Gears of War 3 Horde Command Pack Delayed [UPDATE]

News
Twitter facebook googlebuzz

The Gears of War 3 Horde Command Pack, the first piece of DLC set for release for the co-op game, has been delayed at the last minute due to technical glitch according to the game's community manager raczilla.  The content, which is priced at 800 , was set to go live today.

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.

The Epic Games Community team will stick around and keep you posted with any further information. Stay tuned for updates!

The Horde Command Pack is set to feature 3 new maps, 4 new fortification upgrades for Horde mode, 3 new characters and 2 new weapon skins.

It seems that DLC delays are all the rage these days, perhaps as DLC becomes more and more complicated and not just "maps."  Recently Space Marine on the Xbox 360 suffered a similar delay for it's Exterminatus DLC.

Update:  Epic's VP Mark Rein tweeted that the content should now be live!  Glad they got that technical issue solved quickly.

Disappointed. I guess I have to wait a bit longer to find out if its region locked or not.

Whats funny is that all this is already on the disc, and yet there is a "technical issue" with it.

where'd you hear that? i know the DLC has been "ready" for a long time but that's only because the games release was delayed for purely bureaucratic reasons. that's why it strikes me as odd that this is delayed. the impression i've had is that they haven't been rushed to put this DLC out because of all the extra time they were given. oh well.

Been reading Epic forums quite frequently lately. There it has been mentioned many times that this first DLC is already on the disc. We are just paying to have it unlocked.

I've been reading the Epic forums, too. I'd take everything said on there with a big grain of salt. Unless it comes straight from Rod or Cliffy B, consider it dubious.

So far, I'm a bit let down over the delay, but I can't complain. Gears 3 has delivered above my expectations. The Jack-o-Lantern Head Modes last night was a hoot.

It is. I just downloaded it. Still get the "it's Delayed message" on the calendar.

Yeah, I just downloaded it. Very happy that it wasnt region locked.

Also, the download itself was only 1.42 MB, so obviously most (or all ?) of the stuff were already on the disc.
