Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection Multiplayer

The Wi-Fi aspect of Nintendo Wii is quickly becoming the biggest part of a game when players are deciding which game to buy. The Wi-Fi connection has evolved and become an important part of First-person-Shooters, classic Nintendo games, etc.

The Conduit is a highly hyped Wi-Fi compatible game being released in June. It also brings about the first ever FPS on the Wii to use Wii Speak.

Not much has been confirmed for The Conduit's online play aspect, but this bit has:

-16 person online multiplayer (HVS' goal, has not been confirmed)
-Wii Speak compatible (No info on whether Friend Codes will be needed for Wii Speak)
-No Wii Motion Plus
-7 Online Modes (Only Deathmatch and Capture the Flag have been confirmed)
-No perks, classes, etc. (This is not Call of Duty)
-Weapons will be available for pick-up located on the maps.
-No DLC (Although HVS has said DLC might be possible for a sequel)
-No Lobbies (Matchmaking like on Halo 3 and Call of Duty)


Now this is the list of highly anticipated answers that Conduit fans are awaiting word on

-Will we need to input Friend Codes to become someone's friend?
-Will we only be able to talk with friends using Wii Speak?
-What are all of the modes?
-Will there be challenges, a ranking system, unlockables, etc?


NOTE: Sega has announced that information on Wi-Fi multiplayer will be fully released in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.
