Was wondering when this type of content would come. Definitely makes the season pass worth it now :)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:18 AM
My two favorite Asian characters along w/ RAAM that is... awesome...Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:18 AM
Sweet!!! Got the pass right after release. Cant wait to play!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:18 AM
Might rethink my choice not to get the season pass now...sounds amazing. I always loved RAAM.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:21 AM
Tai AND Raam! My multiplayer experience is about to be fulfilled!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:21 AM
I absolutely love this! Great setting for a DLC.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:22 AM
Aw I just emailed this inThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:28 AM
Wait, does the Season Pass give you every DLC for free, or just discount it?Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:28 AM
Meh, it's good their releasing new content like this but I'm more interested in games like Halo, Battlefield 3, MW 3 and AC. If there wasn't so many other great games coming out I would have bought the season pass!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:28 AM
I'll take it!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:29 AM
Well, season pass really is a great deal :-)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:30 AM
Still debating whether or not to buy the season pass. I'm only interested in Horde and Campaign DLC, so only the Command Pack and this one would be buys for me. I have a feeling the other 2 DLCs will be for Versus though, and since Command Pack and RAAM's Shadow cost 2000 together, there'll be no point in buying the Season Pass.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:31 AM
They aren't wasting any time unleashing the onslaught of DLC's.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:32 AM
@8: You get every piece of the first 4 dlcs for FREE when you pay 2400 for the season pass. People still get this confused today FMLThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:32 AM
#7 I wouldn't waste your time trying to inform them of new content. I managed to find out some important information about a year ago that they were not aware off so I informed one of the admin's. The bastards published everything I told them and gave me no credit. They also wouldn't reply to my messages so as far as I'm concerned I'm not bothering to try and contribute to this site in that was!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:33 AM
@14 - Of course they would, if they just bought it. If you're gunna be a mug about replying don't bother in the future. FMLThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:33 AM
So excited but wheres Skorge he is suppost to be in this DLC too! @8 If you have the season pass you get all DLC for free @12 If you plan on buying any DLC the season pass is worth itThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:34 AM
@2 - Tali is samoan not asian.....Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:34 AM
FUCK me 1200 jesus. better be awesome !Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:35 AM
@14 Lol I know! It's like seriously did you read anything about the season pass hahahaha of course you don't have to buy 2400 Points worth and then still pay more. PEOPLE WHEN YOU BUY THE SEASON PASS YOU GET ALL DLC FOR FREE! < HOpefully that helps.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:35 AM
Sounds freaking awesome. Can't wait to use Raam again.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:36 AM
i'm with you josh 7* i'm gunna have halo mw3 and AC:rev to play + nov gears & this now. damn lifes busy for a gamer !Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:36 AM
Fan-dabby-tastic.......really glad I got that season pass now :)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:36 AM
@17 It's only worth it if the content I want will exceed 2400 MSP. I don't really want any Versus DLC, so that's ruled out. I've heard about some campaign DLC with Michael Barrick in it, so maybe that'll make it worth it.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:37 AM
The one thing that really caught my eye was 'Chocolate Weapon Set'. Now that I have any idea of what the upcoming dlc is going to be I think I can happily buy the season pass for $30 or 2400 microsoft points.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:38 AM
@20 - BECAUSE I HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET, WHICH IS WHY I ASKED YOU MORON ALSO, WHY ARE YOU TALKING IN CAPS?!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:39 AM
@18: He's actually a "South Islander" - neither Asia or Samoa exist on Sera. :PThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:40 AM
This will rock!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:50 AM
