Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Details Revealed

Published January 30, 2009

Halo® 3 finished 2008 as the most-played game of the year on Xbox LIVE®, and Halo Nation shouldn't expect things to slow down anytime soon. March 3 marks the release of Bungie's Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack, first available exclusively in the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars™ from Ensemble Studios.

The Mythic Map Pack will be available for download from Xbox LIVE Marketplace on April 9 for 800 MS Points.

The three maps included in the pack are Sandbox, Assembly, and Orbital. You'll still need a copy of Halo 3 to play the new maps.

Create your own game experiences.

Sandbox combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, build your own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

Battle for control in this Capture the Flag map.

Assembly is set in the heart of a Covenant Scarab manufacturing facility. With two identical bases on either side of this medium-sized map, it's a perfect environment for both Slayer and objective games like Capture the Flag and Assault.

This small map is perfect for one-sided games.

Orbital, a small asymmetrical map, is set in the docking station of the Quito Space Tether. One-sided games like One Flag, and One Bomb are sure to become quick fan-favorites, but the Slayer faithful will also find plenty of action on this battleground.
