I'd have kept the game had the online not have been so poor, but Epic don't shy from DLC! Maxed out the Achivement Points avail. within a year, ouch!

Good for those that can hack the awful online, but not for me . . .

To expensive, theres no way im buying any GOW 2 dlc's. Im fed up of DLC's, i wish they didn't exist. They charge a stupid amount for like 3 maps or a couple of hours of gameplay :(

i'll wait, 1200 points just too expensive. epic u suck

Comment #12 by Mikey1610
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:22:49 AM

7 new maps, a new chapter in story mode and loads of new achievements. How is 1200 points too expensive or will your paper round not cover it? The all fronts at 1600 points is even better if you don't already have the sbowblind and combustible.

Comment #13 by Bell 2d
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:23:32 AM

Dam as soon as i spend Microsoft Points on Fallout DLC the Dark Corner Maps come out. Looks like i'll have to wait for these.

Comment #14 by CDurrant
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:23:42 AM

I'm definately going to be getting the 1600 pack, since i have not got snowblind or combustible maps, and it seems much better value.

Comment #15 by Jamerz101
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:25:53 AM

@13, I've done exactly the same thing as it's now cheap.

Good things come to those who wait

Comment #16 by Red Eyes Metal
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:30:58 AM

Not too bad a deal...let's say this for the 1600:

New stuff = 1200

Flashback = 400
Snowblind = 800
Combustible = 800

So a grand total if you bought them all separate: 3200.

So basically, you're getting everything on a discount. And come on people, 1600 ain't that much. Unless you forget, TLAD was 1600, and The Shivering Isles was 2400.

I'll be picking up the 1200 deal, since I have the snowblind. I didn't buy the 1st pack cuz I thought 3 maps just wasn't worth it.

Comment #17 by Colbare
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:36:15 AM

definitely an awesome deal if you didn't get any previous map packs.. i did and still i think the extra 7 for 1600 isn't bad. remember you're basically just getting multiplayer maps, that deleted scene was originally deleted for a reason.

Comment #18 by spookyblade
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:37:04 AM

ill wait for this to be deal of the week

Comment #19 by steadfastlamb

so happy i didnt get the other maps earlier. now i get all of it for a lot cheaper.

Comment #20 by Colbare
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:38:40 AM

edit: extra 7 for 1200, i guess it could've been 800 if i was online that friday damn it!

Comment #21 by Oultranator0731
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:41:22 AM

lol at th guy who thinks 1200Microsoft Points is worth 7 Maps and a short campaign chapter which at most is abou an hour for both sides, DLC prices aree too high, 3 maps should = 400MP.
1600MP is a good deal though but i wont be getting either because im not really bothered with Gears anymores

Comment #22 by bret987

Comment #24 by jackanape
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 07:52:53 AM

Well this would be a bargain if the All Fronts collection hadn't been acidentally released early last week for only 800 points. Kind of makes this look like a rip off now.

Comment #25 by blackout529
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:02:27 AM

Can't wait! Downloading it right now. Sucks that I already bought all the previous map packs, but not really bothered by it.

epic is garbage

Comment #27 by mijihon
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:08:38 AM

I'd get it because I do enjoy Gears, but the online matchmaking process is unbareable, it takes me about 15 minutes to find a match with an Open NAT setting.

I just cant be bothered with waiting that long for a game which ultimatly ends up lasting half the time I waited to play it.

Comment #28 by Nuclearbiscuit
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:11:44 AM

Epic are just milking this game for all its worth. I mean half the maps that have been released were gears 1 maps such as fuel depot and now War Machine, they should have been apart of the Flashback Map Pack. Total money grabbers.

Everyone that bought the map packs as they came out are getting totally shafted by this. Including the people who most likely bought the map packs when they came out are most likely huge gears fans.

Are they dropping the price of any of the other map packs?

Comment #31 by towns
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:26:19 AM

@16 sure other content packs were around the same price but how can you possibly compare a map pack, which provides new actual new element to the game, just a different map to play on, with something like TLAD or shivering isles which provided hours of gameplay with new storylines etc. sure maps are great and its awesome that they are release tons of maps for only 1600 points but you still cant compare it to the content of other games

Comment #32 by ShyGuy
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:31:32 AM

BLAH.....

Comment #33 by SproOve
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:37:08 AM

#12 for the stand alone its too expensive
i already have all other packs and i didnt ever say that 1600 points for all fronts is expensive at all. this ones a good deal, but 400 points less for rarely 25% of the whole content is too expensive.

