Wii's Call of Duty 4 now dubbed 'Modern Warfare: Reflex'

by Justin McElroy on Sep 17th 2009 10:00AM

Activision: Yeah, we think we're going to call the Wii game just "Modern Warfare," so people know it's the same game you guys made a couple of years ago.

Infinity Ward: ... Huh. Do you realize that we have an inexhaustible amount of cash, a scary amount of weaponry knowledge, a nigh limitless supply of night vision goggles and, as of November 11th, all the free time in the world?

Acti: ... You know, we talked it over --

IW: What, just right now?

Acti: Yeah, yeah, just right now, just this second. And we decided we should call it Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex, just so there's no confusion.

IW: Well, if you're sure.

Fin.

**Applauds**

UNLIMITED SUPPLY OF NIGHTVISION GOGGLES FTW!!!

I got here late, what the fuck is this shit?

Why on earth would activision decide to release cod4 for wii, around the same time the sequel is coming to the hd consoles. To me, it just gives the wii a bad rep i e:

"go buy a wii and get a game that came out two years ago, for FULL PRICE! also it looks like crap and (probably) doesn't control as well as the older version. Oh ya and you can't chat online thus throwing away any real team aspect in multiplayer."

I don't get why nintendo thought it would be a good idea to release the wii with inferior hardware. I mean its more expensive than the 360 these days... Yes, its sold more (because of the novelty of motion controls), but soon, the others will have motion as well, rendering the wii as the more expensive, less powerful console, that has shitty ports like this.

This is more Activision milking another one of its franchises amart. Activision is fast becoming the M. Night Shamalyan of the videogame industry. That is, a lot of press, hype, a twist and shit tons angst from consumers.

I like all of M. Nights movies...only one I had an issue with was Lady in the water...

I assume this is because you have erased "The Happening" completely from your memory, correct?

yea seriously.. the happening had boom mics doing "TOASTY!!" every other scene

The Happening wasnt THAT bad to me...lol...I mean it was over hyped as his first R rated movie....but the story was good shit

There's something seriously wrong with you if you thought The Happening's story was "good".

That story is actually one of his more truth based stories.....plants have done crazy shit before

First my eyes!!

Now my ears??

Reflex? WTF?

I was hoping that was what it was...

and it was...

I have a bad feeling that picture is going to re-ignite a lot of hatred....

Because it is bullshot?

I love reading the actual discussions that take place.

The reflex is an only child, hes waiting in the park
The reflex is in charge of finding treasure in the dark
And watching over lucky clover isnt that bizarre
Every little thing the reflex does leaves you answered with a question mark

Sbrooks, you've gone too far this time...
but I'm daaanncinnng on the vaaaalentiiine!

P.S. I don't care what anyone says. Duran Duran fucking rules.

They should call it "Last-Gen Warfare"

Oh Snap!!! good one though

Two last gen warfares ducktaped together?

That is one sexy iphone game

Rated 'up' for 'upvote'.

All kidding aside I actually thought that was a shot from an iPhone/PSP game.

Nash, the PSP's gfx are better than that. ;)

"Modern Warfare: Relax" sounds better, imo.

Frankie says it best: Relax - don't do it!

I should probably go ahead and say this:

Those pictures that were revealed were taken during the pre-Beta of Modern Warfare Wii. Activision has already said the final game will look MUCH better than those screenshots suggest.

Heh heh heh....of COURSE they did.....

*pats you on the head*.

Pics or it didn't happen

No offense buddy, but I usually don't trust facts from a guy called "Mr. Fister"

Certainly the final build will look better than this. World at War looked better than this. That much was given from the start

Not that it will look good, but certainly better.

Looking better is different than looking good. Whats the old saying? Something like fat people can lose weight but there's nothing you can do about ugly? I guess we will all find out if this game is fat or ugly when it releases.

I'd only buy this game if Duran Duran does the intro version and/or this game is a tie-in for Guitar Hero: Duran Duran.

So what you're saying is....

Duran Duran of Warcraft?

give him the stick...

dont give him the stick!

do you know my dad?

ooooOOOooooooooooooooo

Haha Wii sucks so much.

Haha ur comment sucks so much.

Or it rocks.. big time. But then again if you're not into console gaming you probably wouldn't like it.

You may as well look at Vampire Rain and say, "Haha PS360 sucks so much."

your comparing Vampire Rain to cod4? .. uhh .. right..

Man I really hate the way western 3rd parties treat the Wii.

The alternative is to treat it like Nintendo does and come out with one worthwhile game a year (three TOPS.)

That would be nice wouldn't it? One worthwhile game a year from each third party is better then none.

And is Nintendo pumping out less games then Microsoft or Sony?

worthwhile is incredibly subjective, of course. In 2007, they (Nintendo themselves) had far more than 3 worthwhile games, but the standards of some would reduce that to the bigger 2 of that year (and those wickedly sinful people would discount Radiant Dawn)

This year, however, they're literally on target to put out 5 new games for the system at all. And one of those hardly qualifies (Wii Fit +)

It's not just western developers. Look at all the shitty ports from Eastern developers. Thats a little unfair to act like only western developers put out shitty games and ports.

I think Punch Out came out this year, Wii Sports Resort, Wii Fit Redux, New Super Mario Brothers ... whats the other one on Wii I'm missing? So, counting Punch Out and Wii Sports which have already released there are 3 more good Nintendo first party exclusives? Do we count Wii Fit as a game?

Not a bad end of the year for the Wii in the least bit. I want that new Fatal Frame & SIlent Hill the most. Then, Muramasa ... I just don't play it enough to really buy many games on it for myself because I'm always on the PS3. Not to mention the kidos are always playing something on their Wii. I played that Links Crossbow training and all though there isn't much to it at all it's a fun little time sink.

The other one you're thinking of is Excitebots

I'm not saying they're necessarily good (though they all sound good, even Wii Fit Plus, since it adds a Platformer mode), i'm saying that 5 new games is all Nintendo put on the Wii this year period, published by them. Three others, but they're all New Play Control (if we count MP Trilogy as NPC, which you more or less have to)

Modern Warfare: PS2ish

Modern Warfare: 480p at Best?

Modern Warfare: Glasses Won't Fix the Blurry

Modern Warfare: Who needs Dynamic Light and Real Shadows?

Modern Warfare: Ugly

Modern Warfare: Start playing. Yes, the textures loaded.
