confirmed, modern warfare not coming to the wii.

Infinity Ward only focuses in the more powerful consoles. It was obvious that it wasn't going on the Wii.

i already expect this

Well there's maybe a chance it may come out for the wii,

[QUOTE="AdmiralWolverin"][QUOTE="danger_ranger95"]

Darnit!!!!

I was kinda hoping it would come (which it still could), but oh well. I still haven't picked up COD:WaW or MoH:H2 lol. I'm waiting for the right price.

umcommon

There linked, I hope that source is reliable.

cheers, ive not got another source as well

"I actually have two insiders, one is actually a video game developer so he knows when a developer has a job posting for a particular game. He has been right in the past he did say that World at War was going to be on the Wii and that is would be "skinned" compared to the HD versions. He was spot on. My other insider is from the video game media and he also says the game is coming to the Wii.

Infinity Ward is actually the one's that finished optimizing the Call of Duty 4 engine for the Wii. After IW finished optimizing the engine for the Wii, they handed it over to Treyarch so they can get familiar with it and get their hands in it. In this process, Treyarch worked around the things they wanted in their game and what couldn't make it in the game with the engine. And some of the things were cut due to time and cost and to Wii hardware.

Do you know what confuses me. Why do people say "Infinity Ward hates the Wii?" They clearly don't and I have talked to IW's Robert Bowling (FourZeroTwo) on many occasions and asked him on his thoughts about the Wii. He says "It's a great console, with a lot of potential." He has no problems with the Wii whatsoever. Infinity Ward loves the Wii.

Why would Infinity Ward finish optimizing their engine for the Wii, then never release a game for that particular console?

And the reason why Call of Duty 4 never came to the Wii was because Infinity Ward was trying to port the engine over to the Wii but sadly they didn't have enough time to do so. Activision said they HAD to release the game soon so they never got to porting the engine over. And in their down time after the release of Call of Duty 4, Infinity Ward finally got the chance to finish their already work-in-progress engine port, and then later gave it to Treyarch for World at War. And since the engine is now finished and is ready to be optimized even farther by Infinity Ward, there is no excuse of why Modern Warfare 2 shouldn't release on the Wii. "

it's a bit of a mouthfall, but he continues on that page

How is it that everyone didn't already know this?

Infinity Ward made COD4 which wasn't for the Wii so they didn't know how to use the hardware, so what exactly pointed to it being on the Wii now?

You're aware that Infinity Ward has never worked on the Wii at all right?

Haziqonfire

Yes.. but that was made by Treyarch - a VERY different company than Infinity Ward.. its the reason why WaW was inferior to COD4.

the fact that w@W sold a million and the COD4 engine was already up and running on Wii.rgame1

You're aware that Infinity Ward has never worked on the Wii at all right?

[QUOTE="umcommon"] 1) Are you saying QUALITY, feature packed games aren't possible on Wii? The Conduit and MH3 say otherwise with well done graphics and online modes. Only excuse is lazy devs. Jaysonguy

It has nothing to do with lazy devs

Infinity Ward wants to make a certain game, for that game to go on the Wii it has to be chopped up and watered down.

My point is that it's not worth their time

They have the foundation for the best selling platform this generation and they're constantly improving it to take advantage of the hardware available

What sense does it make to stop all of that to work on a less successful platform that will get less sales and require more work?

THEY PLANNED TO MAKE COD 4 ON WII AS WELL IN THE FIRST PLACE, BUT THEY RAN OUT OF TIME

also i think a million sales is worth their time

HVS in no way, shape or form should ever be compared to IW

AsianGammer94

What?

HVS has impressed me way more than IW.

I'm already prefering the Conduit to Modern Warfare 2.

[QUOTE="lordlors"]i have no respect for devs who don't appreciate the wiiAlexSays

but SP FPSs and in that catgeory IW fails. CoD 4 has only what 4 hours of SP. What a sucker for SP gamers.lordlors

Those who own a wii and know that it is built from the ground up.

I supported HVS once with Gyrostarr - I'm not making the same mistake again.

that sucks man well thats why I got an x-box I guess when this game comes out, I'll have to dust it off.

this does not surprise me a bit.

Didn't really expect Modern Warfare 2 to come to the wii. I would much rather have The Conduit for the wii and stick to playing MW2 on my ps3. Besides, I would much rather have exclusive games that are made for the Wii rather then lazy ports of games that will be heavily stripped down. Although, I did not play WaW for the Wii so I'm not sure how that went.JDollaz187

[QUOTE="mouthforbathory"]

[QUOTE="EpiphoneMan2008"] It would not be stripped down!loco145

Sorry, but you can't compare CPU's that way.

[QUOTE="loco145"]

[QUOTE="mouthforbathory"]

CoD:WaW while fun on the Wii, was stripped down. The game only had 8 players max online, and while the game did have it's shining moments, had the game been rebuilt with a Wii specific version of the Modern Warfare engine, it could've looked better, because alot of the textures in the Wii version look absolutely abysmal, though the game was still fun. It just had the capacity to be much better but it was a simple porting of the code to Wii, and tuning down the graphics, not even rebuilding them to suit the Wii at all. Almost like taking Crysis off a PC with proper a graphics card to run it with high or very high graphics settings and throwing it onto a computer with barely enough GPU horsepower to render it at minimum specs at a decent framerate. Chances are that a Wii version would be a stripped down version and the sheer level of orchestration needed to run MW2 just like MW1 needed would be very difficult to translate to the Wii without losing much of the quality. That's just the CPU I'm talking about, let's not get into the graphics and RAM segment. The cores in the Xenon CPU in the Xbox 360 are not only 4 times the clock speed than the Wii's single core PowerP700 series CPU (3.2 GHz vs 743 MHz) but they have better architecture and there are 3 cores in the Xenon. The Xenon as a whole is at least 12x as powerful not taking into account the multi-threading capabilities and architecture improvements in the improved Power based cores in the Xenon.

