Gears of War custom map - Forrestal Village

This is one of the most original and memorable maps for GoW. Marcus and Dom find themselves in a picturesque forest with a broken APC. In search for a replacement they enter the town.

The design is very detailed and colorful, which I like more than Gears' color correction.

Some cover slots seem to be unfinished, because I can't go through them. Also, the map could use a spectacular ending cutscene which would show how they leave the town.

The map was made by Awais Ahmed, professional level designer who now works on Borderlands 2 in Gearbox. You can download the map here: http://mozidesign.com/Levels/SP_Forrestal_Final.zip http://yadi.sk/d/ZijuK88-5w0r6
