Free Gears 3 Map Pack on Thanksgiving

5 Free Maps, available on XBOX Live Marketplace Thanksgiving Day

Free maps? Yes, you heard me.  On Thanksgiving (Nov 24 2011), Epic has announced they will be releasing another map pack DLC, the Versus Booster Map Pack, which will include a total of five maps; three from Horde Command (Azura, Blood Drive, Rustlung), and two others (Bullet Marsh, Clocktower) from the original Gears of War.  

Unfortunately, even though the new free DLC will include all the maps from the latest Horde Command Pack (released yesterday on XBOX Live), it will not include all the other goodies.  So if you want the new fortification upgrades, characters and weapon skins, you'll have to shell out the 800 MS Points for the Horde Command Pack.
