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 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)

I got a hang of Gears 2 when my friend lent me his xBox 360 and the Graphics seem to be better than Gears 1 .I tried using the xBox controller on my laptop to play Gears 1 and later I used the same to play Gears 2 on xBox.But didn't quite seem to enjoy the gameplay with xbox controller. I wonder if we could attach a mouse and keyboard to xBox so that I can play better as Mouse and Keyboard are far more better while playing shooter games.Even though the game Gears 2 looks great I am still convinced that I should go ahead to buy xBox just for the sake of playing this game.I will definately buy a Licensed version of Gears 2 if ported on PC or if the xBox 360 game Dvd can be run on Pcs or Laptops using some simulator or attaching an xBox DVD Drive.A PC version of this game will do wonders and justice to this game but the ending Boss fight is not so good.I enjoyed the Last Boss viz. General Raam . They should make final Boss Fight more challenging just like we had as General Raam. Anyways, I just hope Epic wakes up in time and release Gears 2 for Pc with a standard Specfication to run on PC viz. RAM , Graphices and CPU Requirements quoted on the released PC version of Gears 2 so that people cannot complain that Gears 2 is also glitchy.Gears 1 ran fine on my Laptop and I thank EPIC for providing such a wonderful game.

sorry but how long did it take for the first gears game to be ported to the pc, and yet pc players have been moaning about cliff even before the games release on the 360.
just get used to it gears 2 isnt comming out on pc, your more likly to see mario galaxy on the 360 than seeing gears 2 on the pc.

lol if you playing on a pirated/chipped/modded 360 its no wonder you cant play on live not only that but anyone with a modded xbox playing pirated game cant play multiplayer matches on live as microsoft instantly bans any account found playing on modded hardware which im in full support to them as the scum that pirate games/software cost the industry millions every year and you wonder why games cost so much, it all down to cheap scates not paying like all the other decent honest people out there (no piracy would mean cheaper games plus if the pirates haddnt made illeagl versions of the first gears you would have gears 2 on pc) so stop blaming Cliff Bleszinski its you fu.ck.ing pirates that need to rot in hell
