Gears Weekend: Happy Thanksgibbing and Versus Booster Map Pack!

Gears of War 3 Thankgibbing Cluckshot EventThis #Gearsweekend we’ll be celebrating the Thanksgiving holiday with a King of the Hill “Thanksgibbing” event. The King of the Hill playlist will go live this Thursday November 24th at 12:00 PM ET. Shotguns will be replaced with a modified Boomshot known as the “Cluckshot.” Boomshot pick-ups will also be replaced. How is the Boomshot modified to become a Cluckshot? Check the screenshots to find out! The “Thanksgibbing”  playlist may well be the noisiest we’ve ever had.

The Gears of War 3 Versus Booster Map Pack will be available for download this Thursday as well!  After 12:00 PM EST on Thursday November 24th, players will need to have the pack installed in order to play on all public playlists. You will be prompted to download the maps when joining a playlist, or you can download them from the Xbox Live Marketplace.

The “Versus Booster Map Pack” will feature five explosive maps available in public matchmaking playlists – two favorite maps from “Gears 1,” Bullet Marsh and Clocktower, as well as Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive from the “Horde Command Pack.”

Versus Booster Map Pack Bullet MarshWhile the “Versus Booster Map Pack” will unlock five new multiplayer battlegrounds for public matchmaking, those who purchase the “Horde Command Pack” (or access it through the “Gears of War 3” Season Pass) will still have exclusive access to the pack’s Horde fortification upgrades, new playable characters like Bernie Mataki, Big Rig Dizzy and the Onyx Guard, as well as the Team Plasma and Jungle Camo weapon skins.  Remember, the only way to play Horde, Beast, or a privately hosted game on Azura, Rustlung, and Blood Drive will be to purchase the Horde Command Pack.

Be sure to  leave your feedback about our “Thanksgibbing” event (and the new maps) in the comments below or on twitter using the #GearsWeekend hashtags. We rely on your feedback to make these the best Gears experiences ever!  More #GearsWeekend events will be coming up so be sure to keep watching!

  • MIZTICK

    This is stupid that means that we the fans/GearHeads that have the Hordes Command Pack have to share the same maps that we purchased with other players for free? And having to buy this new map pack when really we are paying full price for two new maps (bulletmarsh, clocktower)… And still have to buy General Raam extra content in December 15th wich will probably have the same maps bulletmarsh included…. The old maps should be free not the new ones….

    If you’re moaning you don’t understand if you buy the Horde Command you get the Characters, Skins, Maps (Private and public) and fortifications. If you didn’t buy you can play the maps ONLINE only for free but don’t get any extra’s like Characters ect. Its just to stop people who did buy never being able to play the new maps in public games.

    Just to clear a few things. I believe everybody gets clocktower and bulletmarsh for free, private and public. The maps blood drive, azura, and rustlung will also be added to public playlists but if you didn’t purchase the horde command pack you will not have them for private matches. People who think they purchased the HCP for the maps are wrong. We purchased it for horde upgrades, characters, and skins. It is called the HORDE COMMAND PACK for a reason. In a way we just got a ” first look” of the three maps.

    So let’s get tho straight: you’re giving the maps away free to those who didn’t buy the horde command pack? Or you are now saying that the horde command pack was only the additional fortifications, players and weapon skins? For 800 MS points? You are ripping us off, plain and simple.

  • Cesar-diaz15

    everybody is getting the 5 maps free to play in public matches such as versus, horde, and beast but if you want to play the 3 maps from the horde command pack   private u need to have purchased the horde command pack.

  • Fochoa93

    Let me clear this up since nobody knows how to read. This new map pack being released includes 5 maps for free, which anyone can play on the public playlists. However, if someone wants to play Horde mode on the first 3 maps or use the new fortifications, they MUST buy the Horde Command Pack.

  • Fochoa93

    1. The map pack is free, as previously stated.
    2. The “Gearheads” you claim to be a part of still have your Horde Command Pack, which is, as stated by its title, a HORDE based dlc pack. People who didn’t buy it still won’t be able to play with you on Horde, so stop crying.

