Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Release Date & Details [Update 2]

Author: Vince | Date: February 4, 2009

Microsoft have confirmed that the upcoming Mythic Map pack for Halo 3 will be released on March 3rd, meaning that buying the special edition version of Halo Wars will only grant you access to them one week early.  They have also given us a few new details on each of the 3 new maps:-

Sandbox combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, “Halo 3” players will be able to build their own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

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.

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.

***Update***

As the keen eyed amongst you may have noticed, the Mythic Map pack was not released on the 3rd as previously stated but is currently scheduled for release on April 10th according to the latest rumours.  This is one month after the release of the US version of Halo Wars.

***Update 2***

Microsoft have now confirmed that the Mythic Map Pack will be released to the general public on 9th April.  See below excerpt from todays DLC press release:-

Hot on the heels of Snowblind comes the highly-anticipated “Halo 3” Mythic Map Pack, releasing 9th April with three new maps: Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox. Both Game Add-ons will be available only on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points.

Paul buddy, my o my where to start? First off, your an idiot, Ensemble made Halo Wars and is in a completely different genre compared to that of Halo 3. Secondly, Halo 3 raked in more cash in the first two months than either of its predicessors (Halo 1 or 2) it made about $500 million big ones in the its first month alone. I highly doubt afro samurai will exceed that much in the entire YEAR!!

I don’t think you realize the spelling mess you’re in. Go back to first grade. Oh, and by the way, Afro Sammurai sucks dick. Halo 3 will always be better. You can’t confirm an opinion. Mike is right, Bungie doesn’t make Halo Wars, Ensemble Studios does. Next time when you state your opinion, make sure that you know what you’re posting. Dumbass.

1ª – Halo Wars is from Ensemble. It’s an RTS. Nothing to do with Halo 3.
2º – Bungie is over with Halo.
3ª – Damn… Afro Samurai and Halo ? Is like comparing tables with bananas…

1st -Halo wars in my opinion a great game, easily comparable to command and conquer-awesome.

2nd-Halo wars was made by ensemble, and by what I’ve read, is going backrupt- or something along the lines of- and that bungie had nothing to do with it besides from the original designs of the characters.

3rd-bungie is not over halo, they are making a new game- more of an expansion of the first halo- and most likely will continue with the development of new maps and updates. Most companies that are “done” with a game will do none of these.

4th- because I can, I might add that I have already purchases halo wars and am paciently waiting for its arrival :D :D

Hey AJ,

The Mythic map pack is due for general release next Friday (6th March) for 800 msp. As for Recon (or ODST as it is now), there is no fixed release date yet.

Hope that helps!

Bungie said that buying Halo Wars LE would grant you access to the Mythic Map pack 1 week early, and as Halo Wars came out this week a quick bit of maths gives us the dates of the 6th or the 10th depending if you take the UK or US release dates.

OK I FEEL LIKE CLEARING THE AIR….

Halo wars came out march 3rd or 4th with only THREE of the halo mythic maps. if you look at you achivements you need to find 6 skulls all from mythic maps and halo wars owners only have 3 maps. i assume there going to have mythic map pack 1 and mythic map pack 2 each containtin 3 maps costing around 800 microsoft points. Now for the recon story if you look at your achivement list youll notice that theres 4 vidmaster challeges, now in order to get recon you must get all theses vidmasters achivments and the three more vidmaster achivments that are comming out with halo 3 ODST which is a expansion to halo 3.

I find it funny how all of you are insulting one person over something as foolish as Halo wars. You all rip on him for his incorrect grammar; although, I find most of you doing the same. Hypocritical much? Anyway he isn’t wrong, for it is his opinion; however, you are entitled to your own. Instead of insulting someone who could make an honnest mistake, how bout you all shut the hell up.

How have you all said the same damn thing so many times and got it wrong?? I agree, Paul is just a complete idiot. Me tinks he may have posted just to c how many of you fools try to show how heavily stupid you are also.

Bungie is not ‘finished’ with Halo, pea brains. WTF is Halo ODST all about then huh??

Ensemble made Halo Wars for the RTS fans under strict creative supervision of Bungie.

Halo Wars is completely necessary to anyone with a brain who gives 2 hoots about the freakin story. For anyone with a brain………… its a no-brainer.

The mythic map pack has been released to anyone who purchased the collector’s edition of Halo Wars, and will be available on Xbox Live Marketplace on the third of march, so buying Halo Wars CE only buys you an extra week of mythic. Read above for frak sake!!!!!!!

Halo Wars Sucks ass and if you disagree than more than likely you suck ass. If you get a kick out of sitting back watching people kick each others ass while you just tell them to then your a boring ass punk. And I do think it has some what messed with bungie reputation, because alot of people thinks that bungie did make the game and those people can base an opinion that can mess up bungies reputation, understand? And the whole purpose of this blog page is ask about the mytic map pack release date but you dumb bitches are to worried about talking shit to people who don’t stay up to date with who makes halo wars, I mean fuck if I didn’t research it I probably would think that bungie made halo wars, why you ask? Halo, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, and Halo Odst all have the same fucking name so why are people dumb because they think that they are all made by the same people?

