Yah, ive been lacking good online play complete with headset chat for a while now, and well, i kinda want it. Lately ive been playin Sarcraft for the multiplayer, but im in the mood for an online Fps. so - what should i get?
360 comes at a reasonable price but im not crazy about the monthly pay, yah call me cheap, but thats what i am.
Wii - Super smash bros brawl comin out soon, ima big fan of it. hellz yah. but no voice-chat :evil:
ps3 Hella expensive...free online play, my cheapometer cant see past the Down-payment, if you will...
PC- I have one, of course, but it sucks. itll be pretty pricey for me to run a smooth game of 64 people when half of them r lagging... u know what i mean?
Im a sheep already tho, i already got a wii, but hey, thats cheap :)
Also, sry if this belongs in another board.

360, unless you want the hassle of finding, researching, and downloading a bunch of programs. Then 360 and the PC would be pretty much the same, excluding 360's young, squeeky voiced, racist, children.

Don't you have to patch 360 games to play them online, too?
Or are you guys stuck with all of the bugs that launched with the game?

If voice chat is really important to you, 360 leads there (in sheer amount of people with mics and ease of use).

Everything else: PC.

depends on what server you play, you will find a few players with headsets on pubs, and everyone will have a headset on a more serious match/server especially if you have a clan.

also bf2 on pc has built in voip

PC is the only platform worth playing BF2 on IMO. (not sure how many people use mics on it, never got it working online..)

But on the original xbox, most people on BF2 had mics.

Well PC has everything you need to get the perfect multiplayer experience. TC I don't get your comment on "half of them are lagging". Lag is an internet issue, won't that affect all other platforms as well?

Fine if thats your opinion.

But I think the 360 is definently better when it comes to voice, infact, how can you get better then standard voice in all games? (correct me if thats wrong) The console comes bundled with a headset in most areas, meaning most people have one.

As for the PC, most games will require you to have another program (Team Speak or Vent for example) to get voice chat at all, however, more and more PC games seem to have built in voice support lately. And not that many people have Mics in my experience.

You know why the PC beats the 360 in terms of voice ? To mute a player inmost games its as simple as hitting tab, then clicking the voice icon for that player on the player list. 360 = a grueling process that if I did it to everyone on XBL that vomited there voice over the mic, my 360 controllers guide button would be worn out by now......

I assume you mean muting people? (edit: your post was updated to be clearer about that now)

I don't think thats a very good reason for saying voice chat on PC > 360. Atleast the 360 offers the mute feature on every single game. Although it is slightly annoying to do it, Halo 3 makes it easy though.

There's no monthly pay for live, its $50 for a year (or 13 months). Some people say its pricey but heck, you can play every xbox and xbox 360 game with it online instead of just one game, World of Warcraft, for $180 a year.

On Halo 3 its just Back Button then X on the players name on the leaderboard.

a fair amount...but if you download the project reality mod for it...then their are tons...and even if people dont use mics...they still use teamwork.
