The Gears of War Map Pack, "Hidden Fronts" will be free to download on September 3rd. The pack originally cost 800 Points ($10) and includes four different maps.

Remember some people were bitching about having to pay $10 for four maps when the Hidden Fronts Map Pack was released? And then they said they will just wait until September when it’ll be free? Well now they can join in on the action, because the Hidden Fronts Map Pack will be free to download as of September 3rd. With almost 500,000 downloads so far, Hidden Fronts has become the number one selling piece of premium content over the Xbox Live Marketplace. Four maps are included in the pack, and are described by Microsoft as follows:

“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.”

RRRAAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! *saws Locust in half*