All i want know is the release date (the ones you tell HAPPENS TO BE WRONG DATES! Because today is 15th may!) . I don’t care about paul who by the way seems to need to research before commenting. But stop kicking him while he is down please! I hope the latest rumour is true because I nearly can’t wait. I’m looking forward to do some forging in sandbox. I also have a suggestion about a subject to talk about instead of harashing paul:
Why don’t we all say what we wanna make in forge. I want to make a GriffBall and a Racetrack in the sky.

PS: Respect for you Vince for not saying anything about paul. I actually still want to say mean things about him. But i won’t. :·)

“Because today is 15th may!”

I’m sure you mean 15th March, but I’ll let that slide… The current release date for the Mythic Map pack is rumoured to be 10th April…

Hope that helps!

Also, on the forge front my vote would be for an actual maze like level (with a roof to prevent people jumping over the walls), that would be awsome with no motion trackers and in infection games, giving a whole hunter/hunted aspect.

I think bungie keep delaying the mythic map pack as they enjoy reading all the comments posted here.

Bungie didn’t make Halo Wars! Why don’t people understand this simple fact!? Microsoft own all the rights to the Halo name, so when they wanted a Halo RTS they farmed it out to Ensemble Studios, who have a proven record with RTS games thanks to their massively successful Age of Empires series.

I wanted to stay away from this totally retarded comment thread, but people’s inability to grasp simple facts has forced me to jump in again!!

Aaargh!!

Oh my poor misguided Paul. Where, of where, to begin? Ok, Halo Wars is an RTS (real-time strategy game (in case you didn’t know that (which seems possible from your obvious stupidity.))) Real time strategy games are games in which you build up resources, raise armies, and throw those armies at each other (I know its a bit more complex than that, but that’ll do for the sake of this argument.) Anyways, it is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT GENRE from the rest of the Halo saga. OF COURSE IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. It doesn’t even sound like you’ve given it a fair chance. By the way, it’s a great game, and I feel it helps make the storyline of the Halo saga more full because now I can play through everything I’ve read about in the books. And back then in the story, there weren’t just two heroes, Master Chief and the Arbiter. There were epic battles between entire armies, and and RTS is capable of showing just that. As for Afro Samurai, since you like it so much Paul, why don’t you just go play that and leave the rest of us alone? We’ll be playing the Halo saga thank you very much, including Halo Wars.

Yay! I can’t even wait those two weeks (plus one day)!!! That maze level sounds like a cool idea Vince. But why do you write three (3) maps? Is it not six (6) maps? It was Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox but wasn’t it also Citadel, Longshore and Heretic? Or will they just come out later? I don’t know so i’m just asking. Please respond…

Nope, there is only those 3 maps in the Mythic map pack. I *believe* that the other 3 maps are part of ODST, but I’m not 100% on that…

I don’t know why all you assholes care that much. No need to rant. Keep your thoughts in your own head and don’t blurt out nonsensical bull. This page was about the Mythic Map Pack…. Umm.. the comments were about Halo Wars and other irrelevant stuff, like who made halo. Who cares? Hmm? Raise your hands….

If you like Halo, Good, I am proud of you, it is a good game
If you like Halo Wars, Awesome.. Its nice to have a change in a game, and it was well made.
If you dont like them, Nice job, be a “non conformist” and go play Gears2..

Better yet, Be a real gamer and play Call Of Duty. It can rip Gears to shreads.

Can’t wait for the Mythic Map Pack, It looks bangin

asdfhjkl;

halo is better in 3-D Halo Wars is more like 2-D and you have different controls and you run everything (which is homosexualy retarded) is nothing like halo combat evoled Halo 2, Halo 3 And halo 3 ODST (or used to be as known as recon, which isnt released yet but its actually looks fun!)Stated in halo wars maunel bungie did not create Halo wars another company did . and you know what. they did a pretty slop ass job.

First of all! Do you know what the different between 3d and 2d is? mario, kirby and donkeykong are 2d. But halo wars is 2d. If you meant something else then i’m sry but i can’t see it from a different angle. Second of all! Just because it’s not like the other halo’s doesn’t mean it’s homosexual. It is actually pretty easy too control everything in halo wars. My cousin has it and he thinks it is fine. Personally i don’t like the game myself. THIRD AND FINAL! What kind of map are you going to make with the mythic maps? :D

Halo wars is fuckin awsome, and although it isn’t doing as well as other halo games there are usually around 8000 people online at a given time, making it a very successful game. that 8000 is just the people on Xbox live too, that doesn’t include the people playing private games, skirmishes, and the campaign (which is also FUCKING AWSOME) so all you Halowars haters don’t recognise one of the best RTS games EvEr

Eh? If you complete it on Legendary, after the credits roll there’s another video… It’s about 10 seconds long and shows the Chief, still alive, on a ship approaching some unknown planet.

If that’s not the setup for a sequel I don’t know what is.

haha i would try to say something about paul but he’s getting chewed out enough, first off halo 3 is amazing, its a must have, afro samurai is garbage, who wants to play as a black ninja? ninjas are Asians blacks are gang related, halo 3 also is better than halo wars, although halo wars is a great game. i guess its what you have taste in and if you were a halo fan (paul) you’d appreciate both games and not resort to talkin trash about a game, i mean how old are you? honestly haha rofl!

Afro samurai sucks ass. Halo wars sucks ass too. They jacked up that game by making everything suck dick. Halo 3 kicks way more ass and that is why halo odst will do the same. by the way paul FUCK YOU
