Think we will ever be able to cross-system online play in a FPS?

Pretty much the topic, im just wondering because i would love to play BC2 in a PS3 Vs. 360 player game, i think it would be fun. Im not very up to date on what these systems can do but just wondering if this could happen in the future.

I think Shadowrun is an FPS (maybe not, my memory is a bit rusty), and it can be played cross-platform, PC and X360.

that'd be pretty epic if they had a massive multiplayer game where you had to capture territory for your platform

no.. a person playing on PSN will never get to play with someone on XBL.

Wouldn't be that fair also. Someone playing on PSN can play with the same community of people as someone that pays for XBL. But who know, anything can happen in business.

It won't work.

PC has the home advantage when it comes to shooters. If the crossplatform online multiplayer thing was to be used, it should be used in a situation where the 360 and PC lack any sort of advantage. Perhaps it might work for danmaku shoot-em-ups, platformers, and 2d fighting games.

That would be pretty interesting..

We already had. Quake 3 Arena, dreamcast players could play against PC gamers... needless to say, the dreamcast players were always brutally owned so they removed that featureGTR2addict

They did it back with the PS2 and Xbox for a tourny with Battlefield Modern Combat. It IS possible, but the differences between the online frameworks both systems work with make it difficult.

They should so do that with.....whatever the next big multiplat FPS is. Unless it's CoD. Activision can go **** themselves.

Imagine the chaos on the mics!!
