    YES NO GEARS 2 ON PC. They don't wana deal with your spyware infected Trojan horse Tin Can. LOL. thank Gahd 4 that. So instead of spending 500 dollars on your near obsolete graphix card, Go spend 199 on a xbox 360 and 60 for gears 2 and hopefully you have enuf change for a fizzy drink n a bag of chips. LOL. Yeh I gota gaming pc but hey..at least i knew when to say "its complete" lol. Tweaked out TweekHeads..lol. wanna kno..what the true meaning of 500 Mhz? leme tell ya. IT's $500 Mega "hurts". hahahahhaha..cheers.

    to Puckhog04: Gears 2 isn't going to be available for the PC, because they don't earn anything, people are just downloading it like they do with every pc release. btw: Gears 2 looks freakin' badass! Im getting Far cry 2 today or tomorrow

    I got to spend a bit of time with Far Cry 2 at Atomic (Its a gaming mag) Live here in Australia. Multiplayer is awesome. I only spent 10 minutes or so with the game but from what gathered from that, there will be life in FC2 after singleplayer for sure.

    Drop in, drop out co-op? Count me in! At least the President of Epic games is willing to compliment other games, unlike cocky CliffyB. Gears 2 and Farcry 2 are going to be fantastic.

    Auesome stuff coming out october and november, the best months of the year! I think that console games of the years should be console exclusives. Far Cry 2, Call of Duty, Fallout 3, Gears 2, man excellent stuff. Far Cry 2: aint seen a bad thing bout it yet!

    Far Cry 2 looks incredible. Already have the PC version reserved and paid off. Gears 2 looks alright. I currently have the original on PC and love it. It's a great game. Gears 2 on PC would be nice and, despite what they want to say (and they said the same thing with Gears 1 and had rumored PC version months after it's release), it'll probably end up on PC sometime next year and be superior to the 360 version in all ways just as the original was superior on PC. People can say what they want but it's published by MS with means that, like with Gears 1 and Mass Effect as well as the Halo 1&2, it'll probably end up on PC. I wouldn't mind it at all and i'd buy it for certain. This year though...too many PC games i'm picking up this year. Far Cry 2 = Gaming goodness. Can't wait.

    The interface for the console editor looks pretty easy to use,but the PC one looks different.Well im not fretting,but I have Crysis editor and it.. well lets just say I dont use it. It doesn't look that hard though.(PC editor at 15:20)

    Theres a love story in Gears 2? I bet its man on man

  • thenewau25

    Posted Oct 18, 2008 11:53 am PT

    Are we gonna see gears of war 2 in pc, no never? never, because the sales were low and we made gears of war was like halo and fable, superior on xbox fans to the first players but way behind and lame to the pc players because there were games out more advanced and this is how we gonna make gears of war 2, superior on x360 but we wont allow pc users to see it and say its average!

    ohh yeah i agree with that!

    Crytek is completely unable of making a good story in a game!

    yes i agree with that and i hope we had the chance to play far cry instincts instead of crysis!

    we made sure far cry 2 editor will be simple and available for everyone to use!

    oh yes this is how games should be from now on, easy editors!!!
