    Bought the season pass today for gears of war, and started up the game. Is there supposed to be some sort of splash screen with a prompt to download the command pack? I know it was delayed, but its due out today after epic said they fixed the problem. It's annoying because I really wanna play the new maps in horde :(

    Anyone got a solution? I tried re-downloading but it didn't make a difference.

    I bought the season pass too and when I loaded the game up yesterday there was a notice on screen saying the command pack was available. Couldnt miss it.

    Try checking if the maps showing in Horde when you set up a private match. If they arent there then I would call Xbox Support.

    Seems like youre not the only one with this problem:

    1. Delete ALL Gears 3 related DLC from Hard drive. (Don't worry you can redownload it later)
    2. Move all profiles OFF the hard drive onto a USB EXCEPT the profile that owns the SEASON PASS
    3. CLEAR the system cache and reboot the xbox, take USB with all other profiles out.
    4. Restart xbox and gears of war 3 , log into profile.
    5. From gears of war marketplace menu , download season pass again. At this point it should ask you to download NEW DLC.
    6. Provided that went smoothly you can re-download all other DLC from download history and it should all be working again.

    NOW IT SHOULD BE NOTED. I make no claims this will work for everyone just that it helped me, and I'm not even sure you need to do all steps. I just wanted a clean as possible hard drive so I could narrow down where the bad egg DLC was. The conclusion is EPIC is the bad egg.
