Alright, 4 new Gears of War maps come out on Thursday if you didn't know. Gamespot should break the story pretty soon. They will cost 800 points, or 10 dollars, and will be free in September. Will you be waiting for them to be free, or buying them right off bat?

 

I probably will end up buying the maps, since this is basically the only game for the 360 that I play right now, and I got til this fall until any real good games come out (that's if Mass Effect comes out in September.) So, I figure this will give me a few more hours of enjoyment.

 What do you think?

I won't be. I can wait until September when they are free. Maps are kind of a silly thing to spend money on for a game that you paid for already.

[side thought] Why hasnt' the Call of Duty 2 map packs become free yet or any other maps that have been on the marketplace for awhile? PC gamers, do you have the option of downloading the same Call of Duty 2 maps that cost money on marketplace? Do you get them for free? I remember free stuff while I was a PC gamer.

I dont think I would have downloaded them if they were free or download them when they are free cause that game is so boring online. Ok I gatta admit it was fun for the first 3 weeks I bought the game but after that it just got boring. If you take away the graphics then you really got a horrible online game. I enjoyed the single player but the online is just plain boring and is nothing specail.

you should try playing as  a squad with ppl who actually talk, it adds a whole new level of play to the game, i agree if you just shotgun as a loner the whole time it sucks, but luring people into traps is just hilarious

Maybe, my 360 is gone for repairs so by the time I get it back I might not even want to play Gears anymore.

This ought to change a mind or two :D

 

Bullet Marsh

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

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 

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

Subway 

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

Microsoft are cheap thats why. If not for epics being so determined, these were going to be 400 points each. Count your blessings :lol:

Maybe, but I'm not sure. I gotta see the maps if they look really good I'll be very tempted to buy. I was able to hold out on Halo 2's map though, but september is a long time away.

I have better things to do with my money.  All this paying for downloadable content is BS.  Everyone just wants to make as much extra money as possible.  I don't have a problem paying for arcade games if the prices are reasonable, but I refuse to pay for in-game crap horse armor and maps.

If you like to waste your money, that's fine by me, but when you grow up, go through puberty, and get your own job, you might not want to waste money on things like map packs for a game you already paid for.  Just because I saved up to buy a 360 doesn't mean that I like to waste my money.  The issue is not just about the price, it is about the whole system of selling downloadable content/consumables.  The more you pay, the more ways they will find to charge you for things.  You may not think that you are paying a lot right now, but think about it...  If you buy 6 downloadbles at 800 points each, you could have bought a whole new game.
