Raven Down is a multiplayer map added on January 10, 2007, in a downloadable content package titled "Gears of War-Multiplayer Map Pack 1". Gears of War-Multiplayer Map Pack 1 added two new multiplayer maps, "Old Bones" and "Raven Down".
This map is a very small cross-shaped map with a downed Raven in the middle and splits the teams into two groups of two at the begining, instead of putting all four of them next to each other like usual. Here is a (very poor) sample image of the map from a birds eye view, to show how the teams are split up. The diagonal row of R's symbolizes the downed Raven.
