Looks like you may want to wait on picking up those additional maps for Gears of War 2.  Just announced, there will be a retail package which includes all the current DLC, plus several new maps and a Director’s Cut of one of the levels.

This appears similar to the announcement that the Halo ODST stand-alone expansion may include all of the released Halo DLC as well.

So, kids, remember when maps used to be free?  Hell, Dawn of War 2 is getting a new 2vs2 mode with additional maps.  That’s even a Game of Windows LIVE game (PC DLC supported and even used for the pre-order goodies).

don’t tell me the ending to: Gears of War 2
