11 registered users every month? Again where's this info coming from? The commerials advertise "10 million people have experienced it already" so id assume they wouldn't deflate there number

Still waiting on that CS link....

Why, thank you for asking.

http://www.blizzard.com/us/press/080915.html

10.9 million active. ;)

By the way, for the final nail in the coffin, there are roughly 18 million MMORPG players every single month.

There is some truth to that statement

Steam does Whatever XBL does for free

Mod Supported, the only console game is UT3 that is mod supported and that failed online

Much bigger community/forums

Usually Free updates for games (see TF2)

NOT under a unified system (Freedom is awesome)

and many others, i could list a few but you should get the point...and Xfire does "Nothing", it was made for a reason..but sense Steam is taking the spotlight in the online gaming community not many people use Xfire that much

PC gameing, for the most part, IS lag free, unless its a server problem or your own every PC game runs lag free, i had more console games with glithces/lag than TF2 so far.

PC gaming online is the best, and will continue to be, the only thing even close to it is XBL, Nintendos and Sonys suck so far, and XBL is leauges behind what be can offer and all of it for free.

No, pc gaming online is much smaller than XBL. And forums? You realize that pc gaming online =/= internet

Not being unified is good? Seriously?

As lag free as console games

You really think that as a whole, there are more constant pc players than XBL players?

Seriously?

And by that I mean someone who plays constantly online. I play TF2 online, but that's just one game.

given that WoW alone has more users than the entire XBL community...and that counterstrike, a 10 year old game is more popular than Halo 3...yes.

wow has a total lifetime players of 10 million. yea? so. I had 3 accounts. I again dont pc game constantly, I just do it for a couple of games.

And CS is more popular than Halo 3? I want a link to this :lol:

no, it has 11 million ACTIVE accounts.

as for Counter Strike...I just checked...Halo 3 has slightly more players playing online right now...but Counter Strike is more widespread...and as a result gets more unique users every day.

can I have the link?

Because something tells me you're comparing CS's last week/month to Halo 3's activity at this moment.

You do understand that every day almost a million different people play Halo 3?

And that's not even taking into account that multiple people share xbl accounts where they'd jsut create seperate ones for the pc.

----> I think that statement summarizes it. Pc gamers talk out of... ah.. I won't go there.

[QUOTE="Gamer4535"][QUOTE="agentfred"]

[QUOTE="Gamer4535"]not really. they dont have less lag,redstormrisen

Sure they do.

and dedicated servers really dont do much.Gamer4535

Yes they do.

more players? yea, sure. but truth is, your not going to get above 64 anywhere.Gamer4535

Yes you can.

I hope I answered your questions. :P

So explain to me how Halo 3 is how it is. seriously.

as lag free as TF2. Actually, probably has less.

PC gaming online revolves aroudn this statement "It's the best because..."

And really- people quit mid game so much. I don't think there's many pc fps games where the teams will be constant.

Latency. Halo 3 is latency ridden. I can choose servers my continent on any steam game, but I'm stuck on a US host 95% of the time when playing a game of Halo 3. Being half a second behind everyone else is quite a big handicap.

Seeing as I have the choice to only use UK based servers, instead of filtering by "language" (thats going to work) I can completely avoid this problem.

You have that option in Halo 3.

Sort by- Quickest, My Language, Best Connection.

I meant P2P is the sence that the game is hosted by a user, and not by a dedicaded and independent server.

what this means is that anyone one persons lag will effect everybody else.

but it doesn't.

peer to peer means essentially that everyone is getting their data from everyone else. There is no main source. Each player will upload their info to everyone else and everyone will download it from everyone else.

Server hosted means that players will upload it to the server and everyone will download it from it.

Client hosted means everyone will upload it to a the host and everyone will download it form them.

Halo uses a mixture of the latter 2.
