BC2 for Xbox or PC? - Games

I am able to run PC, but I don't know if I want it for Xbox or not. Enlighten me, FacePunchers. PC: + Save $10 + Better aiming, shooting, etc. + More control - People with seemingly unlimited skill with a mouse - Vehicles will be more of a bother - More hackers/cheaters. Xbox: + Probably larger online play + More balanced + Few to no cheaters/hackers - Expensive (To me anyways) - Child plus Mic = Terror - Less Teamplay So the odds are pretty much equal but I'm edging towards PC.

IMO the PC is better. Because I generally enjoy PC gaming more and find consoles kind of lame. But tha is entirely my personal preference. If you don't have a good PC, get it for the Xbox. That's about it. Otherwise just weigh the pros and cons in your mind some more and pick which feels right and you think you'll most enjoy. Notice the YOU in you'll. Not us. You.

I know, I was planning on getting it for the PC, but my computer is getting cluttered. Plus I'm used to playing it on the Xbox. And I always have every other FPS on my PC. Saying that, I will probably be getting it for the Xbox. [editline]10:08PM[/editline] Unless I make room and do a little System Requirment studying.

It's more of a console game for me, since i'll mainly be playing it on live.

Vehicles are fine on PC, I don't know what you're talking about. Also PC has 32 player max instead of console's 24, and I couldn't imagine playing BC2 with only 24 players. There's also a fuckton of servers on PC so you don't have to worry about that.

If you're getting an fps, get it for PC whenever possible. Gamepads are horrible on these games.

Get it for PC if you have a quad-core and Xbox if you don't

[QUOTE=dvondrake;20567053]I don't have a quad core and it runs fine. What're you on about?[/QUOTE] Well it ran absolutely horridly on my Core2duo 2.8Ghz on one of my laptops so I would imagine it wouldn't be much better even on a ~4ghz desktop dual-core

Only "Better for Consoles" game I can think of is Bioshock. Much more easy to grasp on controllers, for some reason. One side for Plasmids, one side for weapons. Since I'm here, I might as well ask, too. Pros being better communities, easier to grasp/switchable control scheme, and better field of vision (I like being able to access the Xbox and computer at the same time, but the only Television in the same room as the computer is standard definition. Bad Company and it's Wide Screen tendencies often make text hard to read and enemies hard to see.) It also apparently costs less. I can guarantee you I'll probably have to upgrade to play it, but I was going to do that soon anyway. Cons being a good amount of my friends will PROBABLY get it for the Xbox, including the one person I know who is most enthusiastic about it. I can put off upgrading the PC for a bit, because I just realized that'll take a hell of a lot more work than it sounds like. I'll also have to find a working microphone.

I like the Xbox version because it seems that it is far less buggy than the PC version turned out to be, if the forums are any indication. I also like the Xbox version because an Xbox 360 controller is much more fun to use than a keyboard, IMHO.

More balanced?

PC

The only thing the Xbox has going for it is easier vehicle control. For example, to turn a tank turret around all the way on the PC requires many mouse-lifts. I'd say it's all around better on the PC, though. Hell, you could keep a 360 controller plugged in for vehicles. Also, the game looks far better on the PC even on medium. Which my 2.4ghz Core 2 Duo runs fine. (Actually I run it on high with no AA or AF and low shadows)

PC is almost always the way to go.

I'd much rather have it on the PC, but I'll be getting it on the Xbox because I can't run it very well.

PC ftw!

It's not even about aim in this game really its more to do outsmarting the guy you're about to shoot. I you wanna twitch shoot go play MW2 or TF2

My opinion: If your computer can run it smooth and good go for the PC, but if not, NOW that will be a bother just go for the Xbox. Me I get the Xbox since default that I don't have a gaming PC.

If your friends get PC, get PC, if Xbox, get Xbox.

I have an xbox and a PC without a GPU at the moment, I would rather get it on PC, mainly because I feel the controls on the xbox are slow and clumsy.

I'm gonna convince my dad to get the 360 version of the game because he never goes on the PC (it's mine really) and because I want to play with my bro online (who only has a 360). I've bought it for PC for myself though.

I play the 360 version because my PC can't run it. But I've had a blast playing the game so it doesn't matter much.

I can't believe you need a thread for this. PC.

The P.C version is superior, but I'm paying £10 extra for playing it on the xbox. The reason? All my friends are xbox players. Just get it on whatever will let you play with your amigos

The only con on the xbox version so far for me is that none of my friends are getting it. They just have awful gaming taste. Fucking MW2tards.
