Is it subscription based, like WoW?
Have they sorted out out that awful unwieldy menu system?
Does Xfire work with it yet?

Whether it looks pretty or not isn't the case.
Joypad for FPS?
Compared to mouse/keyboard?
ESPECIALLY for BF2?
I really don't see it being even REMOTELY as good or as in depth

The Xbox 360 lacks a decent mouse/keyboard setup.
It is also designed to be run on a TV and will therefore look no where near as good as the PC version anyway.
The 360 has a measily 512mb of ram. BF2 on the PC requires 2Gb to get the best out of it.
And for the life of me, I can't understand the argument about people on different hardware setups. As long as you're game runs smoothly there is no difference other than one has flashier graphics. The only thing that really gives the player the edge, if any, is surround sound. However, this applies to both 360 and PC.

A chopper and plane with an analogue stick? Especially the plane part, would be far too slow of a responce.

Yet the Xbox (and the 360) have custom hardware, as have all consoles. Halo was ported to the PC. It was appaling, and the game was already 3 years old. Most of the code was the same too.
