Were you one of the people that held out on purchasing the “Hidden Fronts” map pack for Gears of War back when it was released? There were not too many of you seeing as how over 500, 000 people have downloaded it, making it the best selling piece of downloadable content on XBLM. Well if you waited, this Monday is when your patience, or cheapness, will pay off because the map pack will become free.

Here are some brief details on each map to refresh your memory.

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.

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.

Process
Fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.

Subway
Timgad ’s Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.
