You've got to be kidding. The hammerburst, a staple of the Gears of War franchise is now a pre-order bonus? What the hell?!

No wonder people are leaving Epic, it looks like the company is going straight down the crapper. Can't blame people like Rod Fergusson and Cliffy B for leaving really, I guess they saw all the nonsense that was coming with Gears Judgement and decided to abandon ship. Looks like they made the right decision.

Did you watch the video??!
Classic Hammerburst is a retro weapon, much like the Retro Lancer. It is the Hammerburst from Gears 1, so it stands to reason that the regular Hammerburst from Gears 2 and 3 (has ironsights, classic doesn't) will still be available. Get clued before you post your fanboy nonsense. All that junk you wrote was based on your own ignorance.

Wow that's bad... you'd have thought a character model or weapon skins would be more suitable

As much as I like gears, this one just seems like a re hash to me. I'll pass till the next gen.

Gears of War: Judgement, a Ten Year Reunion

WTMG's Aaron Price: "Revisiting Judgement is always a treat, especially now, ten years after its release. It received a lot of hate for its changes upon release, but it has aged like an average quality wine. It’s not perfect, but it’s more than worth a playthrough, which leads me to the last thought on the game, as little as I’m looking forward to it… it’s time to try for all the challenge stars in the campaign on Insane difficulty. Pray for me."

5 of the best Gears of War maps

Brandon writes: "Perhaps one thing that makes multiplayer stand tall in Gears of War is its maps. Uniquely symmetrical in layout, and usually fair in weapon placements as such, maps have often been a vehicle for Gears of War's multiplayer, be it Execution, King of the Hill, Team Deathmatch, or even Horde mode. While very tough to round up the best of the best, below are what could easily be the definitive multiplayer maps for the Gears of War series."

Mansion is one of my favorites. From the start of each spawn session most of your teammates run to the right, but If you were fast enough you could run through the Mansion and come up behind the other team essentially flanking them early on in the match. I did it many times back in the day. Some would catch on though lol. I really wish the mansion map had been included in Gears 4.

Jacinto was terrible and Streets wasn't particularly good either. Where is Fuel Depot/Canals/Escalation/Checko ut?
