The 4 Gears Of War maps that have clocked up just over 500,000 downloads on Xbox Live Marketplace are now available for free (what Epic originally wanted to do).

Here is a brief description for each level to those people who didnt download them for the fee:

• 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 combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.
  
  
• Garden
  This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.
  
  
• Process
  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.

Also a reminder that the PC version of Gears Of War is coming to Windows Vista this November with three new(er) multiplayer maps, a new(er) multiplayer game type, Game Editor, five new campaign chapters and DirectX 10 support.

Very cool. Nice one, DD. I'll be signing onto Xbox Live to download those sexy Gears of War bonus maps tomorrow. I particularly like the look of the Process map - reminds me of the part in the Gears of War campaign when you first get a hold of the Torque Bow.
