Gears of War 3 getting free DLC on Thanksgiving
Today is truly a wonderous day for Gears of War fans. First, the delay for the Horde Command Pack turned out to be far shorter than originally feared. To add the opposite of insult to the opposite of injury, Epic Games has revealed plans for the game's first free DLC, due out on Thanksgiving Day, no less.
The "Versus Booster Map Pack" will be a free release on November 24 and bring five new maps to the Gears of War 3 online public. The pack will include the three maps that debut today in the Horde Command Pack (Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive), as well as a pair of levels that previously appeared in the original Gears of War (Swamp and Clocktower). The additional characters, weapon skins, and Horde upgrades granted in today's Horde Command Pack will remain exclusive to purchasers of the DLC.
Anyone planning on firing up Gears of War 3 on Turkey Day to celebrate the "Versus Booster Map Pack?"

I hope this means since I got mine with the all seasons pass on Nov. 1st that is was free for me and did not use up any of the MS points from that pass! Cause this is BS that it becomes free for every one but me and the ones that paid for it! If I would of known about this I would of not gotten the all seasons pass!
