Binnen een week wist Gears of War 3 wereldwijd drie miljoen keer over de toonbank te gaan, een mooi moment voor Microsoft om dit goede nieuws op te volgen met de aankondiging van de eerste downloadable content.
Vanaf 1 november is namelijk het Horde Command Pack beschikbaar, welke bestaat uit drie nieuwe maps, drie nieuwe karakters, twee nieuwe wapen skins, nieuwe fortification upgrades en uiteraard extra achievements.
Horde Command is verkrijgbaar voor 800 MS Points of kan automatisch gedownload worden voor mensen die het Gears of War 3 Season Pass hebben aangeschaft, welke 33 procent extra korting geven op de eerste vier add-ons. Onderstaand is te lezen wat we precies mogen verwachten.
Drie spectaculaire nieuwe maps:
o Blood Drive – The Jacinto Medical Plaza was overwhelmed by evacuated citizens after the government-sanctioned Hammer Strikes, and the ensuing riots quickly turned this safe haven into a dangerous inferno. An abundance of high ground and funneled choke points make this map a returning favorite to Horde.
o Rustlung – Once the pride of the Royal Tyran Navy, the foredecks of this decommissioned battleship are now riddled with bullet holes. Any team with the fortitude to hold the exposed central torpedo bay will find that the ship's Loader has been replaced with a battle-ready Silverback mech suit.
o Azura – This island resort was once the exclusive domain of Sera's educated elite, but the tranquil water gardens and lush foliage have become a hotly contested combat zone. Dual snipers overlook a powerful explosive weapon, while the defensive central platform may be your last resort of retreat.
Nieuwe fortification upgrades:
o Command Center – A brand new type of fortification that allows you to call in fire support from sniper teams, mortar strikes and even multiple Hammers of Dawn.
o Decoy Upgrade – A new fortification level that turns your decoy into an Onyx Guard bot that will fight in your defense.
o Sentry Upgrade – This upgrade adds a fire bolt sentry that deals much more damage and is very effective against Berserkers.
o Silverback Upgrade – This advancement allows you to upgrade your Silverback exo-suit with devastating rockets and extra levels of repair cost reduction.
