EPIC has released the third DLC pack for Gears of War 3. The Fenix Rising Map Pack includes four character skins, a new experience system and five maps in total: four are new and one old favorite…Escalation! Below is the full list of maps and character skins included in the pack.
New maps: Academy, Anvil, Depths, Escalation, and the Slab.
New character skins: Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole – Limited Edition, Savage Marauder and Savage Kantus – Limited Edition.
Also included in the Pack is a new experience system that allows players to rank up through level 100 four times to unlock exclusive emblems and weapon skins. Dedicated Gears players who reach (or have reached) level 100 will now get the chance to “Re-up” three times. This option will reset your experience and rank, but all other progression (such as TrueSkill rating) will remain intact. Players will then earning new wings colours each time they Re-up — Red, Green, and Gold.
If you purchased the Gears of War 3 Season Pass late last year you’ll be able to snag this pack for free (well, not really for free since you already paid for it), for everyone else the Fenix Rising pack will cost you 800 Microsofts Points, or $10.00.

Sh*tty MP. Not worth the M$ Points. Moving on.
Oh the stupidity of a fanboy.
So Uncharted 3 gets 4 maps copypasted from UC2, and it’s the second coming, but Gears 3 gets 4 new maps, one copypasted, plus new skins and a new experience system, and it’s a rip-off?
I didn’t have enough cash to buy this DLC, but luckily I found a site giving away some free Fenix
Rising codes, so I’m playing it, and enjoying it very much, definitely my favorite DLC so far.
The site I found had a few more codes left to giveaway, so if you guys want to try your luck at
it, here’s the link to the site:

Never said anything about the DLC being a ripoff. In fact, I believe EPIC is doing a much better job handling DLC than ND is. I said the Gears 3 MP is sh*tty, and that there’s no reason to spend M$ expanding the experience. I stand by that.
ROFL Hey don’t feel badly. This game could run on the overpriced internet ready blu ray player too. It may only run at 2 fps but that’s still running right? LMFAO.
Sony Defense Force members unite!! LMFAO
Gears of War easly trumps anything on the overpriced internet ready blu ray player. FACT. Sony should go back to focusing on TVs and walkman devices ROFL.
“Xbox 360 is the BEST console EVER made.” –John Carmack
I’m beginning to think your childish taunts are specifically constructed to start flame wars nd increase traffic………
And Buying1999, You know, you REALLY need to find another quote. John Carmacks credibility went even further down the toilet after the buggy disaster that was RAGE. Even PC version was a mess. So much for its genre defining revolution. thats what happens when your ego out weighs your ability.
@buying1999
you do realize that the ps3 is 50% more powerful than the 360 overall right? and John Carmack you so called 360 GOD, is making exclusive DLC for the PS3 because of our Blu Ray drive over priced internet machine. guess what game it is? DOOM 4. nuff said.
WoW. ^^^^
great comments above. DialGAYmarine first one in here, as usual slagging anything xbox related (even though he doesnt have a gt and certainly hasnt played gears 3 online), someone telling gaymarine to shut up, and Bloodios posting something completely unrelated to the topic.
Anyways, i have already re-upped and sitting at lvl 10 (its in green).
i can only play after i get home from work so i have yet to try out the new escalation. (i think i just played on anvil, the dlc playlists seemed crappy and not many people).
cant wait to try some horde and beast on these maps. looking forward to reupping again, and again.
GT is DialgaMarine, and Gears 3 is the only game I play atm.
making a gt at a friends house who has gears 3 for the sole purpose of thinking you now have the right to say it is shit doesn’t count.
Thats like aGAYMER going to someones house who has a playstation, playing uncharted for 2 mins so he can say “look guys, i have played it now. and it sucks donkeyb@lls”.
try harder.
i checked on xbox.com btw. it finally loaded the piece of shit.
Edit wouldn’t work on this site for some reason (javascript?).
make sure you change your xbox password dialga. Xbox has been hacked but microsoft wont say it yet.
(i have a friend who works for them and he said the service issue which was the longest running one ever is more than what it seems.)
New maps for the best action game of the year, great stuff.
Best action game of the year? You base this observation on……………
Funny how M$ is trying to charge money for this when not all the maps are new and are just rehashes of older maps from previous games.
Plus gears of war is the most boring bland shooter I have played in a long time. The MP is broken and is nothing more thana shotgun fest. No thanks I’ll just go back to playing Uncharted 3 MP.
well uc3 has a good mp but its never better than the gears3 one
Did you even read the article or think about what you just said? First off, its Epic that is the driving force behind this DLC, not Microsoft. Secondly, you may not like the Gears MP but it is far from a broken shotgun fest if you have any skill or experience with the game. Finally, you make a deal out of the fact that there is ONE re-released map in this DLC pack and say you are going back to UC3 which just released a map pack entirely focused on re-released maps. Not mentioning that the Gears pack has Four new maps, several new character skins and a revamped experience system, none of which are in the UC3 add on.
I could go into my blah experience with the UC3 MP but I won’t because that’s besides the point. I’ll go back to enjoying Gears 3 and the new content.
