Modern Warfare for the Wii Gets Co-Op... Barely

Marc "DjinniMan" Allie August 22nd, 2009 at 12:23 AM    


Poor, poor Wii gamers.  There's much to love about Nintendo's system, but when it comes to multi-console franchises, the Wii just falls short (with a few notable exceptions).  The fabled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is headed to the Wii this fall, and it will be quite different from its brothers on more powerful consoles.  All is not lost, however; there will be co-op in Modern Warfare, which was lacking from the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.  Great news, right?

Not so much.  It appears the co-op being added is pretty much the same was we got in Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii last holiday season.  A second player can join in any time throughout the campaign (good), but only controls a targeting reticle and an ammo bar (bad).  We found this "co-op" in World at War very disappointing, to put it mildly, in our review.  This kind of co-op is really best left to kid's games or situations where split-screen would be impossible.  I wonder: is bad co-op better than no co-op at all?

Well, I guess it is better than nothing at all. It is better to impress the few people that like it, rather than not include Co-op at all and unimpress the people who both like and dislike this type of Co-op. I'm personally not a fan of it, but eh, I guess there is no harm done having it in the game.

It's like Monster Hunter 3 They said there will be Splitscreen. I was like YEAH!!!
...and now that the game has been released (in Japan), it is confirmed that it has Splitscreen, but ONLY the Training missions, not the whole game. I was disappointed, but my opinion is
Either this or nothing.

Odd thing about the wii is the amount of co-op games which consist of the second player basically doing crap like collecting stars or some lame thing like that. We need more Death JR and Spyro stuff. I couldnt imagine anyone thinking hell yeah, shotgun on star gathering! You would be better off leaving it out so you can use the other remote to knock the other person out so you can actually play the frikkin game.
