Citadel

Looking for the Citadel, the Forerunner building?

Citadel is an upcoming Halo 3 map that will be included in the Mythic Map Pack. No specific release date has been confirmed yet, however this map is expected to be released with Assembly, Sandbox, Orbital, Longshore, and Heretic in the Mythic Map Pack"...in early 2009. “Winter,” as they say." - Lukems in the 10/10/08 weekly update.

''"I played this map with Lars. This map was LARGELY inspired by the level "The Covenant" when you were inside of the Forerunner structures, right after the battle with the Hunters who were below the elevator platform. When you have to go around and up an angled jump to battle a few brutes and buggers to get to the platform, that part is almost exactly in the map! It was really cool and was a good close quarters map. Two overshields spawn, and there is a central location with a small structure in the middle with Rockets on top. There are a lot of things hidden in here, very cool map." Williams MLG Pro''

 * This may also be another map similar to Construct, but due to the Shotgun Spree achievement, it may be more of a close-quarters map.
