Post Good Deals Please!

Pit Men,

Never leave a locust behind...remember these words as you are emerging from a locust hole. There will always be a locust hand there to help you out.

Having said that, we should "extend our hand" to one another by posting some good deals on the Pit. Additionally, if we are looking for specific items, post them here so we can keep a lookout.

Start posting deals today!

First one: Walmart Black Friday Ad is out. Follow the link for entire ad:

Gears of War - The Board Game


Apparently, there is a Gears board game out. (News to me) I have no idea how it plays, but I would not mind trying this out with other fellow Pit Men. See link for details:

RadicalReactor vs. Soldier of God!

RadicalReactor goes 1-on-1 against heavenly odds as a seemingly lackluster performance turns into a glorious opportunity when he runs into the all-time #12 ranked warzone player, Soldier of God! Watch to find out how our hero fulfills his destiny as he rushes into battle!

EDIT: Soldier of God is ranked 12th on all-time warzone, not 1st.

First look: Bullet Marsh and Clock Tower

sdI found this in the Epic Games forum today. Someone posted this image featuring two thumbnail sized screens of the upcoming free maps, Swamp and Clocktower.

The image also has a disclaimer which reads: If you did not purchase Horde Command Pack, Aura, Rustlung, and Blood Drive ARE NOT available in Horde, Beast, Privately hosted Versus matches.
