Not even one month after the release of Gears of War 2, EPIC Games has released the first map pack. The pack is being sold on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 800 Microsoft Point (Retail Amounting to 10$), and includes three never before seen maps. The maps included are "Gold Rush", "Fuel Station", and "Flood". Gold Rush is a vertical styled map with many different floors, with mostly "boom" weapons. The weapons include a Boomshot, Torque Bow, Mortar, Frag Grenades, and a Sniper Rifle. Fuel Station takes place at a gas station and it's surrounding area. The central station is the best defend-able area, with and elevator bringing players to the roof of the station. This map seems as if it were designed for Horde mode, and Guardian gametypes. The final map is known as Flood; this is because every-so-often, the map floods with immulsion, forcing players to dense into a small area without the flood, making for close quater combat. We will have a full review up for the map pack soon, telling you if it's a buy...or pass.
