For the person who has to have everything there is to play in Halo 3 but doesn’t like real-time strategy, there’s still something to be had by purchasing Halo Wars.
As previously reported (before the game’s release was pushed back, mind), the Halo Wars Limited Collector’s Edition will also be coming with the “Mythic Map Pack” for players of Halo 3. Those not into HW will still be able to get it on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, but at an unspecified later date.
Here are the details on the map pack itself:
The three maps included in the pack are Sandbox, Assembly, and Orbital. A copy of Halo 3 is required to play the new maps.
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. — VideoGamer.com
