Free Map Pack for Gears of War

This information may be of interest for the Gears of War players reading this blog, because it deals with another piece of free content: indeed, from September 3 (Monday will be here fast, no worries), the Hidden Fronts Maps Pack will be available as a free download, Microsoft has announced.

The pack will include the maps ‘Bullet Marsh’, ‘Garden’, ‘Process’ and ‘Subway’, each with its own little backstory:

Bullet Marsh
In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.

Garden
This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.

Process
Fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.

Subway
Timgad ’s Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.

So don’t buy anything yet–wait for Monday!
