Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to beat the Gears of War 3 campaign on Insane difficulty by December 25th. If you succeed, you'll be awarded the "exclusive Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocoal Weapon Skin Pack," which includes five extra weapons skins: a "Ghost Protocol" Lancer, Hammerburst, Retro Lancer, Gnasher Shotgun, and Sawed-off Shotgun.

If it wasn't obvious, this free DLC giveaway is part of a promo for the new Mission: Impossible movie.

Starting tomorrow, Xbox Live will feature the "Ghost Protocaol experience," which includes a giveaway. You can win a custom slim Xbox 360, Kinect, 50" HDTV, 5.1 home theater system, and the Mission: Impossible series on DVD. To enter, just watch the trailer on the Xbox 360 dashboard.

The Gears 3 bonuses will be reserved only for gamers that can beat the Insane campaign, in either single or multiplayer. If you've already completed the campaign on Insane, you'll automatically receive the weapon skin pack by the end of the year.

        Wouldn't it have been hilarious to be able to unlock some weapons that seem completely pedestrian in the Gears universe? For instance, a Glock, or maybe an MP5 with a silencer on it!

        Weapons are pretty tightly balanced in Gears 3 (queue crying about the sawed-off), so they cant just add weapons to the mix like COD or BF.

      Protocoal? Is that like the original coal? The coal from whence coal as we know it sprang forth?

        Now a baguette weapon skin pack would be cool, no one could tell what you had equipped. Nice one, can't wait.
