On 3/31/2009, Microsoft released a second pricey ($10) add-on for Gears of War 2: the Snowblind Map Pack. It includes three brand-new maps: Grind Yard, Under Hill, and Courtyard. The fourth map is Fuel Depot, a reworked map from the original Gears of War.

On 12/15/2008, the Combustible Map Pack for Gears of War 2 was released, and includes three new maps: Flood, Gold Rush, and Fuel Station. The $10 price point, however, seems a bit steep for so little content.

Gears Of War Everything Ends
I Remastered this remake of the Everything Ends Trailer. Original mad world version gets cut off before the end with a humorous cut from Blazing Saddles followed by the everything ends version.
