Gears of War 2 “FlashBack” Maps now Available on XBLM

If you bought Gears of War 2 new (and don’t live in regions unsupported by Live), you can stop reading now. If you picked it up used, you didn’t get a free voucher code for the Flashback Map Pack — a set of five Gears of War multiplayer levels given face-lifts for Gears 2, which can now be downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace for 400 ($5).

Think of those five bucks as Microsoft slapping you ever-so-lightly on the wrist for turning to the vile second-hand games market for your jollies. Then again, you might want to wait until Epic has ironed out all of the multiplayer kinks from Gears 2 before investing in more maps.
