It's only been out a short while, but SEGA is already about to release the first DLC for Aliens vs Predator. However if you own any of the special edition copies of the game, then there is nothing to get too excited about.

Essentially the new "Swarm Map Pack" offers owners of the regular edition of the game four new multiplayer maps that were included in the special editions. Two of the maps are designed for six of the multiplayer modes (Deathmatch, Predator Hunt, Infestation, Species Deathmatch, Mixed Species Deathmatch and Domination), while the other two are soley for the Survivor mode.

The maps are as follows:

Multiple Multiplayer Mode Maps (Or MMMM for short - Yeah!):

• Docks: The caustic alkali waters of BG-386 put an end to Weyland-Yutani’s planned shipping activities.

• Machine: As well as processing exotic ores, the BG-386 Refinery provided electrical power to the colonists at Freya’s Prospect.

Survivor Maps (up to four Marines battle to stay alive against increasing swarms of Xenomorphs):

• Outpost: The site of the original Weyland-Yutani colony on BG-386 was abandoned, and soon reclaimed by the planet’s voracious jungle plant life.

• Hive: Deep in the heart of the Freya’s Prospect Refinery lays the Xenomorph Hive.

The “Swarm Map Pack” will be available on 18 March for 560 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360, or £4.79/ €5.99/$7 for PS3 owners.

I didn't get any special edition of the game, so I'm versy excited for this. I just hope SEGA/Rebellion continue to release more maps and DLC for the game - because it really is one of the best multiplayer games I have played in years and I hope it continues to entertain me for a long time.
