With nearly 500,000 downloads to date, the Gears of War Hidden Fronts Map Pack has become the No. 1 piece of premium downloadable content on the Xbox Live Marketplace. From Monday 3rd September 10.00 UK, the Hidden Fronts Map Pack will join the Annex gametype and Multiplayer Map Pack 1 as another piece of free downloadable content for Gears of War.
Gears of War has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide, and continues to hold the title of most popular Xbox 360 game on Xbox Live, as Gears of War recorded the most number of unique players among all Xbox 360 games in August 2007, as well as the highest cumulative number of hours played by Xbox Live members.
In the Hidden Fronts Map Pack, players can clash for control of four dynamic areas, including Bullet Marsh, Garden, Process, and Subway:
- 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.
The Hidden Fronts Map Pack is available worldwide.
