I'm getting it as a gift this Christmas. Looking forward to it.

Same here. I honestly like it better than the hands-on time I've had with the DS4. Feels a lot more solid, and the triggers are still nicer.
It's the opposite for me. I'm lucky to average a 1:1 on the U, so the lower barrier to entry is a major plus.
I'm probably gonna be hamburger in Shadowfall.
Lol
Why do people shit up threads for no reason?
Define "solid".
The Wii U version of Blops 2 ran slower than any other version of the game. It matched the Xbox 360 version resolution wise but performance was much slower overall. That's not even taking into account the tiny player base.
It wasn't a great port by any means.
That said, I would imagine after a year that Ghosts will actually run better on Wii U than Blops 2 ever did. It should be a very decent version of the game. I doubt it will match the 360 version performance wise but it should be very close.

Yep. Might be a multiplatform title, but you can only get pointer controls on one system.
THAT is actually kind of strange to me as the Move is as much an accessory for PS4 as the Wii-mote is an accessory for Wii U. Neither motion controller is included with the system.
Probably DLC's and

@OneOfSwords Why is the Wii U excluded from the clans feature in your FAQ?
Dan Amrich [1oS] @OneOfSwords
@BagirovEmmanuel I am basing it on this document, which does not list Wii U as supported by the Clans system: http://ow.ly/qgyzT

Nobody in the real world gave a shit about the DF nitpicks. It was a quality port.

Bits of info regarding the WiiU version from: http://community.callofduty.com/thread/200787850#.UnFY0xCYYnE
If it is a solid port as BLOPS II was, with pointer controls and multiplayer on two screens and whatnot I might get it.
At least I won't have to pay to play online (not that I play online much anyway. I guess that haven't been a game I played online for more than one hour since Mass Effect 3).
Edit: oh! Look at this post above me! Looks like the port is going to be good!

there is no 5 player local in BO2. The game cannot do split screen on gamepad when more than 2 people are playing which is bs cause Sega racing has 5 player support

lol...move? For pointer controls?
For someone who so adamantly preaches about performance, why would you bring up move?

If trey is handling the port, that's good... but i'm still doubtful of the game since it's IW that made it and Trey is porting their stuff. I hope it's a good version.
I do find it funny as well. I remember the "IW >>>> Trey" days back when world at war came out. IW isn't really the same team as they were years ago and Trey was never garbage at CoD. I loved their iterations in the series.
I'm debating it. All of the friends I play with either aren't getting Ghost or are upgrading the next gen. The lack of DLC is a minus, but the map packs are always hit or miss, and I didn't even buy the last few BLOPS II ones. The small community worries me, too.
But I am enjoying my Wii U and am looking for more things to play on it. Off TV play is fun, too, be cool to just chill in bed and play a couple of rounds.

Uhh, I gave a shit the day I bought it before any comparisons were made. It ran much worse than I expected.
Honestly, I had more fun with the pointer controls in Killzone 3 than any other pointer based shooter to date. I thought it felt absolutely incredible.
They weren't from the beginning, however, which is the point.
I wish they would include wiimotion+ like how it is done in Pikmin 3.
Really? 360? That would be a shitty port. Do you really think that?
BTW when is AC4 Wii U vs. 360 comparison scheduled?
I prefer pointer controls but I'm not sure yet. The Wii U version doesn't seem to be getting the FreeFall map and I think that's going to hurt adoption which already is going to be an issue. Population was a real issue for me as I enjoy playing a lot of the other types of matches. I simply couldn't play them on the Wii U due to the population. That's a big part of why I sold my copy. I'm very close to possibly getting the PS3 version instead. It might come down to a coin toss in the end unless I see something, anything that gives the impression things are going to be okay population wise.

Will rent to compare to PS4 version and to see if the online (not TDM and FFA) is playable this time around
I'm getting it. Had a lot of fun playing BO2 with my brother when he visits us and the advantage of having our own screens and going online together was great. I would buy for PS4, but I only recently decided I wanted one of those and don't see myself being able to get one anytime soon if it ends up being hard to find. Heck, the primary reason I bought the Pro Controller was for Call of Duty as I use the gamepad for every other game.

hahaha. playing on wii u was a super ego booster once i learned the maps. i was pulling double my 360 K/D and my accuracy was up to (that one is thanks to the pro controller).

World at war was a damn fine game. It was kind of underrated when IW was considered to be the best thing ever (as cod4 was great) but it was apparent once MW2 shipped that treyarch is better.

Good to know you think it's passable. Still a janky mess compared to an IR setup.
I'd get it, but while i enjoyed BLOPs 2 i did feel a bit burned on it in terms of DLC and low player base. Even at it's peak population it was tough playing all the game modes, and while I understand why they didn't add additional COD maps, it still was a little disappointing.
I also have a lot of games I want to buy this holiday, unlike last year where there wasn't a lot to choose from that I particularly excited about.

If I get it, will get for Wii U. Currently have a decent backlog, so will most likely not get until Christmas/early next year.
I was surprised how much I enjoyed BLOPS II on Wii U. I would consider myself a novice to intermediate level player, so it was fun actually being able to run around the levels and get some pretty good kill streaks. I am just no where near the level of most players on 360, so my K/D ratio was crap and I would barely be able to explore the maps due to getting killed so fast.
I expect Ghosts to sell significantly better than BLOPS II, simply because it's coming out on all consoles simultaneously, instead of months later like the last game.

Nope. Looks shit
Junior morons in full effect, since we have seen zero footage...
OT: Yes, I had fun with Blops2 on Wiiu despite missing extra maps and shit (such bullshit btw) they did patch it along the way which is good, just need to still get used to 60fps pointer aiming.

The issues were limited to the single player campaign. The online was not affected. Anecdotally, two friends of mine played BOTH and PS3 and Wii U versions extensively and they both said the Wii U version was a much smoother online experience.

Some of us have our big boy pants on and are discussing a topic that interests many of us.
Others do not, and are here only to be goofy internet tough guys.
Less of the latter, more of the former, please.
