Gears Of War 2 Dark Corners 7 New Maps Preview!

I think I could listen to Cliff Bleszinski talk about Gears of War all the time he freaking makes everything sound exciting, I mean imagine have him in meetings! He would come up with a way to reinvent my excel spreadsheet into a chainsaw or something……Anyway here is the Video:

Anyway though well the new Gears of War 2 Dark Corners download pack is coming out a week from today, and it looks to be fully loaded with goodies! First off is  “Road to Ruin,” the Gears 2 deleted chapter included with Dark Corners. Fergusson is always quick to point that this is supposed to be seen as a bonus to go along with all the map packs not just a rehash to make you buy something they cut out of the original game! Her is the interview:

A few quick notes on the seven new multiplayer maps in the Dark Corners pack:

• Allfathers Garden: Don’t get caught up in the beauty—the sacred grounds of the Coalition founders can be a tremendously deadly place. Powerful weapons catalyze fast and furious action at this COG landmark.
• Memorial: It’s all about the heavy weaponry in Memorial, set near the Eternal Flame at the Tomb of the Unknowns. Take a moment to remember your fallen comrades before using your flanking and evasive skills to take control of the Boomshot and the battle.
• Sanctuary: Tight paths, blind corners, and an arsenal of weapons—the Locust-ravaged temple in Sanctuary is no longer the haven of reflection and remembrance it once was.
• War Machine: In this abandoned train station, players need to master the Longshot, Mulcher, and Boomshot to advance the fight while evading fire from the platforms above.
• Highway: Take the fight deep into the Locust Hollow in the complex passages of this underground highway system. Stick together, separate the enemy, and have an exit strategy ready, or it’ll be a one-way trip.
• Way Station: In the limbo between death and “processing,” you’ll find Locust way stations like this one, filled with COG soldiers. Tread lightly and practice patience—it’s best to sacrifice firepower for stealth while navigating this minefield of hidden grenades.
• Nowhere: Set in the middle of the desert, Nowhere is exactly how it sounds: barren and devoid of life. The open air and long lines of sight prove useful for Longshot devotees, but expect some fierce, close combat in the stairwell.

The map pack can be purchased for 1200 points from Xbox live or if you do not have any of the other dowloaded maps you can get all the maps for 1600 points! Enjoy here are some more screens!
