I just fired up COD5 on XBL the first time last night and it was incredibly frustrating. When your console goes looking for games it doesn't try and find a game using a map that you have, it just looks for the "best" game. If it turns out you don't have that map it very helpfully pops up the XBL marketplace so you can buy the map packs.

Problem is if you don't want to drop 800 points (~$12) on a random guess of which one of the three available map packs you need all you can do is go try and find another game. Guess which game it selects as the "best" game again? Does the PS3 version handle this better?

I have every COD so far and a pre order for 6 but this is really making me think twice. I'd just go for the PC version but the dedicated server thing is pretty obnoxious too.

PS3 doesn't send you over to buy the map pack. I have never had an issue with getting into games. My only issue is they won't load me into lower level games so i have to wait till player on my level skill are avaliable (maybe 20 seconds max). Ussually i hit the "find game" and i am in right away. I am very anti-xbox and this sounds like another way microsoft is trying to get more money out of you.

I tried it again and it worked better, I was able to get into a couple of games for a while before the map rotated to one I don't have. On the whole the fact that it pops up the download window when you need some additional content is good, it just saves some time. It's Infinity Ward who designed a game browser that tries to join a map I don't have over and over again that burns me.

The whole reason I bought this thing was so I could stop gaming on my desktop and use Linux full time. I got the Xbox because it was $200 cheaper at the time, I don't know what I was thinking.

The first COD MW was fantastic. The new one looks even better. I'm planning on getting it for sure. I use a PS3 and have enjoyed everything about this cosole. I don't have much time to play games as I would like, but I can't pass this one up. I haven't played COD for awhile. I guess I better get some time on the COD4 game before the new one comes out so I'm not so rusty .

Anyone going to buy the prestige edition?

Anyone standing in line at midnight ????

It's going to be hard to get as it is in very limited release. Are you not interested in buying the prestige ed?

Wow you must really have a hard on for me.

For one my friend builds his own comps. I don't know the spec's, i stopped caring about gaming on my comp 5 years ago when i moved out. Now its just for browsing, Itunes and school work.

As for more than 16 players, this really tells me what type of player you are. Your the guy who wants to be rambo and open up on as many players as possiable. Personally i like smaller games in hardcore mode (hardcore team deathmatch, hardcore search and destroy) or even playing tactical. I am sure you know what these are but big games are for little boys who freak out and throw their controller across the room...

for example:

As for cheaters on PS3 or any console. I haven't noticed any. You can look at the stats and they are ussually banned before they hit level 6 on the first prestige.

to end my little rant, its cheaper to buy a PS3 rather than buying a tower specifically for gaming. I like it better, I stated my point and thats where it ends. Just remember, you can have the best equipment in the world but it won't make you a better player.

Custom built by whom, Future Shop? I also have a custom built high-end gaming pc. I have been building my gaming pcs since way back in the 1990s and can tell you that not all pcs are the same in graphics, performance. This will vary depending on which Motherboard, CPU, RAM, Hard Drive, Video Card. As with everything in life you get what you pay for.



Rubbish and here’s why.

The Xbox360 is equivalent to the ATI X1900 256mb video card and the PS3 uses the 7900GTX 256mb card. Both GPUs have 24 pixel processors and run at 500Mhz. Both consoles were designed to run DX9 games at 720P (Do I have to say more?). Anything above the Nvidia 8800GT is a better card. Nvidia is on the 800,900,200 series video cards. Most gamers are using The 200 Series in their gaming PCs. Gamers can overclock their cards, or use them in SLI which can double the 720p.



Customize your keys. Makes your gaming faster and much more enjoyable.



A gaming PC has better graphics and higher FPS (frames per second). Multiplayer FPS is superior in everyway. I can set all my settings on high and still have a high fps with smooth gameplay. A good keyboard and mouse is much faster and more accurate than any controller. This is a fact. I’ve been playing MP FPS since the very beginning of FPS. Started playing competitively and leagues MP during Medal of Honor days (Infinity Ward is a breakaway from 2015 who made MOH btw). PC Multiplayer offers customization like mouse control, text chat in game and graphics settings. change of field of view. console commands. dedicated servers. lower pings mean less lag, I HATE LAG. With dedicated servers you can play up to 60 players online. With dedicated servers the server host is able to kick spammers,racists,and hackers. I can also choose the server I want to play on. PC Offers community made content and MODS. Custom Multiplayer MOD’s and MAP’s is where it’s at. This will add value to the game and make it last longer. In short this will bring the game to a whole new level. PC MP offers gaming communities and competitive play.

FPS has gotten very popular with consoles over the last few years. It's not that the console has better graphics and performance. It’s because the game developers are targeting the average consumer that can use a relatively cheap game platform compared to a gaming PC. The more people buy your game the more money you make.

To the ps3 players.
Max players 16 (No Dedicated Servers so you can't have 32slots or higher)
No community made content (want new content must pay for DLC)
No mods
No gaming communities or competitive play
Sub-Par Anti-Cheat System (no screenshots or MD5tool to catch cheaters)
Player hosting the game will have 0ms ping (his shots will always register first)

I agree with everything you said... hence why I still play PC FPS games... However I am boycotting MW2 and most importantly....Infinity Ward. Since they feel the need to screw PC gamers...
