IW might not be able to, but Treyarch definitely can.

Treyarch can do what?  Make a bad CoD game?  Oh yes, they can do that very well.

I give that post a 9.2.

 

The statement is perfectly clear.  Grow up.  IW said over and over again that the Wii could not handle Modern Warfare.  All the pirated videos of Treyarch's Modern Warfare efforts prove otherwise.  Now IW is at it again with MW2 and beyond.  IW may not be able to deliver on the Wii (and I give them points for admitting it), but there's no doubt that Treyarch can.

The only bad CoD Treyarch made was CoD 3 Wii, and that's because they only had two developers working on it.

Actually it was because they only had 8 months, but otherwise that's true.

I can't find the post, but I'm pretty sure that Treyarch developer who is on all the forums said they only had two developers working on it.

Overall, Treyarch's track record is spotty. The ONLY other shooter they did for the Wii is World at War and it is only a decent game (after reading they didn't actually develop Quantum of Solace for the Wii, but they did for other systems and it was still crap).  I might take excuses from a developer if they had a better history, but Treyarch is, overall, an "OK" developer.

You throw words around like "definitely" and "without a doubt" when it just doesn't fit.  The Reflex gameplay looks ok in the videos (although visually it looks a bit like playing a shooter on my P4 era computer).  Treyarch isn't the kind of developer where i would buy one of their games without a review first.  If they pull this port off than I might be convinced that they can port MW2 with simiilar gameplay, but still unconvinced they can reliably develop a good shooter on their own.

I give that post a 9.4.