[QUOTE="mouthforbathory"]

[QUOTE="loco145"]

AdmiralWolverin

Actually I can, they are both PowerPC based processors. The three cores in the Xenon are all independent and even if they didn't have an improved architecture, just one of those cores automatically has 4 times the theoretical input of the Wii's PPC790CL variant. And their is 3 of those cores in the Xenon, it's simple math. What's funny is there are architecture improvements, not to mention multi-threading capability in the Xenon, 2 threads per core, 6 threads total. That sheer magnitude of power vs what the Wii does makes things difficult for a Wii version of Modern Warfare 2, with all the possible physics, interaction, bullet physics/penetration, AI, basic game orchestration and what not that needs to go down all at the same time.

mouthforbathory

And since the atom and a conroe are both x86 based procesors the the atom is just 1/2 of a e6850, rgith? :roll:

And you didn't even read the article posted. One of the difference of the Xenon and the Broadway is that the Boradway is Out of Order while the Xenon is restricted to In-order-execution.

The Xenon may be in order execution, but it's 1 or more likely 2 generational gaps in PowerPC architecture almost like comparing a G3 series to a G5, which means clock per clock one of the Xenon's cores is still going beat the Wii's single core CPU. As far as the Atom goes, it's similar in performance to Netburst architecture from what I hear in terms of performance so it would be about half as powerful as a single Core 2 based CPU but some benchmarks show the Atom being Pentium 4s at the same clock speed pretty handily. Core 2 is about 1.8 times more capable per clock in many benchmarks than Netburst so a Pentium 4 2.0 GHz is about a quarter the capability at the most compared to a Core 2 Duo running at the same clock. What I meant by saying "they are both PowerPC based" I was refering that code could work on either one natively most likely, therefore we can somewhat compare them if we didn't take architectural improvements to account just by using the clock speeds, and 12x is a hefty number.

You keep saying the same. My point is that the Broadway and the xenon are different architectures within the PowerPC and cna't be compared like that... Also, COD:WaW wii had the same numbers of enemies, physics, AI and particles effects than the 360 version. Call of Duty 4 is playable at 30 fps on an Ion.

ANd the main point of the thread is that MW2 is comming for Wii.

Good, I wouldn't get it on the Wii anyway.

Oh geez what a shame /sarcasm.

Even if it was going to be on the Wii I wouldve got it on PC anyway.

You know, i had to check in what forums I was in, for a minute it seemed like I was in system wars. This really is not surprise to me, also it didn't catch my attention much. I wouldn't even have time to play with the conduit coming out.

Oh sure, they ran out of time for the all important Call of Duty season, man even with the playoffs it's over in a flash

The idea that they wasted the time to make a Wii version from the ground up and then abandoned it completely seems, as the French say, le false.

[QUOTE="AdmiralWolverin"] for the record, infinty ward was the one that made the cod4 engine work on wii, the only reason cod4 wasnt on wii was cause they ran out of time there's probably a half finished cod4 for wii out there somewhere but we'll never play itAdmiralWolverin

[QUOTE="Jaysonguy"]

[QUOTE="AdmiralWolverin"] ooh, another claim with absolutely no evidence newsflash cod4 wii wouldve been the same as cod waw wii: a port they dont need to make it ground up since they have the engine working on all 3 consoles however due to the fact that the wii is built so differently to the ps3 and 360 (which are built in a similar way to computers), it probably took a fair amount of time to get the engine working but cod waw on wii has the exact same level design, AI and enemy count as the hd versions CAUSE IT'S A PORT i dunno where you got this built from the ground up fromAdmiralWolverin

So now you're saying that World at War is the same on all the current consoles?

Well see? There's your problem, it's not

Not at all, what the heck?

World at War uses a stripped down COD4 engine (which shoots down your "oh they had an engine and it was almost done then at 8 they had to go" argument. Yes Infinity Ward was almost done with the engine but threw it away instead of giving it to Treyarch, sure thing)

The stripped down engine has watered down visuals, AI, and enemy count. The game still dips into the teens for frame rate here and there

You'd be right about the engines being same if you only counted that "They used to be the COD4 engine at some point" except on the Wii it was downgraded and elsewhere it was upgraded.

[QUOTE="AdmiralWolverin"] no, there's your problem, it is having less people in mulitplayer, missing one powerhouse intense level nazi zombies doesnt mean it was built ground up it just meant that treyarch couldnt be bothered to port these features over as well since it would take more debugging they wanted - they got the main campaign on there, they got 8 players online, for them that's a fair step above the competitionJaysonguy

It's stupid that CoD 5 was made for Wii and if they wanted a ton of good sales they would sell modern warfare 2 for Wii. I've heard that the people who make Modern warfare don't like the Wii system. What's their problem? Oh well, this is just more reason they should still make world war 2 games, since those are the only ones they make for Wii...
