Microsoft Game Studios today shipped the PC version of Gears of War to retail, putting it on track to be in stores later this week. Gears of War on PC features five new campaigns, new multiplayer modes and full Games for Windows — LIVE support for online multiplayer gameplay.
In addition to retaining all of the content from its Xbox 360 counterpart and all previously released downloadable content (seven multiplayer maps and the Annex game mode), Gears of War for PC features five new campaign chapters (including an epic battle with the fearsome Brumak), three exclusive multiplayer maps, a “King of the Hill� game type and support for DirectX 10.
Most interesting to multiplayer nuts, however, is the inclusion of a game editor that allows users to develop user-created levels via access to the Unreal Engine 3 Editor.
