List of Snowblind Maps

Grind Yard

• The Grind Yard multiplayer map released in the Snowblind map pack is a symmetrical map with industrial-themed terrain. The map is littered with derelict cars and concrete walls to give cover. There is a central raised area for sniping and other high-ground attacks. Weapons include the Scorcher flamethrower located on a center ramp. Bolo grenades spawn between two of the low-cover walls. The central raised structure contains a Boomshot and a Boltok pistol is located on either side of this structure. Finally, a Gorgon pistol is located on a ramp near the central structure.

Underhill

• The Underhill map is an urban-themed map with abandoned cars littering the playing field. Each team is able to see the other team's spawning point from across the map. Two bridges lead up to a roadblock on another bridge where a respawning Mortar is located and between the two ramp-bridges a Longshot sniper rifle can be found. An indoor garage area stretches across the map and contains both a Boomshield and a Scorcher.

Courtyard

• The Courtyard map is made up of an area from act 1 of the original Gears of War game, located in the capital city of Ephyra. It is the urban area fought in after the main character, Marcus Fenix, is rescued from prison by his teammate, Dominic. It is one of the largest multiplayer maps in Gears of War 2 and is very open with longs lines of sight. Multiple weapon respawn points are located throughout the map and include the Torque Bow, Bolo grenades, Boomshot and Mortars.
