Gears to the PC

With Gears going to the PC I see Freak's new addiction coming on. Can you imagine all the mods and maps that will pop up after it's released?

What? Gears to the PC???? How did I miss this? What, when, where?

I hope you sont have to use the mouse and hit F6 to shoot.

Most PC games do not use the headsets do they?

They were talking about it at E3

I found this:

E3 2007: Gears of War coming for Vista and XP | Tech news blog - CNET News.com

Can't believe I missed that.

if they don't have an online component, there's no need for a headset unless it's a game like Rainbow Six: Black Arrow where you can use voice commands with your squad in the single player game.

I'm looking forward to GoW coming to the PC. I'm not willing to buy a 360 just yet (waiting for the 65nm cpu's and Halo 3). It's going to run on DX9 hardware and windows xp too, which is good for someone like me who has no desire to switch to Vista.

As for when it's coming, it'll probably be a Christmas season 2007 release, meaning mid-November.

What do you mean no online component? It is going to be online with 8 players just like the 360.

I was responding to Fine Vol's question regarding headsets.

Headsets are used with most online computer games. Granted, some setups are better than others, but there's always a solution like Teamspeak, XFire, etc.

Another beauty of Live...just plug the headset in and start gaming.
