According to Gamepro, Epic will offer for free the Flashback map pack featuring five classic maps, enhanced for GoW 2: Canals, Gridlock, Mansion, Subway, and Tyro Station. This means that true fans will get a nostalgic feel and we’ll give Epic a thumbs up for this. The Flashback map pack will be released on November 7.
The trick is that this pack can be only downloaded with a voucher offered with new copies of the game – obviously, used versions won’t have the voucher and therefore there will be no Flashback map pack for you, since Epic announced that the company has no plans to release the free DLC as a paid downloadable content in the future. But these are just details – what matters most for us is that Gears of War 2 is coming packed with goodies and we can’t wait to get our hands on it!
