Rumor: Leaked Gears of War 2 Screenshots Show New Map

3
A new batch of screenshots have appeared for Epic's Gears of War 2 (360), showing an unreleased multiplayer map covered in Imulsion, the energy-filled natural resource central to the shooter's backstory.

The screenshots reproduced above appeared on the Flickr page of user yourichurkoff and are generally believed to be legitimate. Two multiplayer modes, King of the Hill and Guardian, can be seen in action on the map.

The screenshots have sparked speculation that the map is downloadable content set to be released in the future.

Microsoft has not commented on the screenshots. However, as the original game offered DLC multiplayer maps, and the sequel was part of a new generation of games to ship with DLC in the box, downloadable expansions to Gears of War 2 are expected.

      What is sad is that they can get away with this now.

      UT99 / UT2003/ UT2004 had tons of maps each and they released multiple packs including multiple maps for free. Now they release games with 5 maps, and you have to pay $5-10 for a few more.

        Because those games had a single player component that took as many resources and time...

        In their defence it take a lot more time to model and texture and script levels/maps these days. Cost of creating content went through the roof this generation.
