More Gears of War 3 DLC: Versus Booster Map Pack Announced

Hot on the heels of the ‘Horde Command Pack’ for Gears of War 3, which was delayed yesterday and released onto the Xbox Live Marketplace today, Epic has announced another piece of downloadable goodness for the game in the form of the ‘Versus Booster Map Pack’.  The add-on, available for free download on the 24th of November, contains five new maps available in public matchmaking playlists – two favorite maps from Gears of War (Swamp and Clocktower), as well as Azura, Rustlung and Blood Drive from the ‘Horde Command Pack’.


It’s clearly intended to be a nice little snack for those gamers who don’t want to fork out for the ‘Horde Command Pack’, but the inclusion of two maps from the original Gears of War is sure to be a popular choice for those who have fond memories of the first game in the series.  And there’s more DLC on the horizon: the 13th of December will see the release of an add-on to the main storyline of the game, entitled ‘RAAM’s Shadow’, which will add over three hours of gameplay and keep Gears fans happy until the new year rolls in.
