Nintendo Wii- Info, Updates, and Rumors

CAMPAIGN:

One thing that Wii players were excited about with the release of Call of Duty World at War was the hardcore Campaign. The previous big First Person Shooter for the Wii was Medal of Honor Heroes 2, which while having a pretty fun online multiplayer, the Campaign for MOHH2 is more boring than a long school day of quizzes and tests. The Campaign for the Wii contains all missions for it that are in the other versions except for the exciting Black Cats mission where you control the gunners of a WWII fighter plane. While most Wii players are dissappointed by having no Black Cats mission, the main dissappointment is the missing Zombie Mode. Before Call of Duty World at War's release, Treyarch only said that there would be Zombie Mode after completing campaign: they forgot to mention it wasn't on the Wii version. Most Wii players (including myself) bought Call of Duty for its Zombie Mode, but were dissappointed after we beat the Campaign and nothing was unlocked.


Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Multiplayer

While the Campaign is very exciting, the online multiplayer is EXTREME! Most players of this game all say that Call of Duty's online Multiplayer easily surpasses that of Medal of Honor Heroes 2. Although almost all Wii players are dissappointed with the missing features that are in the other versions (Missing about 15 game modes, missing about 7 maps, and missing over 50 challenges, only 4 vs. 4 instead of 6 vs. 6 like on the XBOX 360, PS3, and PC). But what is the biggest upset is that Treyarch has said that an update for the Wii is impossible. Towards the middle of February the Wii version actually did recieve an additional 2 game modes (Team Survival, and Hardcore Free For All), however those are just Private Match settings now available in Public Matches, and they are very flawed. Team Survival has almost no people playing it. But Treyarch has claimed that it is impossible to give the Wii more maps, perks, challenges, etc. because of the Wii's small Hard-drive. While a lot of Wii players still cross their fingers for a real update, deep down everyone realizes the Wii will be left in the dust, while the other versions get their DLC and Map Packs. But don't let that turn you away from Call of Duty World at War for the Wii. If you have an XBOX 360, PS3, or gaming PC, then get Call of Duty WAW for that system; but if you only have a Wii, GET THIS GAME! While Wii players complain about this game and its lack of updates, we easily forget this is the #2 selling game on the Wii ever (not including Wii Sports), and the #1 selling First-Person-Shooter on the Wii so far! It has an advanced ranking and leveling-up system like no other Wii game has ever had before, along with a wide variety of weapons outnumbering Medal of Honor Heroes 2 about 27-10. So although it may be behind the versions for other consoles, it is easily the best Hardcore game out there for the Wii so far!

UPDATES:

So far there are no updates scheduled for the Wii version of Call of Duty World at War, and there probably wont be for quite some time.


RUMORS:

There are some who say that now Treyarch is bound to give us at least one map with the new Wii System Update 4.0 which allows for use of SD cards as high as 32 GB. Treyarch has never replied or even talked about any updates, but this Wii System Update does nothing but move us closer to at least a little bit of Downloadable Content.
