Much to Epic’s dismay, the Gears 2 “All Fronts” DLC pack for Gears of War 2 conspicuously appeared on Xbox Live today, despite having a stamped release date of July 28. To make matters even more perplexing, said DLC was available for 800 MS points, instead of the originally announced 1600 MS points. A stroke of generosity or a serious mistake?

Turns out, it was a mistake, as Microsoft has removed the offending content, now locked away until the 28th. It was purchasable for a brief time, so those who were lucky enough to nab this deal, get to keep it. Unsurprisingly, Epic is asking forum users not to take screenshots or videos of the accidentally released DLC. Now that the cat is out of the bag so to speak, we have a feeling that request won’t go over very well.

    If I had to guess, the July 28th timing looks like they might be showing some more of it at Comic-Con which runs next week from the 23rd - 26th.

    does the other map pack has the deleted scene? because I already got the other 2 map packs.

    I just watch it on Youtube. I know I couldn't wait, I wanna see if it will be worth it.

    Yes. The Dark Corners map pack includes the 'Road to Ruin' deleted campaign chapter and seven new MP maps. That's what you would download if you already grabbed the Flashback, Snowblind, and Combustible map packs.

    If you haven't grabbed anything yet, the All Fronts pack is a whopping 19 multiplayer maps in one package.
