I think I saw Cliff say somewhere that they weren't working on a Gears 2 for PC at the time, but does that entirely rule it out for the future? I hope not, because I sold my 360 and NEED to play the sequel to Gears. What do you think??
Gears of War 2
Game » consists of 13 releases. Released Nov 07, 2008
Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
PC Gears of War 2?
IMO, saying there won't be a PC version is just to make sure the 360 version sells. If gamers knew that in the future there will be a souped up PC version with more content, it may deter from initial sales as people are waiting for the "complete" version. It'll come, I'm sure of it.
there will be a PC version, only around a year later...

"Thanks for the optimism guys. That is my one regret since selling my 360, that I wouldn't be able to play Gears 2, and I hope I won't be forced to miss out on it."Some would consider waiting a year missing out. ;-)

Also, EPIC said the same thing about the original; "Absolutely no Gears of War for the PC." Guess what happened about one year later? However, it would actually make sense for them not to do a PC version, and focus primarily on the Xbox 360 DLC/patches/updates. It sold much better on the console, and every Xbox Fanboy was in flames that EPIC released it, with more content, on another platform.
Anyway, no one knows for sure if they're just bluffing to spike the console sales ...

Well put it this way if they release Gears 2 on the PC eventually they need to do a better job than what they did with Gears 1 on the PC. Adding in bonus content does not make up for bugs and glitches that should NEVER have been in there to begin with. I could never understand how the PC version was so buggy when they had plenty time and money to make a decent PC, less buggy or dare i say bug free, version.
They were late to confirm a PC version of the first game, and it may very well be true that Epic won't be doing the pc version of gears 2. Gearbox however, can and has done such things in the past and while I'm not a Halo fan, I hear they do a good port job.

Maybe a year/year and a half after release.
