I'm not so sure they made it for the PC, they made it for the Xbox and started with the PC version the moment that the xbox version hit the selves. They originally intended it for multiple platforms not just for PC.

GoW is suckier than something which was designed by a team of top-notch engineers to be sucky.

It's a bowl of suck with a capital S and an upsized order of suckiness.

I'll only play it fifteen times.

this is a jest. it has to be pointed out that this game is far from the immersive, earth shattering, gaming experience being expounded in this thread. it's bog standard console fare... mildly entertaining, but still a laughable approximation of a good game

Not sure about COD4 but GoW should be ownage, although I'm not sure if its not going to be a lot easier with a mouse.

to get the game running online you need to do two things:

1) create a windows live account... its fairly simple and the game walks you through it... Please not, that last time i checked (halo 2) they still dont have live service servers in SA so they dont allow people from SA to make valid Live accounts... to get round this, go to the UK site and make an account there (its free)

2) start uo the game, and login to your live account.. it should download the live software onto your PC (so that next time you install a game that supports live, you dont need to enter details...)

now just find a server and have fun... The game is awesome... I played it first on the 360 was a fun experience... havent gotten it on the PC yet, but i now what you are going through with getting Live to work right,,, it took me a long time to get HAlo 2 working well online :|

I loved it on 360, But, The only reason I got it for pc was the 5 extra acts? And to KILL the Brumak? I played a bit last night and it seems Exactly the same as on 360? Where are the extra ACTS??? :?

so there is no fee after a month for a live account?
i know on 360 they give u a month free then after that u must pay,
but then skelme 360 owners create another free account,
they just say the from another location and create another one month free account, f*&^(& but they clever!
