Gears of War 3 - Fenix Rising DLC

Gears of War 3 is back with an all new DLC. Introducing 5 new maps, 4 new character skins, and a brand new "Re-up" leveling system to the mix; this pack will not disappoint if you like the multiplayer side of Gears.

The new "Re-up" leveling system will allow players to reset their experience and rank while keeping their progression in the game such as their TrueSkill rating. Players will be allowed to "Re-up" 3 times, which means in theory a player can get to level 400. Each "Re-up" earns the player a new rank icon color, which are as follows: Bronze, which is the default level 100 color, Red, Green, and Gold. If that wasn't enough, each "Re-up" after Bronze will net the player an exclusive weapon skin that you will not be able to achieve any other way. Those are as follows:

• Re-Up Plasma – Animated flowing plasma in gold
• Re-Up Omen – Shiny, red Omen
• Re-Up Electric – Animated, golden electric shocks


The 5 spectacular new maps each have their own story behind them which directly links them to the Gears of War story. As seen in the picture above, these maps are entitled Academy, Anvil, Escalation, Depths, and finally The Slab.

In addition to this great offer comes the 4 character skins which for the COG include Recruit Clayton as he was when he first enlisted into the COG and special limited edition version of Thrashball Cole. For the Locust you will get the brand new Savage Marauder and speacial limited edition version of the Savage Kantus.

This DLC is to be released on January 17, 2012, for a small sum of 800 Microsoft Points, or will be included in the Gears of War 3 Season Pass.
