    Re: Gears of War 3

    Today Microsoft and **** Games announced the Horde Command Pack game add-on for Gears of War 3 is launching Nov. 1.
    While you review the high rez screen shots I’ve posted, here are the details directly from the press release (with my emphasis) :

    Taking you deeper into the fight with three explosive new maps, three new playable characters, two new weapon skins, and additional achievements worth 250 Gamerscore, the Horde Command Pack also includes new fortification upgrades to help you mow down the Lambent and Locust threats in the fan-favorite Horde mode.

    Available for 800 Microsoft Points or for download automatically to consumers who have purchased the “Gears of War 3” Season Pass, which entitles you to the game’s first four game add-ons at a 33 percent discount, the Horde Command Pack includes:
    Three spectacular new maps:
    • Blood Drive – The Jacinto Medical Plaza was overwhelmed by evacuated citizens after the government-sanctioned Hammer Strikes, and the ensuing riots quickly turned this safe haven into a dangerous inferno. An abundance of high ground and funneled choke points make this map a returning favorite to Horde.
    • Rustlung – Once the pride of the Royal Tyran Navy, the foredecks of this decommissioned battleship are now riddled with bullet holes. Any team with the fortitude to hold the exposed central torpedo bay will find that the ship’s Loader has been replaced with a battle-ready Silverback mech suit.
    • Azura – This island resort was once the exclusive domain of Sera’s educated elite, but the tranquil water gardens and lush foliage have become a hotly contested combat zone. Dual snipers overlook a powerful explosive weapon, while the defensive central platform may be your last resort of retreat.
    New fortification upgrades:
    • Command Center – A brand new type of fortification that allows you to call in fire support from sniper teams, mortar strikes and even multiple Hammers of Dawn.
    • Decoy Upgrade – A new fortification level that turns your decoy into an Onyx Guard bot that will fight in your defense.
    • Sentry Upgrade – This upgrade adds a fire bolt sentry that deals much more damage and is very effective against Berserkers.
    • Silverback Upgrade – This advancement allows you to upgrade your Silverback exo-suit with devastating rockets and extra levels of repair cost reduction.
    New characters:
    • Onyx Guard
    • Big Rig Dizzy
    • Bernie
    New weapon skins:
    • Team Plasma
    • Jungle Camo
    Also playable in Beast mode and privately hosted Versus matches, the Horde Command Pack promises to extend your “Gears of War 3” experience with countless hours of multiplayer mayhem on Xbox LIVE

        Looks good, especially command center upgrade. Also I like the sentry upgrade. I hadn't played against beserkers until a few nights ago and had no idea you had to use the scorcher on them. Which is weird because in beast mode I've never seen the AI use the scorcher against beserkers. I just figured they were tanks who took a ton of ammo.

          I still can't get over how much I'm still playing this game. It's just so good and polished. Very happy with it and glad I bought the season pass as it gives me more reason to keep playing.

          I haven't even touched the campaign yet, having too much fun playing Horde/Beast with friends.

            I will say that I haven't had this much fun with a MP game all year and it is just so refined.

            You have to play the campaign, one of my favorites in a long time. Don't forget, I'm also biased towards this franchise.

              Yeah, I plan on getting to it over my Thanksgiving or Christmas vacations. Now just going through the online.

                DLC is looking good so far! Looking forward to Blood Drive, loved that map in Gears 2. Now if they could only bring back Raven Down from Gears 1.... that map was easily the best map in Gears 1 in my opinion.

                  Looking forward to this DLC. Blood Drive will be popular with everyone, I would like to see Fuel Depot make another appearance in future DLC, for sure.

                  +1 for a Raven Down return also!

                    yea i dont play quick match because it just seems way to easy, and playing against bots a lot doesnt make me wanna even try.

                        I'm hoping the "available for private versus games" thing is a temporary thing and the new maps will eventually be rolled out to the public playlists.

                        *update*
                        Rod Fergusson said they will be available later on for the public versus matches

                            Those 15 games were the same lobby of players, but I agree with you, Quick Match is too easy. I only play it if I'm playing with randoms. Every time I play ranked, I just get paired up with randoms against a full party of 5 and get destroyed every time...

                              Raven Down would be awesome to bring back. It was so small which led to those intense shotty fights. Especially 1 v 1 when you would have both guys slowly but surely getting closer to each other and eventually a big shotgun showdown would commence.. I loved that map to death. That and Process was another good map from the first Gears.

                                I enjoyed Raven Down in the first one as well but if they brought it back it would be a sawed-off fest.
