One of PC gamings staples is the MMO genre, but it's already been out done by the MMO game Chaos and Order for Iphone 4.
iPhone does MMO's better than PC's because

Pros:
Portable to play
Cheaper than WoW, and building a $3000 PC, that all these PC owners build every 6 months
Casual gaming without the stress compared to other games(like wow,sc2)
Graphics, gameplay and sound are better than wow
Better controls, the touch GUI is more accurate than a kbm


One of the let downs i suppose, if your a pro gamer, you can't really enter competitions, but thats not really a downside.

I personally dont have enough time to game, due to college and other activities, but when i do game its mainly on my iPhone, and my Mac (running windows, for 2 games which are COD and BF), so playing an MMO, for a cheap price is great, i get to experience it, during my train ride to college, and during breaks, hell even when the professor is boring, i can easily bring out my iphone 4 and play and connect with people from all accross the country, at any time, something you can not do on a PC.

There should be a rule on Gamespot where moderators should be able to ban people for obvious trolling.

Please don't take this too seriously SW, Gameloft is trying to make a good MMO on the iPhone and is doing fine. They aren't going to beat PC MMOs and they know it. iPhone gamers all don't think like this. Please don't think that.

How, just because you say so? You regard your self pretty highly judging from those posts. Yes its cheapers than wow. Heres a screen for WoW  It looks about even. Yes it feels smoother with the controls.

Congrats on using a screen 8 year old content.

The fact that i can play with people whilst im in school or on a train, is more appealing, than being 1 foot infront of my computer screen, playing when i need to be sleeping.

 Another image from 2011, it looks slightly better than the iphone C&O, but not something to make you go "wow".

Weird, for some reason WoW looks better when I load it up.

Umm no. Your controls are very limited on the phone, a smalls screen that will strain your eyes to see the details, and how are you supposed to interact with other gamers when you play?

[QUOTE="Method214"]topgun hmmm well if that really is an in game screenshot of wow, that is a pretty good looking game. But the iphones C&O definitely takes MMO's to a whole new level, you can play MMo's on the go, instead of being couped up inside your house to enjoy a game.

What makes playing on the go so much better than sitting in my comfortable officer chair, playing on a large screen and using a control scheme that is light years more comfortable and configurable than a phone's touch screen?

The option to play and connect with people all around the country whilst in lesson really relaxes your nerves, compared to the nerve racking enviroment of WoW.

Method214

Please tell me this:

1. Where are you going to find a good wireless connection to connect "on the go" to play the MMO.

2. If you're on the go you usually don't have the time to be playing an MMO.

Your argument fails.

Egg Im on the train for 2 hours a day, and usually even more. During that time id like to surf the net, maybe watch some good movies, and play games, the iphone lets me do that. Also if anything cool happens during my trips, i can easily film it with my movie grade camera.

1. Majority of people are not on the train for 2 hours a day.

2. How is watching movies/surfing the net/filming relevant to your MMO on Iphone argument?

So? at least they will be able to run it at higher than anything the iPhone can muster.

A PC that costs about 500-600$ can pretty much run WoW at close to max settings.

It was GUILD WARS. Lol, PC gamers have nothing against iPhone gaming, so you resort to shenanigans.

You're tempting me to post Crysis, BF3 Pics :D
