World at War Wii will not have online co-op

Destructoid writes: "In a sudden turn of events that have shocked the games industry, Treyarch has confirmed that Call of Duty: World at War for the Wii will not have an online cooperative mode. Recently, WiiHD had a chance to speak with a Treyarch representative about the matter. The reason for the exclusion of the larger mode is massively surprising. Apparently, the Wii cannot sustain the World at War engine with that many people on-screen at the same time. This is what Treyarch had to officially say:

'We are proud to bring what we believe will be the best-looking Wii game this fall to the community, but that comes with technical trade-offs. The difference between competitive MP and co-op is non-trivial. Think of a size of an MP level, then compare that to an SP level. Then consider all the AI code, level scripting, and endless other content in a SP / co-op environment that is just too much for the Wii to sustain with our engine.'

This is incredibly unfortunate news that I'm sure most Wii owners were not aware of. The Wii, and its vast technological prowess, cannot handle online cooperative play. At the very least, World at War owners won't have to worry about collecting friend codes anymore."

The majority of people who are gonna buy COD5 have 360's ps3's and pc's. Anyway treyarch sabotaged themselves anyway by making it for every console its just stupid. Instead of being able to optimize the game engine wiht COD4 was achieving COD5 is being downgraded partly to run on wii! Lol at their this is going to be the best looking wii game of 2008

OMGLOLZ5732d ago

The Wii has the best online system!!!1 Treyarch just sucks, OMG!

Well, he definitely got his money’s worth.

Abnor_Mal288d ago

Same as Shirley Curry playing Skyrim for years. In the next Elders Scrolls game they should have her in the game as some form of npc.

andy85288d ago

She is, I read she will be a character. Not a dig in any form but I hope she's alive when it releases

Relientk77288d ago

That's over 7,000 hours geez. What crazy stats

nitus10288d ago

Actually it is very easy to up the number of hours you have been playing a game. Basically all you need to do (assuming you have a PS4 or 5) is to place the console into stand-by without exiting the game, so if you do this a one hour gameplay actually becomes a 24 gameplay or longer.

boing1288d ago

What? So the game is still runinng when you put it to sleep? What?

EvertonFC288d ago

It's actually sad not an achievement but hey we need the full story details.

Knushwood Butt288d ago

There's someone on my friend list that has more than 6200 hours on Uncharted 4.

vTuro24287d ago

7k hours over 15 years isn't that crazy. The fact that he's been playing the same game for 15 years is more impressive.

And then you got people that want to finish a game every week.

Rhythmattic287d ago

Nailed what is the Spectrum... For good and bad, Quality or Quantity..Or the unreasonable to reason for. ;)

jznrpg288d ago

Of course you will hit a ridiculous stat after 15 of anything.
My main character for Everquest had over 500 days played in the first 6 years of the game. I was young then and had a lot of time on my hands. I don’t think I could duplicate that again until I retire and not sure I could match it if I tried.

EvertonFC288d ago

500 days in 6 years is nothing lol, you do realise how many days in a year right ?

poppatron288d ago

I might be getting the maths wrong here, I think 500 days in 6 years works out at an average of just over 6 hours every single day. For 6 years. That’s pretty serious

EvertonFC288d ago

Edit: wrote this early this morning, I understand it's lots of hours now lol at myself 😂🤣😜

RedDevils288d ago

The only way to achieve this, is by having no life outside of video game lol.

Outlawzz288d ago

Strange choice of game but hey that's some devotion. Congrats to them!
