I am a PC gamer.

Years ago a group of Xbox gamers tried to get into it. Before I went out and bought an Xbox I bought Call Of Duty for PC. Loved it. Went out and bought the Xbox, wireless controls, headsets, hard drive, blah blah blah blah..... Spent a ton of money... Hated it. This was during the 2008 election and kids were running into "rooms" yelling out obscenities and racist things about Obama and it was really just childish. I ended up giving my Xbox away.

I still play COD every day. I am in a clan. It's amazing. The multiplayer part of the COD world is run by "private servers" that people rent out - it's dirt cheap, like $10/month. You select the version you want to run, the maps, the perks, weapons, set things the way you want... I am in with a group of people that have tweaked the game so that we install one specific version of COD and then from there we can play all maps, all perks, all weapons.... It's amazing. Instead of playing 15 or 20 maps that comes with a version of the game, we can play all maps including custom maps. Tweak the height a bit so you can jump just a bit higher than normal and... You can climb up onto buildings that you normally shouldn't get to and it's a whole new world.

I am in a gaming clan where we have people from all over the world. It's amazing.
