Gears of War: Hidden Fronts Map Pack Free After Labor Day
Remember that map pack that came out a short while ago for Gears of War that was going to become free after a few weeks? Well wait no longer...at least until Labor Day. The Hidden Fronts map pack will be available for download soon and you can bet I'll be downloading it. It's free, so why not? More online game time with my friends in a new environment or two! Here are the new maps:
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.
Well have fun, with those. I'm in lovely Birmingham with the b/f and friends for good times and games. Game on and have a good weekend and don't wear white after Labor Day! Full details, after the jump.