Comment #34 by TheToiletBrush
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 08:38:17 AM

I'm not really leaning towards getting this....but I buy all sorts of shit when I'm drunk late at night.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:02:35 AM

EPIC AND CLIFFY B. SUCK!! BUNCH OF MONEY GRUBBING WHORES!! THIS DLC IS A REAL KICK IN THE NUTS TO THE DEDICATED PEOPLE THAT BOUGHT EACH DLC THE MOMENT IT WAS AVAILABLE. THEN NOT EVEN 8 MONTHS LATER, IT COMES TO BE, THAT YOU CAN BUY ALL OF THE PACKS AT A REAL STEAL. AND NOT EVEN A BREAK TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE EVERYTHING ALREADY... I HOPE CLIFFY B. GETS 2 FLAT TIRES ON HIS LAMBORGINI...

Comment #38 by STZ513
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:11:04 AM

@28 look at Halo. A lot of their maps are revamped remakes. I don't see people bitching about that. I guess its just because there is no milking with Halo, even though they are coming out with 4 games in 4 years. Also, they sell 3 maps for 800 points too. They bundle in map packs with their new games so people will buy them. SO just all you babies SHUT UP!!!

Comment #39 by weesplash
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:13:56 AM

Will get this when I get more Microsoft points. I'm in know real rush though

Comment #40 by Crazy Best
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:16:41 AM

Epic's worthless online matchmaking system made me quit Gears 2 within the first month it was released. I couldn't stand it. There's a simple reason as to why Modern Warfare is more successful - NO MATCHMAKING SYSTEM. How hard is it to realize that? People don't give a shit if the player they're playing is level 50 or 5. They just want to play fast.

Comment #41 by STZ513
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:19:20 AM

Oh and ODST is coming out with EVERY map pack, lets do the math. If people bought each map pack as it came out:
Heroic- 800
Legendary- 800
Mythic 1- 800
Mythic 2- 800
Grand total of 3200 MP which equals $40.

Comment #42 by Zmoke
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:25:29 AM

I personally have bought all the Halo 3 map packs (expect Mythic2, yet) what number 41 listed but I still think ODST will be worth of my money. You know, the Firefight mode and a very high quality campaign that you can't see every day coming.

Comment #43 by Skillet
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:32:38 AM

I never buy map packs.

Ever.

But... I think I'll be picking this up later. Gears 2 should be in the mail tomorrow and considering I just saved about $20 on it, I might as well get the maps as well.

I still refuse to pay for Halo 3 maps. I'll just get them with ODST anyway.

For those who said it's way too expensive, that depends on if you bought the Combustible and Snowblind maps already or not.

The 1600 All Fronts pack includes EVERYTHING. It's a huge discount. If Cliffy B were here, I'd kiss his boots.

Comment #45 by TheFragileArmy
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:36:43 AM

I would probably get this but none of my friends on XBL play Gears 2 and its not really that fun with random people. I really only like horde mode anyways, if it comes down in price i'll think about it.

Comment #46 by ChuckG11
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:38:48 AM

quit complaining this is a steal and for those of you buying that dlc for fallout 3 that is the true ripoff what are they on dlc pack 5 now, the game sucks and they are trying to capitalize by putting excessive dlc out for that garbage game, also the dark corners wont be DOTW prolly until next year so i wouldnt wait just buy it now.

Comment #47 by VladimirK

Comment #48 by TehClownsta
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:46:46 AM

Traded this game in months ago, and #46 Fallout 3 is one of the best games on the 360, Gears of War 2 sucks. This of course, is what people call opinions, and everyone has one.

Comment #49 by CheesyToast111
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:49:52 AM

They are pretty good maps, I downloaded them this morning, War Machine made good glad they brought it back, deleted scene is good more entertaining using stealth though.

Comment #50 by tripleb2k
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:50:55 AM

pretty excited to get this! I love playing gears online. the price isn't too bad for this neither. my only compliant is the point system and how they never keep to is. you always have to buy more points so every 3-4 purchases, you don't have to add any. set the point system to prices these companies actually use so I don't have to buy 2000 points for a 1200 package.

Comment #51 by WickedD365
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 09:56:30 AM

Downloaded and played a couple of maps this morning, Nowhere and another one. Was alot of fun, good to have new maps to play on, gettign bored with the old ones.

Comment #52 by Fata1Stryke
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 10:12:04 AM

Ugh, I was all set for this, and then my 360 died on me on Saturday. :( Ah well, I can wait a few weeks.

