While some fans are upset that the premium Horde Command Pack DLC has been delayed for Gears of War 3, they may be mollified to learn that Epic will be releasing free downloadable content for the game on 24th November.
Azura.The Versus Booster Map Pack will include five maps for public matchmaking playlists. Two of the maps are classic maps from the first Gears of War, Swamp and Clocktower. The other three will be from the aforementioned Horde Command Pack: Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive.
For gamers who might be upset that the maps they just paid 800 Microsoft Points for will be given away free, they’ll be relieved to know that the free DLC pack won’t give them access to the pack’s Horde fortification upgrades, additional playable characters and new weapon skins.
One more DLC pack will be released on the 13th December, the RAAM’s Shadow add-on, and even more content is promised in 2012.
