Gave this a bit more thought.
Setting: Roman Empire era
Controls: (wiimote/nunchuck) The first thing that we have to mention is that simply porting FPS controls to this game will not work. You need the wiimote to attack, so using the pointer to look won't work. Also, we don't really need to straif as no one has a gun. So here goes the controls...
Motion plus is used for your weapon. Control stick moves you. Z locks on to your enemy(like zelda). A button is your run button (just like the other CoD games) and your dodge/retreat button while locked on (like zelda). C crouches (just like the other CoD games). D-pad changes weapons. B is used for ranged attacks (Hold B to line up bow, hold Z and pull back string, let go oz Z to fire) (Hold B to ready a javelin, swing and release B to throw). Flick nunchuck to shield bash or use an off hand weapon (tilting the nunchuck would move your shield around slightly to better protect your sides and head).
About combat: Wii sports resort is a good start, but it's not very realistic. Blocking is done by holding your sword in a blocking position. Hold your weapon perpendicular to your opponents attack to stop the attack (or just use your shield if ya got one). The opponents attack will still carry through, but you won't take any damage and will just be knocked back a step and won't be able to attack for a split second (wiisports has your opponent knocked back off their feet and stunned, this is not realistic). To parry, simply attack back perpendicular to the opponent's attack at the same time. This is hard, but worth it as it will deflect the opponent's attack and knock their weapon away from their torso, leaving them open for a split second (think blocking in wiisports). Parry/counter is the most common way someone died in a fight in ancient times.
Single player: Players take the role of a Roman soldier around 170BC in the single player campaign. Like most CoD games, it is broken up into a series of missions, some small skirmishes, some raid, some full scale battles. Most would think that full scale battles would be impossible on the wii, but I think there's ways to do it. Consider the soldiers perspective. There's so much dust kicked up in a battle that no one can see more than 5ft in front of them. Also, unless your in the front line, you ca usually only see the back of your buddies head.
Multiplayer: An online deathmatch mode. This would easily be the highlight of the game. Choose your perks and equipment and kill everything in sight. These matches would be small skirmishes.
vs mode: Think Bushido blade. Choose your weapons and perks and fight 1 on 1 online or split screen.
