http://callofduty.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=199266 - it's a summary from a member of the callofduty.com forums, but sadly, it's true. The new sniping controls sound pretty awesome though.

Quote

5 vs 5 online

Every single map and mode (NO LIE!)

No Wii Speak or Motion Plus

Host migration (Match will end of connection is bad or if host leaves, but then all players will be brought back to the lobby and the person with the best connection will be chosen as host.)

Fully customizable controls (Conduit style)

squad mate mode is back

Every campaign mission

55 Online Ranks (Not 65 like World at War, but requires slightly more to rank up so it balances out)

Golden Guns

Camo Guns

All challenges

Anti-Glitching system (Shonuff of Treyarch says they will "be able to "deal with" glitching.")

No Ground War (Kind of Obvious as the player limit is 5 vs 5)

Shonuff of Treyarch expects that we will get a gameplay video within the next 2 weeks, but not positive on that.

Screenshots that were released are not the final graphics. Those are from a pre-BETA stage of the game, they will be much better when the game is released.

Better friend system

Wii Zapper is supported

Cover Art is the same but just without the "4" in the title

No Kill Cam (+1) (Kill Cam would be so glitched and messed up in the Wii version it would be ridiculous)

Improved graphics focusing on explosions and lighting

Game was compared side by side with the 360 version in real time in real conditions and the results were that the connections were THE SAME for each one.

Night Vision Goggles are confirmed to be in the game.

No offline multiplayer

You can tilt nunchuck while sniping to lean back and forth if you turn on this option.

Flashbangs

Better knifing hit detection (YEAH!)

Quote

- - gamescom version is "almost beta"

- nothing taken down from the original version, everything included: every multiplayer map, every multi mode, all the original IA in single mode, all campaign mode from PS360

- DLC not included. Neither Wii Speak/Motionplus.

- Keep evolving Treyarchs engine is one of the ports reasons. Graphic improvements in some textures resolution, general performance, new particle effects. (It looks pretty similar to WaW to me ATM). 30 fps.

- WaW connections numbers on Wii over any expectation, complete surprise and one of the reasons for this game/multi

- online improvements: now up to 10 players, host migration and possibility to invite connected friends

- team is similar to WaWs: from 25 to 30 people

- IWs role: giving engine code last year, MW code now and some supervision

- control: everything is configurable, ala Conduit. Smoother and better. All parameters, new scope setting. Up to 6 presets: from greenhorn to insane;

- squad mate mode is back. Zapper also compatible with single player

- CG/VA/sound effects/ OST from PS360.

- no camera allowed, more stuff soon.

Those are the two summarizing post.

I could care less about local multiplayer. I wish it was 60 FPS (makes FPS smoother to play), however. I also don't understand why people always think it's necessary to include "Wii Zapper support". You can use the Wii Zapper in Super Mario Galaxy if you see fit. Any game with customizable controls essentially supports the Wii Zapper (hopefully no one is still using this piece of crap anyway, if you want a gun, get the Nyko Perfect Shot).

Zapper support is limited when games demand frequent presses of the A button. I wouldn't be able to play The Conduit with a gun shell because it needs so many buttons but Water Warfare is fine (and even has the option to make the B button confirm in menus).

A casual co-op "light gun" mode that lets a 2nd player jump in as an artificial character/extra gun to support the 1st player's regular FPS play should be a staple option in Wii FPS games. Developing/implementing it seems too easy to not include, and would show how big a mistake DSE is.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #80 on:** September 25, 2009, 06:55:49 PM »

Why does it seem like it takes Activision 3-5 tries to get anything done right on Wii? It's been on the market for 3 friggin' years.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #81 on:** September 26, 2009, 02:01:41 AM »

[Official? Rumor? Photoshop?]Wii Speak Support is in?

And Box Art w/ new subtitled subtitle

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #82 on:** September 26, 2009, 03:40:25 PM »

Exactly what I was referring to.

GearBoxClock · « **Reply #83 on:** October 02, 2009, 07:31:48 PM »

Wii Speak compatible? Surely they jest.

Not the first time a 3rd party made promises.

Peachylala · « **Reply #85 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:11:51 PM »

3rd party promises are more or less failed comedy routines. We fans just forgot to throw tomatoes at them.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #86 on:** October 05, 2009, 12:25:15 PM »

Can't waste tomatoes in this economy.

Throw bricks, they're reusable.

General dev comment on Modern Warfare franchise:

`` "Activision also did not want Modern Warfare. They thought working on a modern game was risky and [thought], 'oh my god you can't do that, it's crazy!' They were doing market research to show us we were wrong the whole time. We had to fight for everything. They wanted it to be World War II. Again." - Infinity Ward's Vince Zampella ``

I wonder what kept Activision from bringing it to Wii earlier on. MARKET RESURCH?

Comparisons. lulz. (too be fair, I think the first comparison pic is a bullshot)

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #90 on:** October 15, 2009, 12:10:26 PM »

Laffo.

Ignoring the types of games they are (which is acceptable by interweb standards), Ju-On looks noticeably better than this.

Stratos · « **Reply #91 on:** October 17, 2009, 06:06:12 AM »

No local multi really hurts my desire for the game. I do want a new single player FPS game and since both Grinder and Red Steel 2 aren't till next year, I may still get it. But no local multi really hurts my desire to get it. It went from being a top priority to a bargain bin buy.

GK · « **Reply #92 on:** October 17, 2009, 02:23:28 PM »

Oh no. I'm not falling for that one again. Think I'll just wait it out for Red Steel 2. Maybe Grinder as well.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #93 on:** October 17, 2009, 02:48:46 PM »

After looking at the side by side comparison of the original and the Wii version and having just seen the truck load of pics from FFCC, it's obvious to me that Activision could have made this game look alot better with some effort behind their texture work.

I didn't plan on buying it anyway, but looking at the lack of effort that went into the game visually isn't helping me change my mind. No local multi might have made me pick it up in the bargain bin, but RS2 & Grinder is for now.

*Continues waiting*

FYI, Red Steel 2 has no multiplayer whatsoever. Just sayin'.

Yeah, I was more thinking of Grinder than RS2, but both fill my FPS wants well enough so I guess the real question is do I need something more than Conduit to fill my FPS needs on Wii before either of them come out. Plus Metroid Trilogy has the local multiplayer as well, right?

I know that, but it not supposed to either.
It's a single player game.

CoD is multiplayer with online multi-player.
No reason it shouldn't have local too, didn't the PS360 versions have local multi?

Pretty sure it didn't.

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #98 on:** October 19, 2009, 05:24:16 PM »

Well, those are online focused systems. Wii is a local multiplay focused system, so if something is gonna be multi-player on Wii, is it wrong for us to expect local multi?

I'm sure thats part of the reason The Conduit didn't so as good as it could have.

How sure? I know that World at War on the 360 had local multiplayer, I've played it myself.

I'm still planning on buying this; the lack of local multiplayer is only an issue until Perfect Dark hits XBLA, at which point there's no reason to ever play another multiplayer FPS ever again.
