Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Dated for March 3, 2009

Microsoft and Bungie have released details on their upcoming Mythic Map Pack expansion for Halo 3 that will be included with Halo Wars when it releases March 3, 2009. Three maps will be available in the Mythic expansion: Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox.

Sandbox
Combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, build your own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

Assembly
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-favourites, but the Slayer faithful will also find plenty of action on this battleground.

Microsoft have announced that the Mythic Map Pack will also be made available on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace on March 3rd as well, rather than having to wait.
