Mythic Map Pack news

[fiery]

This morning Microsoft Games Studios announced that the long-awaited Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack, which includes Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox, will be attached to the Halo Wars Limited Collector's edition. That retail product is due in February of 2009. If Halo Wars isn't your cup of tea, rest assured, we're doing everything we can to get these maps on Xbox Live Marketplace as soon as possible after Halo Wars hits retail shelves.

So the earliest way to get the Mythic Maps is to buy the Halo Wars Collectible Edition ($80). Soon after its release, though, the maps will be available for purchase on XBL possibly for 800 ms points.

I just realized there is a similar thread already posted:

Yes!!! Finally they tell us about the release date.But theres only 3 maps in the map pack, what about the other three:( There in the achievements

Uhhhh... Halo Wars sounds like a "chess " game of stratagy which does not go under my favorate things to do. I would rather mindless killing on user created maps, noscoping or tebagging.

Either way Bungie's atempt to make more money on Halo 4 is futile because nobody is going to spend $80 to play 3 maps nomatter how epic they sound.

I'll just wait for Mythic. Halo Wars isn't worth it in my opinion.

Thats funny because Halo originally began as an RTS....and then turned into a 3rd person shooter...and then finally turned into the first person shooter we all know and love. So if anything, Halo Wars is going back to the very origins of Halo.

This is true. Bungie said this in a behind the scenes thing i watched once. I love Starcraft, and i love halo, so theres no reason this spin off wont be amazing to me. I'll be getting it.

meh, im not a big RTS fan.. so ill have to wait for the mythic map pack. If Sandbx was gonna be in it, Id probably buy it.. but its not, so its a no go for me

On last nights update they also said that information about the maps will come out probably not on a friday, so probably a tuesday or thursday. As to the other 3 maps (heretic, longshore, and ummm the other one), they really didn't say when they will come out.

What's funny is Bungie isn't even making this game.
This game may not be that great, I like RTS's, but this one has me skeptical if anything.
