There is a new Gears of War Map pack out tomorrow, Thursday 05/03/07
This map Pack will cost 800 Microsoft Points(US $10) and will be free after September 3.
There will be 4 maps, some of them with ‘Interactive’ elements, such as Bullet Marsh, where you can shoot out the generator that is powering the lights, and have swarms of Kryll attack anyone unfortunate enough to be in the unlit area, or the Garden map, where pesticides are released in the greenhouse, which will kill anyone in there at the given time.
Garden: The garden map will be set in an abandoned conservatory that is filled with plants. There is one twist, however. The greenhouse will have periodic releases of pesticides from the still-working pesticide system.
Bullet Marsh: This map is set in a Kryll infested swamp, with a generator that powers the lights. Players can shoot the generator, turning off the lights leaving anyone that is not in a lit area to fend for themselves against the bloodthirsty Kryll.
Process: This is set in a still active Imulsion processing plant, which will hopefully have some interactive features, for instance being able to run into a turbine and get all chopped up. I’ll be having good dreams tonight.
Subway: Not much is known about this map either, except that it is (obviously) set in a Subway crawling in locust. No news on interactive features on this map either. if there is something, it will probably be similar to the train in that one map.
Tomorrow will be a gruelingly slow and painful day at school, waiting and waiting to go home, only to wait a couple more hours to download the maps off of the painfully slow servers.
