Both CoD 4 and 5 were equal when it came to campaigns. The 360 had a slightly better graphics version but not noticeable.

It is the online part that really determines these games. CoD 4 and 5 both had much better online play on Xbox Live and I expect the same to be true of MW2. The reason is because on Xbox Live MS handles everything and it just works right in with MS's matchmaking system. On PSN Infinity Ward has to develop all that themselves and host any servers themselves.  And I am speaking from experience with both PS3 and 360 versions of MW and WaW.  The PS3 version was far laggier online and had more server/host disconnects.

So that would be the difference. If you have both consoles and value online play above all else, you should almost always get the 360 version, and I am willing to bet it will be the same with MW2 as well.

I haven't experienced any lag/disconnects while playing WaW on the PSN ever. I also don't see whats wrong with the matchmaking system on PSN, everything worked perfectly.

 

The fact that you say you never experienced ANY lag/disconnects shows you are not being honest.  They both use P2P so even on PSN you will have issues with lag and disconnects just like on 360.  From my personal experience and that of everyone I know that has the PS3 version, it is far worse online than the 360 version.  Where are you located?

They both use peer to peer. So any lag that can occur on PSN can also happen on Live. From my experience playing it on both it was far laggier on Live for the game that I played.

That being said I hate COD so will not purchase on any platform.

Your connection depends on the connection of the game hoster. If the game hoster has a crappy connection, then 3/4 of the players will also have crappy connection.

 

MW2's online has been improved. Hosts changes in-game, which is a pretty cool thing.

I will show you the Facts.

Xbox 360 :

More / Better Players , Better Community , Better Controller (Opinion) , Better ONLINE --> Xbox Live (Parties , LagLESS , Not host disconects all the Time , Xbox Live is just the best online service out there ... it only does everything , easy conections with all your friends , Timed Exclusive DLC) and ALSO Xbox 360 is the Lead Development Console.

PlayStation 3 :

Free Online but not even 10% as good as Xbox Live.

Thats it.

It varies.  You probably find about one or 2 laggy matches for every 10 good ones on Xbox Live just because of distance, poor host choice, etc.  On PSN it seemed like I couldn't find a single match where half the room wasn't yellow pinging.  Perhaps they have improved it within recent months.  I haven't played CoD4 in a year now on PSN and I haven't played WaW in about 3 or 4 months.

 

 

Really? Seems like I couldn't find a match with yellow bars if I wanted to.....

Ok that's overexaggerating, but yeah....pretty much everygame I join is guaranteed green.

 

To be serious though, maybe you're experiencing the placebo effect, it's not an uncommon thing you know (anyone remember the "fake" KZ2 deadzone fix?). You just seem so determined to glorify the 360 version 

People really do love to take things out of context just to have an argument, don't they?  I have already stated many times the possible causes of what I experienced, as well as relayed that my experienc with CoD4 was from a year ago and WaW as of 4 months ago.  Things could have changed since then.  Also, perhaps it is just that not many people within 300-500 miles of me have the game and fit the matchmaking needs.....  Although I never have that problem on the 360 version (which could be again due to the 360 having double the userbase in the US).

@kyliedog

I do know what I am talking about.  Just because you haven't a clue, doesn't mean you can call it tripe.  I never once said lag wasn't player based, but when the servers hosting the matchmaking and leaderboards has issues, it leads to disconnects.  Also, it could just be because of more people on wireless connections which can drop or spike randomly that is the cause of more lag/disconnects.

I am giving you truthful firsthand experiences I had with these games as well as all of my friends that live around me.  So maybe it is just my area, but you have no right saying what I experienced never happens or is all tripe.

How did you come to the conclusion XBL has better players?

Lag less? you obviously think that because you only own a 360

stealing the PS3 catch phrase...

COD4 had a lead development team for each version...so I assume MW2 does

Gotta give him credit for putting opinion on one of the things he wrote. When really most of them are.



I have COD4 on 360 and it gives me no problems.
W@W on PSN will seemingly randomly not let me and my friends party up for Nazi Zombies or competitive. Apparently this was also an issue with PS3 COD4.

I still would prefer getting the PS3 version as I trust IW to fix those small issues and I dont see a big reason to continue with Gold when its free on PSN.



i owned both verisons of cod 4 and waw and both consoles looked the same.
and on my 360 there was lag and time out error's just as much or more
then the ps3 verisons and thats with wired internet and open nat

What facts I don't see any?



Well Modern Warfare was on par with the 360 version for PS3, so I'd have to assume Modern Warfare 2 will be too.
