Gears of War Megathread V1: I'm coughing up blood that ain't even mine!

[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32629066]I just saw 2 level 100s in 2 seperate games ranked games back to back. One of them has played gears for way too long and I suggest he plays something else for a change. The other.... well he just sucked.[/QUOTE]

The other one was probably a booster.

Can someone explain the Season Pass to me?

Are we getting each DLC pack at a 33% discount from $10 each, or are we getting all of them for $30 - 33% less than if we bought each individually?

We're getting them all for $30 in total which is 33% less if you bought them all individually.
Basically you're buying all 4 for $30
If you bought them individually it'd be around $45

[QUOTE=Grim Joker;32626894]I have a Jack in the Box near my house. I'll grab some whenever I can to get as many codes as possible. If I have a bunch of extras I might give some out here, but no promises.[/QUOTE]
I would love a code Grim Joker if you get some extras. There are no Jack in the Boxes in Michigan sadly.

Also just so everyone knows about the new DLC that's been announced, the three new maps won't be playable in matchmaking for some time. They claim it's because of the dedicated servers, and that they'll eventually add them into the playlists. This means you can only play the new maps in horde, beast, and private MP.

"@GearsViking: To answer a bunch of questions, Horde Command Pack maps are only available for player hosted gametypes like Horde, Beast and Private MP"
"@GearsViking: The issue at hand here are the dedicated servers. Eventually you will be able to play DLC 1 maps publicly in VS but when is TBD (and TBA)"

No Jack In The Boxes in Florida either so I'm shit out of luck. I wanted that green skin the second I saw it.

[H11]

Florida bros c:

Its funny because when I was at San Diego for Comic Con i pretty much only ate Jack in the Box since it was right next to my hotel. Though i did get a kicking rad exclusive Gears Poster at the convention.

Except

You can sell the cup, and just mention it has an unpulled code on it. Apparently the cup itself is a collecter's item (The cups alone are going for twenty bucks on ebay, with no mention of the actual code itself) which is a good workaround.

Speaking of which I got a code and tried to use it and didn't win anything, and then they made fun of me.

[H11]

Here's the poster I got from SDCC, I thought it was pretty neat. :dance:

Ughh. I hate people on the epic forums. Apparently, EPIC is a terrible company who mistreats their fans and never listens to their community.. just because they added the sawed off shotgun. I know it's annoying to play against, but ya gotta be fucking me! Going that far just because of the DBS?

[I ARE REPTAR]

I just went and purchased the season pass. So excited for the DLC.

[Viorotica]

So guys, is the Season Pass worth it?

[Darth-Veger]

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32634711]So guys, is the Season Pass worth it?[/QUOTE]

If you love gears and think you will love it for a few months and you also got the cash

Then why the fuck not, you get 33% discount + direct access to the DLC

[Viorotica]

Direct Access to the DLC? I don't understand.

[I ARE REPTAR]

[QUOTE=Viorotica;32635142]Direct Access to the DLC? I don't understand.[/QUOTE]

If you have the season pass the second the DLC comes out you get it

[Viorotica]

Oh ok, so what's this 33% discount thing if you get DLC the second it comes out?

I think they will make a DLC pack for every game mode
Campaign
Horde
Beast
Versus

[Legolas]

if all goes as planned I'll have the season pass in two weeks :dance:

[PyroCraz3d]

They word the Season pass in a weird way.. basically, you spend thirty bucks worth of MS points on it, you get the next 4 DLC for FREE when they come out. Just download them. But in the long run, you save 33% more money than if you bought the DLC packs individually instead of the season pass.

I dunno, I understood that after I read about it the first time :v:

[Darth-Veger]

Actually they wanted to name the Season pass, Access Pass but that was striked away from the PR team and then they wanted to do Elite COG membership but that was to confusing
So now its called Season pass :v:

Season pass reminds me more of something like.. you can go to the theatre a few months for free heh

[Viorotica]

Or when people are talking about getting a Season Pass for games at a Stadium like Basketball and what not.

Exactly

[I ARE REPTAR]

I think it's season pass because we get the first 4 DLC packs, like watching the first 4 games of a football season or something

[UniiQue]

I've got three Savage Grenadier Elite codes if anyone wants to trade/buy them from me.
Just PM me a message, yo!

I promise I'm not a scammer too, just ask that I ARE REPTAR kid above. He's my best friend IRL, so if you don't get a working code he can punch me in the dick, uh, twenty times. :)

I really don't see how the DBS is a problem. I've never had trouble with it, the only time I get killed by it is when I'm using the gnasher. People who complain about that cock-blocker-shotgun just don't know how to use their bloody rifles.

[acfan]

My friend lives right next to a Jack in the box and he said he'd get me one awww yeee!! :D
Codessss *w*

Level 43 atm, want to hit 50 this weekend so I can use Hoffman.
