Gears of War 3: Fenix Rising Map Pack User Review

Good for a map pack, bad for a dlc, as with all the dlc these days.

Difficulty:
Very Easy
Time Spent:
10 Hours or Less
The Bottom Line:
"Total letdown"
I haven't done a full investigation to into the DLC to begin with, but I'll base this on what I've experienced and read.

I feel the dlc we got aren't worth the money, same here again now, all we get is a bunch of maps, 1 new skin, 2 skins which were previously exclusive, now recolored and available by getting the dlc, oh and the feature to re-up which again only changes the color of your lvl number and gives you a couple of weapon skins.

All in all it's again a huge dissapointment, me and my (xbox) friends have seen so many things they could expand in gears of war 3, like putting being able to use the environment in the maps for example put a gate here and there which need to be closed by 2 people who are turning a big wheel or w/e or for example actually use the base flags, make it so that we have to upgrade those to be able to unlock better fortifcations and max to be able to buy the silverback.

Beast mode same thing, they could make it so that you start out with just a normal ticket and a drone with hammerburst, you would unlock more as you did things, like picked up grenades as a normal ticket and blow up 250 cogs and you'll get a the exploding ticker, melee 200 cogs and be able to use the retro lancer instead of a hammerburst.

We need actual gameplay additions, not expensive map/skin packs, that's not what I call DLC.

You might say, "What about horde mode additions then?"
Well go ahead and think about, all they really did was added the command post, which was pretty original.
Added a few levels for the silverback so players actually could have a goal.
Gave the stun turret a new color and made that the flame sentry.
Oh and ofcourse more skins.

They are good for dlc these days, but they could be so much better, they should be miniature expansions.

Also they f*ed the whole community, because I've heard people say they can't use dedicated servers if they don't have the DLC, so they are forcing people to buy their dlc or be separated from their friends who got the season pass.

I wish I never got the season pass.
