Double XP? It's almost like they're dabbling into iOS IAP territory

Welcome to the future.

Double xp boost?

Unfortunately this means $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Gorillaz · Feb 26, 2013

Yikes at the double xp thats a little overboard for a SP.

wrog · Feb 26, 2013

Plus there will be free multiplayer DLC, thanks to Maxim.

Microsoft, Epic Games and MAXIM are delivering even more adrenaline-fueled action to Gears fans with the upcoming post-launch release of two free, MAXIM-sponsored multiplayer maps Haven and Capitol as well as Execution Mode.

MS is genius. They will make so much money from just achievement whores, not to mention the other legit players

The Lancer chainsaw now runs out of petrol and you have to wait an hour for it to refill -- or spend $3 to refill now!

Steverulez · Feb 26, 2013

So I take it there will not be any single player DLC then? In which case pass.

Liquid_Bike · Feb 26, 2013

Was the rumor that the game only ships with 4 maps true?

ViewtifulJC · Feb 26, 2013

These character skins are getting ridiculous

Gears 3 season pass was more expensive, but it actually had a pretty decent amount of content

Syphon Filter · Feb 26, 2013

Is it me or these skins make the game look ugly as hell. I thought the same for gears 3,seems unnecessary.

wrog · Feb 26, 2013

Liquid_Bike said:

No, there will be 8 maps on disc (4 for Deathmatch etc. modes and 4 for Overrun/Survival).

Vexxan · Feb 26, 2013

Dat double XP money. Good thing I don't really care about the multiplayer of this game.

charsace · Feb 26, 2013

The game is $80 so its cheaper than Gears 3. Season pass is destroying competitive shooters.

Gears is no longer competitive with this installment.

Ragus · Feb 26, 2013

Ahahahaaha. Fucking disgusting.

RoKKeR · Feb 26, 2013

I think the line "won't get fooled again" applies here.

Gears 3 season pass was a huge mistake. Just never played the maps.

equippedwithtowel · Feb 26, 2013

Hopefully this doesn't catch on, Activision could make a killing like this if they bothered.

black_vegeta · Feb 26, 2013

Bwahahahahaha, fuck you Epic!

njean777 · Feb 26, 2013

Will be buying the game, not so sure about the season pass though.

Shut your mouth, this Gears will be better than 1,2,3 all combined.

robot · Feb 26, 2013

Permanent Double XP is sooooo dirty.

I wonder what Cliffy B has to say about this one! New thread!

Keyser Soze · Feb 26, 2013

I have bought Coin Doubles in iOS games bepfre, but those game were FREE TO START WITH.

So, instead of me effectively giving the developers a tip for their work, this is like the publisher saying "fuck you you massive twat"

Goldenroad · Feb 26, 2013

Why don't they call it like it is? You get 1/2 XP if you don't buy the season pass. Lame. Not a chance Microsoft. Not a chance.

Izick · Feb 26, 2013

Game looks awesome, but I don't like the idea of paying for XP.

charsace · Feb 26, 2013

Gears 3 was the best game in regards to balance and overall gameplay. The season pass messed things up by segregating the community.

lol good joke

Gears 3 Season Pass was really good , Judgment Season Pass sounds awful and disgusting

Z_Y · Feb 26, 2013

Just a friendly reminder that if you pre-order through the MS store you get a 1600 point code for free. Might take the sting out of this a bit.

I loathe this season pass shit though.

giancarlo123x · Feb 26, 2013

Gears 3 season pass was one of my favorites....what the hell happened?!

padlock · Feb 26, 2013

Double XP = Pay To Win

This is the kind of shit that puts me off video games entirely. I hope it bombs miserably.

Izick · Feb 26, 2013

So Gears 3 is only 15$ now...worth it?

Foffy · Feb 26, 2013

Guess I won't be getting this.

Double XP is not Pay To Win.

Definitely. One of my favorite multiplayer games this gen.

TheChits · Feb 26, 2013

I've put countless hours into every gears game, but I can't get interested in Judgement. This is certainly helping me stay away

Izick · Feb 26, 2013

Syphon Filter said:

Guessing cause it's old news now that Judgement is coming.

Zarbor · Feb 26, 2013

**** YOU Fail Games

Kouriozan · Feb 26, 2013

Is this a F2P MMO where you have to pay to win?
Perm. double XP is too much.

There are no advantages that come with being a high rank.

This is good news for achievement whores I guess.

Sojgat · Feb 26, 2013

Looks about as enticing as the Aliens: Colonial Marines season pass.

MikeE21286 · Feb 26, 2013

Have there been any season passes that have turned out good for the consumer? real question.

All I hear about are the horror stories, since I would never buy one.

BF3 Premium has been fantastic. Other than that, all of them have burned me.

D4Danger · Feb 26, 2013

4 maps on the disc for each mode, 6 more for an extra $20? yeah, fuck off.

L.A. Noire's was really solid. 8,99€ for all DLC cases (except one pre-order case) and other shit iirc

RoKKeR said:

The DLC was/is pretty good, but it didn't help that all the included maps are complete garbage. So you were pretty much forced to drop another 50 buck to get any enjoyment out of the game.

Also, LOL permanent double XP. are they serious?

codhand · Feb 26, 2013

this will be the best gears of war game; it will sell the worst

ahh, very good point.

I did buy the Premium Edition on PS3, that's right. Guess I lied

This! I feel like the advertising is not the best but I will see. Where is the best place to pre order it?

Skilotonn · Feb 26, 2013

Gears 3 Season Pass was definitely worth it - can't speak for any other games, but I did hear that plenty other people got reamed hard in other games.

And if Gears 3 is anything to go by, nobody will need to worry about not having double XP, since you get so much XP after each match, especially in Ranked.

Nice to see that we're getting free maps again too.
