Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack releases April 9, 800 points

Major Nelson has revealed that the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack will be available to everyone come April 9 for the price of 800

($10). The pack contains three new maps: Sandbox, Assembly and Orbital. So, if you haven't broken down and bought the limited edition of Halo Wars, which contains a token to download the maps, you now know exactly how long you have to wait. Mark your calendars kids, just a few more weeks until you too can have fun with Killballs.

If you haven't already, be sure to check out our hands-on impressions of the Mythic maps as well as our video preview.

Orbital is the most fun, as it adds straight hallways, and 90° angles that aren't really present is any other map. Assembly is all right, but nothing special. Sandbox is odd, as it feels pretty open and doesn't really encourage that much strategy (reminds me of a Q3A map). So they're most worth it if you really want to play Orbital, or if you like forging. Personally, I have no friends who care about forging, so I've never really messed around with it.

woot woot im super excited for these maps. i just got the COD:WAW ones and there pretty sweet but i just love buying digital things, if i had more points i would buy the gears maps to even tho i dont play that game.

For all the hype Bungie gives Forge, I wish they would include a Forge playlist in matchmaking. I mean, they give out Recon to people who make cool maps and game types, so why not showcase those maps in a rotating weekly playlist? I'm always down for trying new things in Halo (when's tee time for the Golf variant?), but it's impossible to try unless you have a bunch of Halo-playing friends as well. The last time I tried to do a custom match with people I met online I wound up in a tiny area playing 2 v 1 (I was the one) and getting spawned killed endlessly. Not exactly a gametype I want to play again.

So, any idea if they will let Halo 3 and ODST be compatable in multiplayer? Meaning you can system link two xboxes with a copy of each seperate game.

That would be sweet!

There still making DLC for Halo 3!?

Well, I guess they will make money off of this. Since the millions of 10 year old boys on Xbox Live feel they need to buy everything related to Halo.

*Cheers* go die

Halo Wars was totally worth it. I love Ensemble, and their final project is great! Too bad they couldn't stay together :(. The Halo 3 maps rock, I've been having a lot of fun screwing around in forge with Sandbox.
