Should I get Battlefield Bad Company 2 for the xbox 360, ps3 or pc. I want to play online and with friends my xbox 360 recently died it was 3 years 4 month old but, I'm going to get another one some time soon or fix it.
My vote is for the PC. Why? Because I think aiming and shooting is better with a mouse. I tried playing a FPS on PS3 and just couldn't get the hang of it. I should mention that I when I game I exclusively play FPS games on PC, so I don't have any comparable experience with BC2 on xbox or ps3. FYI there's no prone across all platforms.
Yea the multiplayer is tough for newbies due to many aspects including no armor and no magnum ammo which you'll get (I think) at level 10 and 11. Still, you can enjoy it a lot.
I'd pick PC if you are not comfortable with controller.
If you are, I'd pick PS3 since the online is free (for now).
PC - if your PC can handle it..... I got a brand new PC and love it because I can crank up the graphics big time. Beautiful game. Otherwise go with your console of choice.
The PC requires more of an investemnt in parts, and time, where as consoles are true "plug and play." Still, PC for the win, much higher graphics capacity, and the glory of mods. Plus a proper PC is more stable than a console.
