What are the differences between COD4 on consoles and on PC?

I have all three versions of COD4. First, I got the PS3 version, mainly because it was the game I was most interested in when I first got my PS3. Then, to play with my friends, I got the 360 version. Finally, when I got back into PC gaming, I got the PC version. I wish I just skipped through all that crap and got the PC version. It is definitely superior. Of course, you have the better graphics and controls, but you also have user made mods and maps, more players in the servers, and finally (and I think this is the most important) you actually get to choose what map you actually want to play! For the person that said there have always been 300k players in the 360 version compared to the PC version which has 10k, that is absolutely incorrect. That number has dropped substantially because xbots always play whats popular, and immediately moved to the inferior World at War. On the other hand, COD4's community was practically unaffected. Also, the real reason why at a time, COD4 on the 360 was more popular than the PC version is because in general, games sell better on the 360. More people own the game, thus more people are probably playing it.

AA, more dead bodies, softer smoke, little bit better graphics. Its much more fun imo, its all faster and theres custom matches, maps, weapons and other stuff.

I also love playing consoles on my 50 inch plasma that will last me 10 years,rather than having to upgrade a pc for the same prices each year. I also love that graphics on consoles are better than pc games, except crysis, but that's just one game and crysis 3 is being made for consoles and will look just as good.

nah brah's, 150,000 playing in 1 day from xfire, is not a big deal. thats basically 10,000 different people on each hour. if on xbox there's 150,000 different people on each hour, that's 1.5 million+ on during the whole day. you can't compre 150,000 on at all times on 360 to 150,000 total players in a day on xfire. that's like saying 100 people ate at my restaurant today, and another guy saying 100 people are in my restaurant at all times. one of them get 100 customers a day, the other gets 1,000 customers a day.... see the difference? and on 360 people didn't just play it bc it's popular, it's community is just as big as it was ayear ago, infact it's the only game that's been out for a year and a half and it's still 60 bucks new and like 55 used. and mods blow. i'm gonna be buying another copy of it on 360 after exams, even if you all flame me for my opinion on here. it's nice to see some defense tho, most people on pc forums seem to complain about pc dying and consoles getting all the good stuff.

that 150000 is ONLY xfire users

Link add those 10000-20000 playing at any given moment at xfire with those 35000 you get a good amount amount of pc players playing COD4.

I didn't say that, you said ;) and if you were thinking about CoD 4 PC when you said matchmaking, well it has no such thing and you don't have to be logged in to see the number of players (something which I can do in a few seconds, since I have it installed). Think about it now, on Xbox you have to log on in the game to see the number of players, how can you do that if you don't have it? ;)

Sorry, forgot to keep you up to date ;) Players: 33,481 / 291,968 (in case you're wondering, the 2nd number is the average number of players in the last 24h).

I also love playing consoles on my 50 inch plasma that will last me 10 years, rather than having to upgrade a pc for the same prices each year.
