I have a question concerning on what platform I should buy the game for. Is it better on PC or the Xbox 360?

I hear that it was a terrible console port on the PC side, so I don't know.

This is true. However with one small download you can increase the games resolution and unlock it to 60fps.

The controls are terrible though - you will need a game pad to play it effectively.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

I've actually heard PS3 is the best platform for it, and that's what I played it on-but I'm guessing you don't have a PS3, since you didn't list it? In that case, go for 360 unless you're willing to go to a bit of hassle for PC.

It's fine on PC if you use an Xbox 360 controller.

Get it for PC the community is going to be more active because of the steam sale.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

OP that is up to you.

If you like playing it on a certain console get it for that.

I would normally say get it for PC if you normally play on that but the port sounds bad.

What are these first person words you speak of?

If you want to play on PC, now is a good time to get it with the steam sale and whatnot.

Just download the resolution fix, and use an xbox controller and you will be set.

However if you want to play without hassle, and just want to know your game is playable, and probably have a more social experience, then go get the xbox version.

That's right. I just dropped some AOL IM protocol.

PS3 - for size of population
Xbox - second best
