Forums - Nintendo - Modern Warfare 2 is not on the Wii!

Especially since the gesture controls are not used (rarely) in a Wii FPS. It's the IR controls that them more physically immersive.

Game pads are fine but not as good as IR controls.

and so my zapper goes back to the attic :\



hey, there is still hope...

this spanish website claims to know that there will be a wii edition, thought Activion hasn't pronounced about that.

so this is just another rumor.

EDIT: forget about what is written above, there is already a topic *fail*

My guess is that IW is not developing this game and is some other random developer like ds version of MW1

Infinity Ward is actually the one's that finished optimizing the Call of Duty 4 engine for the Wii. After IW finished optimizing the engine for the Wii, they handed it over to Treyarch so they can get familiar with it and get their hands in it. In this process, Treyarch worked around the things they wanted in their game and what couldn't make it in the game with the engine. And some of the things were cut due to time and cost and to Wii hardware.

Do you know what confuses me. Why do people say "Infinity Ward hates the Wii?" They clearly don't and I have talked to IW's Robert Bowling (FourZeroTwo) on many occasions and asked him on his thoughts about the Wii. He says "It's a great console, with a lot of potential." He has no problems with the Wii whatsoever. Infinity Ward loves the Wii.

Why would Infinity Ward finish optimizing their engine for the Wii, then never release a game for that particular console?

And the reason why Call of Duty 4 never came to the Wii was because Infinity Ward was trying to port the engine over to the Wii but sadly they didn't have enough time to do so. Activision said they HAD to release the game soon so they never got to porting the engine over. And in their down time after the release of Call of Duty 4, Infinity Ward finally got the chance to finish their already work-in-progress engine port, and then later gave it to Treyarch for World at War. And since the engine is now finished and is ready to be optimized even farther by Infinity Ward, there is no excuse of why Modern Warfare 2 shouldn't release on the Wii.


Infinity Ward were not the ones that ported the Call of Duty 4 engine over to the Wii, it was done in-house by Treyarch.

Legend, it was both studios. It wasn't all Treyarch. I don't have any links to give you stating such other than I know one of the guys at IW that did work on the Wii version of the MW game engine.

NO! Controls!!!!! FUN!!!!!! Thats only on the Wii.

Are you really saying that you can only have fun with a Wii version? That's pretty dumb.

I agree, i think using a normal game pad is better then flaring some remote around for some fps.

If you are flailing then you are doing it wrong.


sure you did. you had to flare the controler to reload and bash in COD3.  I haven;t played a shooter on wii since launch



@Viper1 and Legend

Hey, I'm a credible source too, ya know? LOLZ. I speak to the people in the game industry.



Currently enjoying: Monster Hunter Tri.

Rckrz6,

CoD 3 on Wii sucked. Wait, CoD 3 on anything sucked.

Try Metroid Prime 3 and CoD: WaW for a far better experience.



Don't play the worst there is to offer and attribute it across the board.

COD IV (360 7.3 PS3 4.2 DS .5) = ~12 million copies
COD WaW ( 5.5, 3.4, .3, and Wii 1.1) = ~10

OMG, the Wii version actually made COD sell less. Negative sales! People saw the low res waggle version and though it looked that bad on the other consoles...

/sarcasm

It is stupid for them not to make it for Wii and sell an easy million extra copies.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

^^ im pretty sure they could make any old turd for the wii with the CoD name, and it would make a million
