New Thread as the old one had crept over the 1000 Post mark.

Previous Thread here (http://forums.thedigitalfix.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=547378).

Still a lot of interest in this game and with regular XP Events most folk are hitting Level 100 and gaining their Wings.

So will keep updating this Thread from now until the release of Gears Of War 3 in late 2011.

Here is the info for the 4 Downloadable Map Packs. Think they are all 800 Points each except the Flashback Pack. But you can get ALL the Map Packs included in the All Fronts Collection for 800 Points now anyway!!!

Flashback Multiplayer Map Pack - Redeemable via coupon for FREE.

As a special thanks to the fans, we’ve updated five popular maps from Gears of War—Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion, and Tyro Station—and made them available to download. This map pack is also available for free with an Xbox LIVE redemption code included in new copies of Gears of War 2.

Combustable Multiplayer Map Pack

Explosive action takes center stage in these three new Gears 2 multiplayer maps: Flood, Gold Rush, and Fuel Station. Flood features a rising flow of Imulsion that drives the fight into close quarters. Infiltrate an Imulsion factory in Gold Rush, where multiple levels and volatile materials guarantee memorable encounters. Fuel Station delivers a dangerous battle around an abandoned refueling facility.

Snowblind Multiplayer Map Pack

This winter-themed pack brings you four Gears of War 2 maps sure to heat up your multiplayer and Horde action. Hunt your enemies down in the snowy day-lit heights or the dark tunnels of Under Hill. The massive industrial complex of Grind Yard gives numerous bunkers for cover, but watch out for snipers high in the flanking buildings. Beware the falling monuments in Courtyard, where wide-open spaces give you plenty of opportunities to gun down your enemies—unless they strike first. And due to fan demand, the popular Gears 1 map Fuel Depot makes its return.

Dark Corners Multiplayer Map Pack

This downloadable content pack features 7 new Gears 2 multiplayer maps and a bonus deleted single-player chapter, "Road to Ruin," from the Gears of War 2 campaign. In "Road to Ruin," Marcus and Dom navigate the treacherous Locust highway, choosing stealth or blazing action to survive. For multiplayer fans, the 7 maps include a new War Machine, the much-requested Gears 1 map. Allfathers Garden, a heavy-weapons battle at a COG landmark. Highway, a fight deep in the Locust Hollow. Memorial, a battle at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Nowhere, a firefight in an old motel. Way Station, an unpredictable battlefield with parallel paths and Sanctuary, a reimagined favorite from Gears for Windows.

All of the above Multiplayer Maps are in the All Fronts Collection - 800 Points! (OFFER PRICE!!!)

This content pack features all 19 downloadable Gears 2 multiplayer maps and a bonus deleted single-player chapter, "Road to Ruin," from the Gears of War 2 campaign. For multiplayer fans, this pack brings together the complete set of Gears 2 multiplayer maps: Allfathers Garden, Canals, Courtyard, Flood, Fuel Depot, Fuel Station, Gold Rush, Gridlock, Grind Yard, Highway, Mansion, Memorial, Nowhere, Sanctuary, Subway, Tyro Station, Under Hill, War Machine, and Way Station — everything in the Flashback, Combustible, Snowblind, and Dark Corners downloadable packs combined.

Cheers. :)

Shouldn't someone have to actually own the game before starting a thread about it? Especially a game that's two years old.
