Yeah, it's pretty strange for two characters who are supposed to be "badass" to be wearing those.

Whether this would be worth it or not, what the singleplayer part actually contained.. You know... Question one usually asks himself/herself when a DLC is announced?

Unless you play the multiplayer on Gears of War 2 the All Fronts and Dark Corners DLC isn't really worth getting. It'll add maybe 20-30 minutes of campaign time max. If you do play the multiplayer then the pack is definately worth getting.

Huh, doesn't look like GoW 2 is gonna replace Splinter Cell anytime soon...

And holy crap, are they seriously climbing up ladders with one arm? Wouldn't it be smarter to just put away your gun and climb up with two arms, like a normal person? Seems kinda dangerous going up with only one hand.

No wonder this stuff wasnt included in the final game, the stealth just looks boring as hell and poorly executed. So for someone who doesnt play Gears Of War online, this would just be a terrible waste of money.

The extra content was fun for a bit but I think that the new maps is where its at of course if your not into multiplayer then you should pass on this

The sand map looks good but it would be kinda nice if they fixed the terrible technical problems first.

The deleted scene was actually more fun then I thought it would be, especially if you choose not to go with the stealth method. The seven multiplayer maps are pretty interesting as well, especially Nowhere.

The DLC was fun, but I can see why it was taken out. The price for this and 7 maps is great for $15. The maps are fun.

This really does look incredibly boring to play through in stealth.

'Nowhere' does look pretty good, though.

that stealth part looked bad.  I would have thought it'd be cool, but it just doesn't make sense wearing the guard armor yet still hiding.

This was great for me. Except for a few games, I refuse to pay for DLC until the price comes down (which means never for some). All the maps for 20 bucks? Yes, please.

This game doesn't seem to be made for stealth, walking 3 feet past blind guards looks laughable.

wow... this is supposedly great gears of war? Never seen it before but it looks like shit. Not just the stealth, I understand thats not the intent of the game, but the gunplay looks horrifically bad and the game seems to be easy enough that you have god mode, auto aim, and AI stupid mode permanently on. Is the whole point of the game to give 12 year old kids a lot of animated blood to look at?
