I remember the good years of the Ghost Recon franchise(ghost recon 2 and graw)

Now this crap and future soldier will prob suck after seeing what they are doing to the wii version.

Hm... the trailer I've seen reminded me a lot of "Cabal", in a good way actually, but after 2 Chronicles games and DSE I'm really not thinking I need a 4th on-rails shooter...

I'm a sucker for on rails shooters. I dunno why, but I really like them. Plus my wife likes them too so we play them together.

While I loved Graw, IMO, the Wii isn't really that good of a "free roam FPS" platform. At least, not with the Wiimote. It's a clumsy awkward setup for those types of games. On rails is OK IMO, unless they want tu support the classic or cube controllers for more practical control options.

I agree. I love the Wii control scheme for all sorts of games, but FPS aren't included in that list.

Hmm, I feel pretty much the opposite from you two. I really like the Wii control scheme for first person shooters. I think it feels very natural and accurate. In fact dual analog is the control scheme that I find to be awkward and clumsy in FPS's. When I get Goldeneye later this year, there is no way I'm playing it with the classic controller.

I don't like using the Wiimote to move my head around. It's fine if moving the wiimote only moves the reticle where I'm shooting, but if it moves my head, I'm likely to turn my head inadvertently when shooting towards the edge of the screen. I find using the right stick to be more natural. Probably due to all of the other shooters I've played that control this way.
