Gears of War Map Pack 1 online

Just a reminder that the first Gears of War Map Pack is now available for download on Xbox Live for free. The pack includes two new multiplayer maps called Raven Down and Old Bones. Descriptions of each map are below the jump. An update for Gears of War was also released yesterday and addressed issues related to voice communication, grenade tagging, and connections, among others.

Raven Down

A Raven Helicopter has gone down in the middle of a large scale battle with the omnipresent Locust Horde. Gears have taken out the Seeder and gamers join Delta Forces moving into the crash site from all angles to search for survivors.

Old Bones

In an attempt to eradicate any traces of human history and culture, the Locust Horde has emerged under Sera’s Capitaline Museums and has begun to destroy them brick by brick. Each gamer’s mission is to help the Delta Force recapture the museums before all remnants of humankind’s existence are obliterated.
