Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore. If these are mythic maps, why aren't they in the so called "Mythic Map pack"? If they aren't mythic maps, then bungie is going to have to send out another update before we can even think of unlocking any achievements relating to these maps. What I'm guessing is that there is a "Mythic map pack part 2" or "Mythic Map expansion pack" that will come out with Halo 3: ODST later this fall. When they are released, what are they going to name the map pack? I personally think the two names listed above are completely retarded and would ruin the naming of the maps. So, what will bungie do? I personally think that bungie is unpredictable, maybe Halo 3: ODST is part of the seventh step to ruling the world. But hell, what do you guys think?
They put the new mythic maps in the Easy Map Pack. They already have normal, heroic, legendary, and mythic. It's all that's left! Seriously, they did say it would be part of ODST. I'm guessing they're doing to ODST what they did with Halo Wars, and selling the maps standalone a month later. So I think your sorta right. I am interested in seeing what they name them.
They said they're just going to be in H3:ODST with all the other maps, and that's it. So I doubt they're planning on releasing them. Then again, some people may not get ODST so they could release them a few weeks later on the Marketplace.
Can you give me a link to where they said this? I do not remember them saying just ODST. I remember them saying to be released with ODST. Not just with ODST.
wow, looks like i spurred up an actual conversation, nice! XD anyways, in response to redearth. If they do make them a separate map pack, they'd probably name it something like ODST Map pack or something cause it's coming out with ODST not just with ODST. and if they did, they'd have to make an TU3 (Title Update 3) since the achievements refer to the maps as if they were the mythic map pack.
I remember them saying that the other maps are just going to be released with Halo 3:ODST. I recall I saw this in the first or second preview of the Mythic Map Pack that bungie released to the public. About what they are going to call it, maybe it still is the Mythic Map Pack but it is not going to be released until the new game comes out. If this is so, then they wouldn't have to make another update. And remember, Halo 3:ODST is a expansion pack in itself so with the purchase of the game, the achievements from halo 3 and ODST will be combined together.
does it REALLY matter what the map pack is called? either way, you'll be getting a set of 3 badass new maps... They will come with ODST, as well as become available on the marketplace... Just like these maps are with Halo Wars. They have explained this several times.
Exactly, ODST has no multiplayer. Anyone that says it comes for ODST or its only availible for ODST has not read very many of the updates. ODST is like an expansion pack. All it is is a kickass campaign, some achievements, and a menu on its own CD. The only possible multiplayer for it is co-op which bungie hasn't finalized anyway. So. In other words, what thesilencebroken said, It's gonna be like halo wars. They send the code for Halo 3 with the game. Simple. But, I care about the map pack name.
They could call it iron map pack... It would fit Iron is the hardest skull in the game so probally Iron map pack.
it just sounds wierd. bungie always puts kickass labels on their stuff, so why put a lame name on a map pack?
Bungie has no planning to do other than finalizing on the Halo 3 maps. They have no need to change the name. It's the mythic map pack already been said by Bungie themselves.They just decided to put Heretic, Longshore and Citadel with Halo 3:ODST so players will find the game more appealing and may think of buying for the maps. And i heard the other maps come with game to so i guess they are the Mythic Map if they come with Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox.
Never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. The next three maps to come out will be called, surprise surprise the Mythic Map pack. Because it is the rest of the maps included in the mythic map pack. Look at your achievements. Particularly the Vidmaster: Brain Pan achievement. Find all the skulls on the Mythic maps. Now if the next three maps were going to be called something else, why do I not have this achievement? I've found all the skulls on the current maps. Also, Stcikmanmayhem, ODST will have multiplayer, it will just tag in with the current Halo 3 online experience. So you will be able to play with either the Halo 3: ODST expansion disk in or the original Halo 3 disk. Both work the same way in regards to multiplayer. Bungie said as much in one of the earlier weekly updates regarding ODST.
In school, you'd fail open-book tests... And I don't remember bungie saying the multiplayer on Halo 3 would be accessible from the ODST disk. I'm sorry for my mistake.
Does anyone remember the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack disk that you could buy, pop in your Xbox, and download the maps with? I don't think Bungie will even bother with codes when they can just put the maps on the H3: ODST disk. Besides, all of the Mythic maps will come on the disk, so Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox will join the likes of Citadel (indoor forerunner-structure map), Heretic (Midship), and Longshore (large outdoor urban map).
spoiler of the 2 part to the mythic maps in halo3 odst I just found out that Heretic is going to be a remake of Midship. Citadel will be a remake of the campaign mission the covenant from halo3, and longshore will be a remake from halo2 campaign mission on the mission were you drive the worthog from the human looking structures.
They aren't in the Mythic Map Pack because Microsoft thought it would make more money if it was attached to ODST. What do you mean by 'having to release another update'? I don't think they need a name for the new maps seeing as they probably won't be released to the marketplace.
