The "Forces of Nature" DLC pack includes Cove, Aftermath and Artillery. Two old maps will be making a return, Jacinto and Raven Down. As the title implies, natural disasters will be a theme for this pack. "Fog, snowstorms and tsunamis will make playing these maps quite an adventure," Epic says.

  • You can't go wrong with more Gears DLC. I've loved every content drop so far,so I doubt this one will be any different. The only thing disappointing is that the season pass is about to expire. Oh well, time flies when you're stompin' grubs.

  • Time to jump back on gears 3 !

  • RAVEN DOWN!~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS

  • Can't wait!!!

  • JACINTO!!!

  • Why do they keep saying it's free for season pass holders? No it isn't. They've paid already. There's a difference.
  • I was hoping for more SP content, but whatever.

  • Sounds cool to me.

  • I wonder who the character models will be? Alex Brand and Carlos Santiago plz. They should give us the cluck-shot for free.
  • ah fond Jacinto memories :)

  • Man i just traded this in :(

  • WOW! This is gunna be the best map pack yet!!!

    SEASON PASS FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Where is the Ruins remake!? Almost every old map made it into gears 3 except the best one!

  • Yeah Jacinto!
  • this looks frickin awesome! gonna have to put down skyrim once again!
  • This comes out March 27th.  But Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City comes out March 20th.  Guess I wont be playing it.  :(

  • March 27th? Multiplayer DLC? I'll be playing Mass Effect 3. I already got bored of the multiplayer of Gears 3.
  • That picture is soooo cool

  • I was really hoping for more campaign DLC, but I'll take more maps. Raven Down is going to be awful. It was fun in Gears 1 when it was 4v4 and the weapons weren't overpowered, but now, 5v5 with nuclear-equipped AR's... I don't have high hopes.  It's doubtful that they'd release campaign DLC after the Season Pass ends, but I'd love to see a Classic Map Pack voted by the fans.

  • Honestly, I got sick of the competitive multiplayer really fast, but Horde Mode was really fun. But playing Mass Effect 3's multiplayer, I know I'm never going back to Gears 3. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
