Gears of War 3 adds 'Fenix Rising' map pack on Jan. 17
Attachment 4558
The "Fenix Rising" map pack for Gears of War 3 will decorate players who are already well-versed in rolling shotguns.
Quote:
The new add-on, due on January 17, 2012, for 800 MSP ($10), adds five new maps, four character skins and "Re-up," the
Gears version of
Call of Duty's "Prestige." Here, it allows players to rank through level 100 multiple times for "exclusive emblems and weapon skins."
The Re-up can be done three times to unlock the following weapon skins:
- Re-Up Plasma – Animated flowing plasma in gold.
- Re-Up Omen – Shiny, red Omen.
- Re-Up Electric – Animated, golden electric shocks.
"Fenix Rising" is the third of four packs bundled with the
$30 Gears Season Pass. The "
underdeveloped" campaign DLC,
RAAM's Shadow, was the most recent release, coming after the co-op focused "
Horde Command Pack."

As long as all the xp I already have carries over, I don't care. guessing a mate of mine would probably get all three prestige's straight off the bat should that be the case.
BUt what are the Maps dammit, Fenix rising first thing comes to mind is Escalation, A reamke of Escalation would be great:)

If you wanna put this in the main article I'll delete it (or a mod merge it either way)

Microsoft has released details of the third batch of DLC for Epic's manly man-shooter, Gears of War 3. Called Fenix Rising, it features new maps, new character skins and a new XP system.
There are five new maps included in the pack, each of which draws from the history of the series. Academy is set in the military school Marcus was destined to attend, but defied tradition by skipping. Anvil takes place in the destroyed fortress of Anvegad, while Depths is where Marcus' dad, Adam Fenix, was held captive.
Meanwhile, Escalation takes place in and around the Fenix household and The Slab is the prison that Dom broke Marcus out of way back in Gears 1. All five of the maps are playable across Versus Multiplayer, Horde and Beast Mode.
The skins on offer are spread across COG and Locust designs. The pack offers up Recruit Clayton, Thrashball Cole, Savage Marauder and Savage Kantus character models.
Perhaps of most interest to the ultra-hardcore, however, is the new levelling system. This allows players to effectively "Prestige" once they hit level 100. Chose to do this and your experience and rank will be reset and your rank icon colour will change. This is possible up to three times, moving from Bronze to Red, Green and then Gold.
Furthermore, each Prestige level (Epic are calling it "Re-up") after Bronze also awards the player an exclusive, custom weapon skin. These are:
Re-Up Plasma – Animated flowing plasma in gold.
Re-Up Omen – Shiny, red Omen.
Re-Up Electric – Animated, golden electric shocks.
Out on Jan 17th, the Marcus Rising pack will set you back 800 MSP. Owners of the Season Pass get it for free.

I called escalation and its back fuck yes, one of the best maps from GoW1 now bring back Raven Down and we will be set:)
Though also pissed that Thrashball cole is now available via this, it was one of the few items Beta testers should have exclusive access to.
