Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Comes To Wii This November

Wii owners will be getting their own Modern Warfare fix this fall, as Activision will be releasing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for Nintendo's best-selling platform in November alongside the release of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a port of Infinity Ward's blockbuster hit Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, originally released in 2007 on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. The Wii version of that game is planned to arrive on November 10 of this year, the same day that Modern Warfare 2 ships to retail.

[Chubear]

It'll be interesting to see what it looks like on the Wii

[bpac123456789]

That's going to be the worst ports of one of the best games of the year. Think of modern warfare 2 with bad graphics, motion control, and the worst online experience possible. I don't mean to hate on the wii but lets get real, the game is going to be ass next to the ps3,360, and pc version. They don't even have a decent online, how would it work? and isn't nitendo against most M games, especially shooters?

[adriano999]

it's a port of CoD4 not MW2

[sack_boi]

the game is 600p, the Wii can almost handle it, so it won' look THAT bad.

[leila01]

A port....of the first Modern Warfare.....on the Wii.....by Treyarch. Could it get any worse?

[IzKyD1331]

"A port....of the first Modern Warfare.....on the Wii.....by Treyarch. Could it get any worse?"

Yeah, they're gonna have to downgrade the game's character models to "Miis" :D

[Eamon]

If they try to use wii motionplus in this game, then maybe it won't be flop as much as everyone will think it will?

[Mozilla89]

Activision is a probably trying to cash in on the huge crowd the Wii has, but hey, if this turns out good, then the Wii owners can enjoy this great title the rest of us have been having fun with since 07.

Personally it feels like a slap in the face. I mean here everyone else gets a shiny new MW2, while the Wii owners get a remake of a 2 year old game.

[Mini Mario]

"1.6 - Imagine the controls for "sprinting" is by shaking the wii remote. That'd be hilarious!"

It will be really funny if it was used with natal, tho. Coz then you would literally have to sprint around your room!! That'd be hilarious!!

Using your hands as pretend guns!

[Mini Mario]

"Activision is a probably trying to cash in on the huge crowd the Wii has, but hey, if this turns out good, then the Wii owners can enjoy this great title the rest of us have been having fun with since 07."

What version have u been playing the dumbed down ps3/360 version? Coz i own a wii, 360 and ps3 and i still rather play a FPS on a PC. Online is better too because i dont have to pay additional "live" fee's on top of my internet connection.

@Bpac
"... the game is going to be ass next to the ps3,360, and pc version."

Well why even play it on the ps3/360?..or even make out that they are on the same level as a PC. I mean seriously if u want better graphics and better online why LIMIT yourself to the under powered ps3/360 consoles. Because it sounded like you were saying the 360/ps3/PC were all equals in the power department. Maybe they are "ass" compared to the latter.

Lucky i have all of the above so it doesnt matter which system has what.

[bpac123456789]

Oh my bad it does say that its going to be a port of cod4, that's what i get for not reading carefully lol. But either way my points remain the same. the graphics will be downgraded and the online is going to be terrible.

[kunit22c]

lol at the fanboy haters, why do you keep repeating yourselves? each fanboy says the same comment, dumbed down graphics and bad online. lol both world at war and the conduit have solid online on the Wii so how do you figure? and duh the graphics will be dumbed down, how many times do we have to hear that same story? Every time a new good Wii game comes along? It seems like you have been saying that alot lately :o but anyways im sure they'll do fine like they did with world at war, i just hope in this one they actually add capture the flag, and a few more stages would be nice even though world at war had plenty.

[qface64]

wait what?
where did this come from? am i the only one who thinks this is very random?

anyways i guess MW2 will come to the wii as well

but im still scratching my head here??

[Riddicrash]

I too find this to be qutie random, it almost seems unfair to the Wii owners, why cant they get a port of Modern Warfare 2, to me that makes more sense, but I suppose if it gives Wii owners a chance to experience the awesomeness that is Modern Warfare Im all for it!

