is it worth it? do a lot of people play it? i don't want to buy it and then there be no serves. I love it on pc, but it crashes all the time and is so buggy, so i just play against the bots, but even then it crashes a lot. So I really want it on 360 with my 50 inch tv, but do a lto play it? are there always a bunch of servers?

not many people online...and although it uses unreal engine the graphics aren't really up to par with games like Gears of War, Mass Effect, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 ect. so it's your call:?

I saw this in an epic thread

Just don't get the 360 version. I'm sure someone will explain why, but in summary, the 360 version:
-Does not support user mods
-Will probably never get the Titan Expansion Pack
-Is slower than the PC version
-Has a very small community

The PS3 version:
-Supports user mods to an extent
-Has problems with custom sounds
-Has the Titan Pack
-Is slower than the PC version
-Has a decent-sized community

The PC version:
-Has full user mod support
-Has the Titan Pack
-Has a small, but decent community
-Is faster than the console versions

It is more arcade like, it has power ups and health packs. I gave it a 9, probably deserved an 8.5 though. Good game for the time it lasted, fun with a lot of people playing, but i am not sure if there are as much people playing it.

If it were last summer i'd say absolutely pick it up for the 360 but right now i'd say no. It's kinda sad.. unless it's halo or gears the online modes of a game are only populated for the first couple months.

i originally had the same feeling i tryed it on my friends comp do to the fact my comps old and worthless now, but besides that i wanted to see what it was like on the 360. personally i think modding adds to the longevity of the title. for instance Oblivion and UT 2004 and u will never usually get modding on a console. plus the quick reaction timing that UT needs you will have a huge problem with on a console. i found this out the hard way and ended up not even being able to play it. so personally your best bet is to save up some £ $ to buy a new comps u can get a top of the line for $1400 £880. pretty cheap lately.

over all keep the PC version or rent it for the console to see what u think

I got it for $8 on Gamefly....The community on 360 is...well...not really there....PS3 version has a little more but it's really not worth it unless you get it for next to nothing

There are always servers with real people (as opposed to bots) on the 360 version. If you play PC shooters, and your PC can run it, that's probably a better choice. If you can get it cheap, though, there's no reason not to play it on 360.
