______________________

When Medal of Honour games started losing breath a few years ago the first Call of Duty game came out of nowhere and made a small revolution within the genre. For the first time players were able to fight alongside hundreds of allied soldiers (remember the Russian campaign?) instead of playing the lone wolf behind enemy lines. But much like its spiritual predecessor the CoD games started losing momentum with the third instalment. Is Modern Warfare another step down on the road to mediocrity or did the jump to modern times give it the needed boost to return to greatness?

So if I have a high end PC and a 360, which should I go for?

Unless you prefer a console experience, gamepad, gamerpoints etc. I would personally go for the PC version. In saying that im impressed myself with the 360 version even though the graphics look a lot more aliased than they are on the 8800 ultra at 1920 with AA.

PS3 owners should have no worries about this title. There are no framerate issues and the online component plays fine (barring the server overload on launch). They've done an excellent job to get the game looking and running the same on all three platforms and infinity ward are to be commended for their effort.

Hopefully developers will take note of this and make sure that future games are of a similar standard performace and graphics wise.

I only wish my out of date computer could play at those settings lol... Thats why I bought the 360 version. Also because of Live where you can talk to all your friends and don't have to worry about whats everyone have on the computer!
