I will update this pinned comment incase things change. As of now. The games are offline with no announcements. There is a very small chance that this is a temporary thing but it’s not looking good. If it happens that the servers come back online. Then this video might seem a little silly to look back on To answer a quick question. Wii U CoDs are not affected by the shutdown. Only Wii. And DS CoDs are online through Wiimmfi
I think you're underestimating the amount of time that would take. Making our own server would take heaps amount of time to do. It's not out the realm of possibility however we also likely won't be seeing one any time soon. Currently nobody seems to hold any plans to make one
That's a real shame. I used to absolutely love CoD 4 Reflex on the Wii back in the day, I played it to death. I honestly thought the servers on the Wii versions had shut down forever ago for some reason. I somewhat recently set up my Wii again on a CRT TV I got for free at a garage sale a little while back, if I knew they were still up I honestly might have jumped in and played a few games. I'm something like ten plus years out of practice so I'd of probably been destroyed with the Wii controls, but it would have been so nostalgic lmao
Man its a shame. I had just recently found out they pulled the plug without warning. I began playing CoD first on Wii before moving on to Xbox. I often still go back and watch old videos from the Wii CoD community. Great memories. Modders have brought Dreamcast and OG Xbox back online. So, I'm pretty confident the modding community will get servers running for these games one day, but sadly the player count will be significally smaller than what it already was.
It’s a huge shame they closed without any warning. We were pretty upset we couldn’t give a proper send off. The player counts were already significantly small already but will likely be smaller if we made a private server. Nice to hear you hold nostalgia for these games, love reading comments like this! Hopefully the dumb uploads I have on my channel from awhile ago will be enough for you to relive some of it. All of it is in playlists on my channel page if you’re interested! Thanks for watching and typing out a comment!
@@BirdknivesGameplay Will do! Now the Wii U online is shutting down. I gotta get on BO2 on there to give it a propper send off. I know its almost the same version as the 360/PS3, but there is probably no modded lobbies on Wii U lol.
Just note that with eShop closed down, if you aren’t from the USA then you can’t play online under a new console unless you homebrew and install the mandatory nuketown DLC files yourself with 3rd party downloaders (reasoning for this is that NA have the nuketown files bundled in with update data. Everywhere else had it as a separate eShop download). You do find the occasional modder but on significant less terms then that of the X360. When the servers do go down, we have a potential backup we can use to continue playing past it. If you’re interested we have a discord server for all things Nintendo CoD. You’ll find some people to play with there before the closure! It can be found in the video description or my channels about page
I remember getting into reflex with you and several other people on the cod Wii voice chat and it was amazing. It was a great experience and I won’t forget it. Thank you for all the help with getting online and providing the joy while it lasted.
@@BirdknivesGameplay I would play ds cods but they should have named them something else. They’re completely different games and they called them the same thing 😭
@redfawn6229 True, but that’s how demakes go sometimes. Especially if you look at the J2ME CoD games for example. And many other games of the DS or GBA era did the same thing. If these games weren’t called CoD, people would probably say that they’re the “Call of duties of the DS” or something silly. But I understand they’re quite fascinating.
The other consoles have LAN support which you can tunnel online with XLink Kai so even if PSN/XBL goes down you can still play with others. Right this second there’s 35 people playing Halo 3 on 360 and 5 playing Twisted Metal on PS3.
Sadly, Wii CoD does not have any sort of LAN play. Otherwise we would have started using it. Wii U CoD does infact have LAN play though, so when Nintendo Network on Wii U closes, we can still play BO2 and Ghosts with XLink Kai
Damn that sucks, I played this as a kid and idk how I did it because of the controls I wouldn’t be able to comprehend it now. But it was my first dive into real video gaming on consoles. Oh the memories
As of October 2023 I tried MW3 Wii & the server is still dead with the error code 20110. So it would probably means that the online features of the Wii COD games are really gone for good.Hopefully there will be a workaround to revive them.But if not,then R.I.P. online COD Wii.🙏
