If for some bizarre reason you are a Halo fan who didn’t buy Halo 3: ODST then you know that you don’t have all the multiplayer maps. Mythic Map Pack 2 as it’s being called was included on the second disc in ODST. So now that you’ve had enough time to decide you aren’t buying ODST, Microsoft is putting Mythic Map Pack 2 up on Xbox Live Marketplace, February 2nd. No official word on pricing, but since all the other ones have been 800 points we can’t imagine why this one wouldn’t be as well. You want details on the maps? Ok, straight from the press release.
- Heretic brings players to familiar ground as the “Halo 2” arena Midship returns in “Halo 3.” The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on first glance, but Heretic’s symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
- Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat tactics in close quarters.
- Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large-scale combat and well-suited for smaller affairs, Longshore’s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
So go get em late bloomers! We’re rooting for you! The image came from this Destructoid article.
