Gears of War 3: Forces of Nature DLC

As most of you already know, especially if you’re a HUGE fan of gears like I am, the “Forces of Nature” DLC dropped VERY early this morning and was available for those who have a season pass to download. People without the season pass were able to download shortly after.

The DLC which was 800 Microsoft Points (Ten dollars, and free to those with a valid season pass) includes new maps: Artillery, Aftermath, and Cove and two re-makes of previous Gears of War maps: Raven Down, and Jacinto. A new easter egg was included in the DLC within Horde and Beast Mode by introducing ‘elemental cleavers’ into the game types. Finding, obtaining, and using said cleavers on enemies during battle will also score you some new achievements.

Keeping up with all other DLC’s released for the game new character skins and several unique weapon skins are also included. Characters include pre-order favorites such as Commando Dom, Mechanic Baird and the Savage Grenadier. Also a new character: Savage Hunter.

Since the release of Gears of War 3 Epic has been consistently on my good side in regards to DLC content, and this is no exception. For those of you who don’t purchase DLC’s until getting reviews from others who have, hurry up and get to it! My favorite part of this particular DLC? The resurfacing of the popular game type “Guardian”. In order to achieve victory your team must eliminate the opposing team in warzone/execution style. However, you can only do that once you’ve eliminated the enemy team leader: Hoffman, or Queen Myrrah.

With all this included it’s hard not to be excited! What’s your favorite part of the new DLC? Leave a comment below!
