Stranglehold Xbox 360 Cover
Midway has released a new map pack for Stranglehold today. The new pack contains 10 additional multiplayer maps and 21 new multiplayer character skins. The Xbox 360 version also comes with 10 new achievements. I’m not sure when the pack will be released for the Playstation 3 though. Hopefully later today and not during the next Playstation Store update.
