So is Gears of War PC online completely dead?...

So I have been craving some kind of online 3rd person shooter recently for pc, especially after dabbling around a bit with Gears 3(and wishing i was using a m&kb :P). With that said, one of my first obvious considerations is the original gears on pc.

I have a feeling the online is a ghost town right now, but could anyone confirm this?

Any other online 3rd person shooter suggestions would be appreciated too. (Monday night combat is one of the only ones i currently own, which is decent)

There were maybe one or two servers up when I got it a couple years ago. I'm sure nobody is playing the PC version at this point. Especially considering how surprisingly difficult it is to find these days.

Also if you are looking for a third person shooter game I recommend Resident Evil 5(don't play that game unless you have a co-op buddy thoe,) Dead Space series, and lost planet series.

MS and Epic ruined the PC version. SAGE_OF_FIRE

what? no they didn't The multiplayer just didn't fit the taste of the PC community. That's it. Infact the PC version was alot better. They even added an extra level or 2 & touched up the gfx aswell.

why do u saw that GFWL is trash? what did it do to ruin ur experience? personally i forget that it even exits when im playing the game.

At the time of GOW1 it was absolutely terrible. Now its a bit annoying to use but nowhere near the mess it was at the time.

Yes it is. Nuff said. The fact that it was just a re-branded XBL for PC ruined my experience.

The game was pretty messed up at release. There is a vsync bug they never fixed. Then there was the day where everyone's copy stopped working because of their DRM. They didn't give the PC version enough love. If they had released 2 and 3 with dedicated servers, PC gamers would have played em.

Back then it was. It was filled with bugs, especially when updating, the interface was very counter intuitive and sometimes it would bug in the middle of the game and kick you out. On top of that you had to pay for gold lol

Achievements are handled like that on steam because no on pc really cares about achievements.
