[quote]So i see the season pass and its absurd pricing. Now im not one to be spendy on games and cant really play with my younger cousin anymore (kids and all that) but i just got Gears 4 and know nothing about the maps. 1. Is there public lobby for dlc maps or is it for private only? 2. Are there any GOOD maps. Like easier maps to hit 50 in horde.. than in vanilla? 3. If i get the season pass this late do i miss out on gear packs or will it send me the number of packs given since day one? (I think it said you get periodic packs with pass). I doubt 3 is likely. These three questions will influence my decision. Trust me i hate the pricing and micro-trans of gears 4 but ive always gotten the season pass for gears and i like the campaign so far. Thanks[/quote] 1. All dlc maps are available to anybody in public matches. Season pass gives you the opportunity to host these maps in private. 2. Yes. Checkout is one of the easiest horde maps(takes about 45 minutes). But that's only one map, so I can't recommend buying it just for that one map. 3. You will get the packs. But there are no periodic packs. Just the 50 or so they give you as soon as you buy it. I can't say I'd recommend buying it. It's greatly overpriced currently. However, they recent said they are thinking about offering special items to SP owners, so that's a plus. But this is very vague, and until we find out what these "special items" are, I'd wouldn't get it. Also just a PSA there will be no campaign DLC for gow4 so keep that in mind.
