Looks like the controversy between Epic and Microsoft over pricing schemes is finally over, and the result is quite reasonable. This Thursday at 5:00 AM Eastern Time, or 9:00 AM GMT for the rest of the world, four new maps will be released for 800 Microsoft Points ($10 USD). The lineup includes:
- Bullet Marsh: In this Kryll-infested swamp, an old generator still powers the area lights. A few stray bullets could easily knock out the generator, leaving combatants to fend for themselves against the Kryll.
- Garden: This overgrown and crumbling conservatory still has a working fertilization and pesticide system. This system can pose a serious hazard to anyone who ventures into the greenhouse without first venting the air.
- Process: Teams must fight for control of this subterranean Imulsion processing plant, still active despite the cessation of the Pendulum wars.
- Subway: Timgad’s Central Subway station used to serve as a central hub for commuters. Now the tunnels are crawling with Locust.
Don’t feel like shelling out 800 points? Well, you could always hold out until September 3rd when you’ll be able to score them for free.
Pics after the jump!
