The second DLC pack is a free download called the More guns Pack. The pack gives you seven new weapons that are for use in the Single Player Quick Mission mode. Check the video, screenshots and hit the jump for all the intel (see what I did there?!) on the new maps and the plot line.
All this for 800 Points is a bargain. Especially if you compare this to the fact that Halo 3's DLC cost the same and only came with just three new maps. In fact, this makes me a little mad that I spent the $10 for just three maps. In any case, thanks to Niero, I can never play any of the GRAW games now without thinking about bird noises ... GRAW! GRAW! GRAW!

CO-OP MAPS
New Co-op Campaign – Story: Manuel Suazo Azcona has emerged as the leader of a new rebel movement in El Salvador. Azcona's plan seems to be an attempt to destabilize the governments of both El Salvador and neighboring Honduras. Once their respective governments are weakened, he will incite the people to try and overthrow both countries' U.S.-backed leaders. The Ghosts are being sent in to quell this uprising before it starts. They must first stop the rebel incursions over the two nations' shared border and then hunt down the rebel leaders one by one. If they fail, America's efforts in the region could be set back by decades.
Caves – (Ghost Recon®)
§ Azcona's squads are using the nearby caves as an operational base for raiding army convoys across the river. Detain and extract the rebel leader and recon the area for any hidden weapon caches.

P.S Why the hell you buy the Halo 3 maps? They go free after like 2 months and there hardly anything revolutionary.. except that big empty warehouse, that was well worth it ;)
GRAW!
GRAW!
I guess this isn't as bad as how I feel owning Guitar Hero 2 and not having anymore songs coming out for it...is there really that much difference between GRAW and GRAW 2 that these maps couldn't work on both?
sheesh
