Free New Gears Of War Download On Live!!!

New content coming online on either the 10th or 11th!

The first pack is free, and includes two new misions!

The first, Raven Down, takes place on the bombed out city streets surrounding the crash site of a Raven Helicopter. With densely clustered car wrecks and detritus providing ample cover points, the map sees Delta Force make their way in from multiple access points to search for survivors. The second, Old Bones, looks to take on an almost survival horror tone, with a majestic old museum as the setting. The Locust Horde want to take it apart, further eradicating any record of humanity off the face of Sera, while Delta Force, naturally, will do anything to stop that happening. Also in the pack, an introductory video hosted by Epic's CliffyB.

The content pack is sponsored by the Discovery Channel, and along with the release they're giving away two million Microsoft points (in 400 point increments) for use on Xbox Live Marketplace. The promotion will take place through www.readyaimfire.com, on January 13th, 14th and 15th (U.S. dates). Suprisingly enough the site hasn't gone live yet, but bear with it, there'll be info there soon. We hope.

Not sure when it's out for us.

Here are a few images of the new maps.

No doubt we'll have to use our US accounts to get any of those free points then.

Not that I have one of course.

Some new multiplayer maps would be nice.

It sounds to me like these are multiplayer maps, not single player missions...

Yeah, I thought they put a single-player spin to the descriptions too. Glad to hear they are MP maps.

Here is the list of fixes too, and a fantastic list it is. Other developers take note, free content and quick fixes, a happy camper makes.

• Fixed aspect ratio distortion when using VGA cable with 4:3 displays at resolutions higher than 640x480
• Fixed voice issue with new players joining Player Match games in progress
• Players can now get the Achievement for "Dish Best Served Cold" when using Troika turret to kill RAAM
• Fixed rare situation where host could loop countdown and never start match
• Fixed rare situation where players could get stuck after chainsawing in multiplayer
• Reduced Grenade Tag melee distance
• Enabled “Strict” NAT check on host to prevent possible connection issues
• Optimized server browser queries to return results more quickly and prevent scroll bars from hiding quality of service icons
• Reduced number of possible revives in Execution to match Warzone
• Removed host name from Ranked match server browser
• Disabled security cameras in Ranked matches
• Ranked matches now require balanced teams (3v3 or 4v4)
• Increased penalty for quitting a Ranked match to -50 points
• Added additional cheat detection code
• Additional housekeeping updates
