My brother and I were really looking forward to this game. looking forward to shooting each other up like in vanguard and redsteel. now what? we gotta buy another wii to play against each other? that really sucks. well theres always re:umbrella chronicles but thats co-op and redsteel 2. mayb someone esle will make a great offline fps. sigh. well this one's goin' off our 'to buy list' and into our 'rent' list.

yes it has 32 player online. ooooooooooh, online. so what. both my bro and myself are done with online games cause theres just to many cheaters, mods and quitters out there. recently, we decided we were gonna give strikers a go. cause mayb nintendo players are more honest. yeah....sure, our record so far is 4unfinished matches in a row! all our rivals left the games and we kept getting a message "your opponent has left / disconnected. please choose another' or something like that. so what if ur losing 5-2 or 3-0? u can still come back with some strategy, items or super strike. but no! its easier to just disconnect. so thats why we prefer offline games.

and wat about if friends come over? too bad eh? no offline when there's 2 or 3 friends over at our house. and wat if they don't have wiis? that means we will neve rplay against them?

thanks ea. u blew it.

im glad there focussing on the online experience, its moving the wii online forward

Lol, maybe moving it for EA games but not Nintendo, they'll always have Friend Codes... and lame random matches..

both offline and online are equally important. wat about ppl that don't have internet? no online therefore no multi? wat about when friends/ family come over and u want to shoot each other up? nope, not available.

look at smash bros melee. no online wasn't soo tragic? the fatc that freinds came over and u could trash talk each oither in person was just great. and ppl that didn't own a gc could play with u.

but in my case, wat am i supposed to do? buy another wii so i could play against my bro? prolly not. and if its split screen online for 2 ppl..we're prolly gonna be on the same team so if we want to shoot each other...ull have an odd 2 / 32 players that kill each other although they're on the same team....yea thats chaotic..but thats whats gonna happen.

Yeah, I agree. The main reason why Motorstorm flopped was because of the lack of an offline multiplayer.

A game with offline multiplayer but no online, I am fine with. A game with online multiplayer but no offline, well that's just the stupidest (or most stupid, however you want to put it) thing I've ever heard. I'd say something, but I'd just be repeating above comments. Hopefully, they'll fix this problem before the game comes out. If not, well, that'd just be idiotic.

I was looking forward to sniping my sister while she runs around uselessly, now I guess I will be stuck sniping people online...not exactly what I wanted.

nobody cares about offline, online is at critical point for the wii! this is great! this encourages ppl to play online!han_186

exactly they are putting so much effort into the online portion, they dont want it going unnocticed.

there should be no excuse for not providing offline multiplayer.icarus212001

From the interview, it seemed like it was simply a matter of resources. They could either make a fully functional online mode with no offline multiplayer, or do both and have unpolished experiences for both. Developers don't have an unlimited amount of time and money to create games, unfortunately.

Imagine yourself as part of a development team. You'd want to put as much in the game as possible at the highest quality possible. But your boss (probably a faceless group, in the case of EA) has only provided you with a limited time-frame and a limited number of coworkers. Either you can cut corners and do everything you wanted, or you can take the time and polish the most important parts of your game. The latter seems to be the better choice to me. But it probably pisses off a lot of programmers when they're not given the adequate resources to make the game they envisioned.

Offline multiplayer is something that you cant say is always a must. Many games like Bwii will not really work offline for multiplayer. You need the whole screen to do it right. I bet that MOH will be the same way.ag1052

and your enemies can see you flanking. Kinda like in all split screen versus games :P

First of all if a family member was coming I doubt they woud want to play a game where you kill each other. NHLMightyDucks

A LOT of people complained each time a FPS didn't include online for the Wii. Personally, Idon't really care so much as I also enjoy playing with people in the same room much more than people I don't even know. In any case, you can get Vanguard instead, or even RedSteel, both are pretty fun for offline multiplayer.

Ah, and yes, I do care about offline multiplayrm despitesome people saying "nobody cares for offline multiplaying"...

No, the reason is because there just isn't a whole lot to the game.

why cant it have ofline:question:RRR23

Because in order to maximize the online multiplayer, and the single player experience something had to be sacrificed. Devs have limits to what they can do, and making solid single player and online modes have stretched them as far as they can go.

well thats just too bad. maybe they'll add offline...its not like offline ever looks any good - graphics are always dumbed down and level designs are somewhat less so they could always slip it in. if they don't well , we're just hoping nfs prostreet has both..cause nfs w/o an offline mode would just suck.

oh yea, someone said "they'd doubt that family would want a game that shoots each other up", i say, u don't have any cuzins do u?

I think that online focus is a great direction. But the visuals REALLY do need to improve. The sand textures are terrible...

One thing though I am not so happy with it the graphics...they look very dated.