[N4g_null]

These guys must believe they are better than HVS. Also the conduit looks to be way more fun than their first game simply because HVS let you set up your controls. Activision sees sales they may go beyond their frist game and seriously they have all of the art already and will do a low resolution port with some touch ups. This may not cost even a fraction of what it took to make the first game.

Will it look ugly only time will tell. I just know it better not look worst that the conduit effect wise or even art wise. We will see.... this will boost their sales and possibly do more for the franchise than MW2 since it is not going to cost $70 LOL. Hell it could even make the game fun !#GASP#!!

I'll still be look forward to the grinder more since I know their engine is a lot better from the get go.

If Treyarch does a good job then this could actually be good for thisd team because it seems infinty is more about high end graphics and Treyarch is still looking for their fame. The question is can Treyarch out do infinty ward on the wii!? If so that may be a very important start to some thing because if Treyarch finds more success on the wii just because the game cost less to make and makes more of a profit they may actually get to make some thing else other than a FPS!

[xztence]

err... wtf?

[zack61]

i LOL'D

[Ares84HU]

MW on Wii.....I suppose they need to change to guns to paintball guns or water guns so all those soccer moms, grannies and 10under kids can play it :)

[qface64]

haha haha what a new and original joke .........

[MerkinMax]

wow.........

[qface64]

eh? i don't remember saying i was offended by his joke

[N4g_null]

The joke was pretty lame to me. It was very tired and predictable like HD game console sales. I'm starting to wonder if HD owners even get laid any more, thats how lame things are getting.

Another thing is I would love to see some granny meleeing the hell out of you console jockeys LOL that would be hilarious! I bet this would happen a lot more than not too since most of you get beat in wii sports bowling by your mums.

I really think that is where the hate is coming from... I mean are you really going to call your mom gay after you lost LOL... I hope not that would suck and be very awkward.

Motion controls work so good it really does expose how good you are take certain things. If a kid shot you with a gun just by pointing it at you then you would died, if he had to use an analog stick he would most likely miss LOL. The point is the competition is going to be almost PC level... If these guys can do that along then count me in.

Another thing is let us run a lot faster... or at least select a run speed by vote.

[SinnedNogara]

@ Ares84HU

What a funny and original joke!

@ scissor-runner

Agreed.

[-Mezzo-]

Soon we will see Wii Fanboy's will troll in here just to claim that Wii version is better. LOL.

[zack61]

i would like to see them try and FAIL LMAO!!!!!

[MegaPowa]

Most of the time its the other way around I'll just play it because of the controls i know it wont be better but yea...get lives people..

[nikola987]

it is better! :D

[The_Beast]

Whatr they called ?

[MegaPowa]

They don't really exist cause well they don't care.

[cr33ping_death]

i wonder if the Mii's will be incorporated into the game lol.... should be fun shooting a friend in the head as his Mii falls dead :)

[SinnedNogara]

Hey, I would love to shoot Mii George W. Bush!

Anyway, I hope this works well. And we finally have a Wii game with VERY addictive multiplayer mode.

Though it feels like a slap in the face for Wii owners wanting a new experience.

[EvilTwin]

mrnintendo96 -- Odds are, if MW sells enough on Wii, they'll port over MW2 next year.

Probably isn't too expensive for Activision to even do it. They've already got a modified COD4 engine to play on Wii (with W@W). Hopefully the reason it has taken this long to do is that they've been trying to nail the controls and online.

[N4g_null]

Oh man that would actually be pretty fun because it would also be like using character mods. Man that would be so awesome! One of the funniest thing about PC gaming is the use of user created characters!

[-Mezzo-]

i knew this would happen as Activision has transformed into greedy suckers.

[qface64]

lol i found what you said funny considering activision has the publishing rights to transformers x]

[-Mezzo-]

Lol i wasn't expecting someone to catch-up that fast.

[snaredrums]

I am happy (^-^)

I just hope to god that they follow the conduits footsteps, and not add any lame ass waggle controls!

[zack61]

@mezzo
i have no idea

[-Mezzo-]

Me too i hope he can tell us,Hey (Chad Warden Returns) buddy enlighten us what is zealots.

