Tonight’s topics will include the Gears of War: Judgment Lost Relics DLC, your comments and more!

The Gears of War: Judgment DLC “Lost Relics” is coming in June! The pack will include four new maps, a new single objective gametype, new armor and new weapon skins.

BREAKTHROUGH – Breakthrough is a single-objective gametype that features two teams with very distinct roles: one team has possession of a flag that they must deliver to a set location; the opposing team has a purely defensive role and unlimited resources.

The attacking team must break through the enemy team’s defensive line and deliver the flag before their pool of lives run out.

6Arcade Berg, Gameplay Designer from People Can Fly joined Microsoft a few weeks ago in Paris for a Gears of War: Judgment event.

The event was the finals of a Gears of War tournament called “Gears of War: Judgment Cup.” It’s the first on-site gaming event Microsoft France has hosted for fans and even though it was restricted to France, there were over 100 teams participating!

There were also over 200 people watching the event in the audience.

Microsoft was partnered with France’s biggest online broadcasting network and online gaming portal and the entire event was streamed live via both channels.

5Along with the tournament, there was also a “Gears Quiz” competition where the audience competed in Gears trivia.

They won prizes like signed and framed posters and signed Judgment steel cases, etc. Their knowledge was amazing!

Team Exes walked away with first place and won lots of great prizes!

dreadnought_action_shotOn May 14th, you’ll be able to download the second MAXIM Map, Dreadnought, available for OverRun players free of charge for a limited time.

In the months immediately following Emergence Day, the COG managed to capture some Locust Berserkers.  Thinking that a ship at sea would be safe from an underground enemy, the COG decided to transport their prize to a secure research facility via the CNV Pomeroy. Little did they know that the Locust had waterborne beasts from the underground rivers of the Hollow, or that the Locust soldiers would use them so relentlessly to rescue the captured Berserkers.  The Pomeroy was corralled into a narrow channel and forced ashore, where the Locust sent a mass of troops to assault and overwhelm the beached vessel.

Coming soon: You can also catch a fly-through video via the MAXIM app on Xbox LIVE!
