New Gears of War content “All Front” coming soon
May 7, 2009 by srfto
Epics Gears of War 2 has been a phenomenal success. They’ve recently announced sales have reached 5 million copies worldwide. They aren’t prepared to settle and rest on their laurels though, instead they’ve decided to add a fantastic new compilation titled “All Fronts” which retails at $19.99 (£14.99/€19.99 for our European brothers). This expansion contains all of the recently released DLC maps (Combustible, Flashback and Snowblind) plus an additional 7 new maps and the deleted chapter “Road to Ruin”.
In Road to Ruin, Marcus and Dominic join up again to purge more Locusts from the Hollow. Interestingly, the press release for this scenario mentions two ways to play it. Either in guns blazing mode or a new mode called Stealth. We can’t wait.
The retail package have a few extra treats for the avid fan. It comes with a custom Live theme, strategy guide, poster and a video from Cliff Bleszinski. The Dark Corners content is also available on xbox live for 20 USD.
Here are the official map descriptions from Epic:
* Allfathers Garden: Honor the sacred grounds of the Coalition founders in this explosive map, where powerful weapons catalyze fast and furious action at this COG landmark.
* Memorial: Set near the Eternal Flame, which pays tribute to the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, a hard-fought battle ensues at the Tomb of Unknowns. Putting their flank formation and evasive skills to the test, players will fight to control the Boomshot.
* Sanctuary: Once a peaceful ground for reflection and remembrance, all that remains of the Sanctuary is the chill of death. Feast your eyes on the arsenal of weapons available as you make your way through the tight paths and blind corners of the Locust-damaged temple corridors.
* War Machine: In the abandoned train station that once served as a hub for travel, players will need to master the Longshot, Mulcher and Boomshot weapons to advance the fight while evading fire from the platforms above.
* Highway: Take the fight deep into the Locust Hollow in the complex passages of this underground highway system brimming with enemy vermin. Stick together, separate the enemy and have an exit strategy ready or it’ll be a one-way trip.
* Way Station: Sitting in limbo between death and “processing” are Locust way stations filled with fallen COG soldiers. Tread lightly and practice patience as it’s better to sacrifice firepower for stealth while navigating this minefield of hidden grenades.
* Nowhere: Set in the middle of what was once a destination for weary desert travellers, the land is now barren and devoid of life. Pick off your enemies with the Longshot sniper rifle and make your way to the stairwell with a well-fortified team during this intense firefight.
