Problem is though, the XBox 360 version can't even handle 8 players on a map at once.
Max is 4. If there were 8 players all going at once, each person might have an army of 35 tanks. There should have been something done - maybe in the graphics department - to allow more to be built at any one time.
As far as PC vs XBox360 - PC would always win. Mouse + Keyboard > Controller.
I think it was made well for the 360 as far as controls go, but you can do so much more so much faster on the PC. It wouldn't be fair.
