On 3/31/2009, Microsoft released a second pricey ($10) add-on for Gears of War 2: the Snowblind Map Pack. It includes three brand-new maps: Grind Yard, Under Hill, and Courtyard. The fourth map is Fuel Depot, a reworked map from the original Gears of War.

On 12/15/2008, the Combustible Map Pack for Gears of War 2 was released, and includes three new maps: Flood, Gold Rush, and Fuel Station. The $10 price point, however, seems a bit steep for so little content.

Gears of War 2 movie preview
Ok this is like a preview of what i'm working on. Now keep in mind that the actual movie is going to be much better quality than this. It will have much better picture and sound.
