Forums - Microsoft - Free Gears of War 3 DLC incoming, Versus Booster Map Pack out later this month

A new complimentary DLC pack is on its way to Gears of War 3 later this month, developer Epic has announced.

Available for download from 24th November, the Versus Booster Map Pack offers five maps for public matchmaking playlists - two from Gears 1 (Swamp and Clocktower) and three from the just-released Horde Command Pack (Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive).

Those who've purchased the Horde Command Pack still have exclusive access to that pack's Horde fortification upgrades, additional playable characters and new weapon skins.

After that, there'll be one further DLC pack available before the year is out - the previously announced RAAM's shadow add-on from 13th December - with more expected in 2012.

That's really neat of Epic to do this. Getting 5 versus maps for free is about as good as it will get.

Simple. He has bad taste, proven by the fact that he is a Vikings fan.

Yes, take it from me, a Packers fan who has the game!



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Offering free DLC=Bomb

Offering free DLC that contains 3 maps from a recently paid DLC=Wtf?

I'd be pissed as hell if I purchased that DLC only to find that the maps (the thing I would have actually cared about) winds up being offered for free.



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

So many are pissed of about this, They get a season pass so they can have cheaper dlc only to hear that the first DLC will be free....Sure if you don't buy the DLC you can't use the maps in horde, don't get the weapon skins (that are not that special anyway) and three character skins that most would not use anyway because the game is already loaded with characters... Great for the ones who didn't bought the DLC but for the ones who did it feels a bit like a rip off because 90% of the players love the game for the MP and not for horde.... Their are ofcourse a few idiots who would trade it in for Forza 4... =p
