We shared some of the first screenshots of Call of Duty 4 on Wii earlier today. Now some of the first details have been released.

– Gamescom version is “almost beta”
– Nothing was taken down from the original version, everything is included: every multiplayer map, every multiplayer mode, all the original AI in single mode, all campaign modes from PS360.
– DLC not included. Neither Wii Speak/Motionplus.
– One of the reasons they’re porting the game is to continue the evolution of Treyarch’s engine. Graphical improvements in some textures resolution, general performance, new particle effects. 30 fps.
– WaW connections numbers on Wii were over any expectation, and were a complete surprise, which is one of the reasons for this game/multi
– Online improvements: now up to 10 players, host migration and possibility to invite connected friends
– Dev team is similar to WaW’s: from 25 to 30 people
– IW’s role: Giving engine code last year, MW code now, and some supervision
– Controls: Everything is configurable, ala Conduit, in addition to being smoother and better. All parameters, new scope setting. Up to 6 presets: from “greenhorn” to “insane”
– Squad mate mode is back. Zapper also compatible with single player
– CG/VA/sound effects/ OST from PS360.

This information comes from a recent Radio-Blodec podcast. High Voltage Software’s Joshua Olson was asked about the other types of genres the company would be willing to explore, such as RPG or racing titles.

“The great thing about working at High Voltage is that we make a variety of games – shooters, games for kids. I personally would love to make a western RPG type game and so far and up until this point, that’s something that we haven’t done here at High Voltage.”

Hackers have been a pretty big concern for regular online players in The Conduit. One of the first exploits allowed a user to obtain infinite health/ammo, and that occurred only a few days after the game launch. Unfortunately, things haven’t gotten much better since then. However, it appears as though Nintendo is finally taking action to eliminate hackers.

An online hacker has taken a clear picture of an error message found when trying to connect to the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. A quick look up of the code shows that Nintendo is banning hackers for “unauthorized activity.” It’s great to see Nintendo moving in the right direction to protect their service, but hopefully these issues will become less problematic in the future.
