The scheduled Horde Command Pack release for Gears of War 3 is temporarily delayed due to a technical issue. We apologize to those of you who are anxiously awaiting to play.

We have folks working around the clock to resolve this issue ASAP so you can all play and enjoy the Command Pack.

The Horde Command Pack is set to feature 3 new maps, 4 new fortification upgrades for Horde mode, 3 new characters and 2 new weapon skins.
It seems that DLC delays are all the rage these days, perhaps as DLC becomes more and more complicated and not just "maps." Recently Space Marine on the Xbox 360 suffered a similar delay for it's Exterminatus DLC.
Update: Epic's VP Mark Rein tweeted that the content should now be live! Glad they got that technical issue solved quickly.
