Yeah I agree. Gears 2 was a big disappointment for me. I played Gears 1 all the time, but Gears 2 is just meh.

It's a part of the game that was cut from Gears 2, so I doubt Epic expected it to be a AAA expansion. I'll pass.

Still good value for people that wait to buy map packs like myself :) New mission plus all the other DLC plus 7 new ones for $20, easy.

The DLC. Just seems like its taken a long time to be developed.

Yeah considering it's just map packs that have been out for a while and a scene that was cut from Gears 2 (which was probably about half done), it has taken quite a while

the mission isn't the purpose of the dlc, the 7 maps are. if you have the previous maps its discounted i believe. mission is bonus

Either way, I'll be getting it. $15 for 7 new multiplayer maps and a new chapter. Great buy IMO.

Yeah, I still enjoyed it but it was a huge disappointment. I come back to it time to time to play some of the horde mode but once ODST comes out I'm selling the game.

And thats the reason why deleted scenes from games should stay deleted.

But I guess if you like the maps then go for it. But going from the review the chapter sounded lackluster.

Thats most likely why it was cut from the game.

I'll pass. Other worthwhile games are worth my time. Hopefully, they do learn from their mistakes and redeem themselves for Geow3, Although, i am not giving much hope seeing as how Geow was a much better game(MP Wise) then Geow2 but oh well, we'll see.

It is a deleted scene for a reason. Anyway, the multiplayer maps are the high light. I only got the Flash Back maps for free, so I'm looking forward for all of these maps coming up.

wont be getting it, i thought the SP DLC was gonna be some new act or something, it turned out to be an alternative way to do just a part of original SP mission.

I thought the fourth Act in Gears 2 went on for too long, got sick of it in fact, which is a shame because the rest of the campaign is so well paced. Id rather just pick up the disc version.

agreed i feel this way about most DLC tbh .. it has to be something special to make it worth getting right now, i'm thinking about getting lost n damned .. or i might wait and get the double DLC disk in october i've not yet played fallout 3 .. thinking of getting the GOTY edition in the autumn with all the current DLC bundled in as well
