Marcus Fenix has led a troubled life. His childhood home was invaded by the Locust. He never got to go to school at the Academy, and ended up in prison after defying orders. Players will be most familiar with Marcus in his role as a long-serving COG soldier. Now, players can revisit all of the locations from key points in Marcus' life with the addition of the "Fenix Rising" DLC. The DLC adds seven more achievements worth a total of 250G.

I was excited reading this until I realized...it's just maps?

Thought it was story content.
Job & A Social Life, achievements most gamers refuse to earn...therefore, their ratios are high.

Good.

But I seriously hope the other DLC is not a simple mappack and actually brings something new.

Pay attention, Mr antisocial. There have been 12 articles on this already. You probably play Horde alone the same way you play DI alone :)

The only downside to having the Season Pass is that I can't do anything else while downloading these packs. It doesn't get added to your queue so you can go do other things on your console, you have to keep the window up or the download pauses until you do it again

Apparently re-upping won't allow you to unlock Seriously 3.0 until you reach level 100 again. Good thing I'm not even close to 3.0 yet, plenty of time to get my second lvl 100.

just to add for those who do not know it also adds new prestiges..3 but there are achievements only for the first 2.. each "re-up" will give you new wings each time with a different colour..red,green,gold..rank number will also change..red,green,blue..it also awards a weapon skin each time which can only be obtained by re-uping.

Just a heads up for those who care about wings. You lose your wings once you re-up and it displays a Green number until you hit the next 100.

Seems like Epic has given sufficient enough evidence for other publishers to not do a "season pass" style DLC. I have never purchased a season pass for another game before; is this many bugs typical?

Good thing I'm not even close to 3.0 yet, plenty of time to get my second lvl 100^ also that seems like something they definitely overlooked. Luckily I still have like 10,000 matches to play...

i had a feeling that re-upping will make you lose your progress for Seriously 3.0 due to the level 100 requirement. Good thing I unlocked seriously 3.0 last week!

It's a good thing I only have 3 Onyx medals anyways, the whole S3.0 thing doesn't bother me. By the time I get all my Onyx medals, I'll probably have my 2 re-ups already since I only plan to boost my 3000 game type plays and nemesis executions

:-( im starting to realize that the season pass was a bad investment since its been mostly map packs so far and the only way you get the play the maps is if you play them in private (since theres alot of people in public games that did not purchase them so the new maps are never chosen) or epic gives them away for free again
