Rate Opinion: Modern Warfare 2: PC Versus 360

By Mike Fahey This having been said, the PC version loses a point to the Xbox 360 as far as local multiplayer options go, with the ability to network multiple 360 consoles together via System Link. There are no LAN options for Modern Warfare 2, and of course no split-screen multiplayer either, so the cons...

If there was an Xbox 360 demo in a store, Fight Night 3 was in the system. The game was crisp, innovative, had an engaging soundtrack, and was damn fun. La...

Rate Opinion: PC version of Modern Warfare 2 hacked for the console to be back in the game

Original at GamingNexus external link    Mon, Nov 16

NEWS - My review of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally done but alas the version I reviewed and was supplied was for the Xbox 360. So while the score reflects that version of the game, I have a feeling if I ever got the PC version to test that I'd be pretty harsh on the changes made to it.
