Yes I do have to say that playing FPS games on consoles just takes time to get used to the controls and once you do they are great, its waaaay more fun to play with your friends on a split screen than over the internet, there just so much mroe crazy stuff that can happen (Halo 2) But I must say I like them on the PC more because the controls are easier (notice how halo1 and halo2 have auto aim where halo pc doesnt even need it?) and the graphics are better, BF2 may be coming out on a console but its graphics will never stand up to the PCs (assuming you have a good comp) and right now there are some errors with BF2 but with the pc you can just get a patch (which is coming out soon), and many console games are riddled with errors too. Overall I have to say, if I can get a FPS for the pc then I will otherwise ill be happy with it on a console

Oh. My. God. You did NOT just say that, man. Halo and Halo 2 both demonstrate how FPS's belong on consoles and not on PC's. Sure, Halo 1 was on PC, but I have it and frankly, it's not as good. I have a great computer that easily handles the game, but there are still so many problems with the PC version. Not to mention that the Halo controls that everyone has been copying since its release. I cannot imagine playing a FPS on a computer when I could instead play on a console, especially if I can use one of the big "Duke" XBOX controllers. Seriously, after playing Halo for a while on XBOX, can you not see the beauty that is the console FPS? The controls feel so damn great. Sure, you could play Halo PC with a keyboard, but it is NOT the same feeling at all. Not to mention the XBOX 360 will be more powerful than everything except the most expensive gaming computers money can buy. And it's only $300! FPS's belong on consoles, not PC's. [glow=red,2,300]really. two games, however great they are, should not demonstrate how a whole genre should belong on a gaming platform. and the only ones that have been copying the halo control setup are other consoles. and I cannot imagine playing a FPS on a console when I cant even use the bloody controler because it is too big. sure the controls may feel great to you but I prefer to be able to aim and turn faster than the console thumbstick can ever let me. sure the 360 will be more powerful, but its not about the graphics or the power of the machine, it is about the gameplay and controls. and playing splitscreen on the same TV is just so...cheap. it is way too easy just to look over to your friends side and see what they are doing, where they are, and what weapons they have...not to mention the smaller screens for each of you. meh. think what you want. I know that FPS's belong on a PC, and you cant change that, whatever you do.[/glow]

Well if anyone wants, my characters name is w_brooks and im a lance corporal (almost halfway to corporal) Main kit played is Special Ops I also use Medic, Sniper and at strike at karkand support once I get corporal im going to unlock the G3 and use assault more (as the medic/suppor/sniper unlocks dont interest me I am a very experienced squad leader, I have never failed a mission given to me by the commander and I am best at fighting mid ranges, I also have quite high skill in any jet or battle copter (FYI I have never been shot down in a dogfight, I however have had to eject sometimes) And I officialy think BF2 is better than halo (but BF2 is only online so halos single player easily beats it)

Sure, and there is a demo (and also with bf2 you either hate it or ye love it its downloadable at gamespot along with videos (which I suggest you watch etc. (but the demo doesnt offer alot, only land vehicles and it plays on one of the worst levels and its only 16 player so its really small (in BF2 the size of the field depends on the max player count which can go up to 64)) (BTW I had to get a new video card to play it, and I had the same VC as you so your computer may not be able to handle it, but if the demo works you should be fine) but it also depends on the kit you play (medic, engineer,sniper etc.) I use special ops, they arent very good at combat but they can plant c-4 which can be hilarious (nothing like sneaking into an enemy bace planting c-4 on a helecopter, waiting till 3 people get in then blowing it up but read up on it at Gamespot

I just got the game and it is so awsome! Stat tracking and level ups make this just worth coming back to time and time again, tons of fetures, vehicals look and feel much more proffetionaly done and more as part of the action, on foot parts are much more balanced, and things like comande role and squads add so much depth. I was going along the streets with my squad, in a box formation to keep the comander (our walking spawn point) safe and out medic alive. I'm in there as anti tank, defending against the many vehicals in htis game, my 2 other friends are assault, taking care of infintry in the way, and the last guy on our team drove the tank. We ran riot all over the streets. (I'm a somewhat respected helicoter pilot myself, but htey didnt have one in that map ) Here's my profile www.got3n.com/player.php?pid=kittykatz5k

Probably the DOA-12.
Nice ranks, but you had it for a while, I had it for 2 days now. Oh well, see you on the battlefield. Just wish the system had a friends list.
Wait, woh! You're W-brooks, I saw you before!

Or instead of getting an expensive computer and/or graphics card, you could get the game for XBOX. It's coming out around the end of summer for the XBOX. Also, there will be a better version coming out for the XBOX 360! Something tells me that we're more likly to find people with a strong enough computer to run it then we are to find people who are getting 360 and xbox live soon.

Oh also, they are coming up with a 1.03 patch (BTW you should get the 1.02 patch from their website, it opens up a ton of more servers, if you dont have it already) it will have a friends list I believe, and will prevent blackhawk whoring, and actualy allow special ops to get points for blowing up enemy artillery, and it will hyave a favorites server list
