Just wanted to get people's opinions.  I've been playing Command and Conquer 3 on the 360 for a week now.  I've pretty much decided on buying it.  But what I need to decided is whether to get it on the Xbox or PC.  The Xbox version is great but i always feel that the RTS experience is dampened on the Console version.  Not really sure which one to go with so I want to get some opinions in on here.

I see no reason to get the 360 version over PC if you have a good PC.

Agreed. The 360 version is done capably, but you're better off with the PC version if you can handle it. If you've got really good hardware, it'll also look better on the PC. But if you're on an old PC, get it for 360 because it is actually implemented much better than I could have imagined.

Halo 3 is a joke from what I've seen of the beta. FPSs will NEVER have more control with a controller than with a mouse (Possible exception could be the Wii-mote at some point). A controller is not as good as a mouse/keyboard when it comes to these genres.

I prefer the 360 version because of the achievements and better community. With the PC just get ready for a lot of cheating and hacking.

You are obviously not that good at games. I can play an FPS with either a controller or mouse. IMO a mouse just makes it too easy and the controller is more realistic with the vibrations etc. A mouse is just point and click....how realistic is that?

So a controller is realistic? When have you shot someone with a frisbee? Oh wait, never. And you're pretty ignorant to come to the conclusion that I must not be good at FPSs since I prefer mice to controllers. Realism does not equal ease of use, which is what I was commenting on. (Not which one seems "more realistic") And is realism a factor in RTSs? No.

Did I say the controller is realistic? The mouse is just tooo easy and like I said I can play fine with either it makes no difference to me. I was just playing Halo 2 on the Pc with the mouse then  i plugged the controller in and it did not make any difference.

Some people prefer to carry on this mouse is better than controller argument but to me it makes no difference at all.

Essentially you're agreeing with me, Deihmos, but in the wrong way. A mouse is easier to use, is what I said.

Even though the mouse is easy to use the controller works well plus the xbox live community is much better than the PC cheating community. In the long run if you prefer the easy to use mouse and don't mind cheating and hacking then go with the PC version.

  In my opinion, controllers are better, and that's what matters. Halo is best, don't hate.

The controls work very well for the 360 version, but you can never beat the speed and precision of a mouse for RTS games. Several times I've been frustrated because the cursor keeps locking on to units I don't want to select and I can't jump around the map quickly. It's a great game on the 360, but if you have a PC capable of running it on high settings (and it isn't a particularly demanding game either) then I would go for that simply because the mouse.

Had the same problems when I was playing.  Also Its hard to select certain groups on the Xbox Version and sometimes it will select all units from across the map.  I think im pretty set on getting the PC version.  Thanks for the input guys.
