It's still a crappy game and a crappy franchise, so it doesn't matter.

Edit: Also, off topic here, but it's apparent that cheaters are not limited to PCs. http://www.aeropause.com/archives/2006/09/an_interview_wi.php

I never knew it was even possible. That now means when playing any game online the argument "s/he's cheating" is now valid. That sucks.

Actually, to me, it matters A LOT. I'm no longer blind to the fact PC titles are half arsed efforts when compared to console. You can be guaranteed that the road the cars are on in PC version will be that same blocky mess that was in MW with blocky shadows and video lag. But true, I don't care for Carbon myself, I was already a fool to get MW. I prefer Gotham on Xbox360 anyhow...Diff game perhaps, but sometimes the gfx r enough to keep you completely hooked.

but sometimes the gameplay is enough to keep you completely hooked, no matter how "blocky" the game is

(which actually makes me laugh, most 3D engines today can display enough polygons to be acceptably "smooth"..
it's not Quake II anymore.. and even if it still can be perfected, for the best, it's not like today's average engines are a pain to watch
so yeah, if you want, Xbox360 version is slightly better, technically speaking, but definitely nothing that worth mentionnnnning or makes the PC version a worthless piece of crap)

As Raven suggested, I played the leaked Demo of Carbon for the PS2 and I got a spiffed-up version of Mostwanted and it further confirms that the franshise has meet the fate of EA-ism.

XXXX: I remind me of this nuty evangelist we have around here he acctually goes around spitting; "I'm no longer blind..." (of course in swedish) around himself.

No offence to you, but you could go lighter on the "console-only" propaganda and just add to you sig or something; "I play only on consoles!". Wink

Hey Darknothing do you work for EA? More specifically did you work on this game? Either that is the case or you are somewhat mentally encumbered.
