Gears of War walkthrough for Xbox 360, version 2.2. Covers original Xbox 360 release content, not PC DLC.

This FAQ was written prior to the release of the PC version of Gears of War. As such, the additional content in the PC version is NOT covered in this FAQ. Only content that was in the original Xbox360 release of the game is covered. Please refer to other FAQs or Wikis for information on this content. However, to my knowledge the PC and Xbox360 releases are mostly identical, so this FAQ may be used throughout the majority of Gears of War PC.
