Make no mistake, Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection is _not_ a traditional expansion set. This DLC is fairly priced based on traditional expansion set sta ndards. The total cost: 1600 Microsoft Points ($23.20).

From my perspective, this is a rip off and save for the Flashback Map Pack which came free with the retail game, I have not purchased any of these.Īt the end of this past July, Epic Games and Microsoft Game Studios released the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection, which is a compilation of all the Multiplayer Map Packs, including the "Road to Ruin" deleted Campaign Chapter featured in the Dark Corners Map Pack. For Gears of War 2, there are presently 4 different Multiplayer Map Packs available, containing 3, 4, or 7 maps and ranging in price from 400 to 1200 Microsoft Points ($5.80 to $17.40). Any major title on the Xbox 360 has seen this, and many shooters, such as Gears of War 2, are presented with a host of Multiplayer Map Packs for gamers to download.įor my own part, I've seen the current DLC trend in a very negative light, as it often allows developers to produce a simple amount of content at little time and effort to themselves, while allowing publishers to jack up the price and maximize profits while short-changing us, the gamers, on quality. The current trend in the video game industry is no longer to released quality expansion sets for successful games, thus tiding us over with some additional single player and multiplayer goodness before the next sequel, instead it's to release a host of DLC add-ons that are often greatly overpriced for their worth.
