Microsoft announced earlier this month the release of a new Gears of War 2 add on disc – The All Fronts Collection. This disc includes a new campaign level plus seven additional multiplayer maps not yet released. They even threw in all content released up to this date as well, so if you haven’t purchased any Gears of War 2 additional content, now is the time to get it.

The new content includes the Dark Corners game add on plus other content, listed below. The disc will cost $19.99 and the Dark Corners addon will be available separately on the Xbox Live Marketplace for 1600 MS points (~$20), both being released on July 28, 2009. With all the additional content given with the disc, it really doesn’t make sense not to pick up the All Fronts Collection disc.

Included on the disc:

Dark Corners Game Addon

• Road to Ruin – New campaign level where Marcus & Dom head back into the Locust Hollow (possibly the alternative to trying to save Dom’s wife?)

7 new multiplayer maps:

• Allfathers Garden: Honor the sacred grounds of the Coalition founders in this explosive map, where powerful weapons catalyze fast and furious action at this COG landmark.
• Memorial: Set near the Eternal Flame, which pays tribute to the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, a hard-fought battle ensues at the Tomb of Unknowns. Put your flank formation and evasive skills to the test as you fight to control the Boomshot.
• Sanctuary: Once a peaceful ground for reflection and remembrance, all that remains of the Sanctuary is the chill of death. Feast your eyes on the arsenal of weapons available as you make your way through the tight paths and blind corners of the Locust-damaged temple corridors.
• War Machine: In the abandoned train station that once served as a hub for travel, you will need to master the Longshot, Mulcher, and Boomshot weapons to advance the fight while evading fire from the platforms above.
• Highway: Take the fight deep into Locust Hollow in the complex passages of this underground highway system brimming with enemy vermin. Stick together, separate the enemy and have an exit strategy ready or it’ll be a one-way trip.
• Way Station: Sitting in limbo between death and “processing” are Locust way stations filled with fallen COG soldiers. Tread lightly and practice patience as it’s better to sacrifice firepower for stealth while navigating this minefield of hidden grenades.
• Nowhere: Set in the middle of what was once a destination for weary desert travellers, the land is now barren and devoid of life. Pick off your enemies with the Longshot sniper rifle and make your way to the stairwell with a well-fortified team during this intense firefight.