[TruthbeTold]

split screen multiplayer, then they shouldn't even bother.

[Quadrix]

I was happy until I saw the name "Treyarch".

[N4g_null]

Me too but they have to find some way to get out of wards shadow. Give them a chances... I don't expect PC graphics but at least make sure the game is fun.... seriously I have a PC like others. We needs a reason to buy this again.

[DiffusionE]

The good news is - Wii users get to play COD4 and whatever add-ons are added to it.

The bad news is - MW2 comes out in the same month, so, by then MW would be yesterday stuff.

But look on the bright side, maybe MW2 will flop(although highly unlikely) and some people will stay true to MW, just like we still have hardcore CS 1.6 fans.

[Smacktard]

...WAT

This is a disaster. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Damn.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

activision.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

this will be interesting.......

Then again, it wont be interesting.

1.a port of a two year old game (seriously you port this game down to the wii, yet no rumble or trophies on the PS3 version, if IW wanted to, they could of given the PS3 code to Treyarch and patch the game with the Trophies and Rumble, But NOOOOOOOOOOO!!)

2.Downgraded graphics

3. online mode could fail miserably...

and

4. The game comes out on the same day MW2 arrives....LOL WUT???

WTF?????

[MegaPowa]

Is that so hard to understand? i mean c'mon arent you guys 'hardcore' gamers

[saint_john_paul_ii]

yes i know, i read the title before commenting. As for the Hardcore gamer comment, let me give u the heads up on this.... Wii and Hardcore games dont mix and match.

[MegaPowa]

your funny man xD but I didn't know shooters were the only type of hardcore games out there >_>

[saint_john_paul_ii]

of course shooters arent the only types of Hardcore games out there. but you must agree hardcore gaming isnt as popular as it once was on a ninty console.

[SinnedNogara]

Well, we need to see some gameplay, but it should be good. WaW on the Wii was decent, so we can hope they updated the graphics. I also hope they add some really cool stuff to the online mode. I am hoping it will be good. But it is way too late to announce it. Wii fans should be glad they are getting something.

Oh, and Treyarch is working on the game because no one else will.

[titomister10]

Well this was unexpected....

[Shnazzyone]

weird they would do this.... I see so many hd whiners are attacking. Hey if multiplayer is solid why not. I still think wii controls for fps games are superior to dual analog. WaW was pretty darn good. I'm not at all against it it just seems odd they wouldn't even announce this until 4 months before the release.... I wonder if it will have wiispeak support.

[Ninjamonkey]

sounds good to me.

Everyone here is whining about the graphics but its the control system Im interested in, the last COD game apparently played very well on the wii and so this game can only control better.

Ive been wanting thos on the wii for a long time since despite the worse graphics i think it will be more fun with that gun attatchment for the wiimote actually aiming for myself...

Also those saying that only mons and kids have a wii wrong. The people who bought one of these and sold thm out were people like me, core gamers whi thought the wii could bring a new experiecne that you couldent get on other consoles, then the shovelware came and so gamers dont like the wii anymore.

For those of us who's wiis are athering dust this is great.

=D

[Goomba12]

I just hope it is better than World at War for Wii. Remember though "port" is a bad word.

I'll be skeptical until release. Controls better be good.

[ozstar]

It starts with jokes, but the whole industry has typecast the Wii and gamers are sheep who are incapable of thinking for themselves in most cases, so you are simply not appreciating what value there is on Wii bcoz of propaganda. baaaa

[kesvalk]

man, this is totally random...

like, they need 2 years to PORT a game?

c'mon!

[EvilTwin]

I understand the ragging on downgraded visuals, but have some people here never played good FPS controls on the Wii? Go pick up Prime 3 or Conduit and then say dual analog is still better. When done RIGHT, IR/pointer controls are faster and more precise (and more customizable now, too). In short, better.

