Gears of War sells 4 million copies worldwide! Free Hidden Fronts map pack on Xbox Live from today
Gears of War has sold more than 4 million copies worldwide, and continues to hold the title of most popular Xbox 360 game on Xbox Live. The FPS game recorded the most number of unique players among all Xbox 360 games in August 2007, as well as the highest cumulative number of hours played by Xbox Live members.
Back in May, Gears of War on Xbox 360 received a $10 new map pack titled “Hidden Fronts” and since then it has been downloaded by half a million people! Starting today the four maps will be available worldwide for free! Check ‘em out in the videos added below. Get ready to enhance your Gears of War multiplayer experience.
The four new multiplayer maps are:
1. Bullet Marsh: In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.
2. Garden: This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.
3. Process: Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.
4. Subway: Timgad’s Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.
