Gears of War 2 vil ingen ende tage; Epic har planer om en stor update der lander den 28'ende juli med navnet Gears of War 2: All Fronts. Updaten indeholder ikke bare lidt multiplayer baner, men også alle de foregående mappacks og et helt nyt singleplayer kapitel!

Singleplayer kapitlet, Road to Ruin, er et kapitel som i første omgang ikke kom med i den originale historie, men mener Epic at fansene er klar til at hoppe med Marcus og Dom ned i Locust Hollow. Du har frit valg til at enten klare banen ved at skyde dig igennem modstanden, eller du kan som noget helt nyt prøve at snige dig ubemærket forbi modstanderne som en ninja.

Foruden de foregående multiplayer mappacks (Flashback, Combustible og Snowblind), vil du også finde hele 7 nye multiplayer maps, hvor nogle af dem er gamle kendinge fra Gears of War 1:

(Advarsel: Copy/Paste!)

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.

Updaten er så stor at den ikke vil blive tilgængelig på Xbox Live, men du skal derimod slagte sparegrisen og ned i butikken og købe en helt ny disc. Prisen er endnu uvidst, men det er ikke utænkeligt at den kommer til at koste det samme som et helt nyt spil.

Hvad siger du til sådan en størrelse?

Opdatering:

Hvis man allerede har købt alle de andre mappacks, så behøver man ikke skulle ned i butikken og købe denne ekstra disk. De 7 nye multiplayer maps og single-player kapitlet vil også blive released som DLC under navnet The Dark Corners. Prisen er 1600 og den vil også være at finde på Markedspladsen den 28'ende juli!
