This is an interesting story that has been around for a little while. Though I just had to throw my two cents in on the controversy of Gears of War two. with sixty days and counting to the next installment of the largest charter models in a first person shooter have seen in a while, seriously their arms are have got to the width of me. Then Soul train, just, damn is all I can say.
It's no secret to anyone one that Gears two will be seeing no PC love this time around. Granted Gears One took a year to make it's way to the PC. Some people have become very defensive about this. Of curse if you do any form searching you'll see that pissed off fifteen year old saying, who needs another shooter on the PC anyway. I guarantee this same kid will gush over left 4 dead when it comes out. Now the real question is who are really pulling the strings on this deal? A lot of people will quick to blame Microsoft on this. I have read the interview where Cliff Bleszinski nonchalantly tells the interviewer that gears two will never see the PC.
The thing that annoys me is that all he says the interviewer didn't press him. So it makes me wonder if it is staying on the xbox 360 because that is where they saw the biggest success. If that's it why not just say it. Granted we don't "need" gears of war two on the PC but the series so far has very fun look and interesting cast of charters. It makes me wonder if porting to PC and trying to change up the controls are harder to do? Hell they where able to do halo pretty well. To this day you can still find halo one games still going on. So the question is are they just lazy or do they really just do not want to be on PC with this franchise. It's not working on the PC would be new to Cliff Bleszinski . Hell he is still known as the Unreal guy to a lot of people.

But it's not all bad news they have in store some really fun stuff for the 360 crowd. one the new features will giving a thank you to all the Gears of War one players. It turns out that if you have played Gears one some of your achievements will unlock goodies for you new Gears two game. It's always nice when game developers remember the fans that get them to where they are. Another thing you will be able to unlock in the the game will be bringing the dead back to life from the first Gears of War in multi-player. IGN has a picture of one of the guys. It turns out you can play Carmine the mysterious man in the mask, and one of the others they showed was Minth. With attention like this to the multi-player I hope that they expand on what they did do in the first one. Some of the things I have heard that could be improved are bringing more maps out in a timely manner, and to have more play types. With games like TF2 Gears would have had to stay on top of the multi-player if they will wanted a long and prosperous online PC community. There in lies the problem how many updates have you seen on gears compared to other online shooters? It may not be lack of skills and more lack of time to dedicate a full team to keep the community happy.
