Free Gears of War 3 maps out now, Insane Gearheads can obtain bonus weapon skins

The Gears of War 3 "Booster Map Pack" unleashes free maps, two new and three already available via "Horde Command Pack," onto the Xbox Live Marketplace today. Fellow Gears (or Locusts) can gib their foes in the new "Bullet Marsh" and "Clocktower" maps or the previous DLC maps -- "Azura," "Blood Drive" and "Rustlung."

Players who have completed the campaign on Insane difficulty in either single or multi-player can unlock the Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol weapon skin pack after watching the Mission Impossible trailer. People who haven't completed what Epic calls "Impossible Mission" have until December 24 to achieve the task and claim dibs on the skin set. Achievers will receive their reward on December 31.

A free map pack. A month-wait for a free weapon skin pack. Happy Thanksgiving!
