Epic launches 'Gears Of War 2' DLC

Epic has launched downloadable content (DLC) featuring three new multiplayer maps for Gears Of War 2.

The Combustible Map Pack, which was unveiled last night at the Spike TV VGAs, will cost 800 Microsoft Points (£6.80) from Xbox Live.

It includes three new multiplayer maps - Flood, Gold Rush and Fuel Station.

Flood involves the environmental hazard Imulsion creeping in on the edges of the playing field to narrow the fighting area and intensify the combat.

Gold Rush is staged in an old Imulsion refinery where players have to dash through crossfire to infiltrate and assault a factory.

Finally, Fuel Station is set in a barren location where each team must try to secure and then defend the fossil fuel station to win the game.

Epic also revealed that the new maps will all be useable with the game's Horde mode.
