Good things come to those who wait, or in this case, free game content. Major Nelson has revealed that the Lost Planet Multiplayer Map Pack #3 is now available for free download on Xbox Live. Previously, the Map Pack was 400 Microsoft Points.
The maps included are Lost Technology, Ruins, and Ice Drop, and will give Lost Planet fans more impressive vistas to battle it out on.
It’s nice to see content becoming free over time and should be something Microsoft should look at, in the future. All premium content should eventually become free or at the least get a nice discount as time passes on.
Why the Gears of War map packs haven’t been reduced in price, especially with Halo 3 on the horizon, is still a head scratcher. And for those who say content of that caliber will never become free; just remember that Halo 2 eventually made all its maps free and it was bigger than Gears of War ever was.
