Epic sounding board, Cliff Bleszinski has fleshed out some of the details of Dark Corners' single-player content...
Somewhat unbecoming of Gears' traditional gameplay, the next portion of DLC for Gears of War 2 will include single-player content that gives players the option of stealth or all-guns-blazing tactics. Epic's Design Director, Cliff Bleszinski has now revealed a bit more info on how these stealth sections will play out in the upcoming Dark Corners DLC:
"It's a 90-minute section that was actually snipped out of Gears of War 2, where Marcus and Dom are actually going to the Locust home world and they're basically suited up in Locust armour and have a choice - because they knocked out a couple of Therons - they can go in guns-blazing as they always do, Rambo-style, or they can go with a more stealth approach, so it's a little bit of stealth in the Gears universe," Bleszinski told Major Nelson in the latest podcast. It all sounds a bit Han and Luke to us.
"You get Achievements for playing the mode either way and it kind of plugs right into the main game," Bleszinski continued. "It's actually the first time we've done any sort of single-player DLC. It's kind of a test to see whether people dig it."
Dark Corners will be the fourth portion of DLC for Gears 2 when it launches on July 28th, although it will be the first to include single-player content as well as multiplayer maps. On the same date, an All Fronts Collection for Gears 2 will be made available over Xbox Live that includes the three previous map packs as well as the Dark Corners DLC. The All Fronts Collection will cost 1600 Microsoft Points (£13.60) while Dark Corners will set gamers back 1200 Microsoft Points (£10.20).
Last week, Microsoft accidentally uploaded the All Fronts Collection onto Xbox Live for a mere 800 Microsoft Points. The company has since admitted fault for both the DLC's price and timing, and conceded that those players who were quick enough to download the content will be able to keep it without harassment from the Redmond giant.
"The small, lucky group of Xbox Live members who were able to download the content during the short window it was available will be able to retain the content for the price at which it was purchased as well as keep all related Achievements," a Microsoft rep told Joystiq. "There won't be any penalties for those who purchased this content early. Think of it as a lucky treat for those with quick reflexes!"

lol M$ took a risk of releasing a crap and unreliable console but that diddnt stop people buying it, and still today people beleave the 360 is the top selling console thinking its sold over 40 million world wide (out of 40 million 33% have broken, stripped down for parts, or are sitting in game stores as preowned units) the totalnumber of 360's in actual use is closer to 27 million not 42 million lol you fanboys love to exagerate things dont you.
and likewise thr real reason why gears 1 diddnt sell very well on pc is cause epic mad an epic mistake when they ported it accross (no mid or low end pc could run the game pretty much what almost 80% of pc's are low to mid end, a high end pc is close to £800 to build and a top end is over £1000) if gears 1 had more options for lower spec pc's it would have sold more but typical microsoft was only intrested in lining there pockets with more $$$, also another reason why it diddnt sell well is cause of piracy, the game was an easy target for hackers who hacked the DRM.
if you go back to when gears 2 was released cliff said the game would not be comming to pc as if it did hackers would do what they did with gears 1 and make pirate copys and likewise its the same for gears 3.
you can keep your boring exclusive inferiour console game and control method (the 360 pad is a toy compared to pc controlls) the pc is for adults where as the 360 is like a leapfrog, lol you can keep your leapfrog exclusives, there sh** anyway.

id much prefer they placed gears of war 2 on pc and use the DRM of ubisoft, rather than not making one at all which is why i support ubi's uber DRM. if the DRM fails the whole PC-port games from ubi will crash and might end up like Gears of War...
and i was really looking forward for this game in pc, :(

Lol, I love how you PC fanboys keep b*itching about how Gears of War 2 is a 360 exclusive & is never coming other PC. You guys should just STFU! Gears of War 2 is a 360 exclusive & is ALWAYS going to be a 360 exclusive! You want to know why? Because when they released the first Gears of War onto the PC it didn't make them a lot of money. So why should they waste their time & money to make a port that won't make them nearly as much money as the 360 version?

WTF, this is hilarious. I've been consistently having problems finding a match. It usually takes 30 mins for me to find one. I've got great internet connection, I don't have this problem for any other one of my games. Left for Dead 2, COD, NCAA, etc. Only GOW2. I'm doing an experiment, see how long I can be in the lobby for, so far it's been 3 hours 22 minutes and 15 seconds.
This game fn blows. I'm really tempted to just take it out and snap it in half.
F U GOW2

Of course Microsoft wants to make money - it's a business. Also, the reason Gears 2 isn't coming to PC is not because it wants to make money from Xbox 360 exclusivity, but because it doesn't want to LOSE money with a PC release. It took that risk with the first Gears and it didn't pay off then, so why should it now?

These Microsoft people just want to make money from GOW2 by keeping it exculsive to xbox360.

lol why would they release it on pc in fact why should they all you lot will do is download the pirate version anyway which is what happened with the first gears game on pc so instead of [#@!?]ing about it not comming out on pc youve only got your selfs to blame (or the idiots who diddnt pay for it in the shops/downloaded the pirate version)
