If ye've purchased the Gears a War 3 Horde Command Pack, now available, ye've got access t' three new maps titled Azura, Rustlung, 'n Blood Drive. However, if ye wait until November 24, ye'll be able t' snag those three maps along with two Gears 1 favorites, Swamp 'n Clocktower, in the free "Versus Booster Map Pack" update. a course, that free update leaves out the new Horde fortification upgrades, the new playable characters 'n weapon skins 'n, perhaps most importantly for some a ye, the Horde Command Pack's 250 Achievement points.

But if it be single-player DLC ye're interested in, RAAM's Shadow will be available on December 13 for 1200 Microsoft Points ($15). That buys ye "more than three hours" a prequel gameplay, six new multiplayer characters, 'n another 250 Achievement points. It also gives us another opportunity t' learn more about Locust war hero, General RAAM ... what be his motivations? What about his feelings?
