About going to the PC version - the only benefit is that you get free online MP. You get poorer performance, stiff and poorly optimized keyboard control (it plays much more smoothly with the X360 wired USB gamepad), and no co-op although that's an issue with the game engine (cannot sync AI online) rather than with the developers.
About running off an external HD, yes, it will run, and the actual performance will be about the same as running off an internal HD. However, the loading times will be much slower if you're using a USB 2.0 hard drive. It's generally not recommended to run large-file-size applications off external hard drives.
Also, who the hell gave him that infraction? I did not find the post irritating in the least. Not everyone is tech-knowledgable, you know.
