    I wish they would make dual sided discs, where one side was for my 360 and the other side was for my computer, because there is no way I'm going to buy the same game twice

    Is the 360 version going to have the new Chapters and such for download, or are they exclusive?

    I better not need a damn XBox Live account to play 360 players, but I know I will.

    I want to play 360 players so bad. Just to know that "Spartan431", "Halo_kid" and the likes would cry themselves to sleep, then get up and post about the pros of the 360 and the cons of computers, posting comparing screenshots and otherwise troll anyone who played the PC.
    That would make my day.

    Also: Yes, all games on steam. Nothing easier.

    While this <i>is</i> good news, I can't help but feel that its going to take a beast of a PC to play Gears and have it look as good as it does on the 360. And I do not have a beast of a PC.

    I'm just hoping that it will be a decent port, with realistic system requirements. The port would obviously need a lot of optimizing on the PC and I hope they port it accordingly.

    You know... I saw the video from the MS event again and noticed something rather peculiar prior to the Gears of War PC demo. It seemed to me like the guy demoing it actually PICKED UP a 360 controller before it started. Now, I can't be sure that's what I saw, and I can't find a video online that shows the guy playing, but being FORCED to use a controller instead a mouse/keyboard on the PC... that's a scary thought to me...

    You aren't forced to use a controller. I just hope co-op doesn't require a paid windows live account. Not sure if I want to pay 50 bucks a year just to play co-op when it should be free.

    Meh, already have it for 360, and extra Act will not make me buy it again.

    Also, you cant play 360 Vs. PC. Its PCvPC only.

    An extra act? How about 5 extra acts, that's twice the original game, and a game editor!

    Thank god, i was just ###### about how much i hate playing gears of war with a controller to a friend yesterday while we were playing haha. Just being able to get ahold of the early next gen unreal engine is a treat in itself <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

    Played every other FPS for the PC so I can draw a reasonable conclusion of what it will feel like. I think it feels better on the 360. Sue me. I don't need to point and click and go "Yup." to confirm my suspicions here.

    I've never found a game that required you to aim that felt better on a console.

    A gamepad is a crappy way to play an FPS. Joysticks will never beat out the precision and control a mouse provides. Played Halo on the hernia-box, and then on my computer. Hands down, keyboard and mouse beat the living tar out of the gamepad.

    Would be fun to see console players trying to keep up with those on the PC. Then again, they /do/ make a keyboard/mouse adapter for the 360, so you aren't crippled by a gamepad.

    That reminds me. A while back some of the other guys on the floor and I started playing PC Halo multiplayer. I was completely shocked... SHOCKED I tell you when they all started pluging their XBox controllers or gamepads into their PCs.

    I asked, "What the hell are you doing? You're gonna get owned like that!"
    "Haha we'll see. I've been playing Halo for years yo!"
    "Yeah... and I've been using a mouse and keyboard for longer idiot."

    I think my kill-death ratio was about 30 to 1 or something.

    I think with Shadowrun, they came up with some ways of balancing the advantage PC gamers have when they play vs. xbox players. I don't know exactly how, but they took measures...

    too bad no one actually has vista + shadowrun <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />
