First off what's this segregation between console and PC?

Any smart PC owner would know better than to assume there would be dedicated server support especially when Microsoft is shipping it with Windows LIVE. I installed, and beat the PC version of Gears of War, and it was a very good experience. However, the multiplayer is non existant.

PC gaming is where FPS started. Heck put that aside, Gears of War isn't even a FPS. It's in a third person perspective the whole game, but they did an excellent job at making the game mechanics work from third person. Gears of War was initially created for PC but was grabbed by MS and turned into a console game. In my personal opinion? Pushing new release FPS or third person games to console is screwing the whole world of gaming. The joy of FPS games? Was to customize your gaming experience.

The multiplayer experience is ruined without dedicated servers. The least they could do in this situation is make finding games easier. The best solution is to revamp the MULTIPLAYER platformof Gears of War for X360 and PC. Allowing for dedicated servers, nullifying **** about latency. At that point it's connectivity related.

Don't get me wrong if I was a business Man? Microsoft has done everything right. How else do you get people to buy your console? Create a MP system that will almost be useless on anything other than your console. Gears of War is like a Flagship for them, it's a money maker and they know it.

Okay Console gaming. I love consoles, they push the gaming community forward, even more so now. However the graphics technology and the pure processing power are further progressed by the PC community. It's the foundation for the TRUE gaming experience. I've owned almost every console released, and they were not ever originally intended to play these kind of titles.

To close, hopefully MS and EPIC will open their eyes and actually say okay lets put out a dedicated server system. There currently is no MP community for Gears on PC, most likely if MS and epic wait much longer there never will be.
