Gears of War "Triple Pack" Announced

You guys really will complain about anything wont you?

Wonder if they've added the PC only Gears of War levels for the first where you fight the Brumak (or however you spell it's name) probably not but it would be nice to finally let xbox owners play that section.

This seems a bit odd, a retaliation to Sony's recent spat of triple packs?

Seems kind of strange they would release this in February with Gears 3 set for around November.

I don't like Gears of War. I played and beat the first two out of obligation, and I am having a hard time understanding the popularity of those games.

Played first GoW. Didn't care for it at all. Didn't think it was a very good looking game despite what everyone else said, story was uninteresting even by shooter standards. Gameplay was competent I give it that, but somehow didn't like it very much anyway. It lacked a soul for lack of a better word. I'm sure it was some good programming, but artistically it was horrible in every way.

Yeah I guess it does at least say on the front that the third thing is DLC.

Thats a pretty damn good deal.  And these are HD re-releases too!  Way to go Microsoft!

...but for $14.99 I can buy both games at GameStop.

I can't download Gears DLC so easily here in Germany, so I might get this.

Guess it's time for a new Sony ad with that old guy and he'll reference this somehow.

" Déjà vu...

   Oh Microsoft, you so crazy. "

Déjà vu...

I bet I will pick it up.

That's a really cheap and dishonest way to get extra sales.

" It's kind of silly that they called it the Triple Pack, misleads people into thinking it includes Gears 3... although I remember a Halo triple pack back before Halo 3's release which I got. "

The only people who will buy this are the ones who don't already own gears 1 and 2 so eh I guess its nice for them.  I didn't play gears 2 until september last year, it sucks to miss a games peak time especially one as fun as gears2 with so much awesome co-op/multiplayer stuff.

I guess "Gears of War- Retarded stunt" ain't as catchy.

It's kind of silly that they called it the Triple Pack, misleads people into thinking it includes Gears 3... although I seem to remember the same thing happening with Halo before Halo 3's release

I think triple pack is a rather misleading title. 

Is that really a triple pack? It's Gears of War 1 and 2 and some lame DLC. 

Have you watched the Road to Ruin quick look Brad?

I will wait for the inevitable edition of all 3 GoW games in a pack, the fabled Quad-Damage Edition. 

Im guessing it was chosen to make us accustomed to Gear of War and the number three being together.

I wonder if they fixed the gameplay in both games? LOLOLOLOLOL 
The patch that they released for GoW 1 after gears 2 was sinister. 

Odd choice of words, isn't one a piece of GoW2 DLC. 

That was the best name they could come up with?

Attention of all three of you Xbox 360 owners who don't own any copies of Gears of War: Microsoft and Epic Games have announced the Gears of War Triple Pack, a $30 bundle that includes the original Gears of War and its sequel, as well as the vast majority of downloadable content that was released for both games. 

According to today's press release, the multiplayer-focused DLC totals to about 19 maps. What’s missing is the first map pack for Gears, “Multiplayer Map Pack 1” and the “Hidden Fronts” map pack, which isn’t a big deal considering that you can still download both on Xbox Live for the price of zero dollars.
