What makes cross-platform not possible on CoD4?
After switching to PC gaming a while ago from Xbox I realized CoD4 for Xbox and CoD4 for PC are extremely similar to each other, in fact I don't really see the difference other than the dedicated servers and mods.
So why is it that you can't play cross-platform (Xbox and PC)? It seems like if I host a private match on Xbox and then from PC do "connect [xbox's_internal_ip]" it should connect, just like it would PC to PC.
Same with MW2. Anyone know what keeps these two games from communicating? Different ports? Different versions?
Thanks.
