It’s official – the WGR has declared the PC version of Modern Warfare 2 to be resoundingly superior to the Xbox 360 version. To begin with, you can actually see into the distance. It’s like putting on a pair of glasses for the first time. No more guessing what 4 to 5 squiggly pixels might be (plant or an enemy? no idea!). Not only is the resolution higher (1920 x 1080 versus 1024 x 600), but the distance is rendered with much higher levels of detail and clarity.
Second, the mouse means no more fumbling with an awkward control scheme that can boast nothing better than dual wild analog sticks. I’d rather not use the same device that can pick up a stuffed animal out of this thing:
Reports of rampant cheating? Cheaters are here and there on both platforms (PC & Xbox 360).
On a side note, how could anyone make fun of the Wii with its 480P if Modern Warfare 2 on the Xbox 360 is displaying at 600P? Is that what it takes to go from “Standard Definition” to “High Definition?” One-hundred and twenty horizontal lines?

I completely agree. PC versions of FPS (imo) are much easier to play on a computer vs a console. After playing the PC version… I will never play the 360 version of MW2 again.
