Difference between MW2 Console and PC

Can someone tell me the difference from the 360 and PS3 versions to the PC version? And why is PC review taking so long :(

The PC version has mouse support and graphical settings.

That's what I figured, yet why is user reviews for PC at 5.3 while for consoles it's at 9.0 (esp since PC seems to be better)? Is this just a backlash by people angry about IWnet? And console gamers aren't upset because they never had anything that they just lost?Syrenz

They both only have 9vs9 multiplayer right?

Don't forget about in game text chat support.

IMO the game isn't worth more than $20. MAYBE $25. Why? Because it's basically a 4.5/5 hour campaign, they screwed us on the multiplayer, and there's no matchmaking for Special Ops, meaning that you have to invite a friend to play...No-more online buddys because there's no dedicated servers... and for $60...thats a joke

tbh I don't really care about online buddy spec ops as the main thing I was planning on getting out of Spec Ops was playing with my bros. Anyways can you be a little more specific about "they screwed us on the multiplayer"?

People keep saying that but no one really says much except for: No dedicated servers

No big matches

I'd like to hear what the other reasons are if there are any

Also is Spec Ops possible on two different computers in the same house with the same Steam acct?

EDIT: Interesting review gamsterphoenix thx

P2P = random lag, particularly bad if you do not live in North America or if thehost has poor internet
Possible advantages for host considering they have0 ping compared to the rest
No mods, from largegame changing mods to sounds/skins
Limited options, no setting extremely high score/long lasting games
Likely have to pay for DLC
No competitive gameplay unless IW does it (unlikely after the whole backlash)
Always matched according to skill (like it or hate it)
Randomly selected map all the time
Randomly selected opponents all the time

The pc is the best gaming platform available and game developers are expected to take advantage of the platforms abilities. cod6 is more or less identical on all formats, the reason why the pc version is getting low review scores is for that exact reason. The pc isn't a console, it shouldn't have p2p multiplayer.

The pc version is still the best version, it just isn't all that it could have been.

No lag for me.

The maps and opponents aren't random if you set up a private match. Takes 2 seconds to invite people from Steam.

This.

The reason why PC gamers aren't being specific is because if you're used to playing MP shooters on a PC, all of the reasons quite literally go without saying.

Apparently there's not even a setup screen at start. You have to enter the game and hit escape just to customize your controls. The whole thing screams "it's on PC just because, and we frankly don't care if anyone wants to play this on the PC."

The onlyreason to get this on PC is for the mouse and keyboard. That is it. Otherwise, it's just a multiplayer shooter with a smaller community than the consoles. The PC gamers are pissed because the Call of Duty brand started on the PC and gained its name because of its fantastic PC gameplay, and they completely and utterly abandoned the PC.

the game is not balance for that! LMAO
