Heretic

Heretic is a multiplayer map for Halo 3, it will be released with the Mythic Map Pack along with 5 others. Not much is known about this map, other than it will have an Energy Sword, as it is required for the 'Blades of Fury' achievement.

Skull
The crest of the hidden skull on this level appears to be the Covenant, Mark of Shame. Judging by this seems the level will have a Covenant environment or the Flood controlled High Charity.

Trivia

 * The term "Heretic" is used by the Covenant Loyalists to refer to the Covenant Separatists, hinting that this map may feature Covenant Separatist structures.
 * Getting a Sword Spree medal on this map earns the player the 'Blades of Fury' achievement.
 * It has been speculated that it could be based on the level The Arbiter, or The Heretic from Halo 2, as the gas station featured in that level was controlled by the Heretics.
 * The fact that there is an achievement to score a Sword Spree on the map suggests that it is either a small or medium sized map.
 * An unconfirmed description of the map is: "Because of its speed and luxury, the Pious Inquisitor has become an irresistible prize during these dark times." 2-8 players. The Pious Inquisitor was the ship that Midship took place on, supporting the rumour of this being a Midship remake, however there has been no confirmation from Bungie to support or deny a Midship remake, only that Assembly was not a direct remake, just very similar in design and layout.
 * This map could be a remake of the Halo 2 map Gemini.