@24-Learn to read before you post. This IS the dlc with Barrick in it.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:50 AM
I still havn't beaten him on insane mode(or whatever the hardest is called) on the original game, but everytime me and my mate get to the last bit with him and can't beat him we leave it a few days come back to it for it to be lost so have to do the whole game again, only problem with the first gameThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:52 AM
Can't wait!!!! Also for season pass holders this is a nice $25 paid back :DThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:53 AM
wow, that is AWESOME!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:54 AM
*both DLC's come to $25Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:57 AM
This is going to be brilliant.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:08 AM
@35 - Another pointless, off-topic post? Why has this tool not been banned yet?Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:09 AM
Can't wait for this. 3 more hours of campaign. SWEET!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:12 AM
@24 if the DLCs are anything like the ones in Gears2, the "Verses DLC" that you are talking about will still bring the new content (maps/characters) to the other modes (Horde/Beast), and include additional cheevos to those modes too.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:12 AM
@36 - Before I get flamed, yes I know his post was not off-topic, I typed it out wrong. What I meant was it seems some people just post because they can.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:12 AM
More overhyped nonsenseThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:16 AM
Surprised the second DLC is priced at 1200 - makes no difference to me though as I got the season pass day 1. Also surprised how soon it's coming out; I had heard somewhere that it would be 1 DLC per quarter. How anyone can say the season pass isn't worth it is beyond me. The addition of the DLC makes it a no brainer! Looking forward to seeing the achievements for both packs.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:21 AM
The season pass is certainly worth it now. I agree with 14 though, I thought we were supposed to get DLC each quarter lol. Anywho, both DLC's equal 2000 MSP now and the season pass is good for 2 more so its certainly worth it for those who want DLC right away. Of course a year or two down the road we will have sales but this really is one of the best deals. And a chocolate weapon set? That's interesting, I wonder if it's going to be animated so it kind of oozes around the gun lol.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:27 AM
I LOvE THIS FUCKING GAME NOW :D DECEMBER NEED TO HURRY UP AND GET HERE WITH MY RAAM AND CHOLCATE CAMO :DThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:36 AM
I like the idea of the DLC but in all honesty in just happy I will get my multiplayer character back. Been using RAAM since launch of Gears 1.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:38 AM
BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:49 AM
If I have spare money after buying all these damn games I'll probably get the season pass. Problem is I still have to pay off my collectors editon of Skyrim, Aliens Colonial Marines, Halo CEA, and my collectors edition of Saints Row the Third.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 09:51 AM
Sounds good, Hopefully all the additional characters will be available to use in horde ect.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:05 AM
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:07 AM
Now I know i made a good decision in getting a season pass!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:12 AM
makes season pass awesome value for money now!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:13 AM
6 NEW MULTIPLAYER CHARACTERS!!!!! SWEET!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:15 AM
i think its a disgrace nowadays that games are sold with the intention to add so much more to it to gain even more money, i know thats the point of a business but you dont buy a car off someone knowing that you'll only be able to brake 2 months later at an added cost...Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:17 AM
season pass has made the best deal but only for gearsThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:26 AM
AHHHHHH man i need money for the season pass!!! Thats my battlefield 3 pre order cancelled :DThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:26 AM
I need to get the pass but still got 800 for the horde pack on Nov.1stThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:00 AM
