More Details On Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

As we reported a few days ago, the first Modern Warfare game will be coming to Wii this November. In a discussion with Kotaku at GamesCom in Cologne, Germany Executive Producer Daniel Suarez revealed some of the details concerning the multiplayer options. The first piece of news was that the Squadmate mode from Call of Duty: World at War would be returning. This mode, if you don’t know, is similar to the two player option in Super Mario Galaxy where one player controls the main action and another player will control a reticule on screen that can be used to shoot enemies, collect ammo and such. The only time this won’t be available is when a player is zoomed in for sniper shots or when using mounted weapons. The second player also has the ability to drop in and out at any time during the campaign without disrupting the flow of the action.

Online multiplayer will also be available, though the limit of players has been dropped to ten. All the multiplayer modes from the original game will be available, the same experience, upgrades and rankings. Nothing has been taken out according to Mr. Suarez. They’ve also integrated host migration so that if the original host of the game leaves the game will continue with another player as host. Also, for haters of friend codes, you’ll be able to import your friends list from your Wii system, see if they’re online and invite them to play, without having to enter friend codes.

They’ve also noticed how much Wii owners really enjoy being able to customize their controls to fit their play style so they’ve implemented many of the features that were found in the recent title The Conduit. They’ve given players the same tools for customization as the developers so you’ll be able to tailor the control method to they way you want it to be.

All in all it’s looking like Treyarch is taking the development of this game to heart and giving Wii owners what they want. Some of the visuals have had to be downscaled, but everything else you would expect from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is there.
