You are wrong about one thing crazybones. There is team survival where you can only die once. I am pretty sure there is reg ffa survival also. So there are at least 3 completely different modes in CoD:WaW on Wii.
Also, with all your bitching about the game you didn't even include the shadows (Edit- Oops you did mention shadows but not the reason why I would mention it). You can see shadows either from below or above you on different levels. I have used this helpful bug to get me a few kills on a few levels (mainly The Hanger). One more things, did you even mention the horrible glitch on a few levels (mainly Cliffside, which is a badass level but the ability to drop below the level totally sucks). Also, the whole friend invite system sucks. Getting invites from friends every 30 seconds or accidentally accepting their invite totally sucks. There has to be a better system. They should have at least asked you one more time if you accept the invite (are you sure you want to accept invite). Get a freaking loss even if you didn't mean to accept if you are in a game. There should also be an option to ignore invites from your friends. So if you are in a full group or just don't feel like getting invites then you won't be bugged with them. Don't think I can agree with you on N64 textures.. Maybe GCN but the graphics aren't completely terrible..
Decent first post and yes there is plenty room for improvement for the next game.
