Gears of War 3 – second DLC announced

The second batch of DLC for the latest Gears of War has been announced (here on Major Nelson) and to be honest, it’s making that ‘Season Pass’ sound more attractive by the day. Weighing in at 2400 MS Points, the Season Pass seemed at first a tad expensive, but seeing some people express interest  in the DLC range that has been promised coupled with the fact that I have been glued to the Team Deathmatch mode and that this batch of DLC offers new pre-Gears1 campaign. Makes this announcement quite a prospect, and that’s in the face of an impending deluge of Battlefield and Modern Warfare…Details as posted by Microsoft’s Major Nelson:
