This always gets brought up on XBL, so I wanted to see what the intellegent side of Xbox gamers had to say.

Yeah, R63:BA.

Personally, I hated counterstrike when I played it on Xbox. Rainbow defenitely has its own [significant] flaws, but it is still the best FPS game on Live

Rainbow just seemed to play better. It also had WAY better graphics and sound. The maps are generally well thought out, and promote good teamwork. The weapons are cool, although there is probably about 1/10th as many weapons in the Xbox one as the PC R63.

As for Rainbow's flaws...the aiming is too twitchy and not nearly as smooth as it should be; nothing like how smoothly Halo controls. The damage from bullets makes no sense at all sometimes; I can think of many, many times when I've shot a terrorist or Live opponent in the face, watched them not even flinch, then proceed to kill me. Also, chest/torso shots will either cause no damage at all, or take off one 'bar' of health. In the PC game, one shot with almost any gun will drop you.

The ranking system is worthless and is way too easy to cheat. Leaning/leanwalking is a crappy gameplay device, since 'skill' boils down to who can take advantage of leaning the best.