I litreally jailbroke my wii 2 days ago re downloaded these games got on combat training last night and come back to this man my whole childhood just gone, I hope they come back
We have until the 5th to see if this is a temporary outage. If it gets past that date and you still can't access the servers. Then it's 100% offline and discontinued. It's really sad to see but this is what we have to deal with
I hope we can find another way to plays these online again. I put so many hours into bo1 on the wii as a kid. At least I got to revisit them online one last time before they actually shut down
Well I never really got to play online too much, since it was painful to aim on my large TV. But this really sucks, hopefully someone revives the servers.
I’ve played on many TV’s before. Aiming gets nicer if you lower the dead zones. Let’s you turn without aiming as far. Increasing sensitivity also helped big time. Either way, the server closure sucks and I really do hope something comes along which lets us play
Pretty much anything that isn’t CoD is playable online. Wiimmfi supports most Wii games and Goldeneye 007 is playable under a special server. I suggest if you want a full compatibility list for Wiimmfi you follow this link: wiimmfi.de/stat?m=25
Does that mean survival mode in MW3 and combat training are inaccessible now? I seem to remember that you could only access them if you were connected to the servers. Weird DRM.
Could someone not come up with a code that at least gives us access to the MP part of the game, even if the servers don't work, to be able to play private mode / combat mode? @@BirdknivesGameplay
You have to be online in order to access those modes. The issue is that the login servers are fully offline. You need to get a response from Nintendos login servers to actually access the ATVI game servers. We would likely need to make a private server and use our own login servers as it would be very awkward to make a login server that responds well to ATVI’s game server. Which as far as I’m aware, ATVI still host the game servers even past the shutdown. Either way, the process of all of that is very very long and we don’t have the community and team that are dedicated to making a revival service. We can’t simply make one within an instant
Only the real ones played cod on the wii. I remember my mom buying me black ops and the classic pro controller for my birthday. It really was my first real multiplayer experience, however it was short lived since my wii bricked and I switched over to xbox 360. Save to say I was there when it was in its prime. This new generation will never know about the real call of duty multiplayer experience. And respect for the ones who kept these games going after 15+years.
Yoo that’s awesome, I love hearing from OG’s. You’re right for real, CoD players nowadays won’t know how awesome these ports were. Many players scoff at them and make fun of them. But they really shouldn’t, they’re awesome. Thanks for watching!
Damn this is really sad, i already own all of the cod games that were on the Wii on ps3 (other than cod 3 which i played on Wii) but I always wanted to check them out.
Well you helped me get golden eye working with your trouble shooting. We have also played sonic racing on the Wii together. I'm sure we will run into each other.
You expect a game to remain open forever? The happans all the time its part of the cycle. The only suprise is that it lasted as long as it did. No surprise it shut down.
I am fully aware of games inevitably shutting down. But it’s a huge shame when it happens to a game you love. But what you don’t understand is that the games still actually has running servers as we speak. You just can’t access it because the servers for logging in are taken offline. So its not as if activision fully pulled the plug yet. Which is why I made a ramble video about it. It’s unlikely that logins will come back online to access the game servers until they actually go offline. Hence me calling it the final shutdown. I also chose to make a video about it just so people can share it and spread word that the servers are finally gone. There needs to be some sort of announcement from someone that it’s offline finally right? Nintendo wasn’t willing to say anything. So I thought eh fuck it. I’ll make a rushed thing myself
It sucks that Nintendo broke these games on Wii,it was pretty much there fault the games were getting pretty popular on Wii sadly nothing will happen for awhile probably
I would like to. But I currently don’t have a capture device to record! So sadly I can’t at the moment. And I don’t really like pointing a phone camera at the screen cause the video quality isn’t that great if you do that
This is very sad but thank you for all the great memories on all the cods i played with u and the community its really sad we cant play spec ops cause it requires wifi but if you bird ever play cod with me il make sure to tomahawk you like the good ol days - so long dropi 🫡

