Gears Of War: Judgment Call To Arms Map Pack Available On April 23

Epic Games made its first add-on for Gears of War: Judgment available late last month as it introduced a new multiplayer map and fan-favorite multiplayer mode, Execution. Gears of War: Judgment’s first official map pack has just been announced this morning, so let’s get to it.

The Call to Arms map pack will include three multiplayer maps: Terminal, Blood Drive and Boneyard. Terminal will take place somewhere within Halvo Bay’s train terminals, while Blood Drive’s setting will be inside of a Halvo Bay hospital. The last, Boneyard, will take place inside of a Halvo Bay memorial grounds. A new multiplayer mode called “Master At Arms” is also being introduced in this map pack which is a free-for-all game mode that will challenge players to get a kill with each of the 20 different available weapons, without resorting to melee or grenade kills.

Gears Of War: Judgment Makes First Add On Available Free For Limited Time

Up until Wednesday evening, I was playing the heck out of Gears of War: Judgment , but once BioShock Infinite has come into my life, I’ve been spending all of my time with the new hotness, but after hearing about today’s update, I might be splitting my time with both games this weekend.

Epic Games is partnering up with everyone’s favorite magazine geared towards men and their girlfriends, MAXIM, to deliver the game’s first add-on to include the return of one of the franchise’s most popular multiplayer modes, Execution, as well as a new multiplayer map called Haven. The add-on will be free to a limited time, so those of you who currently own Gears of War: Judgment need to jump on this add-on ASAP by downloading it directly from the dashboard or through Xbox.com as the in-game function is currently out-of-order.

Gears of War: Judgment Now Available Exclusively On Xbox 360

Gears of War: Judgment Now Available Exclusively On Xbox 360

Gears of War: Judgment has been a long time coming as the last Gears of War game, Gears of War 3, was released back in September 2011. The launch of a Gears of War game outside of the holiday season is certainly one Gears fans aren’t too familiar with, but we’re sure you’ll adapt to it quickly considering today’s release gave you more time for other holiday games, like Halo 4.

Gears of War: Judgment is the first game in the series to not only be a prequel, but it also doesn’t have you playing as Marcus or Dominic, two characters that have been been recognized as the heart and soul behind the Gears franchise. In Judgment, you follow the story of Kilo Squad which brings back fan favorites Damon Baird and Augustus Cole, while also introducing two new characters to the Gears of War games, Sofia Hendrick and Garron Paduk.

The game’s multiplayer will also introduce some firsts as Judgment will include a number of new and classic multiplayer modes that include competitive modes such as OverRun, Domination, Free-for-All and Team Deathmatch, as well as a new co-op game type called Survival.

Gears Of War: Judgment Cinematic Trailer Highlights Emergence Day

Gears of War: Judgment is just a week and a half away from its release, which means we can expect to learn a little bit more about Kilo Squad before the events that occurred during Gears of War even happened. The game takes place immediately after Emergence Day and its Kilo Squad’s mission, nay, their duty to save Halvo Bay from the unstoppable Locust.

Gears of War: Judgment’s debut TV commercial may not have impressed us, but the game’s new cinematic trailer more than makes up for it as you can certainly feel the tension that’s building up in the game from the opening sequence. I mean, we see Baird salute someone and then get punched in the face and dragged off to stand trial. Then, all hell breaks lose as the Locust attack during Baird’s trial.

The cinematic trailer also highlights some of the multiplayer action we can expect in Gears of War: Judgment, which introduces a class-based multiplayer mode in addition to tons of explosions and blood. Two things Gears of War players already know is a staple of the series.

Gears Of War: Judgment ‘Cheevos’ Commercial Focuses On Multiplayer Hijinks

Last night’s re-run of Family Guy played host to the first commercial for Gears of War: Judgment, which will be releasing on the Xbox 360 on March 19. The commercial, called “Cheevos” ditches the traditional Gears of War commercials that featured some heart-wrenching visuals while somber music played, and instead went for a multiplayer-focused ad.

The Cheevos commercial highlights three Gears of War multiplayer fans who are apparently proud of achievements they’ve completed in Gears of War: Judgment. One fan completed 40 declassified missions, another won 92 Overrun matches and the last earning the “Like A Boss” achievement on his 22nd attempt. (more…)

Gears of War: Judgment Highlights New Features, Comes With Gears Of War

The next chapter in the Gears of War franchise is getting set to release on March 19, 2013 and even though this title is being developed by People Can Fly, fans of the series are still looking forward to experience some more Gears of War goodness.

Microsoft released a new trailer titled “The Guts of Gears” today that highlights a number of changes players can expect when Gears of War: Judgment is released in March. One of the first features highlighted in the trailer is its Declassified Missions, which allows you to play through a number of flashbacks Kilo Squad took part in.

The Smart Spawn System is also being introduced in Judgment which dynamically changes each time you play. If you’ve played through Horde mode in previous Gears titles, then the SSP will hopefully make it more difficult for players to predict where enemies will be spawning from.

In addition to the new trailer, Microsoft is also announcing today launch copies of Gears of War: Judgment will include download tokens for the original Gears of War, which will allow you to play it through the Xbox 360′s Games on Demand. Something tells us if you’re looking forward to Judgment, then you might already own a copy of Gears of War, but who doesn’t like a good freebie?