@52 I think you are missing the point and you example is incorrect. A better example would be like buying some upgraded stuff for your car a couple of months down the line i.e. Enhancing the performance of your car. Your example implies GOW3 won't function properley without the OPTIONAL DLC, which of course is untrue. And I don't think anyone can say that the amount of content available on the disc without DLC isn't worth 40 quid. It's already better value for money than most games.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:07 AM
sooooo looking foward to this!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:09 AM
Amazing, I always thought RAAM was the best and baddest Locust ever. Great news and I hope they will also make him playable MP character:-)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:15 AM
I love Epic!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:17 AM
@52 but you bought/play CoD BO... Knowing that CoD MW3's right around the corner and play the DLCs? The companys will just keep popping out games with less and less content know that people will always keep buying the DLCs know people want new content and the continuing "achievement whoring" go back to the good ol days were games werent about just achievements but fun. See how long gamers stay gamers. OT: Since theres an achievement in Horde Command Pack as to 5 players playing as Onyx Guards on Boss wave... Maybe theyll have an achievement like... Femme Fatality RAAM 50 GS In Horde mode, played all 5 unique females and beat RAAM in Boss Wave (Anya, Sam, Civi Anya, Bernie, Alicia)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:20 AM
Great news! I cannot wait to play as RAAM.He's so BEASTThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:23 AM
@60 if they introduced RAAM as a boss wave in horde, that would be, well, EPIC !Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:27 AM
i traded it in already i didnt think it was greatThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:28 AM
@60 i bought one piece of DLC for that...and mw3 is nothing to do with it, its not even made by the same people... @56 i know my example is a little extreme as a car with no brakes is an unfinished product unlike gears 3, however games are getting an extra 20 quid per person on little bits being added every month or so...unless it is a completely new idea that they simply hadnt thought of when the game comes out i think it should either be on the disc or free dlc...not forcing people to fork out constantlyThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:35 AM
nice cant wait for that :DThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:37 AM
Ah RAAM, I missed you! I almost threw in Gears 1 just to have a trip down memory lane. I can't wait for the DLC, looks like Epic is holding to their word on the load of DLC.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:38 AM
CANT WAIT FOR THIS!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:38 AM
@64 I agree with what your saying. I lost alot of respect for Epic after hearing DLC is already on the disc. And with the camos at such a high price this game just seemed like an attempt to squeeze that last little bit of money out of this great trilogy. That said I love the game and will happily buy the next Gears of War game which will more than likely be Gears of War: The Pendulum Wars.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:02 PM
RAAM was my multiplayer character in both gears 1 and 2. Come back to me RAAM....come back.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:08 PM
At the rate that these DLC's are coming out, it's pretty obvious that there's going to be more than just four DLC packs. I hope this new campaign mission is available in Arcade mode.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:19 PM
I would pay 1200 just for the Chocolate skin yum!.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:32 PM
Any DLC Raam related gets an instant approval from meThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:36 PM
does this mean we get to play as raam in the story or someone totaly different?Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 12:53 PM
Can November get any more busy? I have Gears 3, Forza 4, and Batman: AC, plus will be picking up AC: Revelations, MW3, and Skyrim, and now the dlcs for Gears, plus new cheevos for Halo: Reach. Damn, so much for gaming being a way to relax, I am going to spend half my time either playing or trying to figure out which game to play. Oh well, it will be a glorious month where my grades slip and my gamerscore does the opposite lol.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:15 PM
i wish they'd release act 5 as dlc. you know? the one that was only playable from the gears of war 1 pc version but never made for 360?Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:15 PM
@60 That would be cool, but that would require you to have the Horde Command Pack (to play as Bernie) and wouldn't be obtainable by players who only purchase this.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:28 PM
