DLC Season Pass pre-order? What? With 4 maps, all DLC maps should be free.
There are 8 and 2 free maps coming.

Anyone wants some Judgement DLC? I don't really get what it is. Young Dom, Anya, Hammerburst, whatever that means. I guess multiplayer?

Pity, I was hoping for at least an option/mode as such.
Thanks, grabbed Dom.

There are 10 maps. Four for over run, four for "competitive" MP and another two to be released for free early next month.

I'm not sure why people put a lot of stock in the People Can Fly name, or at least the talent pool of Painkiller. Looking at the credits, only 2-3 developers from PCF who worked on Painkiller worked on either Bulletstorm (Adrian Chmielarz - creative director, Wojciech Madry - level design) or Hard Reset (Michal Sadowski - level design, Marek Galach). The rest went and did something else (Bartek Sokolowski - lead programmer of Painkiller, Pawel Ruszkiewicz - weapon design).
Adrian, Andrzej Poznanski (level design), Michal Kosieradzki (character design) left last year to form The Astronauts (Vanishing of Ethan Carter). They were the original founders of PCF.
The rest might be talented but this is not the Painkiller team at all that you're seeing the fruits of labor of. Just my 2 cents.

Messofanego - you still have Wojtek Mądry (lead LD), Sebastian Woldański (tools programmer), Michał Nowak (senior LD) who are still in PCF and did Painkiller.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
4 maps is kinda hilarious, but then, I'd be buying the game for the single player anyway since I don't want to pay for Live at this point. As much as I love Gears, though... I just don't know if I wanna drop $60 on it.

I'm waiting for someone to post the credits of Judgment on Youtube to see if they're still there. Madry is still a crucial guy if he's there.
EDIT: Oh wait you are a PCF guy, ok cool to know

LOL, the reviews are overwhelming positive for this game. The only people that this is a orrying day for are trolls.
"Disappointing" does not mean bad, "disappointing" means that it has not met realistically high standards.
I've just read two Eurogamer reviews, both emphasise the game being basic and familiar, with its main strength lying on replay-ability rather than innovation. Gears of War has been better than this, this title is quite clearly a step down from those which came before it, so I don't see how being disappointed is 'trolling'.

When you said disappointing reviews it seemed like you were talking score wise, the scores have been very good and if you read the blurbs in the review thread they all seem very positive about the game. I have no idea what your realistically high standards are, but the reviews I have read sound like this game is much better then people were expecting for a side game made by a new developer.
No...
I've also just read TheEscapist's review and watched the GT review and witnessed further emphasis that this title is not delivering anything significantly new for both the series and the genre. This is a reasonable thing to be disappointed by, if peoples highest expectations for the game were, like Halo, "oh thank fuck it's decent", then they should be re-evaluating their expectations.
Yeah a spin-off scoring lower than the main game. Shocking news.

Overrun is awesome people are digging this game that hated gears 3. I think PeopleCanFly Made changes that would draw more people in. Haters gonna Hate.

How you can say that they are not offering anything new to the series is beyond me. The whole game is built around them trying new things. I posted a huge list of changes in the review thread, and several other people have mentioned them as well.
You've misinterpreted what I have said; again.
From what I've witnessed, there has been nothing significantly groundbreaking.

XP booster microtransactions
I know we've seen this before but what's next for the video game industry? microtransactions that finish the game for us? pathetic

No words.
The monetization of weapon skins in Gears 3 was annoying. This is just another level. And people WILL buy this.

Lol your really butt hurt by this game. I mean I know you made the gears 3 op but seriously?
"While getting double XP for every match wont necessarily mean youll be a better player, it will, however, give you earlier access to more equipment, guns and other unlockable stuff."
Er, will it? Gears has never tied anything important to level ups.

in gears2? no it was just a title update.
in gears3 though it was tied to character/weapon skin unlocks. not important
in judgment? who knows, it might unlock different weapons for our loadouts in addition to skins.
They are changing their game into something that caters to a fickle, disloyal group of people who will quickly move onto to another game. People who've stuck with the series are getting a product full changes they never asked for.
Some are good, some aren't. Overall, it's frusturating.
Also, (maybe mentioned in the other thread)frag tagging was an awful mechanic. I'm glad it's, gone. It slowed down the pace of the game too much.

It doesn't.
I figured we would have heard about that by now if that was the case. If it's just skins again then the double xp stuff doesn't mean anything. It's dumb, but no dumber than the ABSURDLY priced weapon skin pack from gears 3.

Its a side project though, not a full on numbered Gears. Why not let them experiment and try some new things?
Halo ODST didn't end up changing Halo campaigns, although it did bring Firefight into the fold.

Damn, just checked my US pre-order at Amazon and all I get is a Yong Dom, whatever the hell that is. I'm guessing its a dumpling of some kind.
Amazon said:
ODST didn't feature any drastic changes to the controls. Plus, it brought back health packs. Stamina was essentially your shield.
Besides Aftermath, Judgement features nothing that prolongs the life of Gears 3. All Judgement needed was a new campaign, all of Gears 3's existing MP content (including DLC) the new weapons, Overrun and new maps. That would have been sufficient. It would offer something new but stay true to a formula that a lot of people already enjoy. The new content would be supplementary at most, while the core content would be mostly intact and unchanged.
Everyone would win
Edit
No CoG vs Locust competitive modes is a travesty. CoG vs CoG makes no sense. Red and blue armor? Wut? No reason for them to change that. Playable Locust should have stayed. It would be a lame move, but I hope. They're DLC.

OverRun is a mode that more franchises could benefit from, like that short-lived FF Versus mode in Reach. Should've went the next step and let you play as the different Covenant.
Agreed.. just makes too much sense ;\
Locusts being removed from competitive multiplayer is even more offensive than Elites being removed from Halo. Gears was like the pinnacle of representing team vs team with balanced (equal hitboxes) character skins!

Season Pass at Best Buy and Gamestop give you a free 400 MSP if you buy it from them.
Gears of War: Judgment Unlockables trailer
I'm fine with the 4 maps or 8 maps controversy, but this is pretty slimy. If you can make a 1:40 long trailer of your exclusive skins, I don't think that's a good thing.
