Gears of War 2-ownin’ Xbox LIVE Silver members are getting a special treat courtesy of Epic Games and Microsoft this weekend. According to the Gears 2 Web site, multiplayer is -- in a sense -- free for the weekend. Until 11:59 on August 3rd, Silver members can play Gears 2 multiplayer without having to upgrade to a Gold account.
Gold members should smell blood in the water. Think about the wonderful statistical-boosting opportunity Epic just handed you. Clueless folk are filling rooms as you’re reading this. One weekend isn’t enough to learn the nuance of the chainsaw battle or become familiar with sniper rifle or Hammer of Dawn spawn-points. It certainly isn’t long enough to learn all of the special hiding spots you may frequent on boring afternoons. Time to feed, guys.

You make it sound cheap... chances are you are going to end up paying more for live than for your 360.
btw its gonna be a noob fest =P
My point is, what kind of a weird 360 owner would sit round with a Silver subscription waiting for MS to serve up a free Gold gaming experience for the cost of a Big Mac a month?
Good point, i really doubt theres many people who will be able to take advantage of this.
LIVE is like those fancy bottled water. You happily pay $2.99 for one liter, while Gas is 2.39 a gallon. They are selling a basic service like a premium.
Personally i can only buy 4-5 games a year, i wont sacrifice a game for live. I like to think im not the only one. but after seeing live numbers maybe i am *sigh*
but u download form http:/www.mod db.com/
its work and u also download gl maps
