Reminder: Gears of War Hidden Fronts Map Pack Now FREE

Gears of War Screen

Just a friendly reminder that you can now download the Hidden Fronts map pack for Gears of War on the Xbox 360 for free. That’s right, FREE. Previously costing 800 MS Points, the now free pack consists of four 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: 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.

These maps are needed for the extra 250 achievement points in the game. So now you don’t have to pay for that extra gamerscore. I grabbed them yesterday, but I’m too engrossed by BioShock to take the game out of the tray.

    Are these maps playable offline or online only?

    That’s a good question. I guess I’ll have to fire up gears and find out for you :)

    Anidor- I deff. agree with you considering we both spent 800 MSP on it, just like half the world did considering how good it is. I’ve played and enjoyed all four of the maps. I would deff. recomend this to anyone who has gears, that and it’s free.
