idc about maps. I only care about playing.

I actually had the ability to pick this game up for the Wii for myself, and although the Wii is infamous for often creating poor rehashes of good games - well, least to say, I was pleasantly suprised

I haven't gotten around to playing it much, but I must comment that I like the realism of the Online Multiplayer. I'll put my friend code up on my profile later, if we have any trigger-happy Wii players out there

The graphics are good for the Wii, I agree. At least SOME console made graphical improvements with Black Ops. On X360 it looks like MW2. Exactly like it. On PS3 it looks worse (slightly, very slightly) for NO real reason, an attempt at subliminal marketing by the money-hungry golden god Activision. /grumble

Im going to put my Playstation network name up there soon, also!

Why does everyone care about graphics? I mean where I came from, my psp to be exact, we had no RC-XDs and UAVs. No, we had a little tiny area map and we had to go in and hunt them down. Onto the graphics... I mean, we had enough graphics to where you could see their face, and thats about it. I mean in most levels you could always see this giant blob of pixels. We didn't have blood and all these cool looking explosions. We had a puff of smoke and the a crack. That was a lethal Grenade. Even when we satchled a car or something it was a crack and a puff of smoke. Back to BO. I don't see what the difference graphics does to a game. I admit this is my first CoD game, but still, what is the difference? So what, this looks like MW2. I mean, would you want a cool looking game but bad story line? I don't know why I keep rambling on and on, but I guess my point is to always appreciate something, for when it is gone, it is gone for good...

Graphics don't define a game, but they do help to make it better. If I could get a copy of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with COD level graphics then I wouldn't hesitate to get it. Also the main reason we're complaining about BO's graphics, is because they've used the same engine since COD 4, and that was 4 COD games ago.

Honestly... graphics are cool and all, but if you have the most amazing graphics, it doesn't matter if the game stinks.

Having said that, CODBO could have been pretty amazing, had the developers cared about what the players wanted. Let's look at an example. Where's silver gun camo? Where's bronze camo? Where's glow in the dark(only you can see) camo? Hmm...? These are literally things I just came up with at the top of my head, and they're not in the game? Why? Don't tell me you wouldn't want such cool camo? Speaking for myself, I want silver camo over gold. What about at prestige 10? And bronze at 5?

I'm serious, we need more maps, cool areas to fight on, tons of more maps for zombies, etc... I love the game, don't get me wrong, but simple things like making guns look cooler and more maps is all it takes to keep me busy. Make prestiging worth something. What about being able to hold 30 more bullets once you reach prestige 15 for 200,000 coins? Sounds like a lot, but that's some goal to keep me busy.

I'm serious, keep us busy, keep the game fun, and I'll be happy. I want to see acid pits in the zombie areas to play with, and bombs that planes drop during certain rounds. I'm just saying, little things could make the replay value endless.

If you want all that, I have one word for ya Mate. Wii. Heck, we don't have all the Modes as other systems.

One Zombie map, No easter eggs, No customization (Other then Camo), and No Split Screen Multiplayer. Heck, we have less killstreaks on the Wii.

All they need to do to keep me into it. Give me what I payed 60.00 dollars for. THE WHOLE GAME.
BTW Mac, those ideas would be pretty cool.

The reason Wii doesn't have many features is because Activision just doesn't care as much about it than the 360 or the PS3. Also they know that less people buy it for Wii than 360 or PS3 so they limit them. Also Microsoft and Sony pay developers more for games to release content than Nintendo does.

No, it's because the Wii is less high-tech, and can't hold as much on a disk or run as much as the others. I believe Infinity Ward said, and I paraphrase: "We would like to make MW2 for the Wii, but it just doesn't have the power to fulfill our ambitions. And, if we can provide a better experience on it than other consoles, than we will gladly switch to it."

Wii gamers have to accept the fact that the Wii has inferior hardware, but makes up for it with family friendly, fun, and addictive games.

Except even Wii is becoming obsolete with their Family friendly gaming experience because of Xbox Kinect starting to take it's fanbase with the ability to play family friendly games without having to pick up a controller.

True, but Xbox + Kinect = $300, while Wii = $150 (I think). So, the Wii has one thing going for it. That's the only thing, I think.

Unless you already had an Xbox, which a lot of people did. So the price would only be $150.