Jesus between this and the deus ex dlc that just came out I need a 2800 points card lol. Think ill wait for a dotw for this one.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:28 PM
I swear Microsoft better give me my 4000 MSP that got lost in a server reboot so I can get the damned season pass.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:48 PM
Man... I hate all you whiny lil bitches. All you do is cry and flame eachother. Grow up. Def getting Season Pass now.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:49 PM
RAAM you legend, hopefully you will be one of the new playable characters!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:49 PM
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Come the fuck on epic! We really need new maps for public vs mode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 01:49 PM
Already got my season pass, so I'm looking forward to getting this!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 02:18 PM
Raam, Raam, I remember him. He smelled bad.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 02:20 PM
YOU GET TO PLAY AS RAAM! Sold.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 02:36 PM
FUCK YES! TAI IN MP! Oh and fuck yes to everything else! Thank you, season pass!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 03:32 PM
@29 Any need to be a prick? "Learn to read before you post" - it doesn't mention Barrick anywhere in this article, i've since learned that this is the Barrick DLC (from other sources). Work on your people skills a bit. @""Verses DLC" that you are talking about will still bring the new content" - trying to make me sound like a madman for calling it "Versus"? (it is actually named as such in the game itself.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 03:33 PM
Cool! I still need to buy the season pass, but since this is announced I want the season pass 10x more now. Love General Raam! One of the best, if not the best bosses in Gears.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 03:34 PM
Wow 1200 MSP? And Horde Command is going to be 800, and that's not even counting the other DLC. I'm glad I picked up that season pass.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 03:39 PM
Chocolate camo? Battlefield shits on that...Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 04:06 PM
i would most definetly suspect that they would include the 4th carmine brother? or perhaps clayton in his winter armour,i would believe that it would look rather dashingThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:09 PM
@86. Barricks name is in the article. That's why he told you to read the damn article... DickheadThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:10 PM
I would love playing RAAM as a multiplayer character, i had him in gears 2 and i always played him... i wonder how it would look loki to play him in campaing... he is fu**in' badass!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:25 PM
I knew I bought the season pass for a reason. I hope I get to smash Doms face as RAMM outside of versus for a change! I really dont like Dom... He was the reason behind so many restarts when I played the first game on insane.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:28 PM
That sounds absolutely awesome. So much better than some "deleted scenes" or squeezing a "meanwhile" mission happening during the main campaign. I really would like it if there were a multiplayer map or two, though. There aren't that many and the three coming in the first pack won't be in versus for a while. Plus I think that Raam and Kim should've been in the game to start with BUT ALAS, I shall stop the bitching. Looking forward to this. Gears 3 is fantastic.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:36 PM
I laugh when I see people try to compare Battlefield and Gears together. LMAO. Two complete different games.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:50 PM
i love epic more and more each dayThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:56 PM
FUCKING YES. so glad i got the season pass on release day :) Can't wait for Bernie and RAAM they are so my characters (RAAM has been since Gears 1 anyway) would be nice to know who the 6th character in this pack is though since they only list RAAM, Kim, Tai, Michael Barrick and Alicia Valera.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 05:59 PM
Meh i Stick With Saint Row the 3rd Whore Mode...Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 06:52 PM
oh lawd another in December already, sweet and sad at the same time, but sounds like it will be a pretty fun dlc to play thoughThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 06:55 PM
Holy Hell, so so glad I bought the season pass, though all the 4 packs would be 800 but seeing this as 1200 I'm very happy :)Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 07:07 PM
