Black Ops on Wii rant

OK, I'm just a simple gamer who owns the Wii version of Call of Duty: Black Ops. I was surprised at how good the game looked, even on Nintendo's admittedly lower-horsepower console. After playing for a few months though, I'm starting to get a sickening feeling in my stomach that nice-looking graphics came at a loss of several features that are present in other versions, some of which have been integral parts of the Call of Duty series since the very beginning.

Seriously, check this bull out:

-No killcam or game/round winning killcam

-No Five zombies map

-No Chopper Gunner killstreak

-No clans

-No emblems

-MUCH fewer crosshair-editing options

Why would Treyarch keep these features out of just this one version of the game? There is a wide fanbase of FPS fans on Wii, and Treyarch and all the other companies need to learn that we aren't appreciating the missing features in their games. FIGHT THE POWER!

you should be playing goldeneye anyways.

I didnt even know they made Black Ops for Wii.

hardware limitations? :P

Wii Optical disc?

I remember people saying that the wii version was equal to the other versions, i loled.

Ah, you got the best version of the game anyways, might as well give up something for that.

I can't even tell if you're being sarcastic or not.

Superior control scheme, good online, acceptable graphics and ten dollars cheaper? I'm perfectly happy with my Black Ops Wii purchase ;)

[QUOTE="Pug-Nasty"][QUOTE="Chris_Williams"] he has a point, i mean you don't see wii owners suing activision like ps3 and pc owners areDroidPhysX

I like Black Ops, but I think Goldeneye is the best FPS on the Wii. As for certain things not being in the Wii version of Black Ops, it may be due to hardware and storage limitations.

Honestly, I still think they did a good job with the Wii version.

Why would you buy Black Ops on the Wii? That version exists for 12 year olds that don't have a 360 or PS3. dc337

Really? Because I dont hear Activision threatening to shut down the Wii's online because of persistent problems like with the PS3 :lol:

Well that's news to me anyway........

homsarrunner3 (really, there are 2 other mispelled versions of home star runner before you?) are you asking why they would make more involved versions on other systems instead of making them all three (or four if PC is allowed in the conversation) equal to what is on th wii?

basically setting a bar based on the lowest common denominator?

So that's why the Wii Version is rated "M" for Mature!

Its target audience is 12 year olds!:roll:

Wii owners don't care.

No there's not. If anything, it is more of a niche market on Wii. There's been around 70 million Wiis sold. Modern Warfare Reflex sold rather poorly. Goldeneye sold OK, but not great considering how many Wiis there are and how much marketing it got. There is not too much of a demand for FPS on Wii. The wide fanbase of FPS fans is on 360.

Modern Warfare Reflex sold rather poorly.

Lol... Wii version of Black Ops???wmc540

For real. If you're looking for a decent shooter experience, make sure you own something other than a Nintendo console.
