Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Release Date

News | March 21, 2009 9:43 am
Xbox America has been receiving hundreds of visitors searching for information about the release date for Halo 3's upcoming Mythic Map Pack, and while no new information has been revealed, I feel it necessary to post this article to inform these countless visitors.

The map pack will likely be available on the Xbox Live Marketplace on Thursday, April 9th. To find out how we reached that conclusion, keep reading.

The map pack will first be available to purchasers of the Halo Wars Limited Collector's Edition as quoted by bungie.net:


Should you choose to purchase the Halo Wars Limited Collector's Edition, you'll be able to play all three maps that comprise the Mythic Map Pack as soon as Halo Wars hits retail shelves in late February or early March, depending on what region you call home.





Microsoft has since confirmed Halo Wars's release date in the United States to be March 3rd, so those of you already buying Halo Wars and the hardcore among you will be able to get it as early as two weeks from now. The rest of us frugal gamers hopefully won't have to suffer too horrifically as Bungie has said:


After Halo Wars LCE hits retailers, your wait won't be too much longer than the span of time between the Gettysburg's departure for Earth to warn of the Covenant invasion and Regret's slipspace jump out of the skies above New Mombasa. Afterwards, you'll be able to plunk down 800 Marketplace Points for your very own copy of the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3.





Those of you who are familiar with the details of the Halo story will know that the Gettysburg left for Earth September 13th, and the Prophet of Regret made his slip space jump on October 20th. That creates an estimated five weeks between the release of Halo Wars and when the map pack will be available on the Marketplace. Considering how most releases are on Tuesdays, there is a strong possibility for the pack to be available for download on April 7th.

Update: It looks like April 9th is more probable now:


Looks like we're ready to wrap up yet another week. If you're heading off to GDC, we hope to see you there. Step on up, shake our hands, but please, no creepy stuff. There's only so much antibacterial to go around at a conference of this size.

If we don't see you there, feel free to hang out around Bungie.net. We'll make sure the standard routine stays in check. You make sure you stay safe and Stay Tuned.

P.S. 04/09/09






Update 2: The April 9th release date has been confirmed.

Cool. Now is this all six maps? Because I heard that three were being released like this, and then the other three were being released at a later time.

I was able to find new information and my two week estimate was way off. It looks like we're looking at five weeks instead. I guess Bungie really wants to provide an incentive to buy Halo Wars.

Yeah, The Mythic Map Pack is made up of the maps Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox. Three other maps, Heretic; Citadel and Longshore, have been announced but will be a part of Halo: ODST coming late this year.

All right, got it. So their pulling the same thing with the other three maps, just with ODST instead of Halo Wars. Got it. Don't really want to wait 5 weeks after Halo Wars, but don't really want to buy it.

I know! I'll buy Halo Wars, enter the code, then return it to Gamestop for a decent amount. Ehh... that's desperate. LOL

yeah why does halo 3 have 1700 points where all others can only have 1250.



Fallout 3 is supposedly going to surpass the 1750 barrier when all of its dlc is released.
