From Major Nelson - www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/01/new-gears-maps-coming-this-thursday.aspx

t’s the ‘Hidden Fronts’ map pack and it’s dropping this Thursday, May 3, at 9 a.m. GMT

The map pack is 800 points in which you’ll get four new multiplayer maps:

Bullet Marsh: In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.

Garden: This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.

Process: Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.

Subway: Timgad's Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.

You can grab the pack this Thursday for 800 points or wait until Sept. 3, 2007 when all four maps will be available for free.

But its nearer 8 quid isn't it?

I know I'll end up getting them, but I've got a lot of work to do so can't really justify time on the box at the moment. I've even cut out MSN messenger so it doesn't distract me.

I take it you can only get the MS points by either:-

Buy them through your 360 with Credit Card

or

By buying a card from a shop?

Just thought I could have pre-empted Friday's download by purchasing them online today but can't see where I would do so...

go to www.xbox.com

login with your gamer profile and then you can buy gamerpoints there, they show instantly on your account.
