Major Nelson has just confirmed that gamers have another reason to be thankful this coming November. Epic is releasing the first DLC pack for their locust shoot em up Gears of War 3, on November 1st.

The Horde Command Pack will feature three new maps, three new characters including Big Rig Dizzy, Onyx Guard, and Bernie, two new weapons skins, and new fortification upgrades for both popular game modes, Horde and Beast.

The DLC will cost you 800 MS points unless you purchased the Gears Season Pass which will allow you to download it for "free".

Wait, shouldn't the season pass mean you already get it for free? I'm pretty sure the pass was you paying for all of the DLC at once at a 33% discount. DLC this soon is pretty lame either way.

So soon?

Was it confusing how it wrote it up?

*Edit...I reworded it.

I never did much gears multiplayer so it's a pass. I would like to finish the campaign though.

For all who care, the maps, which include fan favourite Blood Drive, will be available in horde ONLY, not multiplayer. Really upset about that one.
