New campaign AND multiplayer content are coming out in July for Gears of War 2. Complete details on the official press release.
What are the chances they'll increase the experience earned per in-game point in MP at this time? I don't see many people ever making it to rank 100 (legitimately).
Cool, only if the multiplayer actually fucken worked!!!!
Maps? At a decent price?
I might actually consider this, if only to support the idea.
Another Epic rip off.
Does the 1,600 MS Points separate purchase of the DLC also include the campaign?
^^,
Just a waste of money, I'll pass. Fix your laggy, buggy game Epic. Epic needs to be bought out and management needs to be restructured. All they care about is money and making an unreliable engine.
Awesome! Epic knows how to keep players coming back for more. I'll be downloading it day 1.For this and future DL content, I would love to see Epic up the max-multiplayer player count and add vehicles, but that's probably out of the question...till Gears 3 probably.
Epic really is full of arrogant douchebags. I love this game (hate the glitches and bugs), but this is a little too much. I already have all the other map packs and now they want me to pay $20 for 7 new maps and a bunch of a content I could give a crap about? Wow, just wow.
If you don't like it, don't buy it. They don't want you to pay $20 for 7 new maps and a bunch of content you could give a crap about. They want you to pay for content you DO want.
I tried playing some multiplayer for the first time in a couple months last night. It's still frustrating.I'll wait to see what this new campaign stuff is about, but multiplayer is dead to me.
YES - i dont have any of the Premium DLC (Combustable or Snowblind), so this is a good deal for me.
Works out at around £12 when using MS points :)
So will this be a redemption code when bought at retail? like the GTA L&D DLC?
so is Epic scre*ing over everyone that already bought the 2 map packs? - it doesnt look like they will be offering the 7 maps & campain for a reduced fee...
why would i pay £15 for the dlc
when i can get gow2 for £14

Whoooooooooooooooooooooosh!
yeah I love how currency exchange rates work at MS : 1$=1€... when in reality it's been 1.25/1.30$=1€ for several years now.
Cause you know... us Europeans have so much money that we can just give it away like candies on Halloween. Seriously, this has gone for way too long and while I understand that VAT maybe higher in some countries (France) than in others (Spain? Italy), a 30 or so % bump in pricing is complete BS.
Europeans are not cash cows!!! And don't blame game pricing on retail cause in this MS IS the retailer. Nice marging outthere...
I'll pass!
PS : now I'll wait for the usual localisation cost BS. Bad dubbing and silly subtitles is everuthing I love to spend my extra cash on.
Those who already wanted the released map packs, already bought themm ..so this is a rip-off.
I didnt buy map packs myself as i dont play standard multiplayer. I wont fork out 1600 points for "Road to Ruin" only.
This is probably the most expensive map pack ever.
They released the huge Titan Pack and everything else for free for Unreal Tournament 3, but on Gears of war 2 they want money for anything.
do I get a refund on the maps I already bought? Add this outrage to the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack and I'm quickly becoming and alienated. I can't remember the last time I was as offended as I am by this...
"In order to make the pack worthwhile to those who've already downloaded the majority of the Gears 2 DLC, the package also contains an introduction from Cliff Bleszinski for "Road to Ruin", a collectible poster, a strategy guide, and a custom Xbox Live theme."
well woopity-doo
just read the official report...
so it works out £14.99 for all the DLC at retail, or approx £13.30 (£12 cheapest) for just the new content.
a good deal for us who have not bought any of the DLC, but a bit of a cheat to those loyal Gears fans.
Man, now I feel even worse about my purchase of the Combustible map pack lol. I still to this date have only played those maps 3-4 times online since they were so awful (Flood, really Epic?)
i was thinking of purchasing both pieces of DLC a couple of days ago - so glad i didn't :D
Great deal for people like me who never downloaded the maps. Can't wait to pick this up and starting murdering fools. Bravo!
This should be 1,200 for those of us who already bought all the other DLC. Epic = FAIL.
Awesome, haven't bought any of the new maps and really want the single player DLC, instant buy!
New campaign? I should've guessed. Looks like yet another Epic ripoff just like with Gears 1 where you had to get the game again for an extra act that wasn't even worth it to begin with. I won't be buying any of this garbage. I've had it with this extra campaign garbage like with Tomb Raider, Prince of Persia, & now Gears 2. I sure as hell won't be buying Gears 3 after this because I will have to pay $20 more to get the ending to that game probably.
