Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack

[McGowan]

So in a recent interview on EuroGamer.net Bungie's Brian Jarrard said this: "we do have a Mythic map pack that's coming out early next year. There hasn't been an exact release date set for that."

This filled me with nothing but sadness.
Early next year?!
Best estimates and educated guesses had this map pack coming out in November. The best speculation being November 25th, the 7th anniversary of Halo: Combat Evolved.

Now I love Halo and I cannot wait for Halo 3: Recon or the Mythic Maps but come on Bungie!
You can't give me 20 achievements for 6 maps and then tell me to wait 4 months for them when everything hints that they'll be out before Christmas!

A true shame but there's nothing I can do except wait and hope they're out sooner than 2009.

Ok, more dismaying news.

Microsoft plans to release Halo Wars next February, in both Standard and Limited Collector's Edition guise... Included will be early access to the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3, bizarrely, featuring the Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox areas.




So in February we get *early* access to half the Mythic Maps. My line of logic here is that this hints that the Mythic map pack won't be out as early in '09 as 'early 09' would suggest.

Bollocks laa.

To say this saddens me would be a massive understatement! What the fuck is taking it so long?!!!!!!! That's just unfair, they should not have unleashed all the achievements in a bundle, promised so much more then we were given!

Want that mythic la!

Also I keep forgetting i need the lieutenant vid master and splatter spree...I do not play halo as much as i should la!

However now gears 2 is out the multiplayer will be dead for a while

Ha ha ha, fuck off.

Gears 2 will be massive online (probably overtake CoD 4 as Live's most played game) but it won't take enough players from Halo to class it as 'dead'.

Unless you mean our friends as three of them will be playing Gears instead.
