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!
