If you actually read the original post he says...

Quote:
I've heard that Metroid 3 is the only good 1st person shooter on the Wii and that Medal of Honor II is ok, but still no competitive, player vs. player, split-screen type of mode like Bond: Goldeneye had.

Now, after bolding what he said, I really shouldn't even have to explain my reply because it should be common sense, but since you didn't notice the first time ill kindly explain.

Goldeneye 007 was indeed frantic in multiplayer split screen mode. You didn't go around creeping around trying to take someone out. Why went full frontal shooting and strafing doing circles around each other while shooting preferably at the head. So yes single player was "somewhat stealth" but I was pointing out multiplayer/split screen. Now please do not make a snappy reply saying "you should have said so" because im not here to make sure someone doesnt try to be a smart guy but help out the original poster. Unless of course you want to say Multiplayer on Goldeneye wasn't frantic, then again it I still wouldn't be wrong, it would just mean you sucked at Goldeneye

There isn't a fps on Wii yet that covers single player, splitscreen multi and online multi all in one.

These games cover one part each though.

Metroid Prime 3 Corruption - single player, great controls.
MOH Heroes 2 - 32 players online, great controls.
Red Steel - 4 player split screen.

Red Steel isn't as bad as some people make out, although the controls are not as polished as MP3 or MOH H2.

MoH:H2 is in my opinion the best fps for the wii and i dont think it will be surpassed any time soon. True some controls are annoying and split screen would have been nice but other than that it is one of my favorite fps game, 2nd only to counter strike on the PC (not a halo fan)

dunno what to say, other than that you probably haven't played very many good fps titles. mohh2 is indeed solid, but there's a HUGE margin for improvement.

Would it surprise you if I say "OK, fair enough, I took your comment in isolation and not in conjunction with what the OP said"? It would have been clearer (to me anyway!) if you added "multiplayer" because that's where "Golden eye was a frantic style of shooter." But regardless, point taken. I wasn't trying to be a smartass, but to clarify what I thought was an inaccurate statement. I had spent a huge amount of time playing solo thru GE, and only a couple of times on split-screen. (And for the record, I am a real "doctor" with a genuine PhD, but i won't go in that off-topic direction again! )

Im sorry anyway, I was just getting tired of the "Let me make this guy look stupid" posters on these forums. Seems like every post people are trying to make someone look stupid by correcting someone for even the smallest things. Btw, I wasnt seriously mocking your "Dr" I was just joking about that part, but its cool to hear that you're actually a Doc!
