According to MajorNelson.com, Epic Games, is releasing a new map pack for 800 points, called “Hidden Fronts” on Thursday, May 3rd, at 9 a.m. GMT.
If you get it, you’ll receive four new multiplayer maps:
 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.
Apparently, if you wait until September 3rd, 2007, all the map packs will be free. Here are some images of the new map packs (via http://www.majornelson.com/):

I like the interactive environment that these seem like they have.

Tight, but why did MS force them to make then charge for it? That’s really gay, but, oh well, I’m buying them anyways.
