I still think that $10 is too much for a map pack, especially when games like Halo 3 force you to buy them in order to play certain game types.

Pretty cool, I wonder if Halo 3 and Modern Warfare will also get such apps, they're pretty handy.

You know, I personally don't like Treyarch CoD's. Not my cup of tea. But they have some really good ideas, like this app.

Would it kill Activision to just give IW and Treyarch separate franchises to work with?

Im curious why you feel this way. I own both and rotate back and forth and the only real difference I can see is the obvious WW2 vs Modern one. Other than that, they feel exactly the same.

agreed with fargus except i'll add that COD4 has much smaller maps and WAW has bigger ones.

exactly thats why when i got W@W on my PS3 i got used to the non frag spamming so i havent really touched MW on my 360 for that reason i didnt realize how annoying it was until i played W@W.

I wouldn't go as far as to give Treyarch credit for the companion App. The App, like the site, was made by 2advanced.

CoD:WaW is a solid shooter. Nazi Zombies is a very fun and actually quite unique mode, feeling more like Resident Evil than a fast paced multiplayer game. I had a good time co-oping through the campaign with a friend (one of the better interfaces for co-op on PC), and feel like I got my £15's worth despite never having played a single match of the multiplayer.

Congratulations, bigot! Your PC cost $2000! And you have to update it every 6 months! And you sit in a chair at a desk, while I lounge on my couch surrounded by massive speakers and an even more massive 50" screen! Have fun squinting and moving that mouse!

Absolutely. But like you said (I think I'm recognizing the dialect, Northern American Internet Key-Smash Gibberish, right?) the Treyarch games aren't as well received as the Infinity Ward ones.

PC cabaple of running CoD4 and WaW significantly better than the 360: ~$450
DVI to HDMI adapter: $10
Optical audio cable to sound system: $5

You don't have to upgrade PCs. Only if you want the latest and greatest performance. You can always run new games at reduced settings and they still look better than the 2xAA (or none) 720p (or lower) 0xAF Xbox 360 games.

The 360 and PS3 versions actually run at 1024x600 and WaW at least has trouble maintaining a solid 60FPS. The textures are also severely reduced. AA is limited to 2x and AF appears to be off entirely.

Didn't we just go over this? You keep droning on about that. If you're having such a great time playing the game on your rig, why not suggest it to others rather than trying to belittle others?

Here's a leadership tip: No one cares what a total dick thinks is cool.

But if you came in and said, "Guys, this game can be even better, you can set up a cheap PC and get way more value than with the consoles... Think about it, it's totally worth it", others might get the message of what you're trying to say.

But no. You like to talk down to people. You'll learn eventually.

No, PC's don't cost $2000. And no, someone isn't retarded for preferring a console. No need for fanboyism here.. love the games, not the platform.

Indeed, my PC costs about £400 with my monitors and an 8800GT, I bought it 'last' year and I can still play most games on max settings (apart from Crysis, obviously) with an average framerate of 80-90+ (over 100 on CoD4 and L4D).
It's a myth to say PCs need to constantly be upgraded in order to play the latest and greatest, and that they cost far too much, but at the same time it's silly for fanboys to have their meat to pick at.
Can't we just shut up and play the games, instead of whining about whose platform is better?

I hate being harassed to buy new maps on CoD: WaW, i just hope they remove that crap some time in the future.

Also, i hope the same stats system will be in place for MW2, it would be really sweet :)

$69.99 + tax for the console + $39.99 for the 2400 xb points cards, and that's assuming you didn't buy anything else with the left over points in between map packs.

Don't forget the $59.99 a year fee for xbox live just to play them either.

Hey All,

Quick wake up call about the whole PC vs 360/PS3.

1. HIGH-END (Gaming-type) PCs cost avg. $2000, but custom rig at that price would get you:

CPU: AMD PHenom 9850 (x4) 2.5GHz --> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
RAM: 6GB DDR2 SDRAM (800MHz) ----> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 9800GT ------------> Can play ANY game (including Crysis)
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi HD -> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
TV Tuner: WinTV HD w/ Remote ----------> Add-ON
HDD: 750GB Hitachi 7200RPM S-ATA II -> Can play ANY game (Including Crysis)
Optical Drive: LG Blu-Ray/CD/DVD Super-Multi --> Install Crysis, play anything

How do I know this? Because this is my gaming rig and yes with some extra HDMI Cables, Sound Cables and 360 Controller, you got yourself a 360 Rig up with WAAAY better graphics in native 1080p and free updates.

So thats the upside but here's the downside; you only pay about $500CA (over $2000 for a PC) for a 360 Elite, you get the updates about a month later (to allow 360 market & PS3 market to rack up the dough first) and you have to maintenance AND update your PC (new hardware) every 2 YEARS, NOT 6 MONTHS (gaming will burn out the parts eventually w/ stock cooling, i.e. Graphics Card).

So really, it's just a matter of preference, if you want the best gameplay and have money to spare, get a PC at BEst Buy or Future Shop for $2000, or if your a casual gamer on a budget and don't mind lower graphics go for a 360 or PS3.

Arguing which is better is like over milk & juice: it's a pointless argument.

Personally, I prefer the PC, but that's just my opinion.

Tango32.
