New 'Gears of War' maps launch today
Fans of the multi-million selling hit Gears of War can now add to the game after publisher Microsoft announced it has released four new multiplayer maps this morning.

The Hidden Fronts Multiplayer Map Pack, which is available in exchange for 800 Microsoft points, can be downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace, though gamers prepared to wait until September 3 will be able to download the maps for free.

Microsoft's descriptions of the new areas, which include Bullet Marsh, Garden, Process and Subway, are listed below:-

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.
