Subject: Halo 3's Mythic Map Pack included on Halo Wars LCE

The good news is that the Mythic Maps sort of have a release date.

What happened to the other three Mythic maps?

Also, how does this affect the achievements as Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore are stated as Mythic maps?

Ok so you only get the 3 mythic maps (and also Halo Wars: Genesis graphic novel, and some limited in-game content) with the limited content edition (LCE) of halo wars not from the normal retail version, and from having a quick look at http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/55777 it looks like it'll probably cost $79.99 (£49.99). Hmm, I'm tempted to buy it...

Edit: Also, if anyone wants to have a look, theres a bit more info on xbox.com (here)

What does LCE mean? Is it a limited edition version of halo wars?

More information about that.

  • 11.06.2008 10:26 AM PDT

Sooo, you kinda make us buy halo wars, haha

  • 11.06.2008 10:31 AM PDT

I love how the maps have nothing to do with LCE, yet you have to buy the game to get them. At least initially.

Thanks spartan :).
I also noticed the description only mentions Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox, what about the 3 other (presumably) mythic maps, Citadel, Heretic and Longshore?

  • 11.06.2008 10:34 AM PDT

Remember Reach?

THATS another GOOD reason to buy "halo wars" :D:D

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

that is BS, i cant play any discs now (only CDs, not DVDs or games), and my parents wont buy me a new xbox

if anybody could help me that would be sooooo coooll
So what does it matter how you get the maps? You can't play Halo 3 anyway.

EDIT: I assume this means the achievements will need to be reworked? Cold Storage isn't considered a Legendary map for the purposes of the achievements, so if the other 3 are in their own release, will they need their achievements reworked?

The Sentinel Beam isn't excluded from Matchmaking due to any performance concerns. It's excluded because it's ridiculous. It may as well be firing super-accelerated clowns. - Shishka

February? This is getting ridiculous M$!

so not only are we waiting til next year to get the maps but we have to buy a completely unrelated game to get them. thats pretty -blam!-

  • 11.06.2008 10:49 AM PDT

completely unrelated

I'd say a HALO game is reasonably related to HALO 3.

Wow... now I'm not even interested in Halo Wars....
You know when someone wants to introduce you to a girl a little too hard... tells you how "nice" she is... how she has nice values?

I call it the Red Alert 3 Effect.
Now I get the feeling you yourself are insecure about the value of that game.

I like 3D shooters and RTS are probably my least favorite genre after driving games.
You dont understand us, you can't possibly understand what we want.

Actually, its a pretty good move. Unless its a rebate code you use online, its likely to be on a disk. That means those maps will be DRM free (like the Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack retail disk). That means one copy of Halo Wars LCE will give maps to any xbox 360 console that it goes to.

It better not be a rebate code, because that would suck.

No, we don't have to buy halo wars LCE to get the maps, they will be downloadable from the marketplace sometime afterwards.

"If Halo Wars isn't your cup of tea, rest assured, we're doing everything we can to get these maps on Xbox Live Marketplace as soon as possible after Halo Wars hits retail shelves."

I think it is crap that bungie can already be done with these maps...they can be ready for release...and microsoft won't let them release it. The only reason they won't is because they want you to go and buy the new games and then later release the maps to bring you back after they soaked up your money on other stuff. Bungie should be able to release stuff when they want.

Three New Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps: Be one of the first to experience the Mythic Map Pack from Bunglie, which includes three new maps, Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox.
Bunglie?

Does this mean the Mythic maps will be in two parts? Other wise people will be paying for 3 maps they already have, won't they?

I don't think it'll be a disc. That picture on the Xbox site (link above) looks like it only has the 1 disc, then lots of books. So no chance of getting the map disc on ebay :P
