When you hear a plane flying above and run indoors to avoid getting bombed...
At least you're smart enough to seek cover. I've got some muppets on my team that can't resist running out when red air is out. Which is fine when you're popping out to take out the threat with a launcher like I usually do.

I love taking out air support with the Javelin.

Other than vastly better graphics, mouse and keyboard input, and dedicated servers?

For the lack of comparison I might be oblivious as to the graphics quality on the consoles vs PC. Considering that a console is pretty much the same price as a decent video board not to mention all the other hardware necessary to support those properly I think a console is a pretty good value proposition, especially since gaming is not my #1 priority these days.
Have you tried XIM?

Consoles are pretty good value for gaming, sure. However not having owned a TV until a few weeks ago, but having owned computers I needed for other tasks, my $ went into PC gaming hardware. No console can hold a candle to newer video cards and processors, but of course they cost more or are newer, or both.
Don't know what XIM is.

4 wheels move the baby.
Here are a couple the wife mentioned
when you are watching tv and someone gets shot or blown up and you are waiting for the killcam to see where it came from.
When you pass a "speed checked by radar" sign and you glance over to where the map on your HUD should be.

Vastly better graphics? LOL
I'd LOVE to hear the technical details of why you think PC graphics are better than a dedicated gaming console with games specifically written and optimized for that platform.
Please enlighten me.

Interesting - Please enlighten me.
Simple. Console hardware is fixed from the date of launch. Video cards in the PC world refresh on a bi yearly basis.
Their raw power easily over shadows the benefits of coding optimizations done for the fixed hardware in consoles.
Thus the resolution/AA/AF/texture quality is much higher on the PC version of the game as the newer PC hardware allows for such. More importantly you can play at higher, more stable FPS which allows for much smoother gameplay than the framerate issue that plauge a large amount of console games.
So you have the privilege of upgrading for $400+ every few years... just like a console...

That makes sense. XIM allows you to use your keyboard and a mouse on an XBOX and a PS, and you can make it yourself.

You really think $300 of hardware from 2006 is going to have a chance competing with $1000 of hardware from 2009?
Let's see, my computer has a far faster CPU and GPU and something like 14 times as much memory.
Just play Fallout 3 on a PS3, Xbox 360, and then on a PC with a Core i7 920 and a Geforce 285 (what I'm using now). It's 720p on a PS3 without antialiasing, 1080i (interlacing, lulz...interlacing on a PC is probably a crime against humanity by now) on an Xbox 360, and 1920x1200 @ 60 Hz with all the antialiasing, anisotropic filtering, textures that are bigger than the entire system memory available to a console, rendering effects, and smooth sailing through heavy action scenes I want.
Found some video of a PS3 vs 360 vs PC comaprison...and keep in mind that the PC used in the video is already 1-2 generations older than what's currently available.

I never did the online gaming thing til this game came out. Went and bought the little wireless modem for the Xbox 360 along with MW2. Holy shit it's addicting.
I like the Free for All. Just run around and knife the campers in the back, or get sniped as I'm running around looking for campers. Good times.
Best I've done is to win with 30 kills and only 6 deaths. Normally I finish around 3rd or 4th with 20 kills, I can't aim for shit. It's amazing how quickly and accurately some players are, frustrating actually. WTF is the secret to quick and accurate aiming?
The other day I was playing Free For All and we kept getting nuked, 2 games in a row. Hmmm, nobody is that good. Then I came around a corner to see two players hiding in a dark corner, they had used the Respawn flare to choose their Respawn location. One guy was knifing the other guy to get enough kills to Nuke the game, they were in cahoots! Bastards. So I knifed him, no nuke that game.
