Hi

I was wondering which version of Bad Company 2 would be better. PC or one of the console version? I have a MacBook Pro 13" which has a Nvidia 9400M GPU. If I run BC2 on my Mac (through Bootcamp on Windows) will that look better and perform better (given my GPU) or the console versions?

Secondly, does the PC version like put you on games which have players of your skill level or is it all unbalanced, with super human players playing against beginners and stuff.

Apart from 32 players on the PC and 24 on the consoles, what other differences are there? Which one do you think would be a better buy? (given that I do not have a crazy supercomputer)

The 9400M sucks. Get it on console.

Mouse + Keyboard always >>> joypad, but yeah, as 9400M won't offer superior graphics, get it for consoles.

Mac and games don't sit well together, not just the usual operating system problem, but Mac specs simply are too weak and waaaay too overpriced. You will not be able to play BC2 on a Mac at an acceptable framerate even if the game has everything tuned down to lowest.(thus even looking worse than the console version) I suggest you getting the game on console if you want to play at all, even though I'm an avid fan of PC gaming.

Well it's better on PC, but since your specs aren't quite up to par, you'dget better results on a console.

The PC Version is the superior version, but your graphics card is very weak. Go for the console version.