  • Anonymous

    Everyone complaining…. your all idiots. You paid for “HORDE” all the upgrades and maps. Not for any versus maps, so no one is getting anything for free that you think you “paid” for, no one can play horde on those 3 maps or use skins ect if they didn’t buy it. You also paid for achievements, that no one will get unless they pay.

    This way they don’t have to split up their play lists into map pack only, or it will only load a map if everyone in the room has it, which was never in gears 2. You paid for it and would never see it.

    I hope every company does this, add the extra content and achievements for people who pay, put the maps out for free only on versus. I hated never playing new maps in gears 2 that I paid for because one guy didn’t have them, either that or I had to go play only the new maps only. I hope all maps are free, I could care less about achievemens and skins. Ill definitly get he ramm dlc though.

  • Iwishihadacrimsondoor

    I really like how apparently the majority of people ask if it can be played private when it says it in the description…..While the “Versus Booster Map Pack” will unlock five new multiplayer battlegrounds for public matchmaking, those who purchase the “Horde Command Pack” (or access it through the “Gears of War 3” Season Pass) will still have exclusive access to the pack’s Horde fortification upgrades, new playable characters like Bernie Mataki, Big Rig Dizzy and the Onyx Guard, as well as the Team Plasma and Jungle Camo weapon skins.  Remember, the only way to play Horde, Beast, or a privately hosted game on Azura, Rustlung, and Blood Drive will be to purchase the Horde Command Pack.

  • Iwishihadacrimsondoor

    In the last sentence

  • Nikku

    Switch, the reason its like this is for loading time, they could fux this no problem, like you said, but then while joining a game it would lag for other players and you at first, its nothing to big to worry about, its like this for a reason

  • Mathew

    People complained about lag through previous games, so why does it matter? At least you play, right?

  • Mathew

    For PUBLIC match-making, not PRIVATE.

  • K Geezy

    gee thanks for giving away the maps free. this is retarded. I paid for the horde command simply to get new multiplayer maps. i dont give a shit about horde or characters. Gay, Epic his is why im selling the game for cod. No more bamboozling me with your BS

    Ok heres a question for the ppl who preorder the seasons pass and the ppl who didn’t they get the two dlc for free and we paid for them (season pass) buyers so does the season passbuyers get anything extra b.c we paid for 4 dlc and the public players get the frist two for free please reply back and other season pass ppl please comment about this issue

  • bigguy061369

    looking forward to THANKSGIBBING, cant wait to see who gets dressed up like Santa next month LOL

  • Wiffy

    lols at all the ‘greedy epic’ comments.

    How dare they try to make money from their hard work over the last three years. 

    The biggest epic fail is that the complexity of what you get and what you don’t get.

    It is so confusing for a lot of people. Sure this can be overcome by basic reading skills, but it is a lot more convoluted than what the buying public are used to.

  • Wiffy

    I got the Season Pass.

    I did feel a bit ripped off at the way the horde command pack was released. I expected those maps to be available in public MP straight away. That is how map DLC was worked in games before. I feel that expectation was reasonable.

    But that feeling of being ripped off will soon pass as RAAMs Shadow looms closer.

    Interesting to see what happens with the rest of the DLC.

    who gives a sh*t about horde, when the season pass was first avertised. it said nothing about the 1st download being mostly for horde. 800 points for not alot. they should have done what they did for gears 2 and made the map pack only for those who paid. just another reason to be disappointed. gears 2 and 3 are pale in comparison to 1. cheers epic for messing up another game that could have been great. 1/2 million peolpe on cod, 2thousand on gears if your lucky. wake up and smell the roses epic.

  • Gatsu Godhand

    Got a question. I know all 5 maps will be available in Public matches…..but what about private matches? I have the Season Pass, so I know that 3 of those maps I will be able to play offline. But its really not mentioned if Clocktower & Bullet Marsh will be available for offline “private” matches.

    Really like the the events you have been doing and I appreciate all the extras you guys add but what’s with limiting it to a specific game type? I dont get to use the fun new weapon unless I play a mode I don’t like? Lame.

