Gaming News - January 2007
Redmond, WA (January 8, 2007) - Microsoft today announced the
upcoming release of a new map pack for Gears of War.
From Microsoft:
New downloadable content for the Xbox 360 exclusive “Gears of War", rated M
for Mature, is on the way. Sponsored by the Discovery Channel and available for
free via Xbox Live Marketplace, the new content will be available for download
beginning on Wednesday, Jan. 10.
By now most of the current maps have been memorized, analyzed and brutalized,
but this map pack will feature two new maps including one where players fight
around a downed King Raven helicopter.
Below, please find descriptions of the new maps:
- Raven Down: A Raven Helicopter has gone down in the middle of a large
scale battle with the omnipresent Locust Horde. Gears have taken out the
Seeder and gamers join Delta Forces moving into the crash site from all angles
to search for survivors.
- Old Bones: In an attempt to eradicate any traces of human history and
culture, the Locust Horde has emerged under Sera’s Capitaline Museums and has
begun to destroy them brick by brick. Each gamer’s mission is to help the
Delta Force recapture the museums before all remnants of humankind’s existence
are obliterated.
- Additionally, in celebration of the Jan. 15 season premier of its popular
“Future Weapons” series that explores the latest, most advanced and terrifying
weapons technology that will dominate battlefields in the 21st century,
Discovery Channel will be giving away an unprecedented 2 million Microsoft
