Call of Duty WWII

 

🎮🖥️ Call of Duty (Wii versions) – Full PC Review (Dolphin Emulator, 2025)

Tested on My Gaming PC:

• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3050 8GB

• CPU: Intel Core i5 13th Gen

• RAM: 16GB DDR4

• Emulator: Dolphin 5.0-XXXXX (latest version)

• Display: 1080p 60Hz

• OS: Windows 11 64-bit

🛠️ Emulator Performance:

✅ Runs flawlessly at 1080p with Dolphin Emulator
✅ FPS locked at 60 FPS even with enhancements
✅ Upscaling to 2x or 3x native resolution looks far better than on the original Wii
✅ Load times are almost instant on SSD

📌 Wii controls (motion + nunchuk) can be mapped to mouse + keyboard or gamepad easily.

🎮 Gameplay Experience by Title:

1️⃣ Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – Reflex Edition (Wii Port of COD 4)

• Full campaign with all missions intact

• Multiplayer (offline only now)

• Visuals are heavily downgraded vs PC/PS3 but playable at higher res via Dolphin

🎯 Good for nostalgia, but clearly limited in textures, lighting, and AI polish.

---

2️⃣ Call of Duty: World at War (Wii)

• Surprisingly good Wii port with co-op and full campaign

• Features zombies (though limited)

• Uses motion controls for aiming and grenades — works great when mapped

🌊 Jungle warfare and flamethrower missions are still thrilling, even if visuals are soft.

---

3️⃣ Call of Duty: Black Ops (Wii)

• Full single-player campaign

• Zombies mode is present (Kino Der Toten!)

• Visuals and gunplay are toned-down, but still authentic

🎮 Playable in Dolphin with no issues; expect lower enemy density and slightly altered levels.

---

🖼️ Graphics (Emulated in Dolphin, 1080p+):

• Much better than the native Wii output (480p)

• Upscaling improves textures and sharpness significantly

• Shadows, reflections, and lighting are basic compared to PC/console COD versions

• Character animations are simplified

🖥️ You can even play in 1440p or 4K — just keep internal resolution at 3x or 4x.

---

🔊 Sound & Music:

• All original COD soundtracks are preserved

• Gunshots and voices are slightly compressed (due to Wii hardware limits)

• No audio bugs in Dolphin with HLE or LLE settings

🎧 Using headphones helps immerse you in these simplified warzones.

---

🎮 Controls & Customization:

• Dolphin allows full mapping of Wii Remote + Nunchuk controls to:

  • Mouse + keyboard

  • PS4/PS5/Xbox controllers

  • Gyro (if using a compatible gamepad like DualSense)

⚙️ Best experience is with a controller mimicking Wii motion input.
