Yesterday we told you that a few retailers are taking preorders for Modern Warfare 2 on Wii. Above you can see just one of the promo sleeves that are being used on display cases in stores. Obviously it's not made by anyone involved with the game, but many a retailer believes the game is heading the Wii's way.

This game isn't coming to Wii and I'm glad. One less crappy port. The game wouldn't work well on Wii anyways. (I'm not talking about controls)

I think we are in our own WaW boat here, with a few others...I think WaW is an absolutely great FPS on the Wii and is in the same category as The Conduit...yes, I own both games and feel 100% comfortable making that comment.

I just don't see why they wouldn't put a Wii game out. Why not try to build an audience for your games? I assume the first one was profitable enough to warrant another entry...

You now know there is a potential market, so start trying to cultivate it. It may not be the 'easy' thing to do, but it might be one of the smartest things you do.

WaW was brilliant, anybody who names it a crap port either hasn't played it, hates FPS's or can't stand the lack of modes. Based on its own meris and not compared to the 360/PS3 builds of the game, WaW is fantastic and still holds its own against the other versions even without the extra modes etc., IMO. I'd love for MW2 to come to the Wii, and really with this I'm getting my hopes up. I know it's incredibly easy to make them but why would the retailer make Wii sleeves if they weren't convinced it's not coming out?

i think activision is doing this on purpose to see how many people pre-order it, but i dont even know why, they know that WAW wii sold more than 1 million copies.

Shovelware will eventually find its way on the Wii, so I have no doubt Modern Warfare 2 will probably be released on the Wii.

If it's real, there's no way it'll be anything less than awful. There's no reason to keep it quiet at this point.

PLEASE LET IT BE REAL! I want MW 2 with motion controls!!!!!!!! For all the haters, WAW was not a bad game at all. Its one of my favorite FPS' besides the Conduit. The only problem it had was it didnt have a lot of modes. They could definitly fix that for MW2.

It says Infinity Ward, and not another developer. I don't think they'd be the ones who did it. Its a mock up job by the retailer, who is possibly assuming there is a Wii version. Don't get your hopes up.

@ArakniD

We knew about WaW Wii's existence long before now.
There's no reason to keep MW2 quiet like this still unless, like the rumored Brutal Legend Wii port, it's lagging behind in development and isn't going well.

IW sets an image for what they want the game to be like. And they don't want to see it tarnished. I strongly agree. If you want this, get an Xbox360, PS3, or strong computer.

Holds its own? I'm going to have to disagree; its only real merit was its controls, and a good control scheme isn't quite enough to make up for more than half of the multiplayer modes and some of the maps missing, no Nazi Zombies, matchmaking being a mess, laaaaaaaag, lack of a decent online infrastructure, the less than inspiring visuals, removal of co-op, or entire campaign missions missing. Of course, this is IMO also. I just can't see how a game that's so gimped could possibly hold its own. It's a pretty bad port.

I'll support a Modern Warfare 2 Wii port if it keeps the multiplayer modes (all of them!). I understand the online may not be as robust (no party system or LAN or what have you) but the control system could easily make up for small caveats like those. Just give us something that isn't a pathetic port and I'm onboard.

Hehe, a multiplatform game when hits the Wii gets "tarnished", that´s respect.

I agree with those saying W@W was a great effort for the Wii. I'm hoping MW2 comes to the Wii as well. And to the people b**** about how it's a bad port. I think over a million copies sold, kind of proves you wrong. Who cares if it's missing somethings. It's still a great game with great online, why can't you just let people be happy? Seriously...

I only have a Wii, a bad port from a great game makes a good game and that´s fine by me.

I think Modern Warfare 2 on Wii could be a great game if it's being made. W@W was a good start, a very solid effort. Now if they just polished up the visuals and build on the online mode to allow more players, I think they could make a great game. It could even be the definitive FPS experience for the Wii.

W@W sold very well on the system, so why not?

I hope it does come to the Wii and that Infinity Ward are working on it because the Wii needs that kind of support.

@asparrowgoose

...what?

It IS a crap port compared to the other versions, that's not even an opinion but common sense. And how in the hell would you know it "holds" its own compared to the other version, despite being being a lazy port with half the modes? Because you haven't even played the other version, that's why.

@redhatdrawler

WaW on the Wii sold a million copies because...what other online FPS was someone going to buy besides WaW, that PSP port? lol. Almost any game will sell a lot when it's one of the only options you have available.

PLEASE Activision.. Release MW2 on the Wii!!! You'd be stupid not too.. WaW for the Wii sold +1 Million copies!

I already know MW2 may not have as many modes and DLC as the PS3/360/PC counterparts.. But I will support Activision every step of the way if they seriously consider releasing it to the Wii.

and if Wiispeak comes out for the game.. That would be great! )(:

Please guys.. if you liked WaW Wii, support Activision in getting this game released for the Wii. Go to your local gaming store and ask if preorders are available and put 5 bucks down!

If you don't want to buy this game.. You can always get your 5 bucks back.

So what if you guys think it's ok for the game to be lower than the developer's planned. But it's not that way for Infinity Ward. They work forever on a final project. They don't want to see their results lowered because they think they can sell a million copies on another console. They're like Valve, Bioware, Bethesda, ect. Quality before quantity.

Don't worry. Treyarch are making CoD7. That'll probably come out on Wii also.
