FEAR 2 owners will be able to download the new Toy Soldiers DLC pack today.  The pack includes three new multiplayer maps and is available on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3.  The three maps are interesting, here's the full description from the PR:
  • FullTilt: Players battle inside a retro 1970s era pinball machine “Snake Fist” style as they use flippers, targets, spinners and pop-bumpers for cover in fast paced action. The multi-level playfield and authentic sounds set the mood for destruction.
  • Cockroach: Featuring a blood drenched hospital room filled with heart pounding action, players can climb up electrical cords, laboratory equipment and pill bottles in a tightly connected environment.
  • Recess: Players wage mayhem from the top of a giant sandcastle to the cockpit of a toy bulldozer.
It's nice to see companies getting creating with their DLC and taking things in a different direction.
