Free download: GoW’s Hidden Fronts map pack on September 3

It looks as if Epic Games really wants to thank the many people who’ve made Gears of War the megahit game that it is. We’ve just received word that Epic Games will be making the Hidden Fronts Map Pack available for free download beginning September 3, 2007.

Beginning September 3, 2007, at 2:00 a.m. PDT, gamers will be pleased to know that the Hidden Fronts Map Pack will be joining the Annex gametype and Multiplayer Map Pack 1 as part of the free downloadables for Gears of War. Here are the maps you’ll be getting in the Hidden Fronts Map Pack:

• 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.

It’s certainly something we’re looking forward to, mostly because we like free swag. In any case, we’ll keep you posted on the latest developments happening in the Gears of War world as it happens. Till then, keep checking QJ for your daily dose of updates.
