The Mythic Map Pack is an upcoming map pack to be released by Bungie for Halo 3.

Summary

The Mythic Map Pack was confirmed to include Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox and may include Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel. It will be released with the launch of Halo Wars, but only included with the Limited Edition.

The map pack is set to be released shortly after Halo Wars Limited Edition on March 3, for American regions, February 26 for Asia, and February 27, 2009 for the UK and Europe, as DLC.[1]

Confirmed Maps

Assembly, Sandbox and Orbital are maps that have been confirmed by Bungie.

Assembly

Main article: Assembly (Level)

Assembly was originally planned to be in the Heroic Map Pack, then the Legendary Map Pack, but was replaced due to the fear that it wouldn't be finished on time. It is suspected that the map is set in a Covenant Scarab Factory. Some say it is similar to the Halo 2 map, Midship. It is said to be fit for mid-sized Slayer and Team Slayer battles, and also supports objective gametypes, other gameplay details are indefinite.

Orbital

Main article: Orbital (Level)

Orbital is set on the Quito Space Tether, a UNSC space elevator. It will be the first map in Halo 3 (campaign or multiplayer) to be set in outer space. Orbital is described as having two main corridors overlapping each other and having some interesting switches that grant access to certain areas of the map. An image of Orbital was released on Bungie.net in late December.

Sandbox

Main article: Sandbox (Level)

Sandbox looks alot like a forge heavy version of Sandtrap. Scaling the vehicles to the map size makes sandbox look like a medium sized map.

Possible Maps

The Mythic Map Pack may include Longshore, Heretic and Citadel. These three maps, if included, will have their own skulls and an Achievement for each of them.

Trivia

  • These Multiplayer maps will be the first multiplayer maps that include hidden skulls. If you acquire all of the skulls on the Mythic Map pack, you will unlock the Vidmaster Challenge: Brainpan.
  • The Mythic Map Pack is the first Halo 3 DLC Map Pack that is available for players who do not have access to Xbox Live. If Heretic, Longshore and Citadel are not included with the mythic map pack; they will most likely be released with Halo 3: ODST.
