Here's Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare! On The Wii!

It is all Modern Warfare all the time around here this week.

If for no other reason than to spray something Modern Warfare-related across every inch of our website here, I will now share with you the box art and screenshots from the Call of Duty 4 port to the Wii, Reflex Edition.

Better late than never, no? Any interest in trying this thing out? The shots don't look half bad, honestly.

Whatever they do, they MUST (and this is absolute MUST) PUSH THE WII POTENTIAL TO ITS LIMITS AND PUT MOTION PLUS and perhaps Optional (i'm more of a wimote guy) classic/pro Controller into Black ops to stop the lazies whining like 5 year olds. Either way i might go and snag myself a copy of this for practice till the new black ops ships in europe

Kinda brownish-grey, but that's because of the Wii's limitations I guess.

I call them like I see them. Didn't IW make a statement disavowing any hand in this? Seems like they may know it too.

I don't remember asking for that. Of course it has single player,  from the screenshot it showed multiplayer so I was wondering if this version had online multiplayer thank you.

looks pretty good. I guess it's like running it on PC with low settings, which I can totally relate to.

This game will sell primarily to Wii owners who don't own any of the other console, and also don't have a respectable gaming PC. It may appeal to some ardent MW fans keen to try out the game with Wii controls - ultimately, not a lot.

This game sums up Treyarch's relationship with Infinity Ward rather nicely, if I say so myself.

Sure. If you somehow found it impossible to save enough money for a 360 or PS3 in the last TWO YEARS, then I guess you should pick this up?
 
I think it's pretty telling of the huge disparity between the Wii and PS3/360 when you think about how this release was pretty much totally glossed over in the press, yet this is probably one of the best releases for the Wii yet.

I think it's a little dumb to put it out on the Wii on the same day as MW2, but at the same time, if I only had a Wii then I'd definitely pick this up.  From what I have seen of it, it's pretty faithful to the original.  The online looked decent as well.

Better looks than expected but I hear rumours that Modern Warfare 2 just came out elsewhere.

Doesn't look awful the way I expected. Looks like a solid enough port, considering.

Treyarch ported it to Wii. Dur. That said I disagree with him and think the port came better than could be expected. No, it doesn't look as good as other Wii games, but those other games are Wii exclusive, they aren't games made for vastly different and superior hardware shoehorned on Wii. If they were given resources and time to re-create the whole experience without having to use downgraded versions of the high res content, but rather have artists capable of making nice looking versions low-res by default, then they could squeeze more out of it. Alas, that wasn't the case.

" OMG COD4 ORIGINAL XBOX ALPHA FOUND!!!!!  Wii has nothing for me to play.... I could borrow one and play it any time i wanted to, but i haven't found a reason yet.   Kids shouldn't have to settle for sub par games. like common? a parent who buys their child a wii is a terrible person. Kids should have enjoyed playing this 2 years ago, on a proper gaming platform ( ps3, 360, pc )  just makes me sad to know that little kids who only have the wii can barely play any games. There are not enough wii games that are actually worth playing IMO.   Some poor kid is probably excited about Modern Warfare coming to the wii......and that is just fucking sad "
Kids don't really pay much attention to the Wii, they like to play the "big boy" consoles like the 360 and PS3, which is why the Gamecube got so little sales, they marketed it straight to kids and failed to get them because they thought it was for kids. 
 
Anyway, I thought you should know before somebody tells you to grow up.

Do you think or just post? Seriously, the fact that they could port COD4 onto a console with xbox era technology is very impressive. This is not for those of us who have experienced cod4 or mw2 but for those wii owners who haven't. 
 
With that said only time will tell if this is any good for wii owners.
