Should I get Bad Company 2 on PC or on PS3?

Hi, I'm going to get Bad Company 2 when it gets released but I'm not sure on which version to go with. I have a gaming PC with an HD4870 and a Quad Core CPU(see the rest in sig) and I also own a PS3 with an 5.1 sound system and a 46" HDTV. Which version do you guys think is the best overall? Thanks.

I had to make this choice too. Choose whichever one more of your friends are on. If that isn't an issue then go with pc: better graphics, probably get DLC faster, and I prefer the keyboardfor shooters.

I'd probably say PS3.

The thing I don't understand is: why aren't games of this nature cross-compatible online? I think we should be at the point in time when the gaming community should be integrated enough that online games are cross-platform compatible online.jalexbrown

get it on the platform your friends will be playing it on.

If you have a top notch rig, then the advanced graphics and 32 players might make the PC version better. If you have more friends on PS3 or a not so great rig then thePS3 version might be for you.

get it on ps3, you'll enjoy it alot more

Do you like playing games on the PC? If you do, you might go with that.

*Bad Company 2 also has dedicated servers for the PC, sothat's another advantage.

Of course, both systems sound good, and it sounds like you have a really nice setup either way, just depends on which system you have more fun with, sitting at a computer or in front of a TV.

*thanks to dgsag for the tip

Do you like playing games on the PC? If you do, you might go with that. People were angry about MW2 on PC for not having dedicated servers, not sure if Bad Company 2 is putting them in, but if they are, that might make playing on PC another advantage. Of course, both systems sound good, and it sounds like you have a really nice setup either way, just depends on which system you have more fun with, sitting at a computer or in front of a TV.juden41
