    No it does not, only in some games if you want to play against xbox live gamers aswell, live on pc is free

    Positives

    Mouse and keyboard
    Better standard of players
    Depending on your system, better graphics

    Negatives

    Terrible Hosts
    Takes ages to find a game
    Guaranteed every 2nd game or so to meet a subtle/blatant wallhacker or aimbotter

    I wouldn't bother with the game, the negatives far outweigh the positives.

    i have to disagree i play on pc and Ps3 and much prefer it on PC (mouse control much better than joy pad for FPS). U are incorrect that the PC version is slow at joining games it is faster than on PSN but i can't comment on Xbox.

    As for saying there is hackers yes there are but not near as much as u let on. (example i can play for over 40 hours or so without meeting one). Also there are less hacked servers (different from hackers) on PC.

    I played the PC version for the first time last night at a mates, it really does make a difference going from a console to pc, couldnt play as naturally as with a joypad, having a key to go prone and having to push it again just isnt as repsonsive as thumb clicking down the R3 stick (tactical layout) And as strange as it sounds I find it easier to precision shoot with a pad

    It is easier to shoot on PS cause there is an aim assist you only notice it when switch from PC to PS3
