Recently, Epic released the much anticipated DLC map and chapter add-on to the best selling game Gears of War 2. The content includes 7 new maps and a new deleted chapter for 1200 points. Released at the same time, is a combination DLC content that includes all the maps ever released for GOW2 for 1600 points. While the new chapter is rather short, it offers players two distinct play styles to fit all players. One route is the “take it to the house” approach and go in guns blazin. The second is a stealth approach to sneak past the guards and avoid engagement. And a flashback character from Gears 1 can be found to help with the final engagements. The mutliplayer maps allow for more tactics on both close-quarters and sniper gameplays. It also provides an additional 500 gamerpoints for Horde and Deathmatches. All in all, many more hours of co-op gameplay can be had for all.
I’m glad I waited to download all the maps at once. The “Road to Ruin” chapter was a bit of a let down, but I’ve had a blast with you guys in Horde mode gunning for the achievements.
