Gears of War 2 sells 5 million worldwide…leads to some new content…
Wow, these are some impressive numbers; what’s even more impressive is that the franchise as a whole has sold over 11 million altogether. it’s time for this juggernaut to start getting some DLC, and some it shall receive…wait, not DLC. Gears 2 is getting a complete overall with the Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection. This is a compilation that combines all the previous add-ons with brand new Multiplayer maps and new campaign missions. This will be available on retail shelves on July 28th for around $30.00. Check after the break for information on this package including descriptions on the new maps.
Not only does this include all the original DLC only available on the Xbox Live Marketplace, it also includes the “Dark Corners” add on which will include seven new multiplayer maps and a campaign chapter titled “Road to Ruin.” This will consist of Marcus and Dom returning to the locust once again, and can be played either with guns blazing or using an all-new stealth mode; pretty sure which way almost everybody will choose.
Description of the seven new maps are:
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.
By the way, don’t worry if you’ve already been collecting the new content, the “Dark Corners” game add-on will be available for $20 bucks (1,600 Microsoft Points) on the same day.
