Microsoft has released details of the third batch of DLC for Epic's manly man-shooter, Gears of War 3. Called Fenix Rising, it features new maps, new character skins and a new XP system.
There are five new maps included in the pack, each of which draws from the history of the series. Academy is set in the military school Marcus was destined to attend, but defied tradition by skipping. Anvil takes place in the destroyed fortress of Anvegad, while Depths is where Marcus' dad, Adam Fenix, was held captive.
Meanwhile, Escalation takes place in and around the Fenix household and The Slab is the prison that Dom broke Marcus out of way back in Gears 1. All five of the maps are playable across Versus Multiplayer, Horde and Beast Mode.
The skins on offer are spread across COG and Locust designs. The pack offers up Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole, Savage Marauder and Savage Kantus character models.
Perhaps of most interest to the ultra-hardcore, however, is the new levelling system. This allows players to effectively "Prestige" once they hit level 100. Chose to do this and your experience and rank will be reset and your rank icon colour will change. This is possible up to three times, moving from Bronze to Red, Green and then Gold.
Furthermore, each Prestige level (Epic are calling it "Re-up") after Bronze also awards the player an exclusive, custom weapon skin. These are:
Re-Up Plasma – Animated flowing plasma in gold. Re-Up Omen – Shiny, red Omen. Re-Up Electric – Animated, golden electric shocks.
Out on Jan 17th, the Marcus Rising pack will set you back 800 MSP. Owners of the Season Pass get it for free.

I think Brothers to the End might be a permanent addition to the versus modes.

Well gamers really like the campaign on Gears, also can't you play Horde offline? If you have the setup you can get games cheap.

You can play all the modes offline with system link, co-op and bots.

My buddy with a modded box also makes games for others with modded boxes and only charges $5 a game. So it's a tradeoff but still a decent setup.
