| Hawkeye said: Downsides: smaller community of RL people to play with have to play online, have to know how to build a PC and then build it, imo fewer games than consoles. Also, can you use a 360 controller for PC gaming? Not being able to use a gamepad ruins alot of games, but keyboard mouse is better for some games (RTS and FPS springs to mind) so its a trade off. |
I've played COD with 60 people online, seemed big enough to me.
You don't have to build anything. Buy a basic cheap $300 box with a decent CPU load up full memory and a good graphic card and you are good to go with a pretty damn good gaming PC. If you don't feel comfortable even putting in a graphic card or memory the geeky guys at Best Buy or Circuit City will do it for you for a few bucks.
You can get awide selection of gamepads for the PC although why anyone would want one of those archaic pieces of crap is beyond me.
