Thought i would make this thread to get a few things of my chest concerning the 360. I got mine recently, just 4 weeks or so ago after wanting one since a lot of my mates got one. Being bang into my online PC gaming it took a while but eventually i felt left out & wanted one.
Now i feel after owning one i can give my Honest opinion on the 360 compared to the PC baring in mind i am an Online player not a single player.
Basically compared to the PC online the 360 is Crap, not even in the same league, not even in the same country or planet to be quite ****** honest.
So if you have a a fairly decent PC (mine is still AGP) & are thinking about buying a 360 then Don't.
Player count on the 360 is pathetic, No server choice & not even any dedi servers so no choosing Low ping servers just take whatever you are slung, matchmaking suxs Ho Chi Mings **** & that's without putting up with over exuberant young yanks & there squeaky voices. The whole thing is a complete disappointment, So much so that i have gone back to BF2 on my PC & have played that again daily for the last 3 weeks. I don't think my 360 has been on for over a week. The only game that has been any good out of the 5 i have tried is COD4 but then that is spoilt by 8v8 matches instead of the up to 50 on PC. My live ran out on the 2nd of Jan & even though my bank is next door to the gaming shop i didn't bother going in & getting a months sub.
All i can say is if a 360 suits you & your gaming style then fair play to you it is a Great little box & plays games really well. The controller is Superb & not having to worry whether the games will work on it is a breath of fresh air compared to the tweaking you have to do on a PC to get it to run at its best.
This thread is not for you, This thread is for those guys who have a half decent PC & are wondering whether to get a 360 like i did. To them i say Save your money & spend it on your PC as Online PC gaming Pawns online 360 gaming in Every single way.
Lets not have a Flame fest, This is just my own personal experience & may help others to make a decision one way or the other. Once again bare in mind i am a Big Map, Big player count choose your own Low ping server kind of gamer.
For comparison my system is AGP pulls around 8k on 3D05.
