THQ has just announced the new map pack “The Rock” for Homefront will be coming soon. The new map pack offers two new maps for Ground Control: Alcatraz and Bridge, as well as two new maps for Team Deathmatch.

Alcatraz – America’s most infamous prison becomes the site of fierce close-quarters fighting.
Bridge – A combined arms effort to secure the North Tower of the Golden Gate Bridge and surrounding area, large-scale warfare at its best!
Waterway – Wage war atop storefronts and in the streets of the Spillway, where every inch feels like a mile.
Overpass – Battle in a fan-favorite Ground Control space for the first time in Team Deathmatch!

The new DLC will be available first on Xbox 360 with PS3 and PC to soon follow after. You won’t pay $15, not even $10, but a low price of $5 (400MSP) for four new maps! Okay, so maybe that sounded like something out of a bad infomercial and my Rock reference wasn’t the greatest. But hey, four new maps for $5? Count me in.

Ripten’s Gears of War Movie Poster Fan Art

So yeah, I was bored and the lack of news coming over the wire convinced me to pop open Adobe Photoshop and mess around for a while. One thing lead to another, and a few hours later I ended up with my own little Gears of War Movie poster. Dan Landis added his two cents on the casting over Skype.

Yes, we know that Kilmer is currently a bit on the heavy side, and Batista may not be the best actor on the face of the planet, but we figured what the fuck — they sure as hell look the part. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Lester “Terry Tate” Speight were obvious choices. To be perfectly clear, the Gears of War movie has NOT been officially cast yet, these are merely our “shooting the shit” selections.

Hit the jump for a high res version and make sure to let me know what you think of it in the comment section below. Thanks guys.
