Official Gears of War 3 topic

I'm still downloading it. Started at about 11:30 AM and right now its at 67%. Words cannot describe just how annoyed I am with this.

Just beat the DLC. I wont spoil anything, but let me say this: it was a ton of fun.

Raam's Shadow was awesome. Really enjoyed the Gears 1 style evironments.

The next gears dlc has been revealed: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/7 ... anuary-17/

I'm pumped for the new skins even though I already have Thrashball Cole. I kinda wish we had gotten some more maps from gears 1 and 2 like Jacinto and maybe Raven Down.

Im pretty excited for this, especially with the multitude of new maps. Recruit Clayton sounds pretty interesting.

I bet the next one is gonna have Skorge since it was stated that he'd be in future DLC. Though I'm far from Skorge's biggest fan (I'll take RAAM anyday), I would really like to see what a campaign expansion with him would be like.

The achievements for the Fenix Rising DLC has been revealed:

•Now They Begin to Understand – Complete 12 waves of Beast on all Fenix Rising Maps. (20 points)
•Defending the Past – Complete all 50 waves of Horde on any of the Fenix Rising Maps. (25 points)
•Come to Poppa – Win a Versus multiplayer match as a team of five Recruit Claytons (any mode). (15 points)
•Locust, Forever – Win a Versus multiplayer match as a team of five Savage Marauders (any mode). (15 points)
•Time to Re-up – Achieve level 100 and choose to re-up for another tour of duty. (50 points)
•Again! – Achieve level 100 a second time and choose to re-up for another tour of duty. (50 points)
•I’ve Done it All! – Earn at least one of each of the original 132 combat ribbons. (75 points)

I seriously don't wanna do the Again! or the I've Done it All achievements. Too much of a hassle, IMO.

Downloaded Fenix Rising.

Savage Kantus = Skorge with a haircut.

Savage Marauder = Locust version of the guy from Hellraiser. I dont like the last minute changes they did to the face though.

The 4 DLC pack and last one for the Season Pass has been revealed! It is called the Forces of Nature pack and it comes out March 27th. Here are all of the maps:

-Jacinto
-Raven Down
-Cove
-Artillery
-Aftermath

DLC Characters:
Commando Dom (Limited)
Savage Grenadier Elite (Limited)
Mechanic Baird (Limited)
Savage Hunter

5 new weapon skins that are automatically unlocked once the DLC is downloaded and 2 more weapon skins that have to be unlocked by playing on the new maps (No word on if you have to do anything specifically on the maps). The 2 weapon skins were ones that fans were wanting apparently.

There are also "new" weapons on these maps dubbed the "Elemental Cleavers". There are 4 cleavers on the maps each with a specific ability (One stuns opponents, one does damage to people who get too close to the cleaver wielder, etc). There are also achievements for these weapons (obtain them and kill 25 people with each cleaver).

Epic has also announced the return of the popular gametype Guardian. Each game of Guardian will count as towards your Capture the Leader medals.

I'm pumped for this new DLC. I love Jacinto, it was one of my favorite maps in the series and its nice to see it return in Gears 3. I like the idea of the new Cleavers and I love it that they brought back Guardian. I'm glad that the Savage Grenadier Elite will be available for everybody. I could care less about Com Dom and Mech Baird.

^The new DLC seems really worth the price(I'm getting it with the Season Pass anyway). Can't wait for all the new content. The maps sound great, new characters, skins and achievements are always nice and I love Guardian.

Raven Down should be interesting to play on they showcased it last night on GTTV and it's REALLY tiny.

[Gyaos]

No Skorge? Hm, I was kinda expecting him. Ah well, I'm more of a RAAM person.

Raven Down, *shudders* I hated that the first time around, and with it's small size coupled with spawn protection, no thank you I would've taken any other Gears 1 map ANY other one it's great for exicution but forget any modes where you respawn spawn protection will be broken on this map. As for the rest of this I'm kinda meh honestly. The cleaver thing is kind of a cool idea but I don't see them being used that often the term "bringing a knife to gun fight" kinda describes this. The DLC characters are kind of a slap in the face to people who preordered the game or bought some sort of package to get the "exclusive" character if you ask me. The highlight to me is the weaponskins that come with it I'm sorry but I'm not gonna pay extra money just to get a diffrent color or effect on my lancer or shotgun it doesn't affect the guns performace in any way and even then I wouldn't pay for that I already spent 60 bucks on the game (90 if you count having to buy a new disc because the new cases are ass) plus the DLC maps and campaign. All that being said I'll end up getting this sure but only because I'm sure I won't be able to do quick matches without the DLC even though I've still yet to play on a phenix riseing level in quick match.