Can community just maintain master server?...
I think you're underestimating the amount of time that would take. Making our own server would take heaps amount of time to do. It's not out the realm of possibility however we also likely won't be seeing one any time soon. Currently nobody seems to hold any plans to make one
what shooters are still up vía wiimifi servers or normally on wii besides the two conduits and ge007? asking
The best ones I’ve been told are the ones you’ve mentioned and Greg Hastings Paintball Tournament 2. I don’t really know many others though
BLack Ops is playable still through that Wfmmi thing?
I would’ve assumed they went offline years ago, pretty astounding they lasted this long
Same here tbh
I’m surprised they lasted this long but sad to see it’s gone.
Extremely sad. I’ll never forget playing with you birdie 😢
Same here! GG’s!

That’s a real shame. MW Reflex was my absolute favourite too. Such a good game and it’s sad to see it go
you could play with the classic controller on Black Ops and MW3 online
Man its a shame. I had just recently found out they pulled the plug without warning. I began playing CoD first on Wii before moving on to Xbox. I often still go back and watch old videos from the Wii CoD community. Great memories.

Yep. Been down for about 2 months. Ain’t any way they’re coming back officially. Sad to see
@@BirdknivesGameplay True.Definitely sad.
we can still play GoldenEye Wii online which was also a very good shooter on it's own
The end of cod Wii 😢
It really seems like it!
I litreally jailbroke my wii 2 days ago re downloaded these games got on combat training last night and come back to this man my whole childhood just gone, I hope they come back

F. I was hoping to go back and try these again at some point. Wish they would have made a bigger announcement about this at some point
Yep :(

Hey, if you do not mind, which are other multiplayer games that can be played on the wii
Pretty much anything that isn’t CoD is playable online. Wiimmfi supports most Wii games and Goldeneye 007 is playable under a special server. I suggest if you want a full compatibility list for Wiimmfi you follow this link: wiimmfi.de/stat?m=25
Does that mean survival mode in MW3 and combat training are inaccessible now? I seem to remember that you could only access them if you were connected to the servers. Weird DRM.
Yes, they are currently not accessible
Wow, very coooooool Activision. 👍
It’s certainly a really weird way to do things 😅.

I was going to make a video about the Wii COD's to bring people back. I guess it might be to late :(
Shame. That’s really bad timing

Hey! on the bright side, you can atleast still keep playing. Wii’s sadly gone for now
That sucks 💔 I had the best times playing COD on the Wii and editing montages
Aye for real, sucks big time
I had time to play Multiplayer black Ops Wii although with last bots it was really fun :')
Well you helped me get golden eye working with your trouble shooting. We have also played sonic racing on the Wii together. I'm sure we will run into each other.
I’d be happy to play Sonic Racing again sometime and would be glad to put up a few races with ya.
i never even got the chance to play :(
:(
my first cod game, good memories...
Any mods to get the servers to work again?
Currently not
^^ This needs to happen

No more knifing in the back eh bird boy
Unfortunately 😭
It sucks that Nintendo broke these games on Wii,it was pretty much there fault the games were getting pretty popular on Wii sadly nothing will happen for awhile probably
They’ve been dead for about 6 months or so. So they ain’t getting fixed
Will you still be running gatherings for the ds cod games?
Yes, I’ll likely still be playing the DS games. I would hate to fully retire from the community
@@BirdknivesGameplay I wish I could get them to work. But my hot spot has limitations.
I’m honestly surprised that they were still up
Honestly same. Login servers broke in 2020 and I’m shocked we got 3 more years out of them before this happened
🥲the end of an era
This could truly be the end of an era, and it was a pleasure playing against everyone that I did
Why is everyone saying "wait until the 5th"
Server maintenance finishes on the 5th. That’s basically the last bit of hope people have before we conclude they are fully discontinued
I never even got to reach level 80 man I was 12 levels off
Damn :(
Wii u bo2 next ?
Wii U CoDs are apparently working just fine currently. They seem to not be affected by any shutdowns
@@BirdknivesGameplay yeah I meant next video maybe ?
I would like to. But I currently don’t have a capture device to record! So sadly I can’t at the moment. And I don’t really like pointing a phone camera at the screen cause the video quality isn’t that great if you do that
@@BirdknivesGameplaySo where do I send the capture card? 😋 -SnowyFire
Haha. Deliver it via carrier pigeon I’m sure it’ll find me
Wait really?! Damn! :(
Yep :(
xlink kai?
CoD Wii games never supported any LAN Play. XLink Kai is impossible.
Sad pew. Very sad pew 😭
Sad pew pew
Online all CoD games of Ds Is dead..
They’ve been offline since 2014. But you can still play them via Wiimmfi
So long soldier
So long 🫡
Sad
Truly is 😢
Rip❤😥
Yeah :(
💔
It was fun while it lasted 🥲
This is very sad but thank you for all the great memories on all the cods i played with u and the community its really sad we cant play spec ops cause it requires wifi but if you bird ever play cod with me il make sure to tomahawk you like the good ol days
- so long dropi 🫡
It’s been an absolute pleasure playing alongside you! Never stop those tomahawks my dude
