How many people in the world think pc's are better for shooters? Just about anyone thats played a pc fps with a keyboard and mouse in the last 10 years. Excluding you obviously as your stance on ANYTHING changes to suit your attempts at argueing.

Probably he doesn't have the money to buy a decent PC to play games,instead gets a half ass console.

pc gaming is at quite a low. the prices new pc games release at are so low its ridiculous how they make money on the games - hugely effected by the scale of pc piracy.

Which is why pc games need to have decent multiplayer components and a good cd key system. Anyone can pirate a game for the SP element, but something like cod4 its hard to play online with the servers kicking people for recognised warez keys. If they do a good job on the multi their games will still sell, if not they probably wont.

regardless i bet there are more people playing cod 4 online on the consoles, and also there is a higher percentage playing cod 4 cracked downloaded copies on the pc regardless of such cd key systems.

started playing cod 4 finally again after a month break and im awful, cant shoot shitttttt

Id say...only RTS

Id rather play COD 4 on xbox 360 than PC now.

On console it is easier to do it wrong...but when it is right...there is no reason to play PC FPS games over consoles...it's pretty much same shit almost.

Yeah the autoaim must bring a sense of satisfaction at actually being able to hit something for a change.

well, the thing about consoles is that if they're done right, they're better for certain gaming. But if they're done by releasing a new console every 3-4 years (like Microsoft is doing with Xbox), and certain companies manipulating the online stores by removing content in the games and making you pay extra for content that should of been in the games originally (see EA Sports), then PCs>Consoles.

There are certain games id rather play on a console, that being said though i mainly whore out FPS games and playing them on consoles to me the experience is just dumbed down. COD 4 has a retarded amount of autoaim on the console versions..really who wants the game to be doing the killing for them?

It's FAR from dead.. In fact i'd say now is the cheapest and easiest time to get into PC gaming... people here just assume its dead because barely anyone on this forum plays PC anymore

I honestly think as long as video games exist PC gaming will always have its place

I dunno why ppl insist on taking sides on this forum.. whats the point.. you're just acting like those fan boy losers who define their life by what video game system they use...STFU

a couple years ago most of you faggots would jump at any chance to diss consoles

seriously, STFU

elstatec · 05-24-2008, 01:29 PM

hey stravis you would still be a big sega fanboy if they still made consoles

i'd play it but i wouldn't give two fucks what other people play.. I've gotten to a point in my life where what video game system other people use doesn't really cross my mind as a concern..

The only way people with a cracked copy of cod4 to play it online on pc is to find a server thats also running a cracked version, theres barely any of these online and any there was were usually laggy as shit. IW update the server lists every so often to incorperate more warezed keys so the chances of being able to play it online for any amount of time is pretty slim.

The gamespy stats say theres about 14,000 people playing the pc version, dunno if that takes into account overall players, players playing now or just servers their gamespy program has listed.

Top Game Servers By Players

1. Half Life 38941 servers, 102669 players

2. Half Life 2 34512 servers, 66937 players

3. Battlefield 2 4255 servers, 14736 players

4. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare 9625 servers, 13916 players

No real argument untill pyro got involved with typing out his script. Just suprising the amount of people in the last year saying pc gaming is on its way out. The tracking data doesn't cover digital downloads so the numbers are skewed pretty badly.
