Huh, I thought it'd be a price cut for Season Pass, but free? Now I'm starting to think twice about not having it

I'll most likely pick this up. Been enjoying the multiplayer so far, don't have the season pass but 800 points isn't too bad.

Yea the 30$ season pass is quite an investment, but if it saves me munnies in the long run, might as well be a good investment. Plus you get an extra gun skin for buying the pass. They just need to bring my boy kim in on the dlc and i will be satisfied

I would consider getting the season pass if I was certain I'd stick with the game. Multiplayer is fun but I do wonder how long I'll play it.

Time to start that insane run

I'm in the same boat Joe. How much am I really going to be playing this 6 months or whenever they get around to releasing the rest of the DLC?

I would really like to know what the other DLC contains. $30 on blind faith is asking a lot. I am really looking forward to the campaign DLC that has been hinted at. Maybe a mini campaign from the Locust point of view? I'm okay with new horde and beast stuff too, but if it just maps then I'll pass.

Gears 2 had some pretty weak DLC. 3 maps that weren't even that good for $10. Then they bundled everything and you got 19 maps plus a campaign chapter for I think it was as low as $5 at one point. Boy did I feel jipped.

Watch as they do that all over again, then make it the same price as the season pass

Why did this have to come out the same day as uncharted 3 :-(

Had the best round of Gears 3 I've ever had, and it was accomplished during Torque Bow Tag

Haha, same here. 20 something kills and only 3 deaths. I love me the torque bow!

I'm sad that the Torque Bow Tag playlist is gone :cry:

New DLC announcement

Raam's shadow

When is it out?

-December 13th 2011

I have the Season Pass, what does it do?

-The Season Pass entitles you to the FIRST 4 DLC's
-You are able to download 'RAAM's Shadow' DLC pack at NO additional charge aslong as you have the Season Pass.
-You do not receive anything exclusive.
-It will not be downloaded already, you will have to download it.
-If you download the Season Pass after the release, you still get it as part of the Season Pass.

What is in the DLC Pack?

-The DLC pack contains a campaign that will last roughly 3 hours

-6 New and old characters available for both MP and the Campaign Pack.

-For the first time you are allowed to play as the hulking beast that is RAAM in campaign. Able to use his Kryll as a shield you finally get to crush the puny humans with the most badass character of ALL TIME!

-The events take place before Gears of war 1

-RAAM’s Shadow drops players into the events of Sera post-Emergence Day, as Zeta Squad is enlisted to evacuate Ilima City and protect the citizens against a Locust Kryll storm. Taking on the infamous Locust leader from Gears 1, General RAAM, Zeta is led by Michael Barrick (from Gears comics fame) and comprised of familiar faces such as Lt. Minh Young Kim (Gears 1) and Tai Kaliso (Gears 2), and also includes a new female comrade, Alicia Valera.

-In addition to that, there will be 6 new characters to use online, some new some old.

RAAM - General RAAM was a silent and savage Locust general. Once a Theron Guard, the cunning and ambitious RAAM usurped the military leadership of the Locust Horde through skill and intellect. When using him in campaign, it has been confirmed you are able to use the Kryll as a shield.

Minh Young Kim - Lieutenant Minh Young Kim was a Gear officer who served in the Coalition of Ordered Governments army during the Locust War, most notably during the Lightmass Offensive. A firm, honorable soldier with a "by-the-book" leadership style.

Michael Barrick- Corporal Michael Barrick was a former Stranded who enlisted with the Coalition of Ordered Governments army using Operation Lifeboat, becoming a Gear soldier.

Tai Kaliso - Corporal Tai Kaliso was a Gear soldier who hailed from Irohma Island in the South Islands. He joined the Coalition of Ordered Governments army after his hometown was wiped out by Union of Independent Republics forces during the Pendulum Wars. A boulder of a man, Tai's muscular appearance stands in contrast to his quiet, meditative personality.

Alicia Valera - No information given, except she is voiced by Aisha Tyler.

-Another character but I'm not sure who.

-Chocolate Weapon Skin Pack - YUM! A weapon skin covered in chocolate for all 5 Starting Weapons!

-Additional 250 Gamerscore for the New pack (Will update when I find out)

How much does it cost?

-RAAM’s Shadow separately, will cost you 1,200 Microsoft Points.
-Free when Season Pass is purchased.

I totally called a Locust campaign. Of course them talking about the RIP Gears maybe you only play as RAMM for part of it, I dunno.

1.200 is kind of pricey, maybe it is worth just getting the season pass at that point.

Thank goodness me and my buddy split the season pass. Can't wait to mow down some COGs as RAAM.

mscupcakes · **Posted:** Fri Oct 21, 2011 9:22 am

I think it's great they're adding more female characters for the COG but you'd think they'd add some more for the Locust too.

Exactly! When I can play as a Berserker or Lambent Zerker in multiplayer I'll be happy ;-)

Can't you play as the Locust Queen?

If not I'm sure she will be DLC. They took all the time to make her a character model and she just rode on a bug the entire game.

Wouldn't a beserker model look kinda funky in a regular hitbox?
