Considering that for the Wii/Wii U Call of Duty games the only media comes from the actual owners of the game; expect the first impressions, pictures and videos by November 5.

Awesome then!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Thread shitting is still thread shitting. I own a PS3 now as of last week. Do I now have the right to shit on Sony threads?
pretty done

That's not my responsibility man. I'm not going to buy it cuz I can't play any mp modes I enjoy even with offTV.
Then you have no real right to complain about the population if you are not contributing to it.
That vicious circle.

I'm really tempted to get a Wii U for Ghosts and the new Metroid that I think I saw a photo for somewhere here on this forum.

That's not true at all. I never have to wait for a game. There's also 12-30 games available.

On the WiiU Ghosts Facebook page all the screens are 1080p, are they stretched? graphics look ok typical MW game.
I'm happy to buy the WiiU version at 720p really due to game pad.

New Metroid?!?!?! Where???
No Metroid game has been announced, unless is Super Metroid on the Virtual Console; in that case..yep, it's out!!!

12-30? No. Unless you mean only for one (non TDM) mode. There are hundreds of matches at peak times, and way off-peak there's still more than you're saying.
I know the numbers are still low, and I know it's a minor quibble in a sense, but it's not a good thing that so many people (whether joking/serious/misinformed/trolling/whatever) come in here overexaggerating just how low the numbers are, thus possibly turning off more people to the game.

Same, my gold ran out today. I forgot it expired today so I'll have to switch my order to the WiiU version. I enjoyed Black Ops 2 online so hopefully this turns out fun. Reviews come in on Tuesday I assume?
Played BLOPSII and didn't have any issues I might grab this during black friday if I can find for slightly less of a discount. Between this and Deus Ex that should scratch my FPS itch for awhile. Waiting to get Deus Ex for less than 50 as well, hoping to get it for where the rest of the system prices are at least.

Anyone remember the Wiimote control scheme for CoD: BO2? Was the nunchuck's control stick used for full body movement or for weapon selection? I'm asking because I want to see how relatively noob friendly this game will be for my GF, who'll be using the Wiimote (this will be her first FPS experience since Metroid Blast).
I can't see how the second option makes any sense.
full body movement. select weapons with d-pad. (tho, i could have a modified button layout...i think d-pad is weapon selection default)
fabricated backlash

Is this a serious question? We'll probably get some screens the day before release.

Sounds like the Wii U version is going to run at 880x720 again. Not a huge surprise I guess.

Strange resolution, but not surprised. As long as it plays better than last year in single player, I'll be happy.
I'm sure it'll be the same on Xbox 360.
Previously, with the game shifting back and forth between developers every year, we saw it change especially as the engine was improved. This time around, however, I'd imagine the technology base used in the PS3/360/U versions of the game hasn't really evolved much and is likely just about the same as what was used in Blops 2. The only real hope here is that they've put more optimization effort into the Wii U version since Blops 2 was their first crack at the hardware. This time is particularly interesting as Infinity Ward is responsible for the creation of Ghosts (PC/PS4/XB1) while Treyarch is responsible for porting the game to PS3, 360, and Wii U.
Of course, I really don't know how much of Treyarch is dedicated to Ghosts. I'd imagine they are also working on another installment in the franchise for 2014 as well?

I think IW is doing all versions EXCEPT Wii U. Unless there was news to the contrary at some point that I missed.
Apparently the Nintendo team at Treyarch has been working on the Wii U port of Ghosts since early this year, which could explain in part the dropoff in patch support for Black Ops 2 Wii U.
Oh yeah? That was a guess on my part. I'm surprised that IW is handling FIVE versions of the game itself.
Well, perhaps with such a laser focus on one version it will actually stand out.
thats kinda what happened with batman:ao. Solid fps, no tearing, and fewest bugs!

So seeing the above numbers it's 720p then,didn't think Bops2 was that.

I haven't been following closely. Did anybody do "legit" comparisons proving the superiority of the Wii U version of batman, or is it all anecdotal?
Well, it's 880x720 as opposed to 1280x720. BO2 was also 880x720 on all consoles. MW3 and BO1 were a little different. Less vertical lines but more horizontal I think. I think the low point was one of them being 960x540 on PS3.

Screen is 1280 x 720. What about the game?
What about single player?
It's like that for all multiplayer games. Try seeing if you can in Squads.
You can't access the Home while online. Since it pauses the game when you do.

Well? How does the game look? Any high res textures, or does it look like a 360 COD?

It depends on the game. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate will let you access the HOME menu while being in a online lobby (though the screenshot function isn't enabled in this game -.-). It will run in the background without disconnecting you from the other players.
