Sounds very good, definitely sounds like it stands up to the quality of MWR. Although, I would have liked to have theatre mode, even if it were limited. (Is Brawl still the only Wii game that has a video capture feature?)
 
It's aliiiiiiiiiive.

Very happy that all game modes are there. I'll mostly stick to deathmatch options, but I'm glad that co-op and zombies and headphones and whatnot are there for people that want it. I'm interested mostly on if/how they tweaked the controls.

I thought there might be some screen shots in here....nothing yet eh? Just wanted to prepare myself for the inevitable bitching, comparisons, ect...This is the first COD I've even been remotely interested in, hoping for a grand romp.

We got the Black Ops mics in today for Wii and they look pretty good, but I don't know if they'll be worth it since there will be like 2 people talking on the Wii probably.

Anyone have a good guess on what the rules will be for who you can voicechat with?

Other stuff sounds great. Neat that combat training made it in.

Damn, finally some information about the game. Too bad there aren't any screens, but co-op zombies? I'm in. Can't wait. Only thing we need now are some screens and a trailer or something.

I hope Play Asia drops the price of the Wii version, though. It's been sitting at $64 for over a month now.

Wow. This surprises me :D. *pre-ordered*. I might actually NOT buy the 360 version this time. Nice work Treyarch.
onken said:
You can't really call it "full" without campaign co-op.
I don't think the PS3/360 versions have campaign co-op either, so it's pretty much "full".

It's wired right? Like connecting it to the Wii's USB? I'd imagine you can still use WiiSpeak too if you wish, hopefully. I have WiiSpeak already, not being able to use it would be irritating.

Yep I'd hope so too. It would be utterly retarded if the game didn't support it.

Sounds good, I trust treyarch, they have a small passionate group trying to deliver on their wii versions of the COD games.

I kinda want this version for shits and giggles too. I like to see games that push hardware to it's limits. Plus, after playing a ton of MAG using move controls, I kinda hate going back to two sticks. Does anyone know if the camera range is totally adjustable for motion control?

Wii Speak will not not work Black Ops, need the PDP headset...which sucks for UK People as not seeing it anywhere for sale..they finally get multiplayer voicechat working and then they dont get the sets for sale in time WTF???

so this time it was the peripherals that would let this game down unless they are all suddenly going to come out at retail on the Day of release?

How could they not support the official peripheral for voicechat ??
So strange...

I dont think it is activisions fault more llike the peripheral makers, also Wii speak has too many issues to work usefully (I wont know until I try out the game with Wii speak to test it, otherwise I hope the headset comes out soon)

Call Of Duty: Black Ops Wii gets zombies

"Don't get me wrong, I love playing the game with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, especially after I customize the controls to my heart's content," she continued. "But once we started supporting the Classic Controller Pro, I was hooked. Now I find myself switching back and forth between the two depending on my mood
Oh, noobs, you never disappoint :lol


I had a google alert with a little bit of text saying that the wii version of the game was leaked yesterday (but I can't acces the website...), so we should soon have visuals/videos for the game...

Is there a mode that supports the classic controller?

Reflex was nearly unplayable. I got so much motion sickness because how jittery the game was.

So let me get this straight: the game is releasing in less than a week and they showed absolutely NO footage (still nor video) of it?
It boggles my mind why would that happen, so why?

The only reason I can think of is because the Wii version will look so bad next to the others, less people will want to buy it, but this is the Wii crowed. They should know buy now not to even think about graphics. So, why else?

i still think they want to give goldeneye a fair old crack of the sales whip..by showing what CoD BO Wii can do they may eat into Goldeneye Sales

Online Zombie co-op with Voice chat, C'mon!!

Ah, that would be a good reason. I forgot about Goldeneye. Wiki says it releasing around the same time. Talk about bad timing for such a cult classic...

GoldenEye is out in the US and on Friday in Europe. CoD is next week.

Is it just me, or is anyone else stupidly excited about the reticule and logo customization on the weapons? I am hopeful that the Wii version will have all of this, but not sure.

I am surprised that there isn't some Wii video since the game should have escaped to the wild already.

Sooo... for UK Gaf, it seems like "Gamesbasement" (I've never heard of them) have an exclusive deal on the Wii headset for Black ops: http://www.gamesbasement.co.uk/acce...ops-headbanger-headset-black-wii-PD-8881.html (from Go nintendo). Which seems silly really because it means not a lot of people are going to have it. If it were in GAME or Gamestation or HMV, a lot more people would be chatting online. Also, seems a tad expensive at £23.

EDIT: Ah, exclusive until December as said here: http://wii.nintendolife.com/news/2010/11/games_basement_nabs_exclusive_pdp_wii_headsets_in_uk (also a £5 off code in there too). Might wait till the price drops.

And yes...STILL waiting on screens or a trailer are we? Sigh.

Yeah, I'm also hoping they include these features in the Wii version. The only feature I can see not making it in might be the name on the guns because I think it's the clan tag that get's etched into the gun and the previous Wii versions did not have clan tag support. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

Getting it at the midnight release and will have some vids up shortly after, probably around 1.30 - 2 am CT.
Thanks

Pretty sad for Activision. If it is in fact because of Goldeneye (which seems a little weird) then it's somewhat understandable. But CoD would sell regardless, so...

Bought my headset yesterday. Intrigued by voice chat. Not sure what I will find, especially if only a small portion of the game population has the headset.

Does almost everyone on XBOX Live play CoD with a headset, or mostly people playing in private games?
 
Status of thumbs: twiddling.

Just got Goldeneye yesterday and realized I need to boot Reflex back up and take note of my dead zone sizes, sensitivity, turning speed etc and move it over. I made a whole junk account where all I did was adjust my control settings for a couple hours, getting killed constantly in the process, but when I finished it was perfection. Leagues beyond dual analogs.

Too bad you can't have a universal FPS control parameter scheme that can move from game to game :D

They should have released some media for Reflex but didn't (except for a few crappy pics :lol ) and probably wont do it for BO so once again it will be left up to others to get some media out in the wild.
