I hope that they can produced a PC Version of Gears of War 2. I can’t own a XBOX 360 cause my Dad don’t allow it, thus I spend quiet a lot of cash to upgrade my PC just to meet the requirement waiting for Gears of War 2. If they just stick it to XBOX 360, is not fair to PC gamer who likes Gears of War like me. Not Fair at all!!! Microsoft, please give us a PC version!!!

If you want to play Gears of War 2, it turns out your options will begin and end with the Xbox 360 on November 7. IGN had a chat with Epic Games lead designer Cliff Bleszinski, who revealed that there will not be a PC port of the 360 sequel. Ever.
“Gears of War is a great franchise first and foremost for Xbox 360, and therefore we’re focusing on that platform for Gears of War 2. We’ve decided we’re not going to do a PC version this time around,” said Bleszinski in the interview.
Gears of War was ported to the PC last November, a full year after it debuted on the Xbox 360 in 2006. While it was generally well-received (and added content not included in the 360 version), the main complaint was that the console-developed shooter — designed from the ground up to be played with a controller — didn’t translate smoothly to a mouse and keyboard. Taking this into consideration… is it really bad news that there won’t be a PC port in the future?

Hey, my friend says this DOESN’T need shader 3.0, but I’m not sure.
He also said Shader 3.0 can be downloaded through this, is that true? If so, I am so getting this.

Xbox 360 sucks hardcore. I dont own one. I will never own one. And anybody i know that has one i pimp slap them for owning something that will be a 300+ dollar paper weight. My girl’s step dad has gone through 6 of them. And a few friends have gone through 3-5 and in the end. No xbox for them because it waited a bit to break.
So epic not makeing a PC port of gow2 is pretty much saying they dont enjoy money. Thats fine with me dude im a grown man. Just add that game to the list of thing’s i will never play and or could care less about! LATERS!! WOOOOOOOOOOOO
