Of course only about 1/2 of those have enough people to make the game interesting but hey, that's still 150. I just wish more servers were running the BF2 Special Forces mod
(what's your name on there cuz i been playing it alot lately... i like this one better then mc cuz it's more open ended, more choice of weapons, more people to play with ... so on)

anyways... yes there's a diffrence.... believe it or not, even if there's only 24 peopl ein a server (max on this particular game, some games have a max of 8 players... bft:mc is the largest server limit i've seen yet at 24... but hte maps are no where near as big as on pc) you have to of course give up some graphics... because game systems have a limited capability of course... they're not upgradeable like pc's and even if they were, they'd still have to keep the detail and what not to the basic limitations of the stock system...

the thing with the servers (as i said earlier, it's ONLY this game i've ever seen on ANY console that had problems.... i'm not the only one that thinks that either... shit pretty much anyone who's been playing MC for a month or more knows EA is neglecting these servers.... i don't understand it... they have other servers with no problems, it's just this one particular game) is 1. with consoles, no one can have their own personal servers, the company who made the game is SOLEY responsible for the servers... if they decide to take the servers down, they're down for good and that game will no longer be able to be played on line ever... on PC you can buy servers, rent servers... even if the company made servers for it, then shut them down, there could still be hundreds, or thousands...

on pc unless it's a really unpopular game, said games will always have servers.. shit, there's even servers ou tthere for VICE CITY! it's not even an online capable game, someone made an add-on for it (not a company, just a perosn) and got servers up for it... i dunno how they are today, but when i tried it (when it was first out) it had alot of issues... (if you got vice city on pc and wanna check it out, look up "multi theft auto")

btw, BF2 and BF2:MC are COMPLETELY diffrent... i have both... they're completely diffrent games... all together... vehicles, weapons, servers, maps, graphics, you name it... there's not one thing they share inc ommon except, they both have a usa, chinese, and arab-type teams, and you can use tanks and fly helicopters (the heli's in MC suck compared to BF2 tho... like horribly...)
