Activision: Call of Duty 4 Wii will probably be the best multiplayer FPS for the system

August 24th, 2009 Posted in News, Posted by Valay, Wii

Even though The Conduit has suffered from a few online glitches and hackers, the system in place is still quite favorable for online gaming for Wii. Unfortunately, there aren’t many other FPS titles to choose from when it comes to playing with others through the Internet. Perhaps Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will change that situation, though. Daniel Suarez, Activision’s Executive Producer for Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Wii, stated at GamesCom that the company is developing what will “be probably the best multiplayer first-person shooter coming to the Wii.”

“And what Treyarch has done is they’ve ported this game to the Wii, really leveraging the great component of the system, the controls, and really delivering what we consider to be probably the best multiplayer first-person shooter coming to the Wii.”

Thanks to julio for the news tip!

    to be the best,

    Your expecting all that from a console, equivalent to a ps2 lol. How is the wii gonna fit all that on a 4gb disc with crappy and laggy online features?It can’t even handle 6 players online let alone 12 or 18. I guess the ps2 can do more with its 6gb disc lol. Wii has last gen graphics. So you can count yor “i want better graphics” You get what you pay for kid. Face it kid just buy a PS3 for $299/£249.

    The Wii is around as powerful as the Xbox. Also, if I recall, The Conduit supports 12 players online and it wasn’t laggy.

    Also, Wii discs can be 8gb by being dual-layered. Although, Brawl is the only game to have a dual-layer disc.

    And seriously? You say the Wii can’t handle 6 players online? Where did you get this from?

  8. By Ripoff on Aug 25, 2009

    say whatever you want mate but seriously the wii is a gimick and a ripoff. for a last gen tech they charge you a pretty hefty amount for a console that so many people are falling for is its wiimote. with hardly any good games worth playing or replaying. its the same old shit like wiisports, wii fit etc nintendo only wants money, little kiddies will cry to their mum for a wii after seeing a wiimote advert on a kids tv channels. “OH WOW NEW WAYS TO PLAY”. the ps2 also in fact has dual layer dvd and some games do use it e.g. GT4. it also has more and better games. if ur seriously asking for some multiplyer games then why didnt you buy a ps3 or 360? or buy it for ps3 or 360?
    i was relating the online to a friends house who was playing cod W@W, but maybe he had shit connection. face it wii online is SH!T.

    @Ripoff
    ok before anyone jump on me I was directed from N4G.com.
    On true ohnesty I agree with Ripoff. I had a Wii for about 18 months then I sold it. All the console ever did for me is collect dust I mean SERIOUS DUST. Many games feel poor IMO and force you to buy some sort of prefial (my english is poor), I am a serious PC gamer and have no consoles currently. Im also a sort of technology nerd but I to have agree with Ripoff, the console is a ripoff for a rather old piece of technology, should be dirt cheap. Come on Vigeoman the Wii has some **** games, most are either old or sports games. They should have called the console WiiSports IMO

    If the Wii is such old tech and worthless, then why are your consoles of choice chasing after the market Nintendo has already? Why is Sony making it’s own wiimote? Your arguement sucks for the simple fact that your HD choices are chasing the Wii down for it’s great gaming direction and it’s market share. Just because they didn’t make a console to lose money on each unit like the others did, does not make their tech old. They used current components that were affordable to the gamers. The others wanted the latest and greatest and that’s what they sold you. Nintendo went with what’s current and great and that’s what they sold. Too the idiots talking up their HD consoles, have fun with your wiimote knock offs. True great gaming doesn’t involve CGI graphics. If you care about graphics so much, then you aren’t a gamer and just an idiot and there is no point arguing with you. One more thing, quit comparing your PS3 with the 360 for graphics. I’ve seen those games ported to your PS3 and they look much better on the 360. PS3 graphics just don’t seem as rich and detailed as the 360 graphics. Does Ghostbusters sound familiar on that?

    Where does the need to put down other consoles come from? Why do people always feel anxiety over other people’s personal preferences and taste be it music taste or gaming?? What are we third graders???

    Well… let me be a third grader then.. or the big 6th grader bully. Here we go! I love it how every single article about an actual potential GREAT Wii-game is turned into a warzone by ignorant narrow minded X360 or PS3 -fanboys :D . PC-guys are like “bump all this, we got the mouse”, and they shut up :D .

    Hey, if you like to thumb wrestle while shooting with your control pad, go ahead. I mean it’s what most of us are used to – or what some of us used to be used to. No one blames you! Do what every superior game system (read PC) gamer does and shut the heck up and play.

    I prefer my FPS’s pointing and shooting, not thumb wrestling. When the PS3 wand comes out… sure then Wii price will start to look like a ripoff but until then it’s all Wii.

    look 360/ps3 for consoles that say they render 1080p and cant with out poor framerates and i dont mean games that take 100 million budget with a team of 300 i mean games that have a realistic budget timescale wow u could get 1080p on wii with that budget look 360 games are made in 640p or 576p 30fps to do stuff like antialaising and upscaled in-house microsoft said this last week so really 360 is behind on tech isnt it if it cant do what it planned out to do m8 ps3 is nearly as bad but does 1080p more easily but still cant do good frame rates on all games the wii does what is says 480p at 60fps so wii is powerfull for a ED games console,360/ps3 are weak HD systems fact Wii HD will do 1080p at 60fps nintendo strive off big frame rates 60-90fps for WiiHD at 1080p is when i jump on the HD band wagon sorry guys oh its not an english lesson so dont quote me on that this is a quick draft

  18. By matt on Sep 10, 2009

    in terms of tech 360/ps3 are more behind than wii for what each console is trying to do wii=480p 60fps 360=576p 30fps PS3=720p 30fps at least wii can do 60fps at a decent enough resolution this is down to fast processors not slow powerful ones sorry guys thats why games like MH3 made there way to wii good framerate with high end graphics on a normal timescale and budget something nintendo will do with WiiHD make it cheap to develop high end 1080p 60fps graphics its a fact all the 360/PS3 are doing is paving the way for nintendo to do things right where 360/PS3 did it wrong and thats being able to render games properly at 720p/1080p at 60fps with full antialaising
