on 360!? Man.. I won't be use to it..
don't most people play the game on PS3 anyway?

Button layout is pretty much the same, aside from the Dpad and Left analog stick being swapped around - Shouldn't be too hard to adapt to this. It really doesn't matter what system it's played on, we'd have the same question come up if we chose PS3 with a 360 player. We made this decision as 360 is the more popular system.

Bah, I guess it's a fare call.

Hey was just wanting to know what is meant by team cap 32? Is that 32 people only? Thanks

32 Player cap.
