You'll get access to the first act of the campaign and some multiplayer stuff from what I can tell. It's limited to 10 hours.

What's the download size for the trial? If I remember correctly, the full game is over 100GB?

Approximate download size 4.67 MB – 121.23 GB

That's about as accurate as a broadband company stating the line speed you can expect to download it :angry:

I'd like to know which part of the game takes up 4.67MB.. Maybe it's the cover art image lol. Apparently it's a 121GB download for the trial.. avforums.com/thr…302

It took me about 2.5 hours on virgin media 104mbps. It's so sad each time I reinstall windows or change laptop I have to reinstall whole 121gb

Large file size, slow servers, theres a great combo.
Is this any good? loved the first Gears..

None of the sequels lived up to the first game IMO.
Gears 4 isn't as bad as judgement but it's worse than the original trilogy unfortunately.

any good? a quick look at the forums will say on average, no.
Ah damn just when I'm running out of space typical :angry:

Me and my son enjoyed playing through the campaign in spilt screen. Ran really well on a Rx480.

For anyone jumping on, be warned that they recently introduced QoS in matchmaking which isn't currently working as intended. Check out the game forums for any of the complaint threads that haven't been deleted yet.
Games 4 Windows is cancer IMO. Plus its a microsoft game so dont expect them to go above and beyond when you have a problem with their game on PC. They'll most likely tell you they cant help you because the game wasnt for the xbox platform. I know a few people that had issues with their games on the Games For Windows Live platform and that was almost the answer each and every time you contacted their support with a problem that wasnt console related.
Ontop of that, they wont go above and beyond to optimise their games for folks with dual graphic cards for the G4W version while on other platforms (where available) the developer can add it into the game.

if it's 121gb for the first act of the campaign and "some multiplayer stuff", i shudder to think what the full game download size will be ..

You're obviously downloading the full game and are locked out of certain stuff.
