This one looks more interesting than the last, but still. COD has gotten worse every game since 4 with the exception of BO2.

Surprised how many people take umbrage with Wii U missing out on third-party ports. How many of you would buy the new Call of Duty on Wii U, anyway? Maybe 100,000? That number is probably over-tracked, not to mention Activision doesn't do digital versions of console games.
The aspect of 'future' is what puts me off this game, all I wanted was a more basic military shooter in with fun mp gameplay, without the silly gimmicks or unreal technology.
Which is why I wanted it set in Gulf War. Alas, I'll never get this so unlikely to buy another CoD either.
Hmm, pie.

Don't be silly, there'll be a Wii U version.
It just wont be advertised, mentioned or even confirmed (nor denied) when queried about.
What a stupid fucking name they should have called it Call of Duty: Futuristic warfare

It's not confirmed that it is missing out.

True, but that's not necessarily my point. My point was that if all the people who scream about more and more third-party titles skipping Wii U actually bought the third party games that do make it, there would be more. Supply and demand. It seems a shame that some developers invest millions into Wii U ports, and can't even break 100,000 in sales on some titles, while PS and Xbox versions reap 95% of sales for basically the exact same game. Ghosts on Wii U sold significantly less than Black Ops II on Wii U, despite Ghosts selling to a much larger install base of consoles.
I believe that third party games will only sell on Wii U if there's something about the Wii U version that appeals to people more than buying another version. There needs to be something that differentiates. I don't know if Off-TV Play is compelling enough of a feature to be that differentiating factor. I just think that Watch Dogs on Wii U is going to prove most people right and it won't sell well on Wii U, and it will give Ubisoft the perfect excuse to not do Wii U titles anymore beyond Rayman and Just Dance.

Wiimote support's the only reason I need to buy COD on Wii U. Hell, I'd never even consider getting COD on another platform.

But why? why should 3rd parties spend more time and more money on a version that probably still wont come close to selling as much as the others? They wont, it would make no sense.
