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

The season pass is the most worthless one out of nearly any game I've seen. You get: -1 or 2 forgettable skins -a few random loot boxes -access to the new maps a week early in a 'developers playlist' which features only the new maps but only lasts 1 week before it's available to everyone. Also there are very limited game modes for that playlist. -access to all previously released maps in private matches, so unless you have lots of online friends it's really meaningless (not sure you get bounties from private horde or private matches, but I doubt it) Basically there are about 8 (guesstimate) maps in rotation in the matchmaking playlists. When new maps release they are first playable to season pass holders a week early in a dev playlist. Then the new maps fall into the normal 8 map rotation for all public games. 2 of the maps from the earlier rotation are now removed from public matchmaking and are only available to season pass holders in private games. [u]Yet, if you have a season pass holder friend invite you to their game you can play any of the maps with them privately even though you didn't buy the season pass[/u] So please please don't buy it. Such a waste of money. If you want more opinions go to the gears forums and you'll see everyone hating on the coalition for such a shitty season pass