Also, @#41, the "Mythic 2" maps are only going to be included with ODST, not as separate downloads.

Comment #53 by Moon Knight 875
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 10:27:30 AM

@11 maybe if you would have washed the dishes and did your other chores you would have gotten your allowance, then you could download it, what a whiny little bitch!

Comment #54 by NaughtyNinja74
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 10:27:40 AM

It needs to be 800 MSP for just the Dark Corners for me to even think about getting it...1600 for everything is still a steal...I feel like I'm getting screwed for getting all the DLC when it came out

Yes, it should be available and Game Stop and possibly other retailers. Its currently unavailable on Amazon but that might just be temporary.

Comment #58 by Bell 2d
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 10:36:48 AM

at 41

The heroic map pack doesn't cost 800MSP it's Free so all the Map Packs = 1600 Because you get Mythic Map 2 with Halo ODST. And i know they will be on the market place for 800MSP so thats 2400MSP not 3200MSP for all the Map Packs plus the 2 Map Packs which are free: Heroic and cold storage.

1.- Not DXP at any map.

3.- "Humans Maps" are Incredible.

Comment #61 by Brianzor
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 11:19:58 AM

@55 and 57

Cliffy B. actually pulled the idea of releasing DLC on disc because he didn't want people sharing it like they did with all the Fallout 3 content. So unfortunately, Xbox Live is the only way to get this.

Comment #62 by Goldgunner007
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 11:27:09 AM

Comment #64 by MG6490
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 11:57:39 AM

Only worth it if you have NO map packs previously, the maps alone are worth 2400 points! then the singleplayer part seems to be worth between 200 and 400 points so for 1600 points this seems good, but like i said, only to those who have yet to invest in maps.

Comment #65 by SimpIer
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 12:03:04 PM

1600 :(

@53 do you just insult people on the internet to feel "big". I'm complaining about the price to, why does everyone who has never bought DLC get a big price break, so #11 is right, FU@% EPIC.

Comment #67 by SubtleSarcasm
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 12:10:57 PM

While I'm not complaining about the preice per se, people who act like, "It's just 1200 points, get a job, blah blah blah," need to seriously fuck off. Some people who work full time have grown up bills to pay and a strict budget to keep to dont have room to spend 10 and 15 dollars every week on extra content. Not everybody's mommy gives them a handout every time their spoiled brat child wants something. It's called being responsible... try it.

Someone help me out here please, because this is going to be my first DLC I DL.

Okay, Webb said this was coming with a poster and a strategy guide. The post is only talking about the XBL Marketplace, which I hardly ever use except for demos.

So would I have to buy this in stores to get the All Fronts DLC w/ poster and strategy guide, or do I have to DL All Fronts but get the poster and strategy guide separate?

Thanks...

#11 I'm sorry but you really can't say that. Perhaps your current supply of money can't allow $15 to be spent but for said $15 you get 7 outstanding (I have them and played on all.) multiplayer maps and a very funny campaign level.

Comment #71 by Lord Aldemar
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 12:44:57 PM

1600 points is a damn good deal for the All Fronts, I'm glad I waited.

Personally, all devs should do this; rather than releasing map pack by map pack.

This is not available in retail or on disc at all. They canceled the retail kits a couple months back. My friend had on reserved at Gamestop and they called to tell him to come get his money.
I'm glad they decided to kill the kits, I didn't need the old maps.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 01:00:57 PM

I'm glad I wasted the money on all the other packs when I basically could have had them all for 400 points now.

Piss on you Epic.

Comment #75 by Slegger
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 01:05:26 PM

I'm not getting this... Gears 2 has turned into one of the most unpleasant online experience ever.

Laggy, glitchy, shotgun-fest, melee-fest, rolling-fest, and general crap.

I'd get this for the achievements, but seeing as how you need to be level 50 to get them.. screw that.

Comment #76 by kgould01
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 01:07:23 PM

@28. I totally agree with you. I bought the other map packs and now they are selling everything at one cheap price. We totally got ripped off. Now its time to spend 1200 more points on gears.

Double exp is a good thing, especially on Horde. Now if I could just get into a group that actually plays when it's a map they don't need for the achievement. So often, half my team just stands at spawn waiting to die.

Comment #79 by ChuckG11
Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 01:21:46 PM

at #48 fallout 3 is a joke and i laugh at the thought of you saying its one of the best games on the system it truly is a terrible game, great graphics and the scenery is good, but a slow down to aim and not to mention other aspects of the fighting and shooting are garbage these are the reasons im not a fan, nothing to keep you hooked in just 50 bucks worth of dlc, which two or three should been in the retail version to begin with.

