The following four Gears of War multi-player maps are available for download. According to Major "Larry" Nelson, they are:

• Bullet Marsh In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving players in the dark to fend for themselves against the hungry Kryll.
• Garden This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious health hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.
• Process Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum Wars.
• Subway Timgad's Central Subway Station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.

These will set you back 800 Microsoft Points (US $10), but if you are really patient, you can snag them for free on September 3rd. I'm patient. Are you? Gameplay clips after the jump. Brian Ashcraft
