The Servers for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare: Reflex Are Down

Activision Support responded to iConBoy, a youtuber who was prominent (and still is) in the wii community, and it seems they aren't sure what the problem is either. I'd say we'll know whether this was deliberate or just a technical problem rather soon.

Didn't know that there are Wii (and DS too?) games with the online servers still up. What other games still work?

I still ocassionally hop on Black Ops and MW3 on Wii even though I have both on 360 and played the death out of them on there

I liked playing black ops a lot. Didn't know it was still up...

What games on Wii still have functional online?

damn... i didn't know there was still servers for those games!! since 007GE went down a while back, i haven't even try to play online with wii games...

That's the problem with online games, particularly on consoles. Would be great if we were able to handle our own servers

Whoo...

I occasionally still play Black Ops on the Wii. Love the Wii Zapper!

Well, I'm not a Call of Duty fan, so I'm not bothered by this. BTW, is there no Call of Duty on the Wii U?

@Nintin-San not since Ghosts...

@ReshiramZekrom Black Ops and MW3 should still be up (WaW ran on Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection)

I believe all the DS games also ran on NWFC.

I had no idea these were still up! I never tried COD on the Wii due to always having a 360/ps3 which are far better for shooters! Still if anyone still plays these then hopefully the servers go back up!

@erv No idea, I was shocked to even see the CoD games were still going. NWFC going out definitely took out the vast majority though, I doubt there's very many games still running.

Good on Activision for keeping the servers running, if only Nintendo would have done the same for some of their Wii games, such as Mario Kart.

What?? I thought all online Wii games were stopped? damn! I did try them after the shutdown and they didn't work, so I thought it was all part of the same thing.

I might hop on 007 later. I wonder how the hacked leadernoards look.

@dizzy_boy pretty sure that game WAS pulled a while back dude! Hope I'm wrong so you can have a game

It's mad that they're still going all these years later when Nintendo shut their servers down years ago. Loved playing Black Ops on the Wii, it had the best FPS controls ever and spent hundreds of hours online. Played Blops 2 on the Wii U too but there was hardly anybody online. In fact there were more people playing online on the Wii than Wii U.

@DoctorOverbuild In what way were the PS3/360 far better for shooters - I thought Wii Remote was the control scheme of choice (once settings have been adjusted to suit). Control pad sucks for FPS.

Aaah, reminds me of the good old days... Loved playing this version since the controls worked really well for me.

@gcunit
I imagine it's because standard def sucks. The Wiimote is fun and all but still, standard def sucks.

I tried Wiimote for BO2 on Wii U but they turn too slow. Had to go back to analog.

@JaxonH You need to adjust the settings until they suit you. There's a tonne of options. The Wii remote is brilliant for FPS and I absolutely hate dual analogue now. It feels so archaic in comparison.

Would be nice if they would anounce stuff like this, imagine a die hard COD addict,.. it certainly hurts ^^

This no surprise really considering how old the game is but I really wish that there would have been some sort of way for Nintendo to switch games over to the Nintendo Network because of the fact that I can't enjoy the online features of games like Animal Crossing City Folk anymore, which is definitely a bummer. I can still play decade old 360 games online but Microsoft did always have a superior online infrastructure so I guess it is to be expected.

@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I tried all the sensitivity options. In fact I maxed out the sensitivity and it still was slow turning in Black Ops 2 for Wii U.

Try it for yourself and see. It's slow as dirt. Not nearly fast enough to be competitive. Aiming is superior, but turning kills it.

@gcunit @JaxonH Yeah like Jax said, standard sucks. I have no friends on the Wii who played COD and while the Wii remote is interesting, it's nowhere near as precise as anologue

@JaxonH I can only comment on Modern Warfare: Reflex, cos while I have Blops2 on Wii U, I've hardly played it yet (I actually bought Blops2 before I bought MW:R and my Zapper, so was ignorant of the potential and just using gamepad when I tried Blops2).

But in MW:R, the turning can be adjusted to suit, to the point where I'd expect most people using Wii Remote to prefer it over standard controls. I'll have to check it in Blops2 - would be disappointing if they hadn't applied the same range of options.

@DoctorOverbuild Sure, standard def sucks hard, but that applied to all Wii games, not just shooters, so I just assumed your comment was something control-based. No beef

I'm surprised people are still playing the Wii version, can't imagine there would be many people still playing but maybe I'm wrong.

I play wii u blops 2 couple times a week for my death match fix, I never have to wait usually. 20 to 30 matches. Mostly team dm

@DoctorOverbuild "(...) while the Wii remote is interesting, it's nowhere near as precise as anologue"

I have never played a Call Of Duty game, but have you played Metroid Prime Trilogy on Wii? Done right, Wii Remote pointer controls greatly outperform analogue sticks.

could the issue be that Activision wants people to buy Infinite Warfare to play Modern Warfare?

Noticed this yesterday!

Since I still can't afford a ROG laptop I usually play shooters on my Wii like MW, MW3 Goldeneye and BO. They're really fun regardless of being gimped versions.

@BornInNorway81 Oh I have and it worked marvelously! But for COD it had nowhere near the quality of metroid, and when you have the option for analogue which is more precise for COD and HD no brainer!

@gcunit Nahh I was just referring to COD specifically, games like Mario galaxy looked fantastic!

@BornInNorway81 no offense to it was awesome, but a better example would be Red Steel 2. Motion plus mad aiming even better. And the best way to prove how Wii remotes were more accurate was resident evil 4. I was unstoppable on the Wii version. It really shines when you don't have the crutch of auto aim turned on for twinsticks

Possibly done because of the Modern Warfare remaster. Funnily enough, I was wondering if the CoD servers were still running considering that they didn't have the ussual Nintendo Wi-fi sticker on them. Guess this implies that Black Ops' servers are still running. Maybe I'll pop some cash for a copy of that as it must be dead cheap now; hope the multiplayer still has some life.

@aj_fowl My God, Red Steel 2 was one of the best example of motion controls in an FPS, perhaps more so than the Prime trilogy. As for Resi, I must say I do have a fondness for the old single-stick control system. Playing Revelations with dual stick controls feels like cheating.

The servers are back up apparently.

this is so BOGUS, dude!

@MitchVogel servers seem to be back up, might wanna do an update.

@Danksparce Thanks, I updated the article accordingly.

I have 007 in Wii and its online is active.

@ReshiramZekrom I know that CoD Black Ops online still works on Wii. Probably other Activision games as well. GoldenEye like said above.

So now I can go back to Reflex, Goldenyeye and Blops Wii! Nice! Didn't realise they were supported all this time, best I make up for it! Wonder if there are any more games with dedicated servers?
