TimeShift wasn’t the block buster title that Sierra Entertainment was looking for. That is why today, Sierra announced that they will be releasing a free multiplayer map pack on Xbox Live today. Titled “Futures-Past Multiplayer Map Pack,” the pack contains five new maps, all compatible with the various game modes. If you have a free minute and were one of the few people who bought TimeShift, I would defiantly recommend giving the pack a download. What’s it going to cost ya?
