Wii owners will finally get the chance to play one of the best FPS games on the market as Activision announced today that they will be releasing Call of Duty 4:Modern Warfare for the Wii on November 10th.  The folks at Treyarch have done the port and I'm interested to see how much of the original game made it over (is the excellent multiplayer in place?) and how big the drop in graphical fidelity will be.