  • CluckTheWhiners

    Yeah its hard work you stupid moron! They still had to create this content, its not like they wished it into existence. Who cares if its on the disc or not. I thought it was nice of them to do that so we don’t have to download the whole thing. You’re seriously telling me that you have a problem with game companies creating additional content before a game is actually released?!? You are in all seriousness a jealous idiot! If you didn’t think you were getting enough for what you were paying for then why did you buy it? Seriously, if you’re one of those 99% OWS idiots pissing on the street corners and raping women as they walk by, how do you have money to have Internet access to post your vile comments? Oh right, you’re stealing it from someone else. Its amazing why anyone ever creates anything to be purchased anymore when whiners like Aduckinatub here complains and protests and makes life miserable for people trying to make money.

  • CluckTheWhiners

    Because these are the dooshbags that can’t read or do math. And apparently they didn’t get the memo that life isn’t free.

  • CluckTheWhiners

    Actually, your mom was an EPIC FAIL for having you. Maybe we all should start a class action suit against you for having to read your retarded comment. Ripping us off … we’re not getting what we paid for? OH wait, we are … its just that you want more now.

  • Wayne

    so how much damage would this Cluckshot do? ;>

  • Aurelius

    The Horde Command Pack is the first DLC that is connected to the Season Pass, with this DLC you get the maps Azura, Blood Drive, and Rust Lung – the characters Big Rig Dizzy, Bernie, and Onyx Guard – the weapon skins Jungle and team plasma. On November 24th (IF YOU HAVE THE SEASON PASS and download the Versus Booster Pack) you will get all the maps mentioned in the article and will be able to use them on Public MP, Horde, Beast, and Private MP. If you do not have the season pass or bought the HCP you will get all the maps through downloading the versus booster pack but Azura, Blood Drive, and Rust Lung will only be avaliable for Public MP while Clocktower and Bullet Marsh can be used on all four modes.        To be clear the Versus Booster Pack does not count toward the Season Pass.  

  • ForTheHorde

    Who cares about Versus?  Deathmatch?  That thing I was playing 15 years ago?  Oh right, yeah let me do that again.  Horde is where it’s at!

  • Aurelius

    No it was never a fan favorite, however they decided to bring it back in honor of RAAM’s Shadow. At least that is what Rod Fergusson said.

  • Justin

    Ok, technical clarification needed.  I have the Horde pack.  Say I play public with 5 random people and a few of them don’t have the command pack.  We end up on Rustlung or something which we can now do because we all have the maps.  However, will only I (or other HCP buyers) have the ability to build a command center or uber-decoy (the Onyx guard)?  Can they repair the CC or decoy if they get damaged?  I’m just confused how all of the logistics will work out.  I guess we’ll see.  

  • Aurelius

    Yeah thats why they call it a leap of faith. Everybody who bought the Season Pass had no idea what they were getting into. Also I am pretty happy that most of those players left now we know who are true legitamate Gearheads and Epic is making these events and DLC for them. Perhaps you should join the Call of Duty players that might be more your style.

  • Aurelius

    Dont worry man, just one less whiner inhabiting our awesome game. Have fun K Geezy.

  • Anonymous

    keep in mind that only the people who bought the pack can play it in horde, beast, and host it in private matches. instead of being angry, you need to realize that they are giving these maps away so that EVERYONE has them. That way they can make it mandatory to have them to play, and you wont have the problem of GOW2 where you never play the DLC because there is always one person who didn’t spend the money… unless you played in the DLC only playlists which had less people in them etc etc… This is better for the community, it sounds like you would have rather paid for them again? you are getting free maps, don’t cry.

