Gears of War 2 'Dark Corners' DLC now more affordable photo

The fans have spoken, and Epic has listened. The previously announced "Dark Corners" add-on for Gears of War 2 is going to be cheaper than we thought. Originally, the downloadable content was priced at $20, but IGN has since reported that isn't the case any more.

Instead, "Dark Corners" will be only $15 at launch on July 28, because people like you and me complained. Considering the amount of content the DLC brings -- one new campaign chapter and seven new multiplayer maps -- I'd say it's justifiable for the average Gears fan.

And what about the deluxe platinum extreme collection of all the Gears of War 2 DLC, the "All Fronts Collection"? Last we heard, the $20 bundle had a planned retail release. According to Epic's Rod Fergusson, not any more it doesn't! "All Fronts" will now be purchasable only from the Xbox LIVE Marketplace, for the same crazy price. Yay?

And still not even worth it except for horde. Shame it took them over 7 months to remove the broken smoke grenades. I wonder how long til they remove the broken matchmaking. Oh, I forgot, the reset the max ping to 175 ms for a couple of weeks, then moved it back to 200ms. Seriously Epic, 200ms ping. Gears 3 better have a fucking extensive public beta to fix all of this bullshit.

Matchmaking does seem to feel broken, but I swear, it's massively satisfying when a team of low 20s and teens, beats a team of 4os and 50s. It happens quite a lot. I just assumed it was to do with the Trueskill thing, not necessarily rank-based, though yeah, occasionally you'll get a match so one-sided it's stupid. And still, no game comes close to the visceral pleasure, and the heart-thumping joy of a kill, in my opinion. I literally can't play any other game, and haven't been able to for the last twom months solid.

Epic is remaking Dark Corners of the Earth in the Unreal 3 Engine? Sweet!

@ChoasTeaCup: Try Gears1, it's faster, you can play EXACTLY what you want(no voting), and host is not near as powerful. Plus every map is not overloaded with power weapons and explosives. I have a group of friends who play pretty regularly so feel free to send me a friend request.

@ChaosTeaCup: Gears 2 multiplayer just let down the whole game, horde was good, and so was the campaign, but that biased peice of shit made me sell it (which i vowed not to do any more at the start of the year) I still own gears 1 which i still play because it is fun, not just 'omg im gunna kill him WTF i died? How?'

@CRAZYAPE69 I think I came in late enough in the day to miss out on all that shit, so I guess I'm not as jaded by G2 - I love the multiplayer, and the only issues I have are the occasional mis-connected round, and poor mis-matching every now and then. Usedtabe does raise a good point about the powerful weopons though, it is flippin' annoying when you go to pick up and someone's waiting with a boomstick to own you, but it just means you have to adapt. It's easily my favourite MP game at the moment, but like I said: must be that I was lucky enough to miss out on the earlier problems.
