When Gears of War 2 hits stores in November, it'll come with a piece of the original game. Five of the multiplayer maps from the original Gears of War will also appear as release date DLC. There's one catch, though.

GoW 2 designer Cliff Bleszinski told GamePro that GoW maps Gridlock, Subway, Canals, Mansion, and Tyro Station will be included in the DLC. You'll be able to download the maps by using a voucher included in new copies of GoW2.

In other words, if you wait to buy a used copy from Gamestop, you'll be S.O.L. on the free map pack. Presumably you'll be able to buy it off Xbox Live, too. Clever way for Epic Games to fight the used games market (publishers/developers don't make a dime off a game being resold). Gears of War 2 will hit stores on November 7th exclusively on Xbox 360.
