Forums - Nintendo Discussion - A few quick questions about CoD: WaW Wii.

I was thinking of buying this game on my Wii so my friends and I could play it together, but I have a few questions about the game.

 

Does it have splitscreen co-op in story mode? It has 4 player splitscreen multiplayer, right? (It better damn have that)

 

Also, what different game modes are there for multiplayer?

The game doesn't feature split-screen multiplayer.

What it does have is a 2-payer coop mode, in which one player is the "main player" like you are when playing single player, and the other is on "on rails" mode, in which he can shoot, pick up weapons, change weapons, throw grenades, etc. It's basically a drop-in mode that's pretty fun, but you can't walk through the levels together independently.

The competitive multiplayer is online-only, and done very well.

No splitscreen multiplayer? What the hell...

 

Does any Wii FPS game have splitscreen besides Red Steel?

NO, buy Quantum of Solace Wii instead, it have DEFINITELY have great splitscreen co-op even the graphics are sacrificed for it. I will definitely buy Quantum of Solace Wii instead than COD WAW Wii maybe next month because of the splitscreen mode.

And the maps are suitable for 2-4 players, you wont end up finding your enemies QoS definite buy.

Quantum of Solace has 4 player split-screen and 4-player online.

Far Cry Vengeance has 2-player splitscreen and is a terrible game.

Actually, I'd still highly recommend Call of Duty World at War. It's undoubtly the best shooter on the Wii, I'm even pretty sure it's better than The Conduit will be.



wfz on 20 December 2008

Well I probably won't get COD then, since I don't play online very often at all. What I was looking for was something to play with my friends all in the same room. Do the COD developers think we have no real friends? :P

So Quantum of Solace, then? Is it good? Well I have a crapload of fun playing Red Steel with my friends all the time, so my standards aren't exactly high.



wfz on 20 December 2008

Wow IGN gave it a 4.5, maybe I'll rent it first..



Voltaire on 20 December 2008

Well Red Steel wasnt exactly praised either. Anyway splitscreen is becomeing harder and harder to find in modern games.

But if you want splitscreen FPS on Wii, you basically have to get QoS.
