Computer or 360?

angrysasquatch · 10-21-2007, 04:54 PM

I'm not sure whether to get it for computer or my 360. Most of this would depend on how good my computer is so:

Pentium D805 2.66 ghz
1 gb ram
geforce 7300 GS

I know my computer can handle it, but would it play better on my comp or 360?

the graphics are old, not updated so your computer should be able to display them fine, unless of course you bought your computer in the early 90's

I was playing through Half Life 2 earlier. The graphics have been polished up well. Infact the character models look very improved.

your specs are probably sufficient to run the game on par with the 360, i think. the main question is would you prefer to use a keyboard/mouse or a game pad? oh and the PC version is cheaper.

I would go with a 360, because unlike a computer, you don't have to upgrade the xbox, just buy it and plays right out of the box. With a pc you have update every 6 months or so, for it to play new games that come out. Plus money wise, the xbox is less expensive in the long run.

he already has a 360 and a computer that is capable of running orange box. he's asking which one he should get orange box for, not whether he should buy a 360 or a gaming PC.

i would say pc as TF2 is complete trash on the 360.

u can only have 16 players and anything over 8 is lagville.

orange box is all about tf2, y not play it right with 32 people and no lag

Alright, thanks for the responses, guys. I'm probably just gonna rent it for 360 since my reading week (week of boredom) is coming up and I'm not gonna buy Halo 3, Orange Box and COD4. I'll probably go thru portal then some of the way thru HL2 and expansions, but TF2 never really appealed to me so I doubt I'll use it after COD4.