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 @ 01:38:31 PM

i really have had enough of dlc. its just way to overpriced!!! i realy hated gears 2 online as well cause of the matchmaking which is why i stopped playing it. whould get the new dlc if it was only 1200 for everything cause at least that way i could forgive epic for there awful system. i think i am just gonna save my ms points now for perfect dark

I have to say this is actually a great deal for once. I was a bit pissed at snowblind and combustible as the maps weren't very good and Cliffy ragged on Halo for selling 3 maps @ 800 pts. But 7 maps and a campaign scene that's co-opable? Cool.

I can see if people are pissed off if they bought all the map packs before......but cmon 1200 points for a deleted campaign mission, 7 NEW MAPS, new achievements, more maps to play horde on, and a double xp WEEK so u can play the new maps on?.....all that for around 15 bucks? thats a damn good deal, and the all fronts collection is just an outstanding deal, Im for sure getting that seems how the only map pack i have is flashback.

@46
Fallout is Garbage?
Rofl, i bet it is, and the reason their on DLC pack 5 is that people BUY them, because they are worth the money.
I would get this but it isn't worth it for me, expecially as the price of All fronts pisses me off after i brought all the other packs.
In fact, the reason they're so cheap is probably because EPIC are getting desperate to draw people back into the game.
Plus the new ranking systems better than the first by far, but its just a number, rank symbols would look soooo much better

Trust me I don't care about the price, but comparisons have been made to LATD and Shivering Isles which isn't really comparble to just one story chapter and a few maps.

I have to disagree with a lot of ppl but for the reason of writing out a list, I disagree with #94. You just don't understand business. Epic/Microsoft know that MANY people have bought the map packs already and they know that there are a group of people that WILL NOT pay for these map packs. This All Fronts Collection draws these "will not pay" players in and shows them a good deal. They pay. Them along with the patient ones who wanted to pay LESS. Epic is not trying to be mean, they are trying to be a business and make money.

I just hate reading these stupid messages saying, "Epic [or other comapany}, how could you do this to your loyal customers?! You suck so much for trying to make money!"

@66.. I don't wanna hear no trash out of you, you don't even have a gamertag assigned to a forum profile, which leads me to believe your gamerscore is shit,probably like yourself, stop wasting the air that i breath..fool!

too be honest i like the maps but the deleted scene was not worth it. it was too short and both choices in it were almost the same apart from one being guns blazing and the other one was more sneaking around, totally stupid....i think they should stop wasting their time making more dlc and fixes all the glitchs and bugs for multiplayer ....come on EPIC STOP BEING SO CHEAP ..................AND GET AND EXTERNAL SERVER YOU BASTARDS.. PEACE ooh and i totally forgot it was to expensive and a rip off to everybody that already has the other maps

@98
I can see what you're saying, but come on, Gears hasn't even been out for 3/4's of a year and they've practically made all maps that the actual 'Big' Gears fans have already brought down to 1/4 of the price each. So basically they're annoying and 'ripping off' (Can't think of any other words to decribe it as) the loyal customer. How is this fair to the loyal gears of war fans who purchased all the other DLC?
This is just my own opinion, but then again, i always preferred Gears 1 to 2, apart from for the story.
@79
You make me laugh as well mate, as i went and had a look at your gamercard and you haven't even played Fallout.:O You're slateing something you haven't even bothered to play, wow thats retarded if you don't mind me saying.

Argument with (79) continued :l
currently on gave it 96/100, it won numerous GOTY awards for 2008, and won approval from many critics. SO maybe you would like to start respecting other people opinions now, and think before you speak next time.

if they ever do make a tu5 they probably wont but if they do 1 of the maps should be the rift worm from the campaign ur inside it and u fight other people in side the worm its a multiplayer map that would be cool!!!

Anyone who thinks 1200 is overpriced is retarded. seven maps and a campaign mission not to mention its only 400 more for 11 previously released maps. Name a better DLC map pack deal out there I dare you. Only the GRAW 2 DLC's can match it but those came out a little too late Gears is still goin strong.

Level 100 here I come... that is if I don't break all my controllers beforehand.

@107 i agree 1200 aint a rip off for 7 maps and a deleted scene, it is a greater deal then alot of games like 800 points for 3 maps, gears 2 is my all time favourite game since TU4 yes it wasnt that great at first but they have done alot to it and there aint nearly as much lag as before, but gettin this soon and cod waw map pack 3 cant wait

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
