Modern Warfare 2 for Wii

Look if they made it have the same modes as the 360 and PS3 and make the graphics as good as Resident Evil 4, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Zelda Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime, or Mario Galaxy and run it off of 480p the game could be excellent. It obviously won't have as good graphics as the 360 and PS3, but these games show it's potential and Infinity Ward's magic could make a future for Wii firstperson shooters.

It would have to include online play and make it have the same online modes as 360 and PS3. Metroid Prime 3 is probably the best Wii first person shooter and it's controls were excellent. I liked Call of Duty World At War for Wii, but it has lots of room for improvement and it was rusty. It prooved that the Wii can makefirst person shooters that are fun, but didn't proove that wecan count on that for future game. Infinity Ward seeing Treyarch's mistakes could easily make a top Wii game.

I love the 360 and PS3, but it would be nice to have this on the Wii also because Iwant to tryModern Warfare 2on every platform. Many Wii owners would like a Wii Call of Duty that isamazing.If Infinity Wardmakes the controls excellent, graphics toping the Wii's potential, gameplay fun and having bonus modes like Nazii Zombies and more variety of online modes, Infinity Ward can proove that the Wii can have excellent shooters that Treyarch could not quite proove.

I also saw how amazing The Conduit looks and it has a 6 vs 6 online multiplayer with amazing graphics. This shows the Wii's potential for FPS games. I think it is very possible to make a good looking Wii FPS and I think Infinity Ward can do this easily.

Would love it, WoW was good on Wii, hopefully we see an improved version of that now that they know more about porting the game over.

Hopefully :P

I'd bet my manhood Infinity Ward is not touching the Wii version of this game. And I'll just buy the game for a console it was intended for.AlexSays

agreed. There is no way this game is not being outsourced so IW can focus on the PC, 360,and PS3.

Well actually it does, first of all you hate the Wii and are one of those people who don't care for any reason and say its a bad idea just because its Wii. Also this is a Wii forum so why are you even looking here.Johonywuzhere

Well, i'd rather a seperate team focus on a wii only version than IW port down. But we know that won't happen either. Whichever dev gets the wii version will also get the PS2 and PSP version too.

And didn't Treyarch make the Wii version of WaW, while the DS version was outsourced? Is it not possible that IW will do the same?clicketyclick

Infinity Ward is not Treyarch.

They want absolutely nothing to do with the Wii. And they didn't touch the DS version of their game.

It's absolutely nuts to think IW will make the game for the 360/PS3/PC and make the Wii version, so yes it isn't possible.

Activision will have someone handle the Wii port and I can almost guarantee they won't have a W in their name.

I don't think the Wii will provide the same sense of 'chaos' as the first one did.I'll pass if there will be a Wii version.

If you revise a bit, you will notice most games ported to ps2 and wii lately have diferent developers.Or a very capable one,able to split teams...intro94

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] You can make that argument up the ladder too. The PS3 and 360 can't offer the same level of chaos as the PC can, but one thing going for the Wii is the controls can handle a faster game than the other consoles can. The chaos would simply be different -- less players but faster gameplay.psychobrew

[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] Yeah,but the ps3 and 360 could handle COD4..Not only that,it did at 60fps.MW2 won't be much of a graphical update and it will still provide the same,if not better,chaotic environment. The Wii version's chaos wouldn't be different.Some sort of Immersion yes,but that is all.The game's graphics wouldn't even be close to what the 360 and ps3 will be offering.Lto_thaG

Maybe I need to try it again, but my FPS experience on the origional Xbox was pretty bad compared to the PC. I couldn't even find the action in the Xbox version of Star Wars Battlefront, which was fast and hectic and totally adicting on the PC. Halo wasn't much to brag about either, though my opinion could have been different if I had bought the PC version.

Makes sense. My preference would definitely be on the PC though, but sometimes I get tired of my "office" and would rather play in the family room. I do hope one of the other consoles come out with controls similar to the Wii next gen (along with the balance board for games like Skate It and Shawn White), or the Wii 2 becomes just as powerful as the others and gets the games I'm most interested in.

Someone mentioned in system wars how much they would love a Mario Paintball FPS with all the Mario craziness -- a game like that would kick some major butt and probably have widespread appeal.

