Xbox 360
+ I play my 360 A LOT more than my PC
Start playing your PC more than your 360
Why? My 360 library IS HUUUUGE, and many more games I want come out on 360 than PC.
+ 360 version looks fairly comparable to PC version so far in terms of graphics and gameplay
Well, that's not really an advantage over the PC.
+ I prefer the joypad for shooters
Kind of in response to your response to the people who think that a controller is worse, but running is just as simple, going to prone is faster (push a button rather than hold one down for a second(actually, I have no idea how prone will work on consoles)), and I don't quite understand how a controller has a better layout than a keyboard when you can't look around, aim, and shoot while jumping, reloading, or arming a bomb very well on a controller.
As for driving and piloting, I like being able to take a look around me while doing those things. (alt button)
In reality, it all comes down to personal preference and which one you started with, so this means no one can convince you on this point.
+ I'll at least be able to talk to people while I play single player and am in a Squad.
Third party VoIP programs and in-game chat?
No, as in there will just be no one worth talking to.
+ I've played the last 2 BF games (Bad Company 1+2) on the 360
So?
+ Minor Bonus: A stack of new achievements to pad my Gamerscore with
That's always good.
Ok then, onto the next part.
PC
+ With my brand new gaming PC I might actually get better performance out of the game than on 360 for once
+ I've played all the other BF games on PC
Not much to say about that.
+ 64 player battles, larger maps
+ DLC and patches likely to faster, cheaper
These really weigh in more heavily than anything else to me.
+ Despite all claims, DICE clearly seems to be paying more attention to PC than console
- Likely to be few good 64 servers
Just stick to those few good ones.
If they can be found.
- 64 players unlikely to much better than in previous BFs, where maps still often felt empty and the pace slow
Have you played 2142 Assault Lines with 64 people? That gets crazy.
Yeah...on Leipzig and the other Northern Strike map. Thats about it.
That just depends on the community you play with. Mine, for example...actually wait, that sounds kind of arrogant. I'll just say they're nicer than most people.
- Play in complete silence in both single and multiplayer
In-game voice chat, third party VoIP programs(Skype, Ventrilo) again.
I'm getting the PC version.
And to your below post, yes, it's all opinion. That statement was pure, solid opinion. Just the fact that people disagree with that and actually have a truth to their arguments means it was an opinion.
And not moving any fingers to go prone/stay crouched?
Your argument is a little self-defeating, in the fact that half of the actions you can take on a console require moving your right thumb off of the thumbstick that lets you aim or taking your finger off the trigger to push a shoulder button.
The only thing you need stop aiming for is Jumping, Reloading, Changing Weapons or activating something (IE: Get in vehicle, arm bomb etc). All of those things stop you from shooting or don't require aiming during, so you're safe. At the very worst, you can just claw the the right hand side of your controller, meaning you never have to move anything to do one of those actions.
