The problem with PC is that not everyone who has a PC can play MW2 but everyone with a 360 can play MW2.

The other thing is that while a console game generally just works with no extra messing with the settings, there are endless amounts of things you may or may not have to do to get a PC game to work.

That's usually where the trade off is.

-edit-

And I'm not trying to say consoles or PC's are better, I'm just saying that those reasons along with just less support in general is usually why PC versions score lower.

I play console games too.  I just do most of my online gaming on PC, and never realized there wasn't a similar server browser setup on XBox and Playstation.

I've played a few Wii games online, but people always talk about how awful the Wii online is (friend codes ugh) compared to XBL... but it sounds like XBL isn't much better at all.

I had to quote this - Wii owns LIVE? Oh wow.

well you can say that PC online is as much better than the 360 online than the 360 is to the wii.  

 

and not everyone being able to play the game on pc means jack shit.  that has nothing to do with this discussion.  when comparing things you don't compare it with teh worst possible computer playing on 56k and lowest possible settings or not even compatitable.  you have to compare it to what most have cable internet/dsl, and with a computer that is capable and won't lag due to computer problems.    Otherwise your just picking and choosing, like hey lets compare it then to a RROD'ed 360, then that's fair.  

 

some peopel get so defensive over their precious console and try and bash the pc then.  Fine your pc can't play a game, who cares.  But you can't bash a computer game and being shitty because you can't play it.  You guys are picky over the smallest little graphics, or half second load time between the 360 and ps3, yet then you automatically say that no one has a computer to play those games, becasue too high, or they can't play on max.  seriously, shut up.   The people who have pc games and are tlaking about them obviously do and if you can lip off about your extra pixels or shading, why shoudlnt' they be able to gloat in your face how much better theirs is.  

 

and is kind of funny how reviewers are picky over what they dock.  they bash wii games as having inferior online comparing to the hd twins, yet the hd twins online isn't ever compared to the superior pc online.  why not, why the double standard?  Wii games are compared to hd twins graphics (when game on all 3(4)) yet the hd games aren't compared to max graphics on PC?  Or DS grahpics compared to PSP sometimes.  

 

I mean hell how come only graphics are compared, and seems only to diss their non-hardcore systems.  Reviews should never be comparing things ever.  The game should be reviewed for what it is.  not what it doesn't have, or what a different console does compared to this.  

 

Us gamers are lucky that our industry is being reviewed and all that by gamers who love gaming, many industries people lose their love and its just a job.  But we are the least lucky in that we are plagued with our greatest fault in the FANBOY.  you don't see movie critics bashing great movies like Titanic or Notebook or other's because they aren't manly, or hardcore, or their type of movie.  they review it for what it is, not what they want.
