Maybe they want to support several options and let each player decide for him/herself?
I certainly hope so, at least. Analog stick are archaic for aiming and the only way I will consider the game is if it has Wiimote support.

They seriously need to let 2 people go online together using a pro controller and the Wii-U gamepad... that would be bad-ass.
Remember, the gamepad has IR too - Its possible to have IR aiming using the gamepad.

In multiplayer, it is very helpful to have the HUD on screen in your FOV. Just give it Wiimote option.
Is there an IR camera on the GamePad? I thought all aiming they've shown was handled by the gyrometer, which is not an adequate substitute. Regardless, aiming the GamePad is likely not as natural as aiming the Wiimote.
Did you read the actual quote or just the title?
The whole thing, why?
Yup that's what the masses want. Local multiplayer with cod. LOL

The core isn't exactly a hivemind... COD is too popular to represent any single sect, it's popular because its fun. There's no reason Activision couldn't make COD an attractive proposition on Wii-U.

maybe the people that bough the call of Duty games on the Wii. Even those aren't that stellar compared to the sales on the other two consoles. The problem is that people already have developed friendbases on the other consoles. They even have things like clans and all of their level ups. The levelups are the most appealing part of CoD and I doubt most people want to leave all of their rankings behind.
I don't see why it wouldn't be better than the 360/PS3 version. A slight boost in graphics, the gamepad screen for extra info, and online built into the miiverse. It could very well be the 'preferred' version.

Because as far as we know Nintendo is more concerned about local multiplayer than online which is critical to COD. Until we see what their plan is there is no reason to think a Nintendo version would be better

Welcome to the current generation Nintendo. Ever hear of friend's lists? Yeah, a lot of gamers will buy the version of CoD that their friends are playing, and no they're not going to ignore them for your pad. Besides, do I even want to be looking down on a second screen in the heat of a battle?!

Oh wow.
So first they confirm that friend codes will still exist on the U. Then they admit outright that they can't and won't try to catch up with XBL and PSN. And now this? Good god, how out of touch can you be?

You do realize the COD series (at least now) is mainly about the online component right? Who in their right mind (unless WiiU is their only option) will play the game on the system that have no such install base in the first place? XBL and PSN already have the user base locked down and also will most probably offer a cheaper alternative to WiiU for first time buyers as well.
As for Graphics, this is COD we are talking about. They won't be that impressive no matter what the system, unless of course you think Activsion will actually spend a considerable amount of time and money on improved graphics for the WiiU (not gonna happen. It will be a port)

If the game doesn't support pointer controls, then people are going to need to get 3 classic controllers to play this game. Plus there will be games that will require only Wiimotes. To get the complete Wii U experience you're going to need a crap ton of controllers.

What if Black Ops II gets Wii U exclusive DLC.
Like a mission where you have to save a young Shigeru Miyamoto, as Nintendo HQ is under attack by terrorists wanting to steal his schematics for Donkey Kong and re-engineer it to brainwash the masses.
I think it'd be good.

- Friend codes don't exist in their current form and you don't need to enter them to add other users. If anything this is a good thing, as it means you can keep your friendships, but change your name whenever you want.
- They didn't say that they wouldn't try to catch up with XBL and PSN, implying that they wouldn't try to offer something better... they intend to offer something different, and they hope better, without simply trying to copy everything that the other guys do.
- Try harder
Yup. It's a tragic waste of space on the NeoGAF user database
Uh, but not in the way you're thinking. They said friend codes don't exist in the same form as the Wii/DS/3DS. We're getting an account system.
Actually, I might be wrong but didn't they say they were gonna try a different approach?
If you're referring to me, I thought the definition from before would've been enough for you to understand what I was talking about.
If you really read what he said and understood the words, you would have realized that it's not a crazy statement at all. It is pretty unsubstantial and vague, but that's PR.
I wonder what percentage of PS3 owners really care about their friendlist to the point they could not consider to play on another console. I'd be generous with 20%. On x360, I'd say up to 50%.
Wii U should of course try to win over PS3 and x360 gamers. Not the most dedicated fans of these brands, but the others.

"Increase your immersion by forcing you to look away from the TV!"
I don't see anyone else in disbelief about something simple as 'I did read' in this thread, so yes, I was referring to you
Not sure which part of the PR you are holding on to carry on with this vague statements, but my guess would be it's on the use of the word 'some'
There will be some who think Ninja Gaiden 3 is the best in the series. There will be some who think octopus flavored ice cream is better than chocolate. But if you think this PR is referring to such a minority, then you are flat out wrong.
But by all means, without the short vague responses, back up your claim if I am wrong here

They should cut a deal with Square-Enix to get FFvsXIII on Wii U and offer to publish it.
It might come out before 2020!
On a similar note, Nintendo's PR lately has been sporadic and without focus.
Anyone that wanted to play CoD this gen, did. Core Wii owners either played CoD on the Wii or on any other platform, why would CoD on the Wii-U appeal to core gamers more than before?
Unless what that Nintendo PR guy meant to say is the new CoD on the Wii-U will be more similar to the Xbox 360/PS3/PC versions, which I guess would be more appealing than what was on Wii before.