  • Anonymous

    they are making the mp maps free to support the community so that it doesnt fragment like gow2 and you actually play matches on the new maps (If anything we should have complained about that!). Maybe its just because I’m a serious player… but being able to host the matches for private is a big deal for me, and I’m fine telling myself that that’s what I paid for in the HCP. And while I’m sure it doesn’t matter to you, Epic made a statement about a glitch with the way how it counts the number of people playing in one of the streams they had (to be clear they said it would affect gametypes with shorter matches more… it has to do with the way how it refreshes the count… so warzone/execution/alpha are on the low side)

  • Anonymous

    I don’t understand how changing circumstances for the future invalidates past purchases… if you read the description of HCP and thought it was worth it, or the description of the seasons pass… then why should this affect anything? People just need to be happy that this means that we wont get the map fragmentation that gow2 had where we never actually played the dlc maps we bought

  • Anonymous

    the horde command pack gave you the maps for private match play, horde and beast… so you wont see them in versus unless the dedicated servers went down and it picked a host with the maps, then picked the maps… after this the maps will be as common as any other and we will get plenty of versus time on them.

    I’m only a little annoyed that they advertised the 3 maps in the horde command pack DLC if to give them away latter. That in mind there’d be no point to having them if nobody else did I guess… I’m not sure where to stand. Hammer strikes are nice but eh….

    lmao, epic is retarded.

  • Ghost

    I agree, it was classic bait and switch, I didn’t pay for character skins, never in my life would I, but I was tricked into it as I thought I was getting exclusive maps as well. Completely ripped off, no other way of putting it. and I don’t care who disagrees with me, as this is my own opinion, every epic game from here on out gets purchased used and I’ll wait for the free map packs to come out next time.

  • Ghost

    yet you freeloaders are getting these maps SIMPLY because we were suckered into dropping $30. I GUARANTEE and would bet the fucking house that Epic would NEVER give these maps out for free had they not made millions off people buying Season Passes. so you owe us a fucking thanks, prick.

  • German arrieta

     everybody i am going to tell something
    who is agree with a new way of beast mode in which we can be the lambent ?
    my idea is to be in the first waves a polyp or a drone or a wretch or a regular drudge
    in the next line of creatures we can be the different mutating drudge with the arms and the headsnake and in the last we can be a gunker and every unlocked line of creatures means a lambent stalk in the  map being the objective conquer the map with the stalks and in the final wave kill Myrrah or Prescott.

    who is agree please likes and comment to know if you want the same as I

  • Katieten8

    I am incredibly angry that Epic has decided to release the Horde Command packs for free after the rest of us either paid $15 or invested in a season pass. When I purchased the Horde Command Pack it was for the maps; those are what made the package worth it. Characters, skins and fortifications are not worth $15. You have ripped off your fans and we should be receiving some kind of free content or compensation if we purchased the content you are now giving away for free less than a month later.

  • http://twitter.com/Twig11 Erik Hartwig

    Am I to take it that this new booster pack will be free? So people who DIDN’T buy the season pass will still get access to the new maps? Meaning the ones who did will get even LESS value for money? Are you actually taking the piss here guys? New skins etc are all fine and dandy, but like hell I’d have paid 800 points for them if i’d known I’d get actual maps for free anyway… maps are the only thing worth buying! Not happy Epic… not happy at all…

  • Kevin Van Natter

    Take it however you want, but you’d be wrong. You should try reading. It’ll relax you and you won’t sound like an ignorant fool.

  • Dissapointed, yet again…

    Yes I also agree, paying money for ridiculous add-ons that are ALREADY IN THE GAME is outrageous times are tough enough without having to pay money for some fucking maps!!!!! I was a huge fan of epic games until this DLC craze came about. I for one am done with this bullshit, thanks epic you have just lost yet another paying customer;)

  • Dissapointed, yet again…

    Calm down there kotex, he made a very valid point about the game DLC bieng a complete rip off, sure they worked hard on this game but it costs 60 fucking dollars in the first place i had to spend a whole paycheck just to make the damn game enjoyable, so quit bieng a little epic ass kisser and fuckoff.

    Dissapointed, yet again … I’m actually disappointed you didn’t stay on topic. Since Aduckinatub was talking about Epic being greedy and nothing about a rip off, I’m assuming you meant to respond to some other comment. Or maybe you look at game companies like Epic, Activision, EA, etc, as the evil money hungry (greedy) corporations out to suck every last dollar from your wallet by telling you you’re buying something and giving you something less (rip off)? BTW, I linked the two subjects for you … you’re welcome. If you think paying for the horde pack was a rip off, I bet knowing that Gears of War 3 going for $30 on Friday chaps your ass. You know, you might want to go see a finance consultant about your spending habits. I’m sure people around you would like you to spend your $60 paycheck on things like toothpaste and deodorant, and not on a game you whine about on the game developer’s website.