Well technically its not up to Infinity Ward, they are subject to the whims of Activision. If Activision tells them to make a Wii version because they see a potential source of revenue then it will happen. Will it happen? Beats me, but it doesn't matter if Infinity Ward likes the Wii or not, it's not really their call. Sepewrath

[QUOTE="AlexSays"]I'd bet my manhood Infinity Ward is not touching the Wii version of this game. And I'll just buy the game for a console it was intended for.psychobrew

CoD: WaW was a decent multiplat on Wii, but it was missing so much and still wasn't pushing the hardware as much as it could. If they do make Moder Warfare 2 I hope nothing is missing and the only thing the Wii version is inferior with is the visuals. Those visuals, though, should be pushed as much as they can.

Uh yeah they can since Activision owns Infinity Ward. They work for Activision so what the boss tells you to do within your job title you do it. They also own the Call of Duty IP so Infinity Ward is subject to their whims like I said, the only say they have is the one that Activision allows them to have. Sepewrath

Uh, no.

They can't force Infinity Ward to make a Wii game.

Call of Duty 4 didn't come to the Wii because the head guy at Infinity said they didn't want the Wii to compromise the software. And Activision couldn't force them.

Activision can do whatever they want to the IP, not whatever they want to actual people.

For some reason you think contracts between developers and publishers are for indentured servitude.

You honestly don't think developers agree to make games, publishers say "Here do this!" and the developers say yes sir?

Uh yeah Publishers have a ton of say in what happens with titles, some will just stand aside and let developers do what they want others will hover over an entire project, though that is usually the case with license games. However they can technically get very involved in any project, especially when its not like say Sega picking up The Conduit from High Voltage, Acti/Bliz owns Infinity Ward, that company belongs to them. They give them projects to do, IW cant just do what they want like say a Marvelous or High Voltage. If Acti/Bliz lets them run with whatever they want, thats one thing, but technically they can make them do what they want because the company works for them. The head guy at Infinity can voice his concern, he can give in opinion, but at the end of the day, the decision is made over his head.

Maybe you don't quite understand how a business model works so here's another example, MS owns Rare. Rare cannot do whatever they feel like without first going through Microsoft, it was the same when they were working for Nintendo Titles developed here are 2nd party, meaning the console owner is the publisher and in many cases the majority owner of the developer team. So lets say Acti/Bliz had a console, a Call of Duty game would be 2nd party because they own both Infinity Ward and Treyarch. One more for you, say your the manager of a store and you set it up the way you want, you run that store, you make decisions there. But if someone from corporate, hell say the CEO of the corporation comes in and says they want you to do the exact opposite, you have to do it. Its not indentured servitude it is simply a pyramid and Infinity Ward is not at the top of it.

Maybe you don't quite understand how a business model worksSepewrath

I understand just fine.

Infinity Ward and Activision agree to a contract they both like. IW agrees to make games they've talked about with Activision. Activision can't just say after the contract "yeah now you're going to make this"

The team of guys didn't sign over their lives, as you make it seem. Developers and publishers agree to make games. Activision can do what they want with their franchise, but they can't force Infinity Ward to make a game they don't want to. It's not like it's a part of the contract either, because Infinity didn't touch Call of Duty 4 for the DS.

Infinity Ward will not make the Wii version for several reasons, one of them being they don't want to. I can't help you see that any further until the Wii version of this game comes out and it has another developer's name on the box.

Here's a question for you, what happens, in your world, if Activision tells Infinity to make Modern Warfare 2 for the Wii and Infinity says no?

Also, using your own example, you believe Rare doesn't talk to Microsoft about what they'll be working on? They just check their inbox and there's a message telling them what to do?

Depends on the reason for the refusal, but seeing how they are owned by Activision, "we don't want to make it" wouldn't fly -- they would have to have a solid reason. What would happen if Nintendo asked Retro studios, Intelligent Systems, or EADto make a game for the Wii and they refused? Someone would get fired.

No kidding. The entire FPS genre was not intended for dual analog. The argument doesn't make any sense either since each platform has its own development team (the game is not "ported").psychobrew