Chocolate? Did somebody say, chocolate? CHOCOLATE?????Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 07:18 PM
Thank you Epic!Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 08:16 PM
FINALLY, get play as the best video game Super Villain, Bad-ass General Raam himself(a big yes, with a jizz in my pants). Kim and Raam are my favorite characters to play as in multi-player.Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:07 PM
Awww man. It's like when they announce good movies a year ahead of time. I don't want to know about the DLC until its a week away so I don't have to wait for it lolThursday, October 20, 2011 @ 10:14 PM
mmm, Minh, Tai, Barrick, Alicia, Raam, & who is the other character? because they only mentioned 5 of 6Thursday, October 20, 2011 @ 11:30 PM
Awesome! Can't wait!Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 01:31 AM
I so cant wait for this!Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 02:36 AM
wow... yeah... now THAT's what I call DLC! Thank you, Epic, for never failing any of your Gears of War games in terms of follow up content. Each game has seen improvements in this area and Gears of War 3 is already surpassing its predecessors with the Horde DLC and especially this "RAAM's Shadow" DLC. Awesome stuff!Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 03:03 AM
Word mefinks Gears 3 is going to be the last MP game I trade in eh? Keep the content coming guys I love me some extra shit to make my season pass all the more worth it.Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 03:08 AM
General Ramm was killer bad guy. He should of had a twin brother.Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 05:04 AM
(slight rant) I wish people would stop referring to Free DLC with the season pass. The fact the pass costs 2400 MSP by definition means you are paying for the DLC but at a discounted price. Referring to the DLC as free means you have bought into the hype and illusion that gaming companys want you to believe. I'm still bitter about companies announcing DLC before the official launch of a game. There is no more transparent example of milking of gamers than when companies purposely hold back content just to earn a larger profit. That said Gears 3 is an awesome game and I have enjoyed every minute so far, and reading the article it does look as if the addition of RAAM will be quality.Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 05:42 AM
1200 points a DLC seems like a lot so I'm going to grab the season pass right now, been putting it off till I see what's availableFriday, October 21, 2011 @ 07:54 AM
We need MULTIPLAYER maps not this or horde only maps, the launch list was pitiful.Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 12:56 PM
This game is awesome. this game gonn,a be the game with the most gamerscore ever 2000 Gamerscore or even more this just kick assesFriday, October 21, 2011 @ 01:20 PM
I can't wait to see the only proper endboss of the GOW series back in action. Lt Kim is back as well. I always felt sorry for the guy, don't know why.Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 05:57 PM
@115 - probs cause Kim was PWND by awesomeness, never seen it coming poor chap. anyways, be damn glad to have him back as MP character, i spent every single round of Gears 1+2 as him, was decimated to have to be Adam Fenix to get my MP baldy game on!Friday, October 21, 2011 @ 09:27 PM
I'm so glad they're doing more with Tai. I really liked his character and I felt that the story killed him off way too soon. Also, is it just me, or is Dizzy's character in Gears 3 not as wild and fun as he was in Gears 2?Saturday, October 22, 2011 @ 03:56 AM
cant wait more time on gears for me and my other half.Saturday, October 22, 2011 @ 04:08 AM
too bad it cost 1200 msp if it costed 800 i could inmedely buy it xD a well 10 bucks more can't hurt meSaturday, October 22, 2011 @ 11:01 AM
cant wait, this looks awesome. think raam will be available as a mp character after this.Saturday, October 22, 2011 @ 05:06 PM
glad they're bringing back Kim, he was destroying grubs left right and center, while standing in wide open areas, not behind cover, that alone makes him harder than marcus, if it wasn't because RAAM is the awesomest locust, Kim would have gone on to win the war single handed, woulda shoved Skorge's twin chainsaw thingy so far up his ass that Skorge would be both spitting out and crapping out a chainsaw... or atleast thats how i would have wrote it out... :PSunday, October 23, 2011 @ 08:55 AM
Wow sounds Great I really can't wait, So glad I got that season pass now. And another 250gs to get six multiplayer characters And a Chocolate Weapon Set Christmas really is coming early this year (Ho Ho Ho) Thank you Epic :)Sunday, October 23, 2011 @ 10:38 AM
This sound awsome and alo the season pass only gets u a 33% discount soo if its costs 1200msp with the season pass it will only cost 800mspSunday, October 23, 2011 @ 10:44 AM
