About Call of Duty Modern Warfare for wii

We know COD4 modern warfare for wii is coming, and boy,what an outburst it created. Theres a lot of hate going on.And i think some people has calm down and take things easily and rethink their arguments. I personally think,theres nothing wrong with a good game ported.Ok lets be specific here, since some people say COD4 is a bad game. Is generally accepted by the vast gaming population and critics as a good game. Lets get that out of the way first.

So its 2 years old...Very well, so was Okami ,Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil archives and loads more. Ports from past generations(not even current ones).Was that bad?did people complain? No and No. So why with MW2, a more current game?Because its from higher end machines(so its ok from inferior ones)? I feel this is illogic reasoning.A good game is a good game,bottom of the story.Should it have happened earlier?Probably so. Was it wrong it didnt happen back then?It depends. Okami didnt happen on the wii because the console didnt exist. And COD4 was stated to not being able to run on the wii back then.Theres a reason for both.It was a year later when Activision found a way to tuck the COD4 engine on the wii.Sure,perhaps shoveled in.But good enough.

But the argument redirects in defensive stance...Oh,because of the graphics. Now, heres the drill, The game on the wii (previous one), looked really fine(again, the general critics consensus,posting I THINK-or IN my opinion will never get anyone anywhere). Lets go with the consensus to stay on the same page.Now if you ask me, the game(WAW) looked fine for the most part. Satisfying.Now, theres a loss compared to the original version,definitively.How much did it affect the experience?it depends.Initially, yes.After some prolonged and heated up gameplay?no. When the extra corners are not your focus of attention,theres very little those elements do for the experience. If you keep the general presentation, the physics and objectives,gameplay, its a very similar experience in the end.Sure this doesnt apply for all games, like Dead rising(or the PS2 COD).But WAW did it.MW shouldnt be on the wii because visuals wont be exactly as good?even if they are great for the wii?Nonsense. Buying a whole new console or properly powered PC just for one game to look better?Sales of COD 3 and WAW proved people dont agree with that idea. 600 bucks(or 470 now)for that game because it will be look better?You really think every player is like that?

The main issue and the kicker here, is the fact that MW2 is coming out the same date.I think this is quite the biggest issue here.But understandable if you take in account all the factors. The truth is that activision didnt see the sales of COD games on wii to be so massive.Sure, not on par with the other consoles, but big ,huge enough. They expected decent sales of the white console ,not the big profits it reached this mid year. This turned their attention on the wii.It was huge loss not to include the market. But this didnt happen till MW 2 was far too into development.So they are now building the franchise they way it should, first the first, then (as they said, depending on the sales of MW1), the second will arrive. Sounsd fair and very feasible given COD 3 and COD WaW results. Sure, later ...But better than never.


"Every human being who had interest in COD 4 modern warfare already bought it for PC ,PS3 or 360".They bought the extra console or powered their PCs just for it". Seriously?Okami had no extra features on the wii..it came 2 years later than for playstation 2(a cheaper console!)...And it sold even better on the wii...Hell, COD3 for wii didnt even have online.Yet it sold.

Lets not forget,that several gamers enjoy a lot the controls for Wii in shooters.This, mitigates the visual loss.A full package, with all the maps from DLC that came after the launch?The million(or 2) of wii COD fans will jump on this wagon.Thats a bit too many from nobody.

All in all, theres no reason to get worked up.If you dont like the game, if you feel insulted by activision in a way or form,simply dont buy it.If you got it for another console, dont buy it.But dont even pretend for a second everyone is like you. Or like me.Because i have MW for PC.
