Free Gears Of War 3 DLC Coming Thanksgiving Day
Epic announced today that it will be giving away the Versus Booster Map Pack for free on November 24. These five maps should pump up your competitive Gears 3 time with more juice than a trainer in the Oakland Athletics clubhouse circa 1995.
Three of the five maps – Azura, Blood Drive, and Rustlung – are included in the Horde Command Pack, which launched today. Two more, Bullet Marsh and Clocktower, round out the free Versus Booster Map Pack.
It's nice to see Epic giving away new stuff at all, and keeping the multiplayer community from fragmenting by making sure that everyone has access to the same maps (three weeks later, but still) is good for the game's long-term health.
Are you still rocking Gears 3, or has your shooter playtime moved on to greener (well, browner) patches?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
