Console vs. Computer?

[·WídgêT·]

First let me start by saying that if my computer was powerful enough to play the game I would be right in the mix with all of you right now. But alas, my laptop cannot stand up to the awesomeness that is Call of Duty and cannot play it

I currently play MW2 on my 360 and am absolutely LOVING the multiplayer, the best multiplayer I have come across since starting Halo close to 4 years ago. The campaign I feel is lacking but that is besides the point. The reason I have called you all here today is I want to see what you all think about gameplay between the 2 consoles that support the game (I'm not entirely sure if the Wii has it...I know it has World at War but not so sure about either of the Modern Warfares) and the computer.

I'm looking for an honest opinion (from those of you that have played at least 2 of the options), and it can be either the first Modern Warfare of the second, just make sure to mention which one you're voting for and why you like it. Let's see how this'll turn out

For the pc, CoD4 hands down.  MW2 on the pc doesnt have dedi servers and is basically like playing on xbox live on your pc.

It's much better on the computer for my style of play, as camping is one of the most boring tactics there is to me and I don't have fun doing it. The computer allows for much quicker movements for running around, etc., so camping isn't as favorable on a console as it is on a computer, since you have a much easier time moving around on the computer. This fact is evidenced by the differences in play that you find when playing on a console or a computer. So the general movement of the computer is better for my enjoyment.

For me PS3.

When you buy it for a console, you are guaranteed the full experience. It's not like your PS3 isn't going to met the specs of the game. As my PC is getting on now, I'm getting more games for the console and less for the PC. Although I still spend most of my time on Halo.  

Then again, you will never have a more fulfilling online experience than on clan servers.

But infinity ward ruined that didn't they?  

So ya, MW2, go with PS3 for sure..or....Xbox   If you really have to

PC I personally offers greater variety of game play. On a side note, I hope Treyarch is allowed by Activision to keep deicated servers for cod7. Hopefully they will redeem themselces, if not I think the computer end of their business will fall and will give the majority of market share to DICE and there Battlefield line.

Having COD4 for PC, and COD4 + COD5 + MW2 for Xbox, I would have to say that computer is better. Even though my computer is horrible and I have to play on the lowest settings graphically, I find it much more fun and easier to control. If I had a super-duper gaming computer it would be even better.

lol a poll about console vs computer in a website that focus is on computer games . Obviously consoles will win .

Computer for me. Although they are more expensive and also no one makes games for them anymore (all good games are made for consoles and then ported over to the PC due to higher profit in consoles) I like PC because it is easier to play with the keyboard and mouse.

Yeah I know right!

You know as soon as I posted that I was thinking, "Wait a second..."

You can have so much more addatives to computers that it will bypass consoles by a mile.
However, consoles are cheaper than high-end Pcs.

On the PC, aiming is so much more precise.  On any console, you have to wait for your crosshairs to sweep to your target so you have to be spot on with timing. 

If you want to be very aware of all areas around you, you can whip around faster with the mouse than you can with a thumb stick.

On the console, all the buttons are in easy, memorable areas finding merely by touch whereas you may have to look down at your keyboard on the PC hunting for the number 4 key wasting precious time...the difference of you getting a kill or getting killed.

All this can be solved for the PC with the use of one of the macro keyboards.

All your weapons...all your perks...your online in-game well being all within easy reach and memorization.

If cost (console around 300 and gaming PC around 600-800 US) was no issue...

Advantage:  PC controls FTW!

I've just added to the tally of you PC fans out there

Buy one of these, they're great:

Haven't gotten a PS3 yet.  My shooter gaming has been on a PC BECAUSE of the control 

Once they make it for the XBox...look out!  ODST will never be the same!
