial batch of six or seven screenshots? It releases in less than two months, and we hardly have enough information to make any confident judgments....

I'm not sure why anyone is assuming that THIS port is going to be so much different from the other ports from higher-end consoles. Almost everyone complains incessantly about downgraded ports, yet this one seems to be getting a lot of praise.

Maybe that's because we HAVEN'T had any visual updates since those first screenshots.... Our imaginations have been left to wander.

I just don't see why more people aren't insulted by this game. It's like when your older brother got a new pair of pants, and your mom just threw his old pair to you, but she missed and they fell in a mud puddle and she said "wear them anyway, be glad you got ANYTHING."

How is the game half-assed and rushed? It includes things that weren't in the original, and pretty much everything the Wii is capable of supporting is included. Lack of local multiplayer is minor, and the developers have already explained why it wasn't included.psychobrew

Like that crappy co-op gameplay?

Yeah thats something to get real excited about.

Oh please. The graphics can be better, A LOT better. Why doesn't it have Wii Speak support? Did people just buy the peripheral for Animal Crossing? No - People bought it so it would be used.

Developers need to start supporting it.

Imagine if Activision had skipped Guitar Hero 3 on the Wii, then finally released it on the same day that they released GH4 on the other consoles. GH4 had a ton of great new features and improvements over GH3, yet Wii owners just got the old game with nothing added. And it was made in just a few months. That would be half-assed and rushed.

I agree with the graphics, but hey, the Wii has such a shotage of FPSs that I can put up with inferior graphics, though WaW is my limmit.

It looks like a bad PS2 game.

That's fine -- that's your choice. For me, the IR controls are enough to make the game worth it, and it's the controls that will make the game much better than its counterparts. The controls are, after all, the reason I bought the Wii over other systems in the first place.psychobrew

Thats subjective - It'll be easier to play but not better for everyone.

Most people who play games regularlyare comfortable using a variety of control schemes - then it just comes down to a personal preference. Even with a 'better' control scheme, like you said, its missing features and visuals - which add to the experience of the entire package.

I'm excited for MW Wii, but I'll wait for reviews to see if it's actually any good compared to it's 360 and PS3 brethren.

Nope not interested at all. Looks poor graphically, not a fan of the Wii FPS control with the Wiimote and the sequel is inbound on the 360.

I know I am, xD And it has all the essence for an FPS game. The only things that are sacrificed are Wii Speak, HD graphics and offline multiplayer. They're not that important.

Gamespot's impressions on the game sounds really promising...

"the single-player game is exactly the same on the Wii as it was on the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3."

"this faithful reproduction also extends to the multiplayer side of the game, with all the same game modes, such as Search & Destroy, Domination, and Freefall all included. They're also all playable online. The only difference is that the player count has been reduced to 10 players"

"there's the squadmate mode, which allows a second player to drop into the game for co-op play. The second player uses the Wii Zapper peripheral or the Wii Remote and plays the game like an on-rails shooter, taking out enemies that the main player may have missed."

I really like the squadmate idea. It's definitely on my radar now. I'll get it if the reviews are positive.