  • becky

    i have a question how come i downloaded the season pass and got nothing? my brother has a xbox live account and he got all the perks from the season pass that i purchased but i got nothing and i bought it on my account i cant get anything from the horde command pack on my name unless hes playing with me -_- can someone please explain this to me and how to fix it

  • Lawrencetorres

    Thankful for letting me walk around and sound as I am a silver back no hukka hukka.

  • Lawrencetorres

    thanful for letting us play till 1200 am to get the 1200 point purchase and this screen shot when i started the campaign after t  minus  arcade

  • Lawrencetorres

    thankful for hoping everyone is seeing this and doing well

  • Lawrencetorres

    thankful for players in campaign to keep me from looking for interactive objects

  • CALL ME S1X

    it seems like everyone would rather deal with booting that 1 person out the room for not having the dlc than actually be able to find a room in rapid succession. . .ok: yeah rustlung, blood drive and azura will be included with the free maps, but we season pass holders and HCP buyers still get those horde achievements, and 3 characters – plus theres no need to have a “map pack playlist only” option! its genious!

  • koe

     This would completely go against what Beast mode is about which Queen Myraah against Chairman Prescott. The Lambent doesn’t belong to either side.

  • koe

    Don’t you love the oblivious to the obvious?

  • koe

     Keep in mind the people who didn’t pay will not get the achievements nor will they get the characters, or the skins or the new fortifications. Also we’re the first in the general public to have played on them already.

  • koe

    You’ll be the only one who can buy the new fortifications though the other players will be able to repair them, unless it’s broken and needs to be bought again.

  • koe

    Actually when you bought the season pass in it’s description it did mention that one of the DLC will be for Horde/Beast. So you’re whining over nothing, and besides the maps are available for multiplayer now.
     

  • Matthew Rachansky

    Wow. I would never have imagined I’d see so much whining about the first DLC. “OMG tehy lied to us!111!!!!1!!!1!!!!” “It was only for HOrde! They’re giving stuff we paid for free!!!” Seriously?
    Get it straight-the *only* thing that the community as a whole is getting are the ability to play the maps on *Multiplayer*. They’re not getting anything else. I didn’t expect to pay for skins either, but know what? I don’t care. The command pack is good. Yeah, I said it. You freaking ungrateful whiny people who say how “messed up” Epic is and that they stole all your money is incredible. No one held a gun to your head and told you to by the Season Pass. You chose to. Knowing there wasn’t much info about upcoming DLC.
    Further-the maps aren’t giving access to anything else but public and private (yes, it did mention private matches somewhere) for all multiplayer game types. Not horde, not beast. Just multiplayer. Also-this is supposed to be a *community*. Don’t you think it would be best for everyone to have the maps, so everyone could enjoy the experience even if it’s just on public MP? The people dling the maps free don’t get access to hosting private on Azura and Rustlung in Horde, or Best. Only on MP. They’re not getting that much for free at all, and the fact you’re too busy whining about how messed up it is shows how little you pay attention. Or how poor your reading comprehension is.

    I’m really looking forward to Thanksgibbing. I think the cluckshot looks hilarious. I only have one question-will the 2 new maps be available on Horde and Beast at some point?

  • Matthew Rachansky

    Seriously You want to sell Gears and go play CoD and whine like a baby? Good. One less person I have to worry about quitting mid-match.

  • Matthew Rachansky

    I don’t think that’s true. It only mentiones the use of the maps on multiplayer, not Horde or Beast. if I’m wrong I stand corrected and now have 2 new maps to get my Horde on.

  • laxislife777

    Impossible mission?

  • Revengerboy

    Downloaded the booster pack 3 times, and it does not work for me, I have a new MW3 console, so I do not think the console is the issue.  What gives?

