Gears of War 3 'Horde Command' DLC

New playable Characters - Dizzy, Onyx Guard, Bernie (left to right)
The first Gears of War 3 DLC has just been announced, titled, 'Horse Comman Pack; and will launch on the XBOX Marketplace on Nov 01 2011 for 800 Microsoft Points.

The DLC includes new maps (playable in Horde, Beast and private versus), characters, weapon skins, horde fortifications and an additional 250 Gamerscore to earn.

The Maps include:

  • Blood Drive - The Jacinto Medical Plaza was overwhelmed by evacuated citizens after the Hammer Strikes, the area is no longer a safe haven.  An abundance of high ground and funneled choke points will make this a great addition to Horde.
  • Rustlung - Once the pride of the Roayl Tyran Navy, the foredecks of this decommissioned battleship are now riddled with bullet holes.  The central torpedo bay has a battle-ready Silverback mech suit, if you can hold the exposed area.
  • 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 heavy combat zone.  Dual snipers overlook the area and a defensive platform may be a last place of retreat.
Fortification Upgrades:
  • Command Center - A brand new type of fortification that allows you to call in fire support from sniper teams, mortar strikes and Hammers of Dawn.
  • Decoy Upgrade - A new fortification level, turns your decoy into an Onyx Guard bot that will fight in your defense.
  • Sentry Upgrade - A new fortificaiton level, adds a fire bolt sentry that deals much more damage and is effective against Berserkers.
  • Silverback Upgrade - A new fortificaiton level, add rockets and extra level repair cost reduction.
New Characters:
  • Onyx Guard
  • Big Rig Dizzy
  • Bernie
New Weapon Skins:
  • Team Plasma
  • Jungle Camo
