Gears of War 3's take on Gridlock looks spooky
Rounding out the multiplayer maps in Gears of War 3 is Gridlock, because of course it is. I have not-so-fond memories of rushing forward and immediately dying in the Gears 1 version of the map. Good times. In total, we're looking at a decent line-up: Checkout, Drydock, Gridlock, Hotel, Mercy, Old Town, Overpass, Sandbar, Thrashball, and Trenches -- all playable in Versus multiplayer, Beast mode, and Horde mode. Attached is a gallery full of large images. I lost some of my sanity getting these uploaded, so please take a look. Did you know?

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)The chaos of the multiplayer action against the stark backdrop of the environment certainly excites my groinal area. The game is certainly making itself out to be a fine entry and should garner some "Game of the Year" accolades Only 10 maps? That seems a little weak. I mean, they're saving back for DLC, duh, but 10 is a little stingy, I think. Especially when you realize that some of them will invariably suck. *cough* Trenches *cough* Anyway, know what old map (other than Mansion) I would like back? Fuckin' Clocktower. Boltok battlin' in Execution mode, son. With the classic pick-ups: Boltok, grenades, Boomshot and Longshot on dedicated servers? Gimme dat. Please don't release a fuckton of DLC maps. The majority of which never receive exposure during matchmaking. Put out a a few maps at a time at about <5 bucks and more people will buy it. 12:45 PM on 05.10.2013 Gears of War: Judgment gets another free map next weekWhile it would have been nice for Gears of War: Judgment to come out of the gate with more content, the fact that some of the post-release DLC is free helps reduce the sting.
