should i buy for xbox, full graphics, but i have to pay for xbl and limited to how much i can play.

Or

should i buy for pc, will have low gfx (dependent on my shocking 9300m g nvidia), dont have to pay to play, and easily upgradable when i get a desktop.
ps3

have you not heard anything about how terrible mw2 for the pc is online?

if you have any intention of playing multiplayer, do not get it for the pc

what's online multiplayer like on the console?

i'd think it'd suck due to the joysticks, rather than a mouse/keyboard...

MP for the PC is the exact same for Console, I dont really give a damn, and i've grown up with the MM system with the Halo series.

I finished the single players campaign yesterday afternoon. I've only owned the game for a week today and I certainly wasn't playing it daily or that often - though with FPS you come to accept the short single player campaign.

I've been playing a bit of the multiplayer, I really like some of the new game modes especially domination. No dedicated servers does let what could be a great game, it is unfortunate. though I haven't experienced bad lag, usually get 4 bars (full) 3 bars is a little lagy but not enough to stop playing just sometimes you get lag spikes and when I was playing last night the server migrated to a better one for all.

@ Omie Jay - Keyboard and mouse ftw. :p

yeah it takes a bit of getting used to


but just have a look at some of the aiming here:

its halo 3 but it shows once you get good with the joystick you can aim just as well as anyone could with a mouse

I play MLG, and the BR which all MLG players love to use has a stickyaim/bulletmagnetism built in.

considering its a DIRECT PORT OF A CONSOLE GAME, yeah its the same - just shitter seen you're playing it on something it wasnt designed for

one thousand reader reviews, 300+ negative comments do not lie dude

online support makes or breaks games like this

Yeah...but Id rather a PC version because of certain things that occur in this house that would inhibit me even playing the game.

playing PC campaign on veteran difficulty.
thats where the fun begins even though deaths galore.

multiplayer capabilities is fuck all.
more luck catching fish in a water with no fish.

But then the "No Russian" civilian massacre level is a lot of fun:


























































Only when the riot police came.
