10 Multiplayer Maps will ship with Gears of War, woot!

Joystiq just relayed the news that Gears of War will ship with 10 multiplayer maps.  Horray for replay value :)

Also, apparently there are a few copies of GoW floating around at Microsoft.  I was wandering the halls yesterday between meetings and I noticed a crowd gathering in one of the offices.  They were playing Gears of War.  From an over-the-player's shoulder view, I saw the game in action and I was blown away.  If the game is as much fun to play as it is to watch, Gears of War may be the best game to come out this year on any platform in my opinion.  Just one more month...
