Does it need to be multiplayer? Can't you play the SP through a web browser?

I think Microsoft will have something in place to prevent that from happening, maybe restricting certain browsers?

It would be cool if MS allowed this. I already have both on my 360 but would try it on my PS3 just for the hell of it.

It wouldn't work on the PS3. It requires that a plug-in be installed to run the 3D application within the browser.

that would be pretty sweet. Playing Quake thru my browser is really fun and how they implemented stats and friends and everything into it. If they made a Gears browser game like that, I'd definitely play it.

I think that would be great if games started moving into the browser. (minimizes window as manager approaches)

Yeah, it can definitely play on a browser...only after you install all 10gb of data first. (yes, that's 10 gigs)

Gears on PC is phenominal, another jaw dropper like Gears 1 on 360 when it came out.
