Every new copy of the Gears of War 2 game includes a code that you can use to download updated versions of five favorite maps from the first game. These bonus maps are available through Xbox Live, and they’re compatible with each and every Gears of War 2 multiplayer game type. The weapons placements have changed, and each of the maps has been given a very different look. But the geography of the levels is the same as their original counterparts.
As noted in the Multiplayer Warfare chapter, gold versions of the Lancer (only in the Limited Edition of the game) and Hammerburst (accessed from a token given at Midnight Madness events on launch day) are also available.
