Damn. :lol
Look on the bright side, at least you got Wii Music to cheer you up.
and that perspective is exactly why i think you should loosen up a bit. i read no such implication, only a lighthearted joke upon a lighthearted joke upon an unfortunate reality. if i must explain it, then it really isn't worth understanding.donny2112 said:The question isn't what I think of Wii Music (haven't played it), but what he was implying by using Wii Music as a fallback from MW Wii. As I said, it seemed a little trollish, so I wanted to fix that up some.

Finally someone noticed it!
Treyarch reminds me of this picture where a iraqy commander said in front of the press that there is no problem.

What makes this statement so hilarious is that if they really did care about the quality, why did they release screens with "bugs" in them? The game's two months away, and they don't dare to show off what the beta version looks like?

My comment was simply sarcasm in good fun.

If you can't see the harsh reality about the "efforts" of third parties on Nintendo consoles being weak compared to Nintendo's first party efforts (oh, hey... like EVERY Nintendo console after the SNES) then enjoy the ignore list. At least it's safe to ignore your opinion on anything Nintendo.

I responded to "Fits right in with Wii's 3rd party support.
" with a 1st party game which proves my point. It was a joke. Good day.
Digital-Hero said:I responded to "Fits right in with Wii's 3rd party support.
An often derided first-party game which you said should "cheer" up Wii owners. As you chose Wii Music over any of the more generally praised first-party games, it seemed a little trollish.
Edit:
Digital-Hero said:
I'd be happy to be wrong about your point. I took your point to be a knock against Nintendo's first-party games in order to "fit right in" with the third-party support. If that wasn't your point, would you mind explaining what it was? <- Serious question.

It sincerely was just a joke.
Ignore lists are great aren't they? Put me on it, I'll put you on it. Problem solved. Thanks for your understanding.
i think it's really more the people who aren't Treyarch are the ones who couldn't give a hoot about the quality, as reflected by the likely budget and time stipulations likely placed on the team.Cow Mengde said:
donny, if it has to be explained, then it's not worth it. it was a JOKE, there is no point except to stretch reason and to defy logic. that's why you should just chill about it.donny2112 said:

Essentially, activision just wants to create a cheap quick port for sales. They're not interested in trying to create Call of Duty as a fully supported franchise on the Wii platform. Like it or not, Wii is playing second string in every aspect. They're not even interesting in trying to cultivate a userbase for this type of game on Wii.
I can't blame Donny, I thought it was trolling too. :/doomed1 said:
Re-reading it, it *still* sounds like it.
eh, you never really know who's running what. it could be the marketeers didn't really care much for having to push this game or it was IW kind of feeling slighted by the game being on Wii. in fact, i would put some more weight behind the latter, since these screens DO have to go through IW with the add on that Activision wants to capitalize the MOST on MW2. all things considered, they'll start focusing on expanding the user base on Wii once CoD7 and MW3 come into play. i wouldn't be surprised if they pay up for IW to take on a Wii team for optimal ports of their stuff.vanguardian1 said:

What are you trying to do, help the industry?
[/sacrasm]
Seriously though, that would be a complete 110% turnaround for the industry at this point. I can't see it. Hell, I'm more likely to get broadband before 2020 before this happens.
Satellite sucks, but better than 28.8 dial-up!
it's not that big of a deal, just some simple business sense. Treyarch couldn't make a port in concert with Infinity Ward because they're Infinity Ward and Treyarch has other CoD games to make. if Activision were to hire 30 odd engineers and programmers (plus a producer or two) who were savvy with GCN and Wii hardware, they could make Modern Warefare games alongside of IW and thus get Wii versions out with the rest of them. this would allow Activision to piggyback promotion, hype, and night vision goggles to the largest demographic possible without loosing mindshare in an efficient and communacative environment. i mean, Treyarch already does this sort of thing with their CoD games.vanguardian1 said:
overall, it would lower costs, maximize efficiency, serve the most consumers best, and most of all, BE PROFITABLE. if Activision could do this, they could leverage the brand to at least PS3 levels WITHOUT sacrificing significant quality or sales on other platforms. what sells on Wii is Wii's. multi console ownership is still under 10%, i'm certain.
There's nothing really stopping them now. If Guitar Hero and Rock Band can manage online music stores and (kinda) loading DLC songs from the SD card, there's nothing really stopping others from offering similar kinds of DLC. Now that the Wii suppports microSDHCs, users can even have up to anywhere 32GBs of extra storage in their Wiis for (relatively) cheap prices. Shit, you can get a decent 8GB Sandisk for like $10.
However, to my knowledge, SD support can't really be added to legacy games, and similarly, those games that do support SD cards can't have SDHC support patched in. But theoretically, from this point forward, yeah, I'd say that DLC is more than possible.

i would imagine mostly technical issues and time constraints. in addition to porting the game and its online infastructure, a significantly more troublesome job than Guitar Hero for example, they would have to build and test an in-game storefront for the map pack and other DLC. it doesn't help that they'd be constricted by the Wii's file size limits. honestly, it would take an additional couple of people and TIME. WaW didn't have all of the levels, let alone all the multiplayer options. what makes you think they'll be able to set all that up too? MWii is pretty much a sprint job as well. maybe the next CoD will have it though.xbhaskarx said:

sorry to bump the thread with a double post, but i was following the thread on the WaW community and noticed it was deleted. it was put up soon after in the off topic part. i may as well post the details amassed by this stuff...

Pretty crazy really. I remember the original CoD had that feature.doomed1 said:
eh, i don't mind. it's a matter of optimization really (Wii Speak still isn't in), and it's a feature that i was never so hot about. sometimes it's a bit comforting to see how you died during run-and-gun maneuvers, but in cases where i'm sniping or something, i hate to give someone a perfect look from where i am. the camera already moves to the direction you get shot from anyway, so more often than not, you'll see something from that direction, if only where the shooter likely is. i hated MoHH2 when it floated around the sniper that killed you during the game. you would have to relocate constantly since every time you sniped someone, they knew exactly where you were. the best you could get was 1 or 2 or sometimes 3 depending on how many enemies were around and how good of a shot you were.Jaded Alyx said:
For all the praise that IW gets Kill cam is one of the stupidest features I've ever seen in a game of this type.
"Hey we're going to have realistic Sniper class with full stealth and silencers, but don't kill anyone cause they'll know exactly where you are!"
I'm glad MWii doesn't have it.
Anyway, it's sad the MWii discussion got shut down, and I hope the devs who actually gave a damn and told us something about the game didn't get in trouble. Of course they never should have been put in that position, but we can only thank Activision for all the secrecy over a port of a 2 year old game.

i would post there, and even have an account, but kind of didn't even bother when i learned that there was no connecting the Wii accounts to their tracking system. i'd love to see it, but i guess since they weren't willing to adapt a system for the Wii. considering the effort put into the rest of the game, it doesn't surprise me. hopefully for next time...J-Rock said:
also, i hope they release the game with the GOTY edition so we can get the extra maps...

They are aware of this.
It's business. If they thought they would have made money from doing it, they would have. Instead, they found out that it isn't worth it or they found out they can make more money if their workers do something else instead.
They tested the waters with rock band/guitar hero and found them cold, too cold to dive back in any time soon.

This game was AWOL at E3, so given that much and how early these screenshots are, is it safe to assume this game is going at a development cycle of less than a year?
