Welcome to Hidden Fronts, we'll be your guide

TeamXbox received some celebrity treatment the other day when they got some hands on time with Gears of War's latest multiplayer maps from the Hidden Fronts map pack. And it's safe to say they were impressed. The guys played in Microsoft's test lab against a few mysterious game testers, getting a feel for the maps, and getting pwned in the process. A quick recap of their impressions are as follows; Garden features dense vegetation and green clouds of pesticide that'll kill you, but can be shut off via a control panel. Bullet Marsh is dark, very dark, and if the generator is turned off the map will get even darker and the Kryll will attack to kill. Process is chalk full of vertical elevation shifts, catwalks, and pipes ... a long distance killing machine's dream. Finally, Subway features multiple levels of fun, empty subway cars, beautiful rays of light, and dirty floors. Make the jump for TeamXbox's full impressions and be sure to check out GoW's Hidden Fronts map pack, available tomorrow for 800 Microsoft points.

hmm ten dollars to play four new maps or ten dollars to play with my car. yeah I'll go with my car. I can wait until September.

10 dollars to play with your car? That must be a pretty shitty car you got there...haha, I kid I kid.
Anyways.....I will be paying for it.
I see it as Epic is still making content for a game that's been out for months, if they ask us to pay for it, then that's fine....hell, I play with my wife on our 360....that's 20 dollars for the both of us.
I can't wait for tomorrow night!

If the release is 9 A.M. GMT then what time is it released in New York?
It is daylight savings time if that affects anything.
