SO who thinks this will fail? Last times World at War was only awesome for the multiplayer. The controls were subpar compared to that of Metroid Prime 3's, and I don't know about the graphics. Though Activision claims they will blow us away with the graphics, where are the screenshots?

Seriously. I want to see the "revolutionary" wii graphics of Black Ops. Even so, I doubt it will be too good.

What do you guys think?

I had so much fun with World at War, and Modern Warfare improved upon it, so I would be rather surprised if the series on the Wii took a backwards step.

I'm playing the Wii version of World At War right now, and I think it's really good. The graphics and the controls are both fine as far as I'm concerned.

Only if online is crap and, for some reason, doesn't have Wager Online and the killstreaks and maps. I doubt it though, I'm sure it'll be a good Wii game.

I own a Wii and a PC (and DSi). Guess which version of Black Ops I'm getting? Actually, that question could go either way, so I'll tell you. I'm pickin' up the Wii version. I'd be surprised if this one is a step back. Treyarch (not activision) says they will "blow us away." I think they will.

Hopefully the Wii version is comparable to the other versions. (graphics aside, obviously.)

It's Treyarch... what do you think? CoD is ruined forever now that Infinity Ward is pretty much torn to pieces. I'll admit that WaW was kinda fun, multiplayer-wise, though not nearly as impressive as MW. I'll give Treyarch the benefit of a doubt for now. So prove me wrong, Treyarch.

I'm sure it will be fine. The graphics will most likely be toned down a bit because well, it's on the Wii, and almost all third party games on Wii that are also on Xbox360 and PS3 have worse graphics. That doesn't matter to me though. I'm more concerned about gameplay and whether the online works well. I'm sure it will though.

World at War was not the last CoD for the Wii. It was Modern Warfare Reflex and it was much better than World At War in both controls and visuals. I can't comment on Black Ops until at least a freakin screenshot or some footage. Goodness lol.

It will be good if you do not have a 360, PS3, or gaming PC. Though if you do own those consoles you probably will not get the Wii version unless you want to own 2 versions.

I agree with this completely. I think it will rock. But wtf man they need to stop being lazy and release some footage. Be proud of your game or don't make it all.

i think they are proud, its activision PR the issue .I think they want to avoid last years blowout.When Activision released some alpha shots early and everyone went lolz ps2 graphics, then the final version came with good wii graphics and we all were like wtf why did you release the crappy shots(well i wasnt, i kept tabs on developers diaries from treyarch and they were like this doesnt reflects our game at all). Ima be honest, and my theory is that if they release a wii trailer, some casual HD owners could see it, confuse it and say omg it looks crappy and begin a negative word of mouth FOR THEIR console versions.I mean even if the wii version looks great, as a HD version, it would look underwhelming so i understand that fear. Thats why overall is rare to see footage of a wii game that shares engine with the HD version of a game. We got lucky to get the wii spiderman trailer, which looks nearly the same as the HD versions(if more games looked so close, people wouldnt think the gap is that huge).

For it to be a success it needs to sell the most on it's platform, I don't see that happening

Wii owners have said time and time again that if they had a game like that this and it was released at the same time as "others" that enough people would buy the game to show publisher that it's worth going all out on Wii versions to release at the same time everything else does.

This is really the put up or shut up time for the audience, either this game sells the most or the argument "why don't we have a Wii version" isn't able to be used again for the life of the console

Call me crazy but I'd rather get COD Black Ops on Wii than on the PC. Sure it's more expensive and online won't be as good but I really like shooters on the Wii.

People who hate success or FPS will always be negative on this franchise. It will do better than Reflex because that game was a rerelease of an older game.

Ops on Wii is being released with all the other versions just like WAW. This game will sell just fine.

Well Call of Duty is a huge brand nowadays and all the other Wii versions have sold over a million copies plus Treyarch treat the Wii like it is a competent console when it comes to ports, so I have nothing but faith in Black Ops.

I honestly can't wait to be playing this game and go back and read this. Yes, I definitely need to save this quote. I'd agree that MW2 is a joke but I think that people should remember that COD used to be a good series. Treyarch can save the series. Then we get MW3 :P. Just looking at the COD Wii joke, It sold a mil (mw1). It scored an 8.0 . Only 1 point less than the HD versions. It's can't be horrible, now can it?

Yeah it won't sell the most. I'd say PC 360 and PS3 versions will all outsell it. Interesting to see.

It might not fail, but it has a chance. Wii sucks when it comes to FPS games (unless counting metroid prime). Just get a PC or Xbox/PS3 (preferably PS3).

I went out and bought my own copy of World At War today, after trying it out from Gamefly.
