The campaign won't be 60fps though, just the multiplayer.
So far the beta plays well enough for me, I haven't put in a great amount of time into it but the 60fps boost really helps. As far as the campaign goes, I think the remade assets look great however I can understand it if some prefer the original's muted colors. With the XBO's backwards compatibility feature coming soon I have a feeling that Gears 2, 3, and Judgement might not be ported up to the XBO but I hope they still go ahead with it. Judgement and Gears 3 would look amazing with a few extra graphical upgrades.

Hmm. This might be a game I want to live digitally on my HD...
The deluxe is bullcrap.
