Although Cliffy B has mentioned before there will NOT be a release for the PC due to piracy, there has been some rumors resurfacing that it could come this Christmas.

1 - When they contacted MS for comment, a company red told them:
"Gears Of War 2 is a great franchise for the 360, and so we are putting all of our attention into making sure it stands out on that console. There are no plans to bring the game to the PC"

... Oh.. ='(

If it's going to come to the PC or not, i don't know, but Cliffy B clearly stated that gears 2 would not come to the PC. If it arrives at the pc, he would be pretty much discredited and called a liar.

screw metacritic & sales, gears of war series are quality videogames!

1.4 - I'm sorry but sales =/= quality
If you logic's were correct, then the Wii would be the best console out there and Wii Fit would be a must have game =/

Come on guys, maybe in the past sales made a difference, but once videogames have been so commercialized , sales no longer can fully reflect the quality of a game. =/

It's sad but true. However, I personally think Gears is a great franchise and the sales are justified, the same can't be said about LBP that is also an amazing game, but sold poorly in comparison which is a shame =/

Love how he said it was due to piracy there would be no pc release though as theres just as much piracy on 360 as PC thats why its selling so well as unlike the ps3 games for the 360 are FREE!!! Why pay £40 a game for PS3 when you can get em free for the 360??

I say its still possible to come to PC. Just maybe not in a way that everyone wants it to be in. Perhaps it will come to PC in a new Streaming cloud gaming service. One way for Microsoft to safeguard against piracy.

@ La Chance. Halo 3 PC is still very likely to come to PC in 2010. Microsoft has some unannounced games they want to reveal to come to Games 4 Windows Live. They didn't do it at E3, but they want to do soon I would think.

that would be a shame because I love horde mode and would love to see it with higher res, textures and more enemies on screen.

2.1 - Bahaha, Gears of War. Mediocre?
If you didn't know already

- it's the highest rated new IP franchise this gen thus far
- it's sold millions of copies to people who want the game because it's AWESOME.

Go figure.

I like Gears, but what do sales have to do with anything?

People buy mediocrity all the time.
Shut this user up Let user speak
shocky16 - 172 days 3 hours ago
2.3 - Ok, ignoring sales -
My point still stands, it's the highest rated new IP franchise this gen.

The only game I can see topping it is LBP 2 if it gets released on the PS3.

GearsOfWar Mediocre?

Gears 90% + Average in Scores. Mediocre?

Gears already known as a Triple A series .Mediocre?

Gears who have Sold many copies and is now one of the most popular 3rd Person View IP this gen .Mediocre?

maybe to you it is but Your Opinion doesnt really Count since your opinion is obviously full of sh1t.

If you didn't already notice, I said "FRANCHISE"

Which means more then 1 game.

Then if you didn't notice again I said LBP + LBP 2 have got the best chance of beating it by the looks of things.

Cmrbe and Handsome_devil you guys are both wrong you were to quick to put LBL as highest rated game of this gen you should have checked further .

BIoshock got a 96% of Average.

Necroplasm is right.

Who cares if LBP was the highest rated game.It was obviously the most overrated game because it sold no where near Gears. You guys scream mediocre yet and still UC2 is trying to be everything Gears was.

Edit cmbre: Well actually LBP and Bioshock have nothing to do with the actual topic either, so i see no wrong on my part.

cmrbe - 172 days 3 hours ago
2.11 - Ok then
Franchise it is. Just saw new ip and I thought of lbp.

@Necro. I forgot about bioshock. Must be because it's multi.

Edit. Lowcarb. What does sales have anything to do with this subject? Shocky brought up higest rating new ip. Not sales. Downplay Lbp all you like but it's still the official 2008 goty

Edit@effile. Bioshock is multi plat because it's on more than 1 platform. Hence the term multi plat. If MLB is on the psp then it's also multi plat becuse it's on two platforms. You don't need a ps3 to play it. I don't get why I have to explain this.

2.12 - I lol at you.
Gears is a fantastic game with a huge following. I've been playing it since launch, and I would love to see it hit pc. I am a pc gamer, but I own a xbox 360 for THIS game.
This would be very very good news.

Bioshock released first on the 360 and PC, reviews for it and its meta score were already at a high before the PS3 ever saw light of it.

Can't really call it multi if its both on either a Microsoft platform or on Microsofts windows software. If that is true every MLB title\other titles for the PS3 and PSP is multi.

Sales = The opinion of millions of gamers, since they are the one's who decide the game is good enough to be bought.

Reviews on sites = The opinion of a select few journalists.

But I get why you don't like to talk about sales considering which console you favor.

I got a PS3 instead of a 360 because I have a PC to play games on so I guess I would be one of the ones that would want to play it on PC :-)

edit: Gears1 was surprisingly good when I played it on PC. Didn't have much replay value for me though but I did enjoy the single player and Gears2 seems better so I hope it does end up on PC sometime.

5 - I think this is worthy news for someone who can't afford a 360 /doesn't want to have to buy one
But wants to play Gears of War 2. Its not a bad game IMO, and I believe if the 1st one made it to the PC, the 2nd one should too =)

Someone can't afford a $200 console but they can afford a decent enough rig to play Gears 2 at a tolerable frame rate?

Maybe he allready has a rig and can't afford the $200, like recently made un-employed.

Plus we all know Gears 2 on PC will be better than 360.

5.3 - Like said above, people may have a high end PC and can't afford a 360
I mean, even if the person doesn't want a 360...

just because its cheap doesn't mean everyone WANTS to buy one.

Maybe people have better things to invest their money on, but since they have a PC that can run Gears 2, its good news =)

6 - I bought this game twice do to my first one getting scratched from my 360 from my surround sound being turned up loud & making my 360 shake.
Bring it over to the ps3 with dedicated servers & no worries of the game being pirated, this game would sell very well & would kick azz on dedicated servers. I can only dream lol.

7.1 - Absolutely
Just finished the SP campaign for Gears 2 on the 360 and loved it, but I'd buy it again for PC for updated visuals (and connections).

Gears 1 on the 360 was great, but the PC version was a step above as far as visuals & content.

I would love to see this game hit our shelves.
Although I do already own a 360 for this game alone, I would love to see it with some killer pc visuals. Maybe the dark corners collection would come bundled right in?

Gears 2 (and the original) is the main reason that I bought a 360 as well. A high price to pay, but fantastic games.