HVS did just fine with the online in Conduit. That's the new standard for Wii games (done by a small dev team to boot), and Activision can build on it.

kesvalk -- If the port is done well, the only thing that will take a hit are the graphics. I'd rather they take two years to do a good job than to rush the project.

[BackSlashAttk]

thats like a big slap in the face to wii owners, why not modernwarfare 1.5 or something.

if this game doesnt look like monster hunter 3, something from hvs, or nintendo its gonna be a bs cash in. it better look dam good.

its like a big step back. unless they are not telling us something. but imo this is bs. the ds get mwf2ds why cant the wii?

the first e10 rated cod ever. with big block head ppl i can just see it now. they are goin madden 10 with this1

[MegaPowa]

putting out the second game out first when those wii only haven't played the first is a slap to the face oh and by the way the first modern warfare was on the ds to so that's why the second is on the ds to..so speak for your self

[BackSlashAttk]

lmfao wtf is this money making bs

[EvilTwin]

World at War used a modified COD4 engine on Wii, and it didn't look bad at all:

http://wii.ign.com/articles...

Now I'll completely agree with you if they totally screw up the multiplayer or controls. HVS set the standard there, and Treyarch has had 2 years to get it right.

This is most likely a test just to see if Modern Warfare can be done justice on Wii. If it can, we'll most likely see MW2 ported next year.

[MegaPowa]

Well at least you have a brain

[Roddur]

"thats like a big slap in the face to wii owners"

tell me about that, what company is not slapping the face of wii owners lately. ea did with DS:E, a rail shooter, capcom RE:DC, a rail shooter, 2K complained about no. of minigames on wii, yet they r publishing mini games for it.

funny thing is companys that r trying something on wii, is not getting a encouraging sales to continue encouraged stuff. *sigh*

[BackSlashAttk]

they know the wii can handle a cod title. this is just a cash in. most ppl that i know have cod4 for ps3/360 and sometimes pc the only point i could see to getting the game again is to play the multiplayer which i have a feeling will sux. you can only play the same game so many times. i rly hope nintendos next console dishes out the juice. but then next gen ur gonna hear. omg ps3 graphcis thats so 2008 because thats the way the world is. and the wii is very powerful for its hardware.

[BackSlashAttk]

and then devs complain why ppl pirate. its because u made a crapy game thathad nothing new to offer so why not get it for free and spend ur hard earned money on a game thats good.

[Casanova1974]

Obviously most of the people in here who are dissing the wii for getting this game havn't played COD WAW for the Wii. The game rocked imo. and still play it now even over The Conduit. Oh and by the way Motion Controls are better for Shooters than Dual Analog. Don't Believe me? Thats ok cause in a couple of years youll be playing with Motion Controls on your PS3 and 360. Microsoft and Sony have both realized the potential of Motion Controls and The Success The Wii is having. See the Pattern yet? The Wii is ahead of its Time in the Field of Play Control. (Not Graphics). But in the end Controls of a Game Rule over Graphics Any Day. Games are Interactive not just a peice of Art to look at.

[EvilTwin]

Shhh...no talking sense allowed, man. ; )

I've been saying the same thing as you have, and for some reason, some people think it's a controversial thing. It's not. IR/pointer controls are faster, more precise, and now more customizable than dual analog.

To put it simply, the controls are BETTER, just like PS3/360 graphics are better than what you see on Wii. Once I played Prime 3, dual analog seemed clunky to me.

There's a reason the best version of RE4 is on the Wii -- the controls.

If Treyarch manages to keep COD4 intact, but with lower res visuals, and put HVS/Retro-esque controls on top, they'll have done the same thing Capcom did with RE4 Wii -- made the definitive version of the game.

[Casanova1974]

I agree completely!

[matey]

nintendo offer a HCSD 32GIG dlc option for devs so if they did this with MW wii it would be able to handle maps ect its being done on ACTIVISIONS guitar hero 5 thats as much space as u need fot dlc there doing it with GH5 maybe MW wii =32 gig hcsd dlc wow that would spice things up no one here thought of that its us that can make it happen so lets get demanding like 360/ps3 owners get
