Thoughts:
Call of Duty: Black Ops is off to a tremendous start with its reported game-play data. I don't own Black Ops on the Wii, but purchased it on my PS3 instead....and I really do miss the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls offered in Wii FPS games.
Treyarch has established themselves as being an extremely capable developer of FPS games for the Wii. Every Call of Duty game released on the Wii so far: Call of Duty 3, Call of Duty: World at War, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex, and Call of Duty: Black Ops; has been developed/ported by Treyarch, and published by Activision.
Call of Duty: World at War was the first game of the series on the Wii, to implement online multi-player.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex was a port of the original Xbox 360 and PS3 game developed by Infinity Ward, and it was the first game of the series to implement more fully customizable Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls.
Call of Duty: Black Ops is the first game of the series on the Wii, to implement voice-chat with a headset, as well as including the online co-op Zombie Mode.
If you're wondering, "Is Black Ops really doing that well compared to other games' debuts?" Well, here is what Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex's debut game-play data looked like when it debuted, just 21 days after it released:

I think with the addition of Zombie mode this year, Call of Duty: Black Ops could be a serious contender for becoming the "Most Played Wii Game" in the "Per person" category.
Questions:
If you purchased Call of Duty: Black Ops for the Wii, what do you think of it? If you played the other Call of Duty Wii games, do you think Black Ops is a step forward for the series, or is it more like moving sideways, just maintaining the status quo?

The game is great, but not without it's flaws. This is the first wii game to offer a real patching system, and Treayarch is working diligently to fix the connection and bug issues that plagued the initial release. We were also cut short a zombie map, but with the addition of actual real DLC, we should see this map along with the World At War zombie maps too. This game is highly addictive, and truly is a turning point for hardcore games on the system. Oh, and did I mention UNRESTRICTED VOICE CHAT. Great game, GET IT NOW!!!

ReplyDeleteDo you know what Zombie map it was? Was it the Pentagon?
I own the PS3 version, and have only played on the Pentagon a few times...we mainly play on the original Zombie map that is unlocked from the start of the game.
Also, I'm glad you mentioned the voice chat, and I'm glad to see Treyarch get it implemented in this game, as that was the reason I didn't purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex...because it didn't support Wii Speak, though Wii Speak is a pretty poor solution for voice chat from my experience in The Conduit and Monster Hunter Tri with it.
Thanks for the comment and feedback! If anybody else has played Call of Duty: World at War, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex on the Wii, what do you think of Black Ops?
Hi Coffee, great site, love what you do here!
ReplyDeleteI've been playing the Call of Duty games almost exclusively on the Wii since CoD 3, so I've been able to see the steady evolution of the franchise on Nintendo's console. Barring some really bad connectivity issues pre-patch, I can safely say Black Ops is the best Wii CoD yet.
Might sound like scant praise, but with a zombie map and a perk or two missing (and that cool arcade game...) this is the least gimped feeling CoD ever!
Add to that the headset support, decreased bullet lag, awesome controls (camera lock ftw!) and overall polish, and I no longer really feel like I'm missing all that much compared to the HD versions.
Except graphically, of course, but whatever I'm a Wii gamer :P
Game rocks!
Wow. At over 3 hours per session? 3 hours would probably be my absolute limit, and of course the way averages work, there are people playing for more that 3 hours at a time out there.

Though they may have graphics, the Wii does have the game-play advantage I believe, with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk controls.
I'm really glad to see a HEADSET being used for voice chat on the Wii, I seriously don't know why Nintendo sat around for 4 YEARS and didn't have a headset for the system. Glad to see a third party finally address this issue.
I may end up owning Black Ops on the Wii, and if I do, I'll add my friend code to my "Contact Information and System Tags" page.
@WesFX:
Yea, the 3 hours average is really good, and I know you commented on The Conduit story...if you enjoyed that even a little online, I'm guessing you would probably enjoy the Call of Duty games, with the online multi-player they offer.
Call of Duty: World at War is still my most played Wii game to date, though that could be changing in 2011.
Thank you both for the comments and feedback! I really appreciate it!
