Apparently we're not getting MW2, but we are getting Modern Warfare (unless we're getting both?) the day that MW2 launches for PS3 and 360. If they make the controls right, then you can throw the Conduit away and get ready to play (arguably) the best FPS on any console. Here's a link.

I'm glad you decided to make a tread on it, but it has been being discussed.

maybe everyone moves the discussion here though & the rumor thread can get back to discussions on rumors..

Yippe, a port of a year old game with watered down graphics.

Does Activision expect this to actually sell well? It's an attempt to make money from Wii-only owners. Anybody who also owns a Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 have probably already gotten it.

One year? How long until third excuse makers begin preemptively porting games?

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #4 on:** August 07, 2009, 02:31:59 AM »

Enclave, the Xbox game from 2002 is getting a wiimake.

Does that count?

Are we really going to have a repeat of the talkback thread. Its bad enough reading through this stuff once.

King of Twitch · « **Reply #6 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:27:59 AM »

So you don't like seeing the same stuff over and over again?

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #7 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:29:50 AM »

This is a megaton!

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #8 on:** August 07, 2009, 08:23:21 AM »

My bad, I didn't see they changed the post on the website, I only saw it when they were quoting Kotaku.

Was it CoD4 were they added zombie missions or the like?

ShyGuy · « **Reply #10 on:** August 07, 2009, 12:53:13 PM »

That was CoD:WaW every version except the Wii one.

I hope they do add it in though, it sounds fun. If they can add every single online feature (including voice chat) and the DLC that COD4 got in other versions PLUS a zombie mode then this will be a must buy for Wii FPS fans who don't already own the game.

BranDonk Kong · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2009, 03:57:31 PM »

Even if they made this a classic-controller-only game, and added nothing new, or any of the DLC, then it's still a must-buy for everyone who doesn't have it for another system.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2009, 04:58:28 PM »

Fantastic. Making it cc-only defeats the purpose of why I'd personally even try it on Wii.

Not if they break the AI and turn it into a glorified shooting gallery.

The PS360 versions of MW2 will cost £54.99 (a £15 increase over normal!). And now Activision want to increase prices EVEN MORE?

That's about 5 GBP less than a regular HD game on mainland Europe.

scrawnton · « **Reply #16 on:** August 08, 2009, 01:21:53 PM »

as much as i would like to enjoy this game on the wii, I am going to pass because I am not payin the developers of this game for them deciding to port a game that will be two years old. LAZY

The retail store price or online? Online that's still £25 more than normal.

To be fair the PR from Activision didn't spill out anything new.

They're identical unless you search hard.

Online HD games can be had for £35-40 here and i tend to wait until the prices go down. 5 PS3 games, no PS3.

Yeah, I imported Prototype from the UK because it was just WAAAAAAAAAY cheaper than buying locally.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #22 on:** August 17, 2009, 01:09:24 PM »

This whole product announcement makes me gag.

The game is expected out less than 6 months after this announcement, this calendar year. Aside from being a Wii port destined for disappointment, why the hell wasn't this announced at E3?

Does it really have just a 6 month dev cycle? Was it really in development since WaW was finished, but Activision didn't have any E3 plans for it because they were about to scrap it?

Any way you look at it, Activision doesn't care that this product is coming thru (probably cuz it can't be milked every year since Wii has no mature audience). It's either late to begin or they didn't really want anyone to know about it. Despite releasing in a few months, there's no media of it to share. It's just inexpensive bait to throw at a few fish.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #23 on:** August 17, 2009, 01:59:21 PM »

Perhaps it's not presentable yet?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #24 on:** August 17, 2009, 02:12:45 PM »

Think they can present something after starting the project a week ago?

Or maybe it'll only be presentable a week before production like the previous [PORT]?
