First Footage Of Modern Warfare Wii

[Samen]

And there it is. After an entire development thats total press releases added up to 12 screenshots and a short video monologue, the first videos of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex have started to pop up on the internet.
So far, it seems, it's held up to the promises Teryarch made about it. It's definitely better looking the previous efforts, with significantly beefed up texture resolution, and the all the AI, maps, levels, and non-graphical goodness from the original are present, minus a slightly scaled back multiplayer. Only 10 players per game, meaning no more groundwar mode (but, honestly, did anyone play that?), but the rest is there.
The models look decent, but they're still painfully boxy, and there's a few snafuus here and there (check Gaz's gun in the first video, and relatively crappy lighting), but otherwise I'd call this a successful effort.

HA! I doubt it.

Developers, take note. This is Wii FPS gaming at it's finest. Nice work with all the gameplay options, most notable the camera and dead zone adjustments.

The Conduit had very similar controls, and I liked how it was so adjustable.

It is very sad that the Wii has crap graphics and devs keep making crappy games. If the Wii really does get Blu-Ray and 1080p, it will be awesome.

who the f*** came up with professional league eating?

Looks better than I first imagined.

I'm buying this. Cod waw was sooooo much more fun on the Wii, the only thing that let it down was a lack of maps and game mode. BUT, since the Wii version of MW will have the exact same online (except for ground war, maybe) it will be much better.

Yea, they are removing ground war (due to the 10 player cap). But other than that and that graphics, it will be identical to its Xbox 360, PS3, and PC counterparts.

That's what I heard, but then I heard that ground war will be in it, except it will be a mode where only large maps are chosen (and still have only 10 players).

We've been told so little about this game that there's room to speculate.

[xscoot]

It has leaning.

The PS3 and 360 versions didn't have lean. But the wii does. Wow.

Treyarch may even expand on the perks system, adding some new ones. Possible, but unlikely.

Well, the PC versions of CoD games always had leaning...

Up until Modern Warfare 2. Seriously, without mouse control and better graphics it's the same exact thing as the 360 version.

Personally, this whole 10 person cap makes little sense to me. Wii game have the potential to have large, 32 player online games as shown by that Medal of Honor game that came out a while back (I think it was the sequel to Heroes). Maybe they just don't think the game will grow a large enough community to warrant the expanded server capacity, maybe they just don't care enough to spend money on decent servers (although, that's unlikely considering the effort they've put in to the rest of the game).
Oh well, the world may never know.

Well, th Wii's hardcore fanbase is a bit small, shown in the sales of Madworld and W@W. Treyarch just didn't want to put in so much money into an idea that may flop. I personally think that there should be a 12 player cap, because the Conduit (a wii fps that got mostly 8/10's) had the same amount, and was funded by Sega (who haven't sold a lot lately), versus Treyarch who has W@W which sold well.

Woah, there's loads of footage on gamespot's forums. Including a video that confirms that you can hold the mini-Uzi at any angle you want. Now I can shoot people up gangsta style!

So, far all the maps look brilliant but overgrown has lost most of it's grass. Still looks great though.

So, yeah, I highly recommend anyone interested in this game look at the MW: R forum on gamespot.

Thanks, that's some good info about an obscure forum on a separate website!
I'M SO GLAD YOU HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO SHARE A LINK TO IT WITH US.
OH WAIT.
NEVERMIND.

DON'T SHOUT. IT MAKES ME FEEL BAD.

Just click some of the links here. There's upwards of ten videos spread out.

Yeah, that's a confirmed no. After watching videos from the Bog level, the player didn't an achievement for saving the marine on the staircase like you do in the XBox and PS3 games.

Well, there are also no Steam achievements (which is expected, considering it is mostly Valve games to get it), and the PC has its system, but it is seen that many games that are cross-platofrm have achievements, and no trophies. My guess is that trophies are more complicated than achievements, (due to the whole 8 cell thing). There are some (I think UT3 has them), but it seems like devs prefer the 360's Live over PSN, when it comes to game-firmware integration.

Does anyone have any high res screenshots, other than the ones the devs released during development? I'm curious to see how good this game actually looked when it shipped, and crappy YouTube videos can hide bad graphics very well.

It will probably look like CoD 4 on lowest quality (with a smaller poly count).

Less civilians to shoot means it's less offensive.

Also, it bridges the gap in chronology between 3 and World at War.

That way the Wii is only missing 2 and MW 2.

[SeaBoundRhino]

Here's footage of all the maps online, all 16 of them. Some are high quality, some are low quality, but they all look like they do the original justice.

Activision is removing all the original 'leaked' videos, but all of these work.

Looks very good for a Wii port. Of course there are no bump maps on the guns, but it still looks amazing.

Before I didn't really give a shit.

Now I need this game, if only for that.

[Dingbat2212]

The reason why i'm getting it is because well i like that the fact that you can cock your weapon and that you can move the gun faster then a controller (ex if someone's behind you, you can easily turn around faster then the ps3 or xbox. also the graphic's are somewhat better than before.
