Call of duty, help please! wii
 

In my school, there has been a lot of talk about Modern Warfare 3, although it came out early this morning. From the ads and trailers, I think it will be a pretty decent game, but it won't have much on Black Ops and the previous Modern Warfare 2. It is pretty much an extended story line from Modern Warfare 2 and has new maps and new weapons. Also, from my experience with 1st person shooters on the Wii, I am not a fan of them and World at War on my Wii was a complete disaster. I would say try it at a friends house or try it at a game store like GameStop, and see if you personally like it. Hope this helps.

I would definitely get the third Modern Warfare because a lot more people will play that online and it is probably going to be better than it's predecessors.

I'm getting MW3 and I've not played any of the first 2. I'm getting it for the online playing. Which is going to be waaayyyyy better than any other of the franchise.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is only good on the 2 major entertainment game consoles out there:

Sony Playstation 3
Microsoft Xbox 360

PC is excluded because of hackers ruining the Multi-player function of the game.

Wii has beaten both of those consoles in sales. They are just different. PS3 has the better graphics, 360 has the better online gaming, while Wii is for those of more refined gaming tastes.

Back to topic, I am extremely disappointed in the CoD games. I would recommend rent the game and then decide if it's worth buying or not.

It's available at Red Box.

The Wii has actually sold more consoles that both of those.

But it isn't recommended for hardcore games like COD series or BF series.

Just play the first Spec Ops mission in Modern Warfare 3 and try to get the triple-star rating to see just how hardcore it is. 28-total seconds on that course. You MUST be PERFECT to get it. You need to aim fast and accurate. The motion controller = Big time fail.

PC, PS3, Xbox 360 are the way to go for those games.

Hands down.

It is a matter of taste and opinions. I am just as good in a FPS game in both Wii and 360. Again it's just a matter of what kind of game play you are into. If anything they are harder to play on Wii and making them a bit more hardcore. It's just a way to see it.

I am a hardcore video game player. I have played video games since Atari and NES. Besides this is a bit of topic.

My suggestion stays the same, give the game a test drive then decide if it's worth your cash and time.

From what I have seen and heard, CoD MW3 is a good game. I plan to get it for my Wii.

As others have said (Skirata), it's just up to your tastes and opinions. I myself have an excellent aim with Wii Motion Controller. I've had plenty of practice between CoD MW1 (reflex edition, the one that is exactly the same as the 360s and PS3s), Black Ops, and even my friends World at War game (though it was the worst of the 3). I personally liked all of those games, especially the online, and that is a big reason I'm getting MW3.

The Wii was developed mainly for family gaming. The PS3 and Xbox 360 were developed for REAL gaming. There are more families out there than gamers. I say REAL gaming because games were originally intended to be played sitting down on a couch, chair, etc. while relaxing. Not hating on the Wii, but I'm just saying that the Wii is not a major gaming console.

You don't have to stand up and jump like the commercials. I hardly move while playing Wii. I only move my eyes and hands while playing, same as 360, except there I talk a lot more. Right?

To what Swash said...
As Skirata put, you can play the Wii with hardly any movement at all (and there IS the classic controller, same movement required with it as with regular PS3 and 360 controllers).

Also, remember, the PS3 and 360 has copied the Wii in its movement gaming. (PS3 has PS Move controllers, a lot like the Wii to me, and the 360 has Kinect. Both, like the Wii, require more movement than regular controllers.)

Anyway, this seems to be getting a bit off topic... he just asked about the game.

The Kinect was an add-on to the 360 and required no controller so it did not rip off the Wii in any way. But I agree the Move did blatantly copy Wii.

Either way none compare to the ultimate gaming platform, PC. In terms of sales PC has sold a thousand times more than all gaming platforms combined.

Back on-topic MW3 is not good for the Wii unless you are good at aiming with the Wii mote. If you're not, then you might want to consider buying a 360/PS3 or a controller.

Love how this devolved into a discussion of best console.But like the others said,give it a test,see if you like gameplay etc.

On the Wii, there's less skilled people. Of course some people might want to go for it, then. Probably just to win all the time.

Then again... they just might be naturally good with the Wii control set and/or just don't have enough money for the other consoles, which is fine, nothing wrong with that.

I only have problems with the first sentence I typed, thinking people wouldn't play as "hard" as the console version, expecting an easy win "most" of the time.

To be honest, I'd be buying the new Legend of Zelda for the Wii. MW3 is okay... But I'm pretty sure you'll be a tad disappointed if you buy it for the Wii. I didn't even know they made MW3 for the Wii. (Now I ask, where is MW2 for the Wii?) But as TSC said, renting it and trying it out would be the best idea. We can't tell you what you'll like. :P

It's settled, well.... I'm getting MW3 for pc. I may also get Battlefield 3 for pc for Christmas.

I have a really nice PC.

Good choice.

FPS are always at their best on Windows/Mac machines.

The mouse is tons better than that broken thumb stick on game controllers (after wear).

Hope you enjoy those games.

Of course, because for Windows machines, there's always an opportunity of upgrading the hardware.

For consoles, NO. You are NOT given the right to change factory-selected components after the game console has been assembled.

Plus, they always get the other countries to put cheap products into it, so performance is almost always limited (with the exception of COD games always optimizing their games to run at a solid 50+ FPS regardless of what's rendering)


Hey, could you post a link of the PC you bought? I wanna see what the machine has.

I heard that MW2 was a hacker fest on PC which is why I didn't get it.I'm hesitant to get MW3 since it may be the same.Have you seen any indications of this?

Yes, it is the same thing.

Never doubt this fact.

Hackers gonna love ruining the game for legits.

The hacked lobbies are kinda fun, but I agree IW and Activision need to crack down on the Hackers.

Ok,thanks guys.Guess I'll skip MW3 for PC then.

MW2 wasn't that bad at 1st on PC, then a few months later the hacked lobby amount was pretty high but it has been declining. MW3 will probably be the same. I've only played played MW3 on my PS3 for a little bit and then gave it back to my friend. I play BF3 on my pc and love it. Graphics look great and game play is nice. I'll probably by MW3 whenever I get bored with BF3 and Red Orchestra 2.

Me, I don't believe in buying a FPS game for PC just for the multi-player.

Why pay for a product that you can try your best at and still always lose to many hackers on the game?

Consoles are better for FPS games that are played online because it's much harder to reverse engineer systems (Xbox 360 being somewhat easy, PS3 being plain annoying)