if the season pass is gonna give a 33% discount, then the full price of the 4 DLCs will be 3,600 points, so ; Horde Command pack = 800 Points stand alone RAAM's Shadow = 1,200 Points stand alone tha leaves 2,600 points left for the next 2, which says 1,300 each, about the same as RAAM's shadow which is sounding epic as it is, i think us gears fans have some awesome things heading our way in the new year :DSunday, October 23, 2011 @ 07:47 PM
i love cheese burgersSunday, October 23, 2011 @ 11:06 PM
D. CARMINE! D. CARMINE! There's GOT to be a DlC with him in it! *prays one of the last two has D. Carmine in it*Monday, October 24, 2011 @ 10:01 AM
I hate the prices on everything. Don't get me wrong, I think the content is worth the money you pay, it's just a combination of awkwardly priced content and only being able to buy 500 , 1000 or 2000 msp at a time is so frustrating! I had to buy another 500 points because I was 30 short of the season pass. I just wish you could pay the correct amount in cash instead of having MS con that little bit extra out of you every time for points you don't need.Monday, October 24, 2011 @ 04:59 PM
@127 i have 1 spare point, 1 friggin MS point, what the hell am i ever gonna do with that!? lolMonday, October 24, 2011 @ 06:20 PM
"Six new characters" >Tai >Kim >Michael >Alicia >RAAM >??? Who's the sixth???Tuesday, October 25, 2011 @ 03:28 AM
@129 Onyx Locust RAAM BodyGaurd of DOOOOOOOOOOMMM!!!!!! i would imagine it'll be a locust character though, just to even the sides a little moreTuesday, October 25, 2011 @ 06:42 AM
awesum! raam was my fav multiplayer character gears 1!Tuesday, October 25, 2011 @ 05:53 PM
The only reason I would buy a pass, can't get enough of this game.Wednesday, October 26, 2011 @ 08:51 AM
@52 "...you dont buy a car off someone knowing that you'll only be able to brake 2 months later at an added cost..." You mean like brakes? Gas? Tires? Oil? Filter? Maintenance? Look you wouldn't want to work for free and neither do they so the choice is basically they can keep working on new DLC for profit, or there will be no DLC because they have to pay their bills.Thursday, October 27, 2011 @ 02:12 AM
December 13th? WOW that's fast! Guess they want to hype this game up when the other big Blockbusters come out.Thursday, October 27, 2011 @ 03:29 PM
sweet i hope they release the achievements for this soon and i hope there is a 50g or even 100g for beating this DLC on insane!Friday, October 28, 2011 @ 10:13 PM
two dlc in 4 months this means one thing this game is going for 2000 gamerscore rangeTuesday, November 01, 2011 @ 08:59 PM
Kryll shield? O.o how much money will RAMM cost me in Beast?Wednesday, November 16, 2011 @ 01:53 PM
lol @#137 i didnt think of that. truely there could be no cost equal to the awesomeness.Thursday, November 17, 2011 @ 06:18 PM
RAAM's a boss!Friday, November 18, 2011 @ 06:10 AM

That Gears of War 3 Season Pass should look all the more enticing today, as Epic Games and Microsoft have announced the first chunk of proper campaign DLC, which will be launching after the Horde Command pack that's due to land on the Xbox Live Marketplace on November 1st.
Entitled, 'RAAM's Shadow' the campaign add-on will offer more than three hours of additional new gameplay for the Gears 3 campaign, with a prequel storyline set before the events of the first Gears of War that will star a cast of new and familiar faces. Furthermore, the pack will also be packing in another six multiplayer characters, a 'Chocolate Weapon Set' and 250 Gamerscore's worth of new achievements.
“When we announced the ‘Gears 3’ Season Pass, we immediately started getting hundreds of questions from fans about what the game add-ons would be,” said Epic Games Design Director, Cliff Bleszinski. “We’re really excited to be lifting the curtain on the first two releases, first with the ‘Horde Command Pack’ and now with ‘RAAM’s Shadow,’ which gives fans a new perspective on the ‘Gears’ universe and is also the biggest DLC release we’ve ever made.”
You'll be able to reunite with Lt. Minh Young Kim from Gears 1 and Tai Kaliso from Gears 2 in RAAM's Shadow, as well as meeting comic book Gears hero Michael Barrick and new female comrade, Alicia Valera. And as if that wasn't enough, you'll even get to step into the big scary boots of Gears 1 boss General RAAM himself, storming the human stronghold from his perspective.
“RAAM’s imposing size and strength, along with his Kryll shield, make him one of the most powerful and daunting foes in the ‘Gears’ universe,” said Bleszinski. “We think fans are going to have a blast unleashing hell upon the poor humans for the first time in a campaign setting.”
You'll be able to get your hands on Gears of War 3's RAAM's Shadow DLC on December 13th for 1200 Microsoft Points, or get it as part of the Season Pass, which is still available to download for 2400 Microsoft Points.
