Multiplayer games on the wii... a disapointing experience.

spdk1 saidyou only need the codes for your friends list, you can use their online matchmakers to play anonymous games with anyone around the world. But since you obviously hate the Wii so much, this will fall on deaf ears.

 

If I turn on my Xbox 360 in hopes of playing CoD4, and none of my friends are online that I play CoD4 with, I will not play CoD4.

 

See, I guess thats why i'm happy with the Wii's online setup- that statement is baffling to me. If I play a shooter online, i'm happy to jump in, make some kills and increase my online ranking or records or whatever that game needs, with total strangers. I always thought that was kind of the point of online play, that you could to play with and against people from all over the world - the need to know them is irrelevant, just knowing that they are real people and not CPU-controlled. When I play with my friends, I like it to be on my sofa/their sofa with some beers, in the flesh- which Is what happens.

Each to their own, I guess.
