so since I have a good enough PC to make it look great and run well enough, and I only have an SDTV for my xbox 360.

MW2 would look better on my PC, but Im not sure I want it on the PC. What Im asking is if the multiplayer is more fun on the PC or xbox 360. Im not looking for whining about how they took away dedicated servers, I'm asking if the PC multiplayer is buggy or less fun than xbox live. Are there less people online than on xbox live, less games, does it take longer to get in a server? is the difference enough to sacrifice the better graphics I'll have on my PC with HD resolution?

There are way more people online on XBL than the PC, its a pretty huge gap one time i was playing there was like 60,000 playing on PC and i went to switch over to xbox and there was around 450,000 playing. I Have noticed the PC has some bugs that the console doesnt have sometimes the matchmaking will get caught in a loop and you have to back out and then go back in, not anything gamebreaking just annoying, i have noticed way more lag on PC version in comparison to Xbox, perhaps not enough good hosts are online or it has something to do with IWnet idk for sure. I've also noticed its faster usually getting into a game on the PC version but they are pretty close to one another most of the time. If you have more friends on xbox live then definately go for that otherwise i'd recommend the xbox over the PC but i can't stand SDTV grahpics, HDTV got my spoiled lol

Not a great deal of difference. I haven't experienced much lag on PC though. Visuals might be a bit better on PC.

Even if xbox has more players online, it's not going to make a squat of difference to you. Even with 60,000 online with the pc, there is never going to be a shortage of people to play with through matchmaking. You still always get selected to a server within seconds, and it is always maxed out with players.

Well, what is your personal preference?

Mouse and keyboard? Or conroller?

The graphics on PC will always be better, however more people play on Xbox Live, and yeah like people said before sometimes you will get caught in an annoying loop of games filling up then emptying, but happens not enough to make it gamebreaking. Other than that the multi is just as fun, and it coems down to whether you want controller or mouse and keyboard. Personally, I believe all FPS should be played with keyboard and mouse for maximum efficienecy, thats just me.

More noobs on xbox. I played on my friend's xbox (I didn't own one at the time) With my poor xbox skills, I somehow got a 2 kdr in most online games I was playing in. Just wow.. Not saying xbox players are all noobs, but there seems to be more. (mainly because there's just more people)

The PC version is better,but only because of the Keyboard+Mouse control.

The PC version for better visuals and controls.
The Xbox 360 version if you're interested in playing online a good deal, as there's undoubtedly more people playing on XBL.

Isn't that because of the matchmaking system?

You should get the PC version even with the crippled multiplayer, there are over 170,000 players at any given moment so go figure, the 360 version would probably have 3 times that many players, however me personally I dont play FPS on a console

I don't know why people keep reccomending the Xbox version for the increase in multiplayer numbers because 100k is still more than enough to play with/against. The only reason I can think of getting the Xbox version over the PC is the achievements on Xbox Live. That's the only reason.

Just because they think that they gonna hurt IW or something, but all they do is kill the pc version, that means less people to play with!!!