  • Sniprhawk2

    I played cluckshots this morning, but didn’t get the war supporter ribbon. Any idea on what to do? I’ve seen people get a glitch that lets them keep getting the war supporter ribbons, but why did I have to go the other way?… 

  • Exvert

    Honestly, can people not read…as stated above ” Remember, the only way to play Horde, Beast, or a privately hosted game
    on Azura, Rustlung, and Blood Drive will be to purchase the Horde
    Command Pack.” This means, that we paid to have them for horde and private match, those who did not buy the map pack will only be able to play them on public versus. BTW the title was the HORDE command pack.

  • hELLoTS

    LOL I’d call it: Angry Gears 

    hahaha

  • Synthinx

    This is the best weekend event yet!

  • Anonymous

  • Luigirocks10

    i downloade this two time!!!!! and it still didnt let me play online!!!! wtf????? i wana play but ur making it hard for me play EPIC

  • RAGE MOAR

    Oh no, free maps for multiplayer?! I MUST RAGE!!!!

    But seriously, all you morons complaining, you paid for a HORDE pack, its in the title for gods sake!
    Whether you paid for the season pass ($30) or the horde pack separately ($10) youre still not losing a lot of money. Nothin to freak out about lol

  • wheres my event epic?

    this didnt count for an event? played two matches never got a ribbon….. 

  • video?

    also where is the video it says i have to watch for mission impossible?

  • maps? more like craps

    also wtf happened to clocktower? its gears of war 3 tower now….. the sniper might as well be another pistol for the amount of use its gonna get…. and bullet marsh? wtf epic bullet marsh is a retarded map, and opening it up just makes it even more retarded

  • Anonymous

    I played cluckshots, but didn’t get the war supporter. What gives and how do I fix it?

  • Customer Upseat

    why you guys did the same shit that Activision did with the multiplayer, now i only can play with a few persons and sometimes i can’t even find a match, when we bought a xbox or a game said that we can play with any person around the world, not by region, you better fix that, dividing everything by fucking regions thats suck.

  • Jack

    i downloaded the booster map pack but still cant play on public playlists :( but ithis event sounds awesome though 

  • Silentechoe14

    I downloaded the new map packs and it doesn’t let me play still what’s up with this ?

  • Efren

    I am having a problem where Ive downloaded the booster map pack like 3 time already and it keeps telling me that i dont have the content and it wont let me play online can you please fix this

  • Customer Upseat

    Wow thats amazing, i didnt know that you can actually solve your customer complaints just with erasing their messages, you need to fix this issue, i don’t want to play only we people that lives in one region.

  • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=569683269 Iván Quilantán

    A lot of people are confused because the game keep asking for the download content even when is already downloaded… and the can go into public multiplayer… and there is a lot off people with that issue…

  • Pita26

    The whole purpose of dedicated servers is to reduce lag as much a possible. The team at Epic put A LOT of attention into making sure that lag was not an issue in this game, so yes, it does matter.

  • carmine

    beast mode sucks, you only get one minute and theres a bunch of spike barriers around and you get sucky guys at the beggining!

  • carmine

    epic games totally screwed up beast mode!!! and i was really looking forward to trying beast but when i did it really sucked!!

    Loved Thanksgibbing! Would love to see it added as it’s own versus option. My only gripe with Gears 3 is there is no Social Horde. Please bring that back!

  • Jack woody

    i need some help, basically the problem is that i have downloaded the booster map pack and it is still not letting me play versus game types. I’ve deleted the download and re-downloaded it but it’s no use, it’s still registering it as have no download…. Will getting the season pass help?

  • Blvdnights

    I am trying to access the Horde map pack. I bought the season pass. It says to get it from the in game store so i wont be charged twice. Where can I find the in game store?

  • AngryDude

    Why the heck can’t I play on dedicated servers?!
    I’ve downloaded the stupid booster pack like 15 times and it still says the same BS!! It’s making me want to throw my game out the freaking window. How about you fix this issue so I can enjoy your game as you want us to, or I can throw the game out the window and play MW3.
