The first chunk of DLC for Epic’s Gears of War 3 has been delayed at the last minute, according to a post on Epic’s forums. The Horde Command Pack was set to bring 3 new maps, 4 new fortifications, 3 new characters, and 2 new weapon skins to Gears of War 3’s multiplayer. It was set to go live today for 800 Microsoft points. Epic’s excuse for the delay is a technical issue, as you’ll see in the statement below.
“The scheduled Horde Command Pack release for Gears of War 3 is temporarily delayed due to a technical issue. We apologize to those of you who are anxiously awaiting to play. We know this is disappointing news as we’ve seen a lot of posts today showing excitement for this content. We have folks working around the clock to resolve this issue ASAP so you can all play and enjoy the Command Pack.”
Whatever the issue is, here’s to it getting resolved quickly. No one likes to wait for anything these days, but if waiting means I’m paying for a bug-free product, that’s fine by me.
