New Gears of War Maps Coming Thursday

Out of no where comes the announcement of four new maps for Gears coming this Thursday.� The maps are priced at 800 MS points ($10), but will become free downloads starting September 3rd.� The new maps include:

• 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 – Teams must 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.

Compared to the last map pack, which was rather dull, these new maps sound really exciting.���Especially if they offer more environmental threats, which many of the default maps were lacking, this could wind up being a really worthwhile download.�
