Today, you'll get to try out the new and improved Marketplace by downloading a new map pack for GRAW 2 called the Throwback Pack. This map pack costs 800 Microsoft points and includes seven remakes of multiplayer maps from not only GRAW, but Ghost Recon 2 and Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike. Maps included are Bonfires, Desert Gulch, Fishing Village, Jungle Mines, Mountain Base, Mountain Falls, and Peninsula. And if you need a little more information about the new maps before you commit to a purchase, head over to IGN as they have a nice preview of each map.
If you've already downloaded the new maps, what do you think about the value you get for your 800 Microsoft points?
[Thanks, Raymond Dubisky]

Huh, I didn't know they were remaking those maps. I remember Fishing Village being one of the most popular (and fun) maps on GR: Island Thunder.

Although a remake of maps is a fun idea...I'm not going to fork over $10 for them.

All 7 of the map remakes rock! If you played Ghost Recon 2, Ghost Recon 2: Summit Strike, or the first GRAW, I'm sure you have fond memories of each map. GRAW2 finally puts the snow camo to use, and if you've never played 'Mountain Falls' then now is your chance to play one of the best maps from the series.
These maps hold quite a bit of nostalgic value to fans of the series and are a bargain at $10. Those of you that don't purchase this map pack will be left playing sharpshooter matches with 12yr split-screeners on 'headquarters'...
I guarantee hosts will be running these classic maps over and over.

Didn't I already pay for some of these maps with the GRAW expansion. I agree that there should be maps from GR and GR:IT (I've played both games from here 'till next week). However, the multiplayer in the original 2 is so different that I'm not sure they could be ported. I remember when having the ability of controlling an entire team of 3 (with a buddy controlling the other 3) and being able to switch in between each member. That ruled.
That said, as a GR freak, I'll certainly be forking over the 10 bones for the pack. It doesn't seem unreasonable (unlike the Guitar Hero DC), and I'm sure to play the hell out of these classic maps.

No, nostalgic would be more Maps from the original GR or GRIT; not 3 maps from GRAW and 4 from GR2 series.
3 maps from GRAW is a ripoff not"nostalgia"
