Epic's forum erupt over DLC delay

Update: It's off hold! The DLC is out now.

Gears of War 3 fans awaiting the game's first batch of DLC will have to wait, as Epic Games has confirmed its Horde Command Pack has been “temporarily delayed” beyond its original November 1st release date.

Naturally, the news was taken by some as a sign of the impending apocalypse, and the forum thread has since expanded to over 130 pages of accusations, fan feuds, and general internetz shenanigans. In response to the feedback this morning, raczilla added: “I totally get that people are frustrated and that it's tough to wait. I just don't want you frustrated with each other!”

When it does come out (and it will people, chillax), the add-on will bring three new maps, and a handful of fortification upgrades, characters, and weapons. Epic's next expansion, RAAM's Shadow, is still on track for its December 13th debut, and is being touted as being the largest DLC release in the studio's history.
