For those of you that aren't aware, the Flashback Map Pack is a pack of five maps from the original Gears of War, redesigned for Gears of War 2. The maps include Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion, and Tyro Station. If you purchase a brand new copy of the game, you receive a code allowing you to download the maps for free. These tokens, however, are one-time use, so if you pick up a used copy of the game or eBay it, chances are you aren't going to get the token. With the release of the map pack to the masses, however, I just wonder how much longer Epic is going to include download codes in new copies of the game...

400 points isn't a bad deal. To bad it doesn't add more achievements

New update is mostly glitch fixes, no new maps when it does release sadly.

It already has 18 maps, and that is plenty, they just need to concentrate on fixing the lag and some other glitches in the game, which it looks like that's what they are doing. We'll have to wait for the patch.
