With the "Games for Windows Live" bullshit I think that's likely. Apparently you can use a 360 controller with any Windows game now too? Glad there's G4WL Disabler apps.

Somehow I really, really doubt that. They would have to make an emulator for it, and I can't imagine that running on any hardware today.

why? the 360 doesn't really have any specialized hardware exclusive to it
the peripherals are already pc supported
that and the XNA framework is already supported on pc as well

I don't know of any tri-core consumer CPU. Either they would have to require people to have a quad core CPU or somehow mange to emulate three cores using just two.

What's the point in playing 360 games on pc? just play the pc version.

I can easily think of a dozen 360 exclusive worth playing on PC. Still don't think that 360 thing is gonna though.

Screen shots of Alpha release:

http://www.tek-9.org/forum/call_of_duty ... 80275.html

Some things that are noticed by the player and want to share with you:
- Maps looks good.
- Graphic settings is bugged, probably since the recommended driver version is not yet released.
- Very low recoil, tough there is bulletspread.
- Bullets bounce off metal.
- Surround sound is REALLY good, the sound of the rockets that flew by my head made me smile, explosions are really nice, a good deep drum.
- You can see your own legs when you look down, tough your weapon will stick thru your own leg... =x
- You do not walk fully silent when crouching.
- Infinite sprint.
- Tank can swim and jump (funny bug rofl)

It has nothing to do with EA, at least not officially. Just good ol' domain squatting.
