Activision -- or someone with some pull -- has sneakily changed the name of the Wii version of developer Infinity Ward’s
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare to
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex. The new name is a mouthful and a mystery. We haven’t the slightest idea why it was changed.
Earlier this morning,
CVG spotted the name change
in a press release announcing the plethora of videogames coming to the Wii this holiday season. Dated the 15th, the press release didn’t reveal anything we shouldn’t already know: Activision sent us images of the box art a few weeks prior to today with the new branding. We just plain didn’t catch the change.
GameStop.com has changed the name of the on its Web site, and a PR representative was kind enough to give us quadruple confirmation this afternoon when we asked if
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex was the new name. The representative didn’t comment, however, on why it changed.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex is still hitting on November 10th.

I, for one, welcome our new Wiifaring overlords.
So yeah, I've faith.
Yes, you are quite alone in that regard.
This game has NO WII SPEAK!
TEN PLAYERS ONLINE!
Jesus, Heroes 2 had 32, I think this game could handle 16, but Activision is lazy.
This game is two years old, is a port, and will be missing lots of stuff such as voice chat.
There is NO excuse at all for no voice chat.
Don't buy this game.
Yeah, I'll probably skip it.
I'm just gonna take this a step further and suggest that Activision be avoided altogether.
This game will be crap, just made for quick cash.
Skip this game, and whatever else Acty and trey decide to port.
Wait for it . . .
Bobby Kotick.
They started it.
The PLAYERS over hyped it, not the company.
Blame yourself if you think it didn't live up to your own standards. If that game didn't, then how the hell does WAW?
And if this game is based off of the online like you are saying, then why the hell isn't there wii speak compatibility? Oh yah...they are lazy bastards that just want quick cash.
GO ahead and waste your money on this game, we won't get MW 2 until the other consoles get MW3 anyway...
But of course, if WaW wasn't a rail shooter, this won't be as well. I suppose if you don't have a PC, an Xbox360 or a PS3, then you might want to pick this up. However, if you do have anything, ANYTHING else that can play COD4, then do so on that. Playing COD4 on the wii won't do the game justice. The Wii is a good system, but this game wasn't originally designed for it.
Hell, go to a friends house and play it on their system if necessary.
HVS is that company, The Conduit was great (hopefully you haven't thought other wise due to those retarded reviewers that are EVERY WHERE)
They will be bringing The Grinder and Gladiator A.D
All those games are original, wii exclusives with high quality.
Till the day I die, I will remember HVS as the company who saved the Wii.
Lol, someone Kayne this shit.
Btw cod 3 was teh shit ^.^!
Truth. It has been spoken.
That's a lame ass name change. I see why they did it but there coulda been a better change than that.
*rimshot*
The grenade joke shows you haven't actually played COD4.
You missed a colon in there.
Grenade of Grenade 4: Grenade Grenade: Grenade
The conduit sucked plain and simple. The graphics were okay in some places but most of it was atleast mid-PS2 graphics and in my opinion GT4 looks way better than the Conduit.
The online was so bad i couldn't stop laughing at the crappiest servers ever.
Sorry HVS but i ain't going near the ORIGINAL The Grinder.....oh wait....the grinder.....seems.....like they copied right from the book....Left4Dead. How orginal. Screw em.
But I guess that they are just going to make a new game combineing both MW games onto the wii, as colateral they are going to give up some multiplayer modes and well voise chat and limit it to 12 players online.
exspect no ctf, no zombies, no full campaines, and not the same plot as COD4
yep...this is not good
the conduit was much more fun in the single player mode, and I was never lost and it was chalanging. COD5 powns the conduit by two points on multiplayer cause you can unlock things, and kill streaks.
I would still recomend both games they are good to rent.
But treyarch will NEVER beat the Grinder. Never.
