On May 3, Microsoft is releasing another multiplayer map pack for Gears of Wars. The Hidden Fronts multiplayer map pack costs 800 Microsoft Points ($10) or about $2.50 per map, if you want to get the extra maps only. On Sept 3, 2007 Microsoft will release the bonus maps to everyone for free.
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.
