    I can't decide which would be better to play on.  Voice chat seems like it will be pretty important in this game, and I don't have a mic for PC. But the PC will most likely have downloadable content. 


    What do you think, and which do you plan on buying?

    PC. Since Valve is primarily a PC developer. Also, I don't have a 360.

    PC, because I don't have a 360, and because considering it's valve the PC version will be slightly better

    PC at least for me anyways. Everything that comes out for it will be free(mods, extra levels, etc.) plus I feel that as far as FPS games go, there is better precision  and control with a mouse and keyboard. Though it depends on what you play games better with in the end with really. Plus, because it's a coop game, play on the system that most of your friends are on. It is better to play coop with people you know and trust instead of random strangers.(You never know who your going to get)

    The PC version will probably be better supported because it's Valve. Also, if TF2 is any indicator, there will be many more people playing it on PC.

    I have no idea yet, I was thinking about buying it on Xbox 360 but then I noticed that the game will be so much better on P.C. due to mods and stuff.

    I'll be getting it on PC because nearly all the people I play with are on PC(since it's my main gaming machine), and the mod support community for this game will be massive, so I cannot wait for that aspect.

    PC will probably be the best game because of controls and speed.
    Valve has confirmed that zombies are much faster in the PC game.
    However it depends where your friends are.

    Have the system specs been released yet, and will it cost as much as a full fledged game or will it be $20 like TF2.

    No system requirements have been released, but I think it's a safe bet that they're going to be about the same as those of The Orange Box.

    I'd mainly stay onto my 360 more than my PC even though this game looks perfect to play on PC. So... 360.

    Not to mention - I don't have a 360.

    definately pc
    But aside from that choice, isn't it like TF2 where valve updates/tweaks it's source engine every now and then?
    Which, if so, i guess is pretty hard / impossible to do on a X360

    PC definitely because they do not support their 360 versions, so no new content and no bug fixes. I suggest getting a mic you can get decent mics for cheap now and the PC version gets mods, new maps and patches.

    Yep, this is the only reason I'm getting it for 360. None of the people I know in real life that play games have gaming PC's, and I prefer to play my online shit with them - so 360 for me. It's one of those games that seems like it's way better if you don't play with complete strangers. If it were the other way around I'd be getting it for the PC.

    ill be getting it for the PC. The fast and frantic gameplay seems more suitable for keyboard and mouse.
