So I'm debating on getting Call of Duty : Black Ops on the PC or XBOX 360.

All of my friends have Xbox 360, and it's much easier.

But i'm not sure if it's that much better on PC to go for PC.

I've never played any of the CoD's on PC...

Well except for one.

Anyway, what system should I go for?

Thanks .

I'd say get the Xbox version. While PC gets dedicated servers and overall better graphics, friends always makes the game more fun (unless they are noobs ;) ).

Friends are the only reason to buy console ports. So, yeah. Get 360 if they mean that much to you.

You're friends will be playing quite a lot of this game. Great way to spend some time with them and the Xbox version has split screen online.

I'll be picking up black ops for wii but because i have online friends to play with... which leads to my point, you said you have friends on xbox..so.. I think your best bet will be buying black ops for 360.

I don't think it's worth it to get it on wii. Between the horrible graphics and inferior multiplayer it's not really worth it even with friends

Sometimes I wonder how many sales Activision would lose if the "because my friends are getting it" reason didnt exist. :roll:

Multiplayer games on PC often have tons of newbies, so play it on the xbox 360, its probably noob free there. OR you can just play it on PS3.

Whichever.

The PC version is going to have dedicated servers this time around, but it will still be a port and CoD is best with friends. Its really not even a question, friends first with MP games, always.

PC. Not really an online 360 player so don't have any friends. I also like the accuracy that a mouse can bring.

Fragnstein, and it works for almost all FPS games including all COD games.

Or if you are like me, you get it on both... I have more friends playing on the 360, but a few on pc too, so for a few games I buy them on both (left 4 dead 1 and 2, modern warfare 1 and 2). Yes, i know, not the cheapest option, but I spent my fair share of time on both versions ;)

Gaming with friends is great, but if the game is **** there's no point. Go for the PC version, as it will support dedicated servers, which means the game might actually be worth playing.

Black Ops has split screen online play? MW2 didn't and neither did CoD4, don't remember if WaW did or not.

i really hope you get a shot of BF2,CSS or ArmA one day....

consoles are full of camping little scrubs who beast w/e weapon is the most powerful and tbh MW2 should have came with a build yourself a campfire kit on consoles...if that were PC you would have got kicked from that lobby quicker than you could say nuke.(doesnt apply to Mw2 PC THO.)

inb4 camping is a legit strategy..

Exclusive/timed DLC is another good reason, in my opinion, despite the offerings the modding community may have.

Personally I'd go with the 360 if I were you. Multiplayer games are always better with friends.

What difference will that "advantage" make when the dlc is going to be over priced?
