Gears of War for PC Goes Gold
The PC edition of Epic's third person shooter Gears of War has gone gold, Microsoft announced today. The title will hit retail stores on November 6th. Gears of War for PC will feature the amazing tactical action and multiplayer excitement found in the Xbox 360 version, but it will also add a variety of all-new content, including three new multiplayer maps, a new multiplayer mode, game editor, five new game chapters and DirectX10 support. The package will retail for $49.99.

if it has dx10 does the xbox support that too?
can the pc play against xbox?
Been looking forward to Gears of War for a while now tho.
No the Xbox has no DX10 in it, and you might be able to play PC vs 360.
I'm wondering if this is going to be another Vista only game.

There are the achievements.
Besides, CoD4 coming out, and it's going to smoke gears of war.
If you are concerned with the button layout, use the 360 controller. Thats one of the benefits of Games for Windows.
Don't know why everyone things COD4 will own it..... it did incredibly well on 360 cause it looks good, plays well, and has a good story. Coming to the PC adds features, an editor, and better graphic settings.... plus a better (in my opinion) control set.
From what I can tell of COD4.... it will be very, very, very similar to the previous ones, but it will look nicer. Even COD2 looked good, that has never been their problem, the biggest complaint I hear about any of them is that you literally do the same thing over and over and over.
It is not an indicator of how many copies it has sold.

Epic tried to make the game 'Sandbox friendly' by not using a lot of buttons. It turns out to be extremely frustrating, and I haven't read a review that didn't mention the terrible control scheme. I'm not a CoD fanboy - but I will say that Infinity Ward mastered FPS controls w/consoles on CoD2. Gears of War butchered.
