console vs. computer gamers.

that would be great...so which is better console gamers or computer gamers? lol

The console gamers won't stand a chance unless you can hook up a mouse and keyboard. The mouse/keyboard combo is so much more responsive=console gamers owned in first person shooters.

depends on what the computer gamers get.. if they get to use the mouse to strafe,shoot and buy(these are my preferences) and the keyboard to buy and move so forth.. then i see the computer gamers to teh advantage..

then again i dont see this working.. there will be "lag issues" hehehe

Well, if it's a console vs. a keyboard/mouse, I guarantee you the mouse will win. Any type of shooter, etc, gives a HUGE advantage to a mouse user, as you are so much more accurate with a mouse that you can ever be with a joystick.

Granted, I've got a 360, and I will most definitely get Halo 3, but are they releasing Halo 3 for the PC at the same time? Sounds like it.

PC FTW!

There not going to dumb down the pc games, PC users will be superior, the console community is largely not tech savvy, and the mouse/keyboard will beat a controller any day.

Silver = nothing new; Gold = cross platform

For those who don't RTFA...you'll be paying $50 a year to play with XBox360 owners from your PC. That free "silver" tier is free because it's basically what you get from a game that has any multiplayer mode to complement the single player mode -- free multiplayer between PCs.

Gold tier -- if they're not going to add more decent games soon (besides Halo 2), $50 is like paying for another PC game anyway. One that most players will have already finished anyway on their console.

This should've waited until Halo 3 was released on XBox360 with a much sooner PC release.

Still $50 a year is pretty cheap considering. You can pay more than that in MMO games

I know a few Xbox users that I would love to kill over and over again.

If they can control cheating

Even on the closed HW service platform they have issues with cheaters. Opening it to PC will just make it worse.

Pc user has to pay?!

Why the hell would I want to pay extra just to play against 10 yr olds on a console? Hope these 'games for vista' keep free multiplayer for just against pc users.

If I wanted to play against 10 yr olds and wanted to toss an extra 50$ out the window I would of went with console. BTW pc users will slaughter console users.

"Windows Vista Users Onry!"

Another oh-so-subtle push by MS to force ppl to choke down Vista. No thanks!

expect price cut the same time.

May 8th will also be the date for the price cut. black xbox loaded with doodads for $399 or the current premium for $299. Core is going away.

You mean you can't do that with a 360? You can with a PS3.

pointless.

OK why have a game on the pc if i still have to have a Xbox live account? Ms is getting more money hungry everyday.

Who really cares about gaylo anymore. Really now only kids play that game. I sold both halo's long time ago.

Doom 3, Gears of war, FEAR much better games then Halo.
