I think they are fine. The reticules and red dot sights seem particularly sharp.
However, the color pallate is a little muddy or same-y (lots of dark and grey) that can sometimes make it hard to spot other players.
Really looking forward to Wii U but would love it if I could use Wiimote + nunchuck to play BLOPS 2 or whatever.

The graphics are objectively better than previous CODs (scale and model texture-wise). However, the contrast is turned all the way up making some dark environments unnecessarily difficult to navigate. This high contrast, however, gives the game a distinct look that differentiates it from BLOPs and previous Wii CODs.
Multiplayer is different but good. The tempo is faster than BLOPS for sure and although there appears to be more customization, it feels somewhat restrictive compared to BLOPs. Co-op is also different. It's survival mode only with lots of maps unlike BLOPs, however, the gameplay itself is less interesting.
Was just playing earlier today (like 13k online). Alternated between team deathmatch, kill confirmed and spec-ops..and nothing "bad" per se.
Though, I'm more of an offline guy; been having some fun offline and in Spec-Ops. Just crouch in a corner and kill all the incoming enemies..even helicopters with a machine gun. XD

Ive never encountered with the exploit. but in theory it only consist in shooting in the floor as crazy and bam, al the other team is killed. again i didnt read it completely but its annoying for many
Again... never happened to me
I think this might have been an issue from early on because there has been ongoing complaints about a bug where people occasionally get hurt with no one firing at them. Maybe someone finally managed to discover why it happens.

This game was such a mess in the beginning. After patches it has been very good. Even though I was in one hacked match where screen was littered with fonts and website name nothing major has happened since. There is more places to camp in this game which I hate but somehow there are less sniper in this game than blops. Overall I have stopped playing blops now. I do think some guns are over powered though and progress system was little bit better in blops.

I think I know what you're talking about. I've encountered this twice, and was once on the coder's side. Basically, the match started and then this guy on my team started firing at me, so jokingly I shot back at him. When this happened, the entire enemy team died within seconds and I was getting credited for their deaths.
Another time I joined a room and two guys had scrolling rainbow colored text with YouTube links and flashing neon hacker names. The enemies (2 of 'em) had 180+ kills before the round halfway ended, so I didn't join in and spectated instead. When I left, all of my gun classes had changed name from "CLASS 1" or whatever to a hacker's YT link...
lol

that is exactly what happened to me. All my class name changed. That was so unreal lol. The whole time in that match I was thinking wtf wtf. Also gravity was also changed somehow so It was like everyone was moon walking. So awesome because many people forgot to shoot haah.

Haha. I've seen moonwalking once, but crazy enough only the enemy team could pull it off. My team started the round with 0 ammo, so our weapons were perpetually reloading on their own and we couldn't do anything. Also, I've run into invincible players. This guy was once 60+ kills/0 deaths and nuked us and everything before the game crashed because he had more air support (looked like the sky was filled with choppers lol) than the game could handle.
So I just ran across this on Go Nintendo:

Guess there's a patch coming next month then.
Haven't played for a while, my friend dragged me onto the 360 version and I've begun to quite like it after unlocking some decent weapons. I still intend to play some Wii version, but there's so many games I need to play -_-. Anyway, here's hoping they patch some other issues along with this game-ruining glitch.
EDIT: As far as I know, the glitch is dead thanks to a speedy hotfix by Treyarch

How do you even figure that out!?

