No, he didn't use WiiSpeak. I think he had connection issues because I dropped out and rejoined then jropped out again while we were waiting for someone else.

I have a wii speak and actually heard some of you speaking, but the connection kept being interrupted. I tried to speak to all of you, but nothing happened.

I didn't see the Wii Speak bubble when you joined Kytim.

[Kytim89]

I believe it was not plugged in, but I plugged it in and actually some one's voice.

[Mop it up]

You have to plug the Wii Speak into the system before you power it on in order for it to work.
You can still hear others even if you don't have one.

[Kytim89]

When is the next match?

[Mop it up]

Whenever we're all free. We don't usually plan these things, they usually just happen.

[kraken613]

I maybe would play some later, just post something and if I see it I will.

[EasyCure]

Oh i see, when i ask if anyone wants to play i get ignored but when Stratos does everyones all "oooh lets have fun without easycure!"

Thanks.

[kraken613]

Stratos is cooler.....

[EasyCure]

Your opinion doesnt count cuz i havent seen you around the boards in forever...

[kraken613]

I've been here watching you. Actually posted quite a bit in the general gaming section, I didn't realize everyone though I had disappeared.

[EasyCure]

i've barely made it out of the funhouse until today (and i was barely visiting as is) but the last time i remember reading a post of yours was.. well in this thread when the conduit came out. I think we even played a few matches together.

[kraken613]

Well, I've been around and posting more since then. But since this year started I haven't had much time.

When was this? Perhaps we were all busy?

Them's the breaks when you aren't as popular as I am

Though remember I've badgered you to play a number of times and your stupid internet wouldn't let us.

That's different I was at least willing to play and had the decency to not ignore your request

Actually I recall posting from my phone, and sometimes my posts don't go through in their entirety so perhaps no one saw it because it didn't show?

Besides, that was a fake tantrum. Just cuz its not in my sig anymore, doesn't mean you shouldn't all stop putting and in each one of my post.

I just reviewed Pro's control setup (at the repeated suggestion from EC ) and I noticed that the main issue is the turning speeds and having a bounding box at all.

I thought of a way to solve that, but first I have 2 questions.
1.) What is the button set-up for most FPS on Wii?

2.) Is there a camera lock option?

1. Theres other FPS's on wii?

2. You can use the lock-on button (default to C i believe) as a sort of camera lock.

[BlackNMild2k1]

so you can use the camera in the bounding box and then hold C to lock your cursor and move the screen?

Sorry for my ignorance on this, but I have not popped The Conduit back in since the last multi-player match and haven't found the motivation to do so since.

[EasyCure]

nvm it works the other way around; use C to lock the camera in place and move your cursor anywhere outside the bounding box that would normally result in your character turning.

[gizmoo22]

That's good news! The wii really needs this to happen more often.

Modern Warfare Reflex is a superior FPS for me. The only thing Conduit has over it is WiiSpeak Support but the online trumps it 1000 fold. Lobbyies and the ability to invite friends to matches and lots more settings and the whole rankings/exp feature makes it much more engaging. Plus there aren't rampant hacking issues destroying the fun in games.

Plus the whole game looks nicer in both online and single player and the SP is much more engaging.

Adding WiiSpeak and local multi to Modern Warfare would be the only way I could see it improving.

What I think would work best (for me) is to use the bounding box, but be able to lock the cursor on the screen and move the whole camera with the cursor locked to wherever it was when I pushed the button. Then when I let go of camera lock, the screen will sit where I left it and go back to bounding box mode.

I've been meaning to address your question, but haven't had a chance to fire up the game.

So what you're describing, in a real-world situation, is aiming your gun and maintaining that position, while allowing your eyes/head to turn and look elsewhere?  Sounds like it creates an on-rails situation that disconnects footwork from the camera, where you can walk in a straight line (your aim locked) and look around without deviating from your line, rather than causing steering that's directly determined by your camera.  This isn't possible on my scheme becuz mine assumes your aim and your "eye sight" are always tied together, for gaming purposes (while the real-world allows you to have a relaxed stance and not be in 100% aiming mode the entire time you hold the weapon).

You might achieve something close to that in Conduit by locking your camera (freezes your "forward" walking direction) and using a high Horizontal/Vertical View value to allow the camera to turn before your cursor exits the Bounding Box.  Of course, there's still no way to lock your cursor's position.  And when you release your lock, the camera will re-center to the current cursor position.
