I wouldn't say nuts, but you can't say anything without someone coming to the rescue of their poor old platform of choice, be it PC, XBox, PS3 etc.

I posted a link to that blog post of mine where i compare the BC2 Dedi Servers to MW2's IWnet. See what kind of response i get.
Between DRM, unfinished games like BC2, and all this other crap i would much rather just pop a disk in my Xbox or PS3 and play. I mean the downloaded for new BC2 patches on PC doesn't have a recall function, that like the first thing you build into a downloaded.
Yeah it seems we are the only ones who agree lol.
I mean I am making comments based on the fact that I have both platforms so I am not making this up, but this is how it goes:
BC2 PC = Install game for about 10 minutes, cool. Fire up game, realise you need 350 MB patch. Wait +- 2 - 3 Hours for patch to finish. Fire up game. Spend +- 10 - 15 Mins trying to refresh and fins SA servers. Once found try to add as favorite. Won't let me add them. Get annoyed and close game.
BC2 xbox = Install game (If you want) or just run off disc. Open game. Download 5 MB Patch. Select MP, Play with friends. 2 mins and you are shooting the shit out of everything that moves.

Well you don't need GB's of patches.
The menu is MUCH faster and smoother.
Finding games is a piece of cake. Its a jol playing with friends.
It runs smoother on my Xbox.
I don't consider my PC crap, its fairly decent and I had to spend some time tweeking the graphics as it felt very sluggish in game.

Is it similar to the Halo way.... add friends... and then it finds the rest for you automatically? I only say the halo way since its the only game i've played online which does it like this and in no way are saying the created this method (Disclaimer)

Halo set the benchmark for how console MP is run. MW2's IWnet is very, VERY, similar to Live Matchmaking. Its one of the things that makes Halo such an awesome title, how it sets the Standards. The entire Matchmaking system that Live uses was made famous by Halo 2. And its been reworked time and time again improving it to where it is now, a system that can cancel out lag and is smooth and user friendly.
