Nintendo Wii version of Call of Duty 5: Multiplayer, co-op and zapper

Call of Duty 4 has taken over online gaming on the Sony PS3 and Xbox 360, but with the battle for high quality graphics between them two games systems, some people do not think much about the Nintendo Wii when it comes to COD. The Wii has more people playing it than any other games console and while its graphics are nowhere near as good as the Playstation 3 or Xbox 360, its gameplay is second to none.

Today we are hearing that the Nintendo Wii version of Call of Duty 5 will have multiplayer, co-op and zapper action. Any game can get boring quick as soon as you have completed the singer player game, for games to last you got to have multiplayer gaming for endless fun. These new features on the Wii version of COD 5 will create a lot more fun for your money.

Call of Duty: World at War will be brilliant, it could have been a modern combat game but WWII will still be very good and I am sure the graphics and gameplay will also take on a new lease of life. The Nintendo Wii will get a ported version of the Modern Warfare engine and the support for the Wii Zapper will give that arcade feel in your home.

The graphics on most Wii games might be just “OK” but we are hearing that the Wii’s COD5 will “look better than any Wii game”, according to Senior producer Noah Heller. He went on to say that World at War will be the best shooter that the Wii has ever seen and that it will be aiming for the name of “most next-gen Wii game ever”.

This has got to be good news for Wii owners that want that extra touch to graphics, but then if you are a Wii gamer you will know that graphics was never the reason you bought the console, its all about the gameplay and the Zapper, multiplayer and co-op will bring it.

First Call of Duty 5 trailer for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 & PC

Today we see the first ever Call of Duty 5 trailer for the Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3 and PC. This game trailer also confirms the recent news that the next version of the game will leave modern combat and go back to WWII, which has upset many Call of Duty fans. Being a gamer that has been playing COD 4 nearly everyday, I will be buying the next version of the game but it’s a real shame this franchise is moving back to World War II when we have so many other weapons to explore in the modern day.

The new Call of Duty 5: World at War trailer can be seen below this post, it does not show any gameplay at this early stage and its just a teaser to give you a taste of what’s to come in COD 5. The story looks like it could be a good one and a lot of thought must be going into this, but as all other COD gamers know, the online gameplay is going to have to equal COD 4 at least. This will be hard considering how popular the current version has become across Xbox Live and the Playstation Network.

So get your first look of the story coming in COD5 below and now that we know its going to be WWII, will you give the new developers the benefit of the doubt and wait to we see some gameplay or even a demo before making a decision on buying it? As a long term Call of Duty fan I will have to buy the game to give it a real chance and I am sure it will be much better than many other games I have bought, maybe just because it’s a franchise I love so much.

Let us know what you think of the new trailer and your World at War expectations?

Call of Duty 5: What era should it have been and your wish list?

Following on from the news we reported the other day about Call of Duty 5: moving back to the World War 2 era from the current modern day warfare we see in COD 4, we have not only heard from some gamers that are not happy with this but also from Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 gamers that are happy with this change.

What era would you have liked to see Call of Duty 5 in and are you happy it’s moving back to WWII?

With Activision’s COD 5 details being kept under raps until now, we now all know its going to be called “Call of Duty: World at War” and this followed a little tease saying it will be a “new military theater”. The battle for the Pacific during World War II will be fun, but I am not sure if it can achieve the success we have seen in the current game.

What would you like to see in the next version of Call of Duty and what features do you think the current version lacks that the next needs?

Personally, I want to see better online gaming connections so that when the host drops, the host role is passed to another player and not the game ended. If you play COD4 you will know how annoying this is. Improved chat would be good and also the environments need to be more destroyable. Let us know your wish list in the comments box below.
