I remember you saying you stopped playing one of the Call of Duty's because of how overly competitve it got on with kids that have razor sharp reflexes. I'd imagine that's less of a problem on the Wii version. For the same reason I'd imagine the added precision from a mouse isn't much of a bonus for you.

You're a self-proclaimed graphic whore, but for high-end PC's, so I'd wager you've seen things much more impressive graphically then Call of Duty: World of War, and from everything I read the graphics haven't changed much from Call of Duty 4, so that probably takes some of the excitement out of it.

Lastly, you said it's based on what feels more realistic and immersive, and that seems to favor the Wii Remote since holding it is closer to holding a gun then dragging a mouse around. Assuming the motion controls aren't completely bonked like they were in Call of Duty 3, I'd imagine you'd pick the Wii.

 

 

Just a minor nitpick - the mouse is not more precise than the Wii remote. Both have enough accuracy to point at a single pixel on the screen.

 

 

Equally accurate, perhaps, but the mouse is more stable. You rest the mouse on a smooth, level surface rather than on your knee. Breathing and wrist tremors are less likely to move the cursor.

But that stability comes at the price of carpal tunnel. For me, comfort counts. Easier to share with others when you have a couch and a big screen, too. I'm almost done with PC gaming entirely.

Sounds like the wiimote is perfect for shooters then.  All the things that affect a real sharpshooter will affect you as well just because of the fact you have to have a steady aim.  So as long as they have good physics of distance/wind/gravity and all that affect teh bullet the Wii is best.  Mouse being as stable as you said is like cheating, and why they add in that stupid whobbly aiming in games.

 

I don't play too many FPS games and only have RE4 and Metroid 3 for the Wii so I don't know if they got rid of that stupid feature in the Wii games.  I don't see why they woudl have it in there, you have to aim yourself and have those shaky tendencies yourself.

 

Edit: to OP sounds like fun game, though I ain't a huge fan of FPS.  Though reading did make me want to replay Metroid again becuase was thinking again how fun it was.  Just some of the stupid small things like turning the locks to open doors and pulling sheilds made the game so damn fun. OR pulling a lever.  Thats not even to mention the fun of aiming wherever on the screen and not having to use to analog sticks.  (and no i'm not bad at them, don't have to be bad at them to hate them)
