Gears Of War 2 Gets Snowblind

More maps, more achievements, and more hiding behind things and shooting come in the Snowblind Map Pack for Gears of War 2, now available via Xbox Live Marketplace.

Fans have been drooling over them for several weeks, and now the four new multiplayer maps for Gears 2 are upon us in the Snowblind Map Pack. Grindyard, Under Hill, Courtyard, and the snowy remake of Fuel Depot are all available now for 800 Microsoft points, giving players even more places to get chainsawed in half than ever before.

Adding to the value of the pack is 250 points worth of new achievements, mainly centered around the new experience system introduced in last week’s title update. Achievements are now earned for reaching level 5, 15, 25, 50, and 100, with some additional requirements added to the later levels to keep things fresh. What requirements?