I bought Black Ops Wii late last year, after having already purchased Modern Warfare 3 Wii and having owned Black Ops PC since release. Black Ops Wii has clicked with me in a way that the PC version never did, and more importantly, I find it more enjoyable to play than Modern Warfare 3 Wii.
Having checked around a bit, it seems the big three on-line shooters on Wii are generally considered to be Black Ops, Conduit 2 and Goldeneye. I can confirm that I play all three more than I do Modern Warfare 3. Perhaps it's because I find those three games more fun to play, find their upgrade trees more engaging, and just love the heck out of their maps. Or perhaps it's because Modern Warfare 3 is ugly to look at, most of the maps don't accomodate varied play styles, and the upgrade tree is fundamentally broken, with many of the handiest weapons being unlocked very early, making the extra effort to unlock better weapons unnecessary. We could also mention Modern Warfare 3's on-line performance. It's been improved since launch but still doesn't measure up to the aforementioned "big 3".
In the end it's all obviously a subjective process we're engaging in here. I've never been a Halo fan but some people love it. I also believe the last good Call of Duty single-player campaign was Call of Duty 3. And I was playing Modern Warfare: Mobilised on-line yesterday, and the map designs in a DS game shouldn't be comparable to those in Modern Warfare 3 on consoles. (n-Space really worked some magic there. I wish Nintendo would buy them already and get them working on a Wii U-exclusive shooter series to take on Call of Duty.)
Having said all that, Kill Confirmed is genius, and almost makes me forget that the rest of the game is so mediocre.
Graphics is better. Art is worse.
Multiplayer performance is still shaky, including the big issue with sometimes having to wait five to ten minutes to get into a match. Note, Black Ops, Conduit 2 and Goldeneye will drop you straight into a match almost immediately after logging in. And they all offer a more consistent on-line performance too.
From what I saw, the numbers peaked at around 15 000 between Christmas and New Year. That was the one and only time I've seen it beating Black Ops, which was also around 15 000, but with a few hundred less than Modern Warfare 3.
At the moment it seems Black Ops is back to around 18 000 and Modern Warfare 3 is around 12 000. In comparison, I also own the PC version of Black Ops and that has around 5 000 active players. Most of the dedicated servers have already been shut down and the remaining ones are mostly hosting Hardcore matches on top of having nearly unplayably high pings (for my location).
I reckon this is the perfect time for Treyarch and Activision to throw us Wii gamers a bone with some free Black Ops maps. That would likely see the game push beyond 20 000 and probably close to 25 000 active players.
Wow, that's unbelievable. I wonder how that glitch was discovered.

I actually prefer MW3 - I found the Black Ops maps to mostly be pretty boring. The ideal would be the MW Reflex maps (still the best in the series) with the BO performance.
As for the 'shoot the floor' glitch, I've experienced it a few times. Its annoying, but at least it should make Treyarch sort out some of the other lingering issues along with it, such as the glitch with the Outpost trucks.
I'm back to this after getting sucked into Xenoblade so feel free to add me my code's on the OP. I've never found anything weird be it hacks or glitchs... I think I've been pretty lucky overall. But I mostly play Domination and there's never more than 800 people playing that, lol.
I didn't try BLOPS on Wii after absolutely hating WaW.

If your'e enjoying/enjoyed MW3, give it a try. Since everything's similar in the sense of gameplay and what you do; yet different (different campaign, different multiplayer matches, and Zombies instead of Spec-Ops)... so it would be like an additional/new game to play instead of a substitute.
Will do if I find it cheap. But I dedicated a lot to BLOPS on PS3 with a friend, heh.
Yeah, I'm enjoying MW3 a lot. I can't go play as often now due to work with my friend with the PS3 so that's why I got this for the nights
The only thing I really miss is the killcam, lol. Also, I bought a classic controller for this, I can finally snipe properly
which is the only thing I can't seem to do with the wii mote (damn shaky hands!) , but other than that I like the wiimote and don't notice any advantage or disadvantage with using it, it's really well implemented and fun.HisshouBuraiKen

I do occasionally. It's still a fun game and aiming with the wiimote still rules, but with my new baby growing quickly I've got less time for it.
If the akimbo machine pistols were properly nerfed it will be a dramatic blow to noobs everywhere, which suits me just fine.

It's a really nice patch. Game just seems to feel a lot better. Also, anyone with hacks is locked out of public matches with the new patch.
Oh yeah, was just reading about that. Going to add that to the main post.

Huh, and I just got killed with a hack predator missile for the 1st time
Still playing here!
I wouldn't know as I started using the Type 95 after the patch but it's a beast. I'm guessing no, as I kill with it regularly with just one burst and that seems to be a main complaint.

I added you. I've been playing an unhealthy amount these past 2 weeks. >_> I suddenly became good without noticing and I've been trying to get my K
to 1 lolol. I'm at 0.91 from 0.7 heh.So I see the latest patch dealt with hackers. Is it still holding well now? Considering picking up the game again if I can find it cheap now that this has been taken care of. Might still have issues with the design IW has used but oh well. Rather get another FPS on the Wii at this point.
