Gears 2 To Include Five Original GoW Maps As Free DLC
Posted by x3sphere at October 2, 2008, 3:52 pm
The hotly anticipated Xbox 360 exclusive Gears of War 2 will ship with a voucher valid for downloading five multiplayer maps from the original Gears, according to a GamePro magazine interview with Epic design director Cliff Bleszinski. The map redux pack includes fan-favorites Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion, and Tyro Station. No word on if the maps will feature any sort of upgrades in the visual department.
The voucher can be used one time only and will be included all new copies of the title, whether you pre-ordered or not. That means those who go for a used copy will be out of luck.
Thanks krazyking for the tip!

I wasn't a big fan of GOW. I got it played and it gave me a headache due to the comic book like graphics. Hopefully they reduce the background detail a bit so its easier to see and less prone to free headaches.
PS if any one is looking for a copy of GOW1 give me a shout, Its just collecting dust due to the headaches, I'm sure we could work something out. . .
(my eyes are super sensitive Im sure 90% of people won't get headaches like I did)
