There will likely still only be an average of 1,000 people or so online at peak times. Not worth it for me. I hated not being able to play anything other than standard team death match on blops2.

BO2 hit over 4000 peak last December, and even now can reach 2500 some nights. Still very very low, but no need for you to exaggerate and discourage potential buyers.

Also I've never not been able to at least get a match in:

TDM
HCTDM
KC
Dom
FFA

Other than those, yes, it can be quite difficult or impossible.

 

[Exile20]

Already preordered and waiting.

It was a pleasure playing BO2 on the gamepad.

5 player local.

 

[KingSnake]

It's a joke, relax man

I thought your threads fulfill that role already.

Spoiler

couldn't help it /jk

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

I'll probably get it!

Hope the community is better :/

 

[cafemomo]

I have a friend who is buying Ghost and a Wii U because of the Gamepad off screen play

Makes me wonder why Nintendo won't do a Ghost bundle

 

[Haunted]

I thought your threads fulfill that role already.

daaaaaamn

 

[chazmonkey]

I might.

Off screen play was pretty great for Black Ops 2 with a couple buddies over.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

I'm actually going to get this one, I think. The alien mode looks neat!

 

[MDSLKTR]

That doesn't exclude it from being trolling.

Would it be better to you if he said 500ppl max?

 

[Logash]

Thinking about getting a Wii U in December but I will probably only get Mario 3D world for it.

 

[Polioliolio]

If I had a Wii U, and a son, and Call of Duty wasn't a game about war and shooting other people, I'd buy him the Wii U version.

 

[Spiderduff]

I think a while back we were talking about a GAF COD clan. I still think it would be fun since its looking like the Wii U version won't have a huge number of player, at least we will always have someone to play with.

 

[prag16]

Would it be better to you if he said 500ppl max?

No. And this post by you is even worse than his. As somebody said, when it comes to the Wii U, EVERYBODY is a comedian...

 

[Hip Hop]

Sure' I'll grab it. Really enjoyed Blops 2 back when I had my Wii U.

I'm in the market for a used Wii U right now, so I'll grab the game when it's cheaper.


Will be playing on PC.

And yes, Off-TV feature is godly.

 

[Possum]

I'll be purchasing a Wii U specifically for COD Ghosts.

 

[Waylon Drums]

I loved the online play in BO2 on Wii U so I'll definitely get Ghosts at some point. I don't know what other obscure modes people here were trying to play, but I could always get into a Kill Confirmed game...or a big Ground War game...or that mode where you defuse the two bombs...or Hardpoint those two times I tried it, at least.

Maybe I was lucky?

 

[Berg]

Would it be better to you if he said 500ppl max?

that kotaku article really stuck with you huh?
...a lot more people bought the game after the first day it was available...

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

I am actually interested in picking up Blops II for cheap on the U just to see how it plays. Did it get all of the DLC?

I thought your threads fulfill that role already.

Spoiler

Wonderful. Shouldn't have added the jk.

 

[Herne]

I would since my friends aren't getting it for their pc's, but I don't play fps games on consoles.

 

[Zarovitch]

I willl buy

 

[Waylon Drums]

If I had a Wii U, and a son, and Call of Duty wasn't a game about war and shooting other people, I'd buy him the Wii U version.

And if grandma had balls, she'd be grandpa. What ifs are fun!

 

[Bullza2o]

If I were still interested in COD I'd get it for Wii U. There's no other choice for me, and I don't want to pay for XBL Gold.

Because
1. Not many wiiu users bought cod blops2 so nintendo thinks not many will buy ghosts
2. Nintendo wants that "kids friendly" image.

 

[Waylon Drums]

It got 0 DLC and I'm pretty sure it was passed over for a few patches, as well. I had vowed not to buy another CoD game after they shat out BO2 and left it to die but I'm a typical gamer with the memory of a goldfish so I'm just gonna buy Ghosts and hope for the best.

 

[MaximusPayne]

getting a ps4 at launch, still buying this on WiiU.

 

[Robin64]

720p or 1080p? People must know!

 

[KingSnake]

Shouldn't have added the jk.

He seems to be a nice guy, despite everything.

 

[Jethro]

Nope. Looks shit

Quality posting.

I think I will get it like almost all the other Treyarch CoD's. Pointer Controls are the best and unfortunately it's the only Egoshooter on the system. The lack of infos about the Wii U Version this time is even more than in the last years...

 

[FreedomFighter]

I just want to know if it runs as well as the XBone version. Hopefully it'll be native 720p and 60fps at the least.

[Snookie]

Hopefully it gets DLC support unlike BO2.

 

[hoserx]

Yep. If I wanted to have the version with the highest visual fidelity, I'd get it for the PC. I want the Wii U version because of a few reasons, all of them mentioned by other fine members of NeoGAF throughout this thread. Two player local multiplayer without having to split the screen is fantastic, and great fun for a buddy of mine and myself regularly.

 

[Mr.LightMan]

I'll be buying the game day one. BO2 is still a lot of fun and the friends said they were getting it.

 

[Castcoder]

Activision found a Wii U version profitable? There's a Wii U version???

 

[BlockheadBrown]

I likely will.

 

[Kazerei]

I'm not dead set on buying COD Ghosts, but if I do, I'll buy the Wii U version. Off TV play is great, and I don't care that much about online multi, and Blops 2 was a solid port.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

This will still have Wiimote and nunchuck support, right? I'm not the biggest fan of CoD, but playing FPS with the Wiimote is incredibly fun.

 

[The_Joker1721]

I hate myself just a bit for pre ordering the game as BLOPS2 didn't have any DLC but ya know... Who knows?

Spoiler

:-(

By the way GAF bros. add my NN ID so we can play sometime. The_Joker1721

 

[trixx]

my brother will be you can play with him

5 player local would be a great addition

 

[IsntChrisL]

Yeah, I'll get it for the Wii U if I get it at all. BLOPS 2 was done very well and Treyarch is handling the Wii U version, so I'm sure it'll be good.

 

[Piers]

Considering it for my sister, though she and her bf are confident that the amount of people online will be a genuine problem.

 

[civilstrife]

I get the sick sense that this will be the last COD title on a Nintendo console for a long while.

 

[dark_prinny]

Not this time. I got BLOPS 2 last year. But this time I'm getting it for PS4.

 

[popeutlal]

FYI, Wii U version doesn't get the free pre order map.

 

[69wpm]

Modern Warfare was fun on the Wii. I'm waiting on impressions and videos though, not risking getting some crappy port or castrated version with no dlc and other stuff.

 

[Prevolition]

Yep. As far as I'm concerned it's the best version with the Gamepad and pointer controls. BLOP2 is fantastic on Wii U.

 

[braves01]

I'll get it if A.) it reviews fairly well; and B.) I can find it for $45 or less.

 

[BigDaddyFatSack]

Came in here for a joke thread. Leaving disappointed.

To answer, I'm not. Pretty much bought the Wii U for the Nintendo games really.

 

[AzaK]

If I get it it will be for Wii U.

 

[MDSLKTR]

No. And this post by you is even worse than his. As somebody said, when it comes to the Wii U, EVERYBODY is a comedian...

"Once you realize what a joke the wii u is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense"
