Looks like Wii is getting a version of the new CoD game, Black Ops. It was confirmed to be launching on the same day as the other versions as well. Pretty sweet deal.

But speaking to Eurogamer, Activision made it official: "Black Ops will be available on all four platforms, PS3, X360, PC and Wii, on 9th November."

Confirm WiiSeak support and local multi and I will be sold.

10-12 UPDATE

WiiSpeak/Headbanger support confirmed!

http://wii.ign.com/articles/112/1127089p1.html

They announced a special edition Headbanger Wii headset for CoD Black Ops and this pretty much guarantees voice chat support in-game. I'm going to assume that WiiSpeak will also be functional.

I'm not really surprised. World at War was released at the same time as on other systems, and Call of Duty 3 was only a few weeks behind. The Modern Warfare games were an exception because it was a different developer.

Considering this is a port with seemingly no extra development time, I highly doubt it will have any Wii-tailored features such as Wii Speak. Local mulitiplayer might be a possibility, but I wouldn't count on it.

Considering the epiphany that the Wii can use USB headsets I don't see anything stopping a dev from making a game that uses Wii Speak.

Who confirmed that? Sundoulos said the USB headset he purchased didn't work.

If any do work, the Wii still recognizes them as Wii Speak. So support for Wii Speak would still need to be programmed into the game itself, which very likely isn't going to happen.

It's Treyarch, they care about the Wii.

I'm not going to get excited (or congratulate them) over something Wii should be receiving as standard.

PS3, X360 & PC version Nov. 9th 2010. Wii version Nov. 9th 2011

You forgot to read the fine print.

I don't think it's far to say Wii COD3 was a few weeks behind the others...since it was a Launch game, and it wouldn't make sense to have the game out before the console.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #8 on:** May 13, 2010, 12:12:50 PM »

Well I'm interested. COD has been a successful franchise on the Wii.

If the aiming system pulls the same crap that Reflex did, I'm not interested.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #10 on:** May 13, 2010, 01:45:07 PM »

I haven't played Reflex, what crap does it pull?

Peachylala · « **Reply #11 on:** May 13, 2010, 01:57:02 PM »

Aiming basically uses the scope on the weapon itself, and covers the screen at the same time. The Conduit aiming system (which was great) it was not.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #12 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:34:53 PM »

I didn't have a problem with COD:World at War's aiming, is it similar?

Stratos · « **Reply #13 on:** May 13, 2010, 02:37:58 PM »

I tweaked Modern Warfares controls to be mouse-look and enjoy the game very much.

Sensitivity controls are better, functionality of the scoped view is just as bad. Rubberband effect is default, gotta hold a button down to enable camera-locked "Goldeneye" aiming. You apparently can't walk around in all directions "scoped" all the time, cuz you're limited by the rubberband. Plus, despite the fact that "scoped view" should imply your eyes would be relatively close to the eyepiece, the wacky scoped view shows you almost the entire gun, scope and stock, like you were aiming from the stock and not the scope.

that makes no sense!

I haven't played any other Call of Duty games besides Modern Warfare. Do the others have the "aim down sight" nonsense? It's a clunky feature that is interesting in theory but poor in execution.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #17 on:** May 14, 2010, 09:09:38 PM »

I don't think I have played a Call of Duty game before.

Anyway on May 18th during the NBA Eastern Conference Finals on ESPN there will be a trailer shown then. So we have a few days to wait. I have no idea which version it is going to be but it will be something.

Don't most games have that now? Trade move speed for higher accuracy.

We're referring to CoD's (Wii) specific implementation and presentation of the function, not the age-old concept.

I don't know how many modern shooters have that mechanic since I haven't played any. Regardless, in Modern Warfare it doesn't work all that well, so I was wondering if the other Call of Duty games also use it.

Stratos · « **Reply #21 on:** September 08, 2010, 06:36:09 AM »

So, with the news of Conduit 2 being pushed back to next year. What FPS are you planing on picking up this Fall? Black Ops, Goldeneye, stay with Conduit 1 and Modern Warfare?

I just got back into Modern Warfare and I had a blast with Mop it up. I still feel that the only thing missing from MW is local multi and WiiSpeak support. Really the one that has both of those or even one of them versus the other is most likely going to get my support.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #22 on:** September 08, 2010, 02:00:22 PM »

Maybe Goldeneye. I haven't really played it that much. Enjoyed it at a friends house about a year ago. Played multiplayer and it was enjoyable. I still have a few FPS in my backlog such as Red Steel 2 and MPT so who knows if I will get Goldeneye.

Mop it up · « **Reply #23 on:** September 08, 2010, 07:17:49 PM »

I don't think I'll be getting either, at least, not at full price. I'm not all that into shooters so I don't really need to own all of the ones that are released. If I do get one of these two, it'd probably just be to play them with people here. And in that case, I hope it's Goldeneye, because Call of Duty is a bit plain.

I wouldn't expect Call of Duty Black Ops to have WiiSpeak support, and probably not local multiplayer. None of the other Wii versions of Call of Duty have these features, not even Modern Warfare, a port they spent ten months on. They're certainly not going to appear in a game that's releasing simultaneously on all major platforms.

Local multiplayer has already been confirmed for Goldeneye. I don't think anything has yet been mentioned about WiiSpeak, but I wouldn't count on it. Especially with The Conduit 2 being delayed, they won't care to match its feature set.

I'd hope for USB keyboard support, but I know it'll never happen.

I don't get how WiiSpeak support is such a hard thing for developers to include in their games. All it is is just a microphone for all intents and purposes. Why is it so hard for their games to support it? It just doesn't make any sense to me. The only thing I can think of is they are concerned about the foul language and stuff that goes on during online play, which is equally true with all consoles... but maybe with the Wii and its "family friendly" image its something they would rather not deal with so they leave it out entirely. That may or may not be the reason, but it sorta makes sense... of course I don't agree with it.
