I know I am bit behind on posting about the map pack but I wanted to have sometime with the 3 new maps before posting about them.
Flood:
Flood is a smaller map that has Imulsion throughout the level, watch your step you don’t want to catch fire and die. I was a bit skeptical of this map at first because it is a smaller map but after playing with it extensively I find that I love the intense fire fights that this map offers.
An abandoned fuel station why not blow up the tanks and scare the enemy or head up the second level of station and control the map. There are only 2 ways upstairs plant those grenades on the stairs and then get ready to shotgun any enemy that decides to come up the evaluator. The team that usually controls the second level wins the game. This map is a fun map it really is but is not suited for all game modes and is probably the weakest map of the map pack.
Gold Rush:
Is a two level map that has a sniper on the second level and a mortar on the first level. Decisions, Decisions where do you go? Do you take the mortar and try and destroy the enemy on the second level or do you go after the sniper and blow off the enemy’s head on the lower level.
Conclusion
There was not hints dropped by Epic Games that DLC maps were coming and they came quick after launching the game. GoW2 was still suffering from matchmaking issues and adding more maps to the fold may have not been the best thing for it. The marketing campaign to have Cole come up on screen at the Spike Video game awards and announce the Conbustible Map Pack and that it
