"now all you 360 lovers can suck it!!!!! this game looks great." – natevberg, YouTube commenter
No insight from us relating to the recently leaked footage of the training mission from Modern Warfare: Reflex (and, prior to that, the original Modern Warfare) is required. Mr. natevberg seems to sum up the raw emotion of the video beautifully. To see the modern waggle controls in action, check out the video after the jump.

Btw, this wasn't a first type of comment, it's just that natevberg's comment is really funny (in a stupid way). Yeah, like 360 owners (and/or PS3 and/or Pc owners for the matter) would ever want that cr ap with all the amazing games they already have and the great games that are in the pipeline for them (like MW2).

Its amazing that you watched the 8 minute video in 2 and then came up with the well crafted analysis.
I for one and surprised by how good it looks. If i did not have it for the 360 and PC, and MW2 wasnt coming out in a few days, I would get it. With a solid online component, this could be the shooter that Wii owners should get.

Your argument is invalid. You stated MW2='great game'.
Modern Warfare 2 =/= great game.

"lol"
Exactly!
Dear Mr. Natevberg,
If this is your idea of a game looking "great," I've got a Sega Genesis for sale. Hardly used.
I mean, honestly, it doesn't look like crap. But nothing worth jumping on youtube and posting comments with 4 exclamation points about. It looks about as bad as expected from the screenshots. Square people shooting guns. I guess if there was a Lego Modern Warfare, this would be what it looked like.
Either way, natevberg seems pretty excited to play it, and that's all that really matters. Enjoy that.

Lego Modern Warfare would (Lego Rock Band debacle ignored for the moment) probably have been a whole lot of fun. I mean, if they got the gameplay down right it doesn't matter what the graphics look like. To me, headshots on lego characters would be really funny, and fit right in with more mainstream gamers as well.

Actually, I guess a Lego Modern Warfare WOULD be pretty sweet. To see little Lego people blow up when you grenade them. Little plastic arms, legs, and torsos littered across the ground. I'd play that.
And don't dis Lego Rock Band. It's actually pretty good. I bought it for my daughter, and ended up playing it for a couple hours after I put her to bed.

Doubt it, I made a comment last week on a "MW2 sucks" video saying "Fuck you, MW2 is epic." and I got raped up the butt with messages.

Personally I think they should have placed the word 'Gag' in between 'Duty' and 'Reflex'

If this was an iPhone game the guy would have struggled to hit the first 2 targets, then given up and exited the game followed by going back to his fart apps.

Infinity Ward can't be bothered with Wii. Treyarch had to do the port. They probably would have done it last year, but they were simul-porting World at War instead.
Given W@Wii sales were pretty good, maybe it won't take so long to port MW2.

Listen Wii fans; you guys have a lot of ammo in defense of your system. You want to argue that it's "all about gameplay?" Fine. You want to tell us that Nintendo still holds true to classic gaming? Awesome. But we have you on the graphics area. No matter how good it looks on the Wii, it can never get passed the "ok" stage in comparison to the other consoles. We've got you. Let it go.

Honestly, the gameplay isn't really ever "better" either. It's different, sure, but... better?

Yeah, I've still yet to play a game on the Wii (except Wii Sports and maybe Boom Blox) where I wouldn't rather have had dual analogs instead. It's funny that most of the best games on there have pretty much eschewed the motion controls (Galaxy, Smash Bros.) altogether.

Regardless of your stance on motion controls vs. no motion controls, the era of the dual analog stick was the start of the downfall of the industry, saved partially by Wii's all approach method in 2006.
Dual analog set ups have push more ppl away from gaming than any one other factor in the industry in my experience. It's created a really strong uber core base following, and little else around and outside of it. Thankfully next gen that will be changing greatly with all 3 consoles.

Muramasa was gorgeous, but are still simplistic. Are you trying to compare Muramasa's stylized art work to a game like Uncharted 2? Totally different categories here. Also, Muramasa doesn't look that much better than Odin's Sphere on the PS2. I'm sorry, did you have a point?

Other than fans of The Conduit, I never heard much people praising the Wii's graphics.
Sure, people claimed that Super Mario Galaxy and were the best in graphics, but it was never said as a defense of graphics: It was an attack on bad graphics on the Wii.
However, saying "it can never get passed the 'ok' stage" is a bit much. I'm sure the Wii can hit the 'ok' stages if they tried hard enough (it would have limitations, obviously). ...I would say "the Wii cannot hit the good-great stages of other consoles", that I would more likely agree with.
