Gears of War Free Maps 1/10/2006

Microsoft has announced that Epic will kick out 2 new free maps for download this week on January 10th.

Much to the surprise of 2old2play, the new content will be completely free for download and will consist of 2 maps called Raven Down and Old Bones as well as a video hosted by Cliff B (yippy?). Raven Down will center around a Raven Helicopter crash in the middle of bombed out city streets. From the looks of the screenshots, the ruble will provide a ton of extra cover.

Old Bones is set inside what appears to be an old museum and takes on a much darker tone then Raven Down. The middle of the map looks as though it will sport some nice battles around the giant statue.

The map pack is sponsored by the Discovery Channel (huh?) and they will also be giving away two million Microsoft points as part of the promo. Points will be given out in 400 points increments via www.readyaimfire.com from January 13th-15th.
