Just thought I'd update anyone that pre-ordered the 'All Fronts'.
Epic got rid of the retail version of this pack; this means no more strategy guide and poster. On the plus side its no longer a limited offer.
Both Dark Corners and All Fronts should be available on Xbox-live market place on July 28.
Dark Corners - 1200 MS points
All Fronts - 1600 MS points

Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
Retail version of 'All Fronts' cancelled
Shame, was looking forward to have another poster to my room.
This is a shame though, I was looking forward to buying a physical copy of something Gearsy to stay me during the long winter until they eventually bring out the third game.
There was no disc in the set, just a card with a download code, like those GTA4: Lost and The Damned cards, you'd still need to download it.

Maybe sometime down the line Epic will do a similar package to the current GoW Game of The Year Edition that will have a 2nd disc with all of the DLC, but this wasn't that.
I don't know what your situation is, but if you don't have a credit card / debit card just use cash to buy an MS Points card and DL the stuff.
" @Blu_Magic said:I'm pretty sure the downloadable version of the All Fronts pack comes with the Dark Corners and all the other map packs. You might have known that if you had bothered to read the original post by the TC." @musdy said:Yeah but I wanted all the other map packs as well. "" It's a shame, looks like Gears 2 will continue to collect dust on my shelf. "You can still download it off the marketplace, for basically the same price. "
I'll get it when they drop the price. 1200 Microsoft Points is way to much to spend on a broken multiplayer experience.
" @natetodamax said:Achievements, and a few moments of stupid fun with friends." I'll get it when they drop the price. 1200 Microsoft Points is way to much to spend on a broken multiplayer experience. "...why bother getting it at all if you think the multiplayer is broken? "
I was just checking Amazon today to see about preordering this. Maybe I'm weird, but I would have liked to have the free poster for the same price.
Ahh well, it's much easier to get 1600 point cards then to hunt down this retail pack. I've still yet to see a single copy of TLAD in retail.
Why would you need to buy a physical copy of multiplayer maps which you play online at a shop when you can just download them anyway?
