Have you been wondering why it's taken so long to get screenshots and footage of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare -- Reflex Edition? Well, it may very well be because of a spat between Treyarch and Infinity Ward.
Infinity Ward is the creator of the original Modern Warfare, but Treyarch is the team behind the Wii version, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare -- Reflex Edition. As we know from yesterday's IW quote, their team doesn't really see the Wii as being able to handle the cinematic experience of Modern Warfare 2, so you would think the same of the original title. This could have very well lead to some problems with Treyarch, since they did the Wii port.
Now we hear that that Treyarch wasn't allow to add an intro movie for their own logo. It's all Activision and Infinity Ward, as seen above. Sounds like things are pretty bad between the two dev houses. Thanks to Temp for the heads up.

VERY unprofessional.
Ideally, MW: Reflex's reputation goes dead in the water, tanks at market, and leads to no more Wii ports, as the system "can't handle the cinematic experience."
Dirty pool, IW. Dirty, dirty pool.
F.A.G.S. controversy (combined with "we should do our own marketing" bonus)
Crippling the PC version
Being HD fanboys
And now they can't even let Treyarch attempt to make a decent game?
Congrats, IW. Cocks of the year.
ALL this because Treyarch showed them that their precious CoD can work well on the Wii and look good as well.
Asses.
as for MW2, pirating it all the way for pc. i just want it for the single player game. if i want a compeling online shooter, WaW, The Conduit, Combat Arms and maybe reflex will keep me occupied
Shove it, IW!
I'm tempted, I hate pirating, but I do not own an HD console, and the PC version is horribly limited online.
Treyarch, good job.

Let them know you care.
Activision is the publisher--blame it on them. They have two development teams taking turns on the same franchise. A rival spat is inevitable. Activision controls the rights over Call of Duty, so it doesn't matter how IW or Treyarch wants things handled--Activision has the final say so over the release of media concerning Call of Duty.
This 'spat' is only a rumor, however the lack of Wii footage on this game is due to Activsion. Maybe they don't want to diminish the reputation of the franchise by showcasing the 'inferior' Wii port of a 2 year old game. However, this is their game and they shouldn't leave it out to fail.
IW and Activision wouldn't fun a game then intentionally try to ruin it's sales, that's really stupid business. Activision wants to make money, and if CoD games sell on the Wii they don't care the quality.
More likely the companies just have zero faith in Treyarch and the abilities of the Wii.
When Tryarch made a game that is probably pretty good (still no 360 or PS3 version) they want to take claim for it.
Infinity Ward doesn't think the Wii can handle Modern Warfare, but when Treyarch proves that it CAN, in fact handle it just fine, IW wants all the credit because it's just a port of "THEIR" game.
And to the guy above, if Activision had "Zero Faith" in Treyarch or the Wii, then they wouldn't have bothered LETTING them make ports of World at War OR Modern Warfare in the first place, now would they? Activision has all the faith in the WORLD in the Nintendo Wii. Wanna know why? Because with few exceptions, their games like Guitar Hero etc. sell VERY well, if not the BEST on Wii.
As for them not caring about the quality, please. World at War was (according to reviews) one of the best looking and playing 3rd party Wii games. This looks to be the same. The quality looks just fine to me.
I'm tempted to buy the game just to support them. Treyarch was the publisher to Die by the Sword... man, I loved, LOVED that game.
EDIT: scratch that, they DEVELOPED it. I wish they would bring back the VSIM system... on the Wii.
Devs are all lazy on the Wii because they are kissing the butts of the HD TWINS...worshipping their superior processing, 1080p visuals and polygon pushing power.
I don't think they are going to like being proved wrong one bit.
Modern Warfare 2 i think can not only run on the Wii it would most likely outdo REFLEX here.
You see people need to understand somthing, the Wii can't do what devs will never try...or plain and simply...DO THE WORK to get it done.
After that statrment people will really believe the Wii can't handle that game ...because w/e devs say is golden right?
It can't be possibly they are HD biased and simlpy DO NOT WANT TO make the effort to do what it takes to make a Wii engine to make the compramises to make it run on the Wii.
This goes for not only them but alot of devs in the industry I'm sure of it.
Just look at the state of the CORE Wii market 3 years in.
IW:
NO, YOU CANT RELEASE THE GAME ON WII, YOU JUST CANT
THEY CANT KNOW THAT CINEMATIC IS POSSIBLE
ITS JUST NOT NOT NOT FAIR!
*stomps around little little b*tches for the next few hours, ultimately falling asleep, thumb in mouth in their mommy's lap*
its like the manbearpig episode of southpark, "but im serial!" and then he starts crying and crap
@BigLord
plus dude, comon, spiderman 2
i lol'ed
im not saying its not wrong, im just saying, IW are just too big of douches for it to not be right.
i seem to be going chaotic good here, nooo!!!!
...they've been doing a great job of coming off like a****** in the last few weeks.
that said, this port still looks like total garbage and shouldn't have ever happened. I hope those of you defending Treyarch and the Wii being capable of cinematic experiences are bearing this in mind...
...are you serious? sounds like IW took possessed you to make that last comment
