this game looks like it will rock very much. :)

This is just amazing. I so can not wait for this game. I am not looking at the bad parts because a game always has bad parts but I will overlook it and look at the good things. Multiplayer is the best on the Wii, graphics are the best on the wii, controls are the best on any platform, and the best fps the wii has to offer. GREAT!

Except this pretty much neuters any attempt for team based online play. This isn't HVS's fault as we know, and they clearly say this isn't ideal but they are obligated to follow Nintendo guidelines. As I've said before, Nintendo's WiiSpeak implementation requiring friend codes (or friends of friends or whatever) shows that nintendo chooses family friendliness at the expense of online functionality. Given the focus this game in particular has on online MP, that's a bad thing. This is kinda sad as any game, no matter how great has to conform to these standards on the Wii.

Just as an example, if a VGC league started and it had twelve members who all had WiiSpeak, each person would have to add eleven friend codes just to be able to hear everyone, assuming nobody is friends yet. That's just absurd.

the online vid looks awesome. I just cant wait till june 23. going to be awesome.

Looking more and more like a first day purchase.
