I was ready to post this in it's own thread, but since this came out why not. This update was amazing. Read this, EVERYONE.
Bungie's planz. Seriously:
Halo: Mythic theory (I conceived this, but I noticed that other intellectual members have as well)
I believe that Halo: Mythic will be released as an expansion disk, much like the ones Oblivion had. It will be download-able to your 360's Hard Drive for 2400($30)maybe more, Microsoft Points or bought in a store for $30 (once again, maybe more)
Halo: Mythic will pretty much bring all map packs and auto-updates to those without Xbox Live.
It will contain SIX NEW MAPS:
•Assembly (shown at PAX, Covenant themed)
•Sandbox (The blank editor/Forge 2.0 map in the Bungie EDGE acceptance speech video)
•Orbit (Currently known as Moonbase Alpha, set on a human space station)
•Citadel (Covenant Themed map)
•Heretic (Covenant/Brute Themed map)
•Longshore (Spiritual Successor to Relic from Halo 2 and others, Human or Forerunner Themed map)
There ARE Achievements for these skulls, which could infer that they are hidden in a level, or an extended campaign of 2-6 levels picking up off of the Legendary extended ending.
Obviously, that will up the price a bit. If a campaign extension is true, it will cost $40-$60
Speaking of new achievements
The 750G: Microsoft figured that this is a special occasion, so they granted 250G per DLC (map packs) released so far, plus the Mythic DLC which is another 250G.I was there at PAX, and I have seen around a hundred photos of the dashboard blade showing these. They are real, not photo shopped.
There are 250G dedicated to the Legendary Map Pack, 250G dedicated to the Mythic Map Pack, and 250G dedicated to current campaign missions.
There will be NO NEW ARMOR with these achievements.
The Auto-Update #2 is happening a while before this is released.
There is no Mythic Map Pack. The Halo: Mythic Expansion Pack IS that.
Over the next two to three months, we will get a look at the remaining FIVE maps (Assembly is the 6th) coming packaged with it. Around one map every one to two weeks, actually.
Once all are revealed, the Mythic Expansion will go live three to four weeks afterwards.
Expect this before the end of the year.
This is what Bungie has been planning for us,
Sorry, Bungie. Time to come clean.
Better go re-do most of that update, lukems. =)
