I was just thinking about this because I own a PS3, Xbox 360, and a Gaming PC. I play all of them and the most memorable moments are from my PC games just because I don't have to deal with little annoying kids and cheaters. Also I get to customize the game in a lot of ways such as, picking my own Resolution, a whole bunch of sensitivty settings, can use a controller if I want to, most people have a mic or actually listen to you if they don't have one, each server has it's own rules for things such as no bunny hopping, and I can Alt-Tab b/t rounds and surf the web. This is just my thoughts thrown out there in a very unorganized way. What Do You Guys Think Is the Best Online Experience Right Now? (Consoles or PC)

Cheaters get instantly booted by admins and certain servers don't allow kids (so if they talk on the mic they get booted).

I agree with this, and I'm mostly a console gamer these days.

only only thing I don't like about online gaming on the pc is that if I use a headset to communticate theirs no split between game audio and the voice. so i cant have the game audio through my speakers and my mates through the headset (at least to my knowledge their isnt) other than that the PC is the best for sure

I forgot how to, but I did have it set up to where people on the mic went through my computer speakers and in-game audio went through my headset.

Thats not true, a lot of servers dont have admins on 24/7.

Counter Strike 1.6 is filled with cheaters if you're not playing through ESEA. Nowadays there will be more than a couple people cheating during scrims on average.

I much prefer PC online. That's not to say that consoles have it bad though.

PC is infinitely superior. Not much of an argument to be made for consoles in this case.

Regarding functionality, PC is obviously superior. Regarding cheaters, it really depends on which server you frequently play on. There are loads of cheaters/heackers on PC, its just that there are also a LOT of actively administered/modded servers so it really isn't a problem. You actually get to enjoy both worlds (non-cheat servers or on "cheat" servers just for the heck of it). :D But I should reiterate that there are only very few times where i actually encounter an obvious cheater. Its a very very rare occurence for me, maybe because I usually play on well-run servers. I played COD 4 ALOT and there are less than 5 times where i actually encounter a cheater...and its usually the same ****tard.

Servers are what make the difference, but also the general fact that PC is an open system, it allows for more freedom and control. Of course it's a double-edged sword in a way and unified systems have their perks too.

They might have the most cheaters, but they are better controlled and isolated so it isn't as prevalent as they are off on there own servers.
