So does the x-box version have more (or bigger)lvl's or content or something, or is it just better graphics wise.







The graphics are better for the pc and always will be, however the main problems lie in the way you target the characters. Whereas on the console versions theres a slight auto target (nothing big, just aids in using thumbsticks) the pc version is just too damn easy to target using the mouse.


The pc version uses the console version but just with a far superior input device so obviously this results in a very different experience and the reviewers just said its not as challenging as battlefield is.Still a good game, i think the pc version got 7/10 and the xbox version 9/10 inone of the reviews i read.


Not that its a bad game, just suposedly designed with console input devices in mind sothe pc version plays a little to easy.


Other issues such as targeting players from miles away withwalkers is inherent toall the versions.

I looked into it a bit, the ingame create a server only let me create one with a max of 4 players. I gave up there. I didn't find any "dedicated" server config options to allow me to run one that allowed more players. it seems that only the rented servers have the capability to run any reasonable number of players which is kinda whack if you ask me.

I may be able to, altho I don't think my bandwith would support enough players for a game like that. Most FPS servers I have ran were 6-8 people max before it got too laggy to play, so I'll wait to see if someone else could do it better. Anyways, I would play in a ranger server if someone else sets one up. I currently play under the same handle as my forum identity; Eklectrick, so if you see me in there, say hi!

An update, I figured out that I had my default connection set too low which is why it only let me create a server with 4 people max. I now can create a 10 max player server. I still haven't figured out how to run it in some sort of console mode so I can have the server running while I do other things, so all I can do is run the server while I'm playing the game. So maybe if there are enough people interested, I could run the server at a certain time once a week or something like that. Otherwise we'll just have to keep an eye out for each other on the servers.
