This isn't going to sit well with all the critics of the Season Pass. They're going to think that Epic takes the money up front and can't deliver on the content.

[DAKing240]

Depends how long the delay is. Hopefully hours, and not days.. or even weeks!

[StanLee]

I was almost certain the content was already on the disc so it's surprise to me.

[JeffGUNZ]

It is on the disk. This is complete BS. I got the season pass. This game has frustrated me too much with the SOS and retro that I have already lost interest quickly. I don't get why they can't make a dedicated playlist for "classic" weapon layouts, but everyweek we can have booooomsnipes, or digger, or whatever.

This is the last straw. COD it is.

[Solidus187-SCMilk]

maybe, but it would be alot worse if they released it and it didnt work.

[BakedGoods]

It's okay.
Uncharted 3 came out today.

I can wait.

[morganfell]

I bought the season pass and I understand that issues arise. No big deal.

However, people submitting stories should not change the title to make matters worse. It is a violation of the N4G guidelines.

The actual title is:

"Breaking: Upcoming Gears of War 3 DLC, Horde Command Pack, Delayed"

Epic's statement was as follows:

"The scheduled Horde Command Pack release for Gears of War 3 is temporarily delayed due to a technical issue. We apologize to those of you who are anxiously awaiting to play. We know this is disappointing news as we’ve seen a lot of posts today showing excitement for this content. We have folks working around the clock to resolve this issue ASAP so you can all play and enjoy the Command Pack.

The Epic Games Community team will stick around and keep you posted with any further information. Stay tuned for updates!"

Nowhere did Epic use the word 'indefinitely'. Just report this and DAKing240 and then move on.

"Indefinitely - For an unlimited or [b]unspecified period of time[/b]"

Fits the bill I'd say.

[brendan4444]

naw..its probably just a 30 second delay

[WildArmed]

So.. where did the indefinitely come from in the title? I don't see it int he article headline..

[fastNslowww]

this is n4g..deerrr

[fastNslowww]

why do they have to apologise...shit like this happens, can't do much about it. Just that gamers are spoiled. Besides won't be long anyways.

[vickers500]

"why do they have to apologise"

Because they broke a promise. It's nothing to get apeshit pissed about, but it definitely warrants an apology, especially for those who paid for a season pass, but an apology is all that is needed (unless the dlc somehow gets delayed for a month).

It has nothing to do with gamers being spoiled, it's just common courtesy on the part of the dev.

[matt1991]

The content is ON THE DISC how could there be a problem.

[TheBlackMask]

I wouldn't be surprized to be honest

I mean for example you have a character like Bernie in the DLC....your telling me that a character who is in Gears 3 WAS NOT in the multiplayer to begin with.......bull.....crap.

The new single player DLC coming in December I understand but this seems like stuff which they just cut so they could get a good start on DLC and the season pass.

[_Aarix_]

Because its not...

[matt1991]

^^^ It is definitly on the disc.

[SantistaUSA]

so you are ok when you pay for a service and/or product that is promised to be delivered to you by certain day, and that day comes and they say it's going to be delayed!

I've been work in retail for several years and I am yet to have a customer that it is ok when things get delayed!!! So yes they need to apologize and/or give an extra discount if indeed is delayed!

[brendan4444]

add me on xbox live if any of you are playing gears 3 right now cant find a match...gamertag = og bc

[ECM0NEY]

O well ill be playing BF3 on PC

[_Aarix_]

Fine then get out of here...now

[brendan4444]

good man

[Les-Grossman]

If they keep delaying everything then I wonder how long before people start demanding refunds ?

[Zydake]

Lmao? I soon as I read the title I remembered when the people said "Oh there making us pay for content thats already on the disc" idk why I just found that amusing.

[TheBlackMask]

It dosen't make a difference, what if there having problems with the stuff already on the disc (IF IT IS)....they might of noticed it untill now.

[Chuk5]

Damn it.

[Kings4L]

dosnt even matter to me, ill be playing uncharted anyway..

[Mottsy]

This is a gears of War 3 article not Uncharted 3. you turned left when you should have turned right =/

[MasterD919]

I'm pissed...They had months to get this crap out and its already on disc...plus I just so happened to have paid for it via the Season Pass.

EDIT: Apparently its fixed???? Don't screw me Cliffy! I want my maps dammit!
