With Gears of War 2 releasing and their Flashback Map Pack being included with the purchase of a brand new game, the question arises of how well they will play. Well, screenshots were shown of the levels, six months aged from the original Gears of War, and man, are they beautiful. After the jump it shows gameplay of the newly designed levels and how they play against a group of people, and quite frankly, they look to be as good as ever.

Tomorrow, one of the most anticipated titles of the year ships with a sizable bonus regardless of which version you pick up. On top of the ten included multiplayer maps in Gears of War 2, Epic Games has included a download code within each new copy of the game to download five additional maps. Taken from the original Gears of War, the Flashback Map Pack not only adds a dose of nostalgia to the Gears of War 2 multiplayer experience but it keeps the action fresh with new designs for each of the maps in the pack.

The waters of Canals have been frozen, Gridlock has been taken over by lush vegetation, Tyro Station seems to have had an upgrade in tech, Mansion appears more abandoned than ever before and Subway had dried up and now rains pieces of ash from the ongoing war.
