From the reviews I've read the PC version is vastly superior if you can run it.

yep... I got the PC version and FANTASTIC... I have read in reviews that the 360 version is sub-par to both the PC and PS3... I also played it at E3 on a Xbox and didn't like the controls at all... IMO, since only SP... PC for this game.

BTW. screens in screenshot forum.

Excellent, that's exactly what I was hoping to hear, it make the decision a no brainer, plus it's 10 dollars cheaper lol. What do you guys generally pay for a console game in the US, up hear it's almost $80 including taxes.

Yup Mags saw your screen shots, that's what clued me into this game smile

60 bucks console game, 40 to 50 for a PC... of course Activision is F'in the PC gamer yet again by setting the trend of a 60 dollar PC game... along with the no dedicated server, no mods, only 9 vs 9 MP (on PC too)... more salt in the wound.

Activision has taken the place of EA as the "bad" publisher, and it's well deserved IMO. It's too bad a few of my favorite game companies are signed up with them. MW2, Diablo 3... Stalin and Mao could get together and publish those and I'd still buy them.

The console game is good, but a pal of mine grabbed the PC one and it looks a lot easier to play ;

For Example you can pull the camera out further and all the menus are easier to navigate with a mouse instead of a gamepad, in addition, on the 360 Im limited to 6 hotkeys,(Y X B , plus pulling RT gives me 3 more) he has the whole number bar on his kboard , plus the alt and shift modes too for a total of 30+


{edit} he also has a fast PC , I think a quad core of some sort and a good videocard, and it looks fantastic
