    Will PC gamers be able to play on the same CoD (4 or WaW) servers that console gamers do and vice versa?

    I'm afraid not. There are very few games that allow PC and console gamers to play against each other, the three I know of are Shadowrun for the PC/Xbox 360, Lost Planet: Colonies for the PC/Xbox 360 and Final Fantasy 11 for the PC/Playstation 2/Xbox 360, I know there's at least a couple more....

    Think of the unfair advantage that a PC Player would have in a FPS over a console player. That is why I buy every FPS I can on the PC so I can avoid the Console controllers...

    yeah, almost everyone you know who says they own in COD4 on the 360 would get beaten pretty bad if you played them on PC.

    If only they made Halo 3 compatible for the PC, and make it not suck (H2 was horrible), they would more than likely have a very successful PC game.
