    (and I mean Modern warfare 2, not Mech Warrior 2)

    Hmm, im in a bit of a perplexing dillema. I bought the original on 360, because I thought it looked a tad better on that. (not alot, but just a bit) but I didnt really play online that much because my freinds on LIVE are NEVER on when im on,( which makes me question why I pay 50 a year when I cant even play with freinds online because there never on). anyway, back on topic. I actually have been trying to buy more PS3 games, since I have like a 3 to 1 ratio of 360 to PS3 games (360 having more) But im not sure how well the version on PS3 will be since more than likely itll be a port of 360 (unless they dont lead on 360) or if itll be like the first, where both looked good, but 360 version looked and played a bit better for some reason. also, Activision isnt the biggest PS3 fans these days, so (and this is just the Conspiracey theorist in me talking) I wouldnt really put it past them to not make sure the PS3 version was exactly the same as the 360 version visually and etc.

    Anyway, some will say that I should get it on 360 for live, but if my friends are never on, whats the point? Ill be playing with Strangers on either version probaly. Wasnt COD 4s online matchmaking a bit better on PS3 anyway? (or was that something else?)  anyway, maybe ill just rent both version off gamefly and compare them like that.  Oh, I also got these niffty Trigger attachments for PS3 called real triggers, so now there good for FPS's.

    (BTW: I actually typed slow this time so I didnt make Spelling mistakes like my other threads. or atleast I tried my best.)

    If you're really not that bothered about getting the Hardened or Prestiged editions, I'd say wait it out and see what reviews about both versions say to help with your decision.

    Personally I think shooters play like shit on the DS3. Also, I have tons of people to play with on 360 (and no ps3, hehe) so I'm obviously going for that route. If you want to play it on PS3 and you have more people to play it with there though that's where I'd go. 


    Also you still have a ton of spelling mistakes but good effort.

    Protip: You can meet new people online. Trust me, a lot of my real life friends only have real life friends on their friends list. I, on the other hand, have half my list filled up with random people I met online, and it's still fun! Just start talking to your team about the game or other stuff, if they're cool send them a friend invite.

    I can't really imagine playing a FPS on the PS3. I honestly can't stand the controller expecially if I just switched over from playing Halo 3 or something. I would have enjoyed Killzone 2 so much more if I had been using my 360 controller.

    Well, if DLC is your thing. The 360 gets a short timed exclusivity with two map packs for the game.

    Its not just the "triggers" that suck on the DS3 its also the analog sticks, for other games like platformers and rpgs they are great but for FPS, they suck monkey nuts.  I say go with the 360 version, achievements and like you said better matchmaking.  Anyway, I played COD4 with strangers most of the time because my friends didn't get into it that much, more of a halo and gears crowd there.

    I kinda like the DS3...
    But as for what version to shoot for, I would just go for the basic game.  Thats what you're going to spend your time on.  As for which system....I would shoot for PS3, just so you don't have to worry about the early teens singing songs in your ear the whole time.  On PS3 at least nobody has a mic :D

    I agree with Jayge. I can't play FPS's on PS3's effectively. It is just off for me. I tried to play Bioshock and found the looking and shooting mechanics to be a bit archaic. But that is just my opinion. If you have more friends on XBL than PSN, go with that version. If vice versa, then go with the other. I am sure both versions will be almost identical.

    Agreed at the DuelShock 3 thing.  That is probably why I didn't enjoy Killzone 2 that much.

    I really hate the ps3 controller, it just feels too light or something. I say get it on the 360.
