I think this could be a really big hit on the PC as long as they create dedicated servers, and not only local-based. Gears of War for PC would've been half-decent had they not taken the console approach to the multiplayer [oh, and if they had advertised].

Own this on 360, can't wait to play it on the PC!!

Looks much better on most cases. I think they removed most of the shading they used for long distant stuff and the drawing distance is increased.
