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

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

It better not be a rebate code, because that would suck.[/quote]
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
Its still 3 months away. Game packaging has been changed in that amount of time (hopes; it'd be really awesome for a bunch of my friends to get DRM free [and free money wise] Mythic Maps).

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Thanks for the update! Sort of. ;)

.

Is it just me, or is this the same thing that happened with fable 2 (another game from microsoft game studios)? Loads of people pre-ordered the LCE version, for the free pub-game code and in-game content and stuff, and then there has been loads of problems with people not being able to get the pub games because there aren't enough codes, or people not getting the codes or whatever. In fact, even Banjo Kazooie: nuts and bolts has an offer where if you pre-order it, you get a code for the original banjo kazooie on live arcade. If, the mythic maps are downloadable via a code for halo wars LCE i hope there won't be the problems that fable 2 has been having...

This is pretty stupid, I'd see the point if Halo Wars was a Bungie game but it's not. So I guess I won't be playing on the Mythic maps until they're released on the Marketplace.

Hey Luke I have a question for you.

In the last Bungie podcast you guys said that the Mythic map pack will come packaged along with Halo: Recon. Is that still true?

Thanks for the info. Keep up the good work.

Luke i think this is unfair on us halo fans from England due to the release date being a month after the USA release. How will we be able to get maps b4 the game releases. Does this possibly mean the release date will be changed over here???

I'm excited for the maps to come out , everything seems to be coming out so late. Halo 3: Recon comes out next year! I think thats to long.

This is awsome! Can't wait to see how the other maps look.

  • 11.06.2008 11:53 AM PDT

"Affirmative. I poked one. It was dead."

I planned on getting Halo Wars anyhow... but... spending an extra $20 for 3 maps. Eek. Sure it has a few other bells and whistles, but I think I'll buy the cheap version and wait for the maps. If it had been ALL of the "Mythic" maps, then I could maybe see spending the extra $20.

  • 11.06.2008 12:01 PM PDT

But I suppose it is still good news, we've got a rough release date before we've even seen all the maps!

This morning Microsoft Games Studios announced that the long-awaited Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack, which includes Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox, will be attached to the Halo Wars Limited Collector's edition. That retail product is due in February of 2009. 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. More details as soon as we have them, Internet!


I'm coining the phrase "Bungie fail" now. It may now be applied to any and all game developing/marketing fail from here on out.

  • 11.06.2008 12:23 PM PDT

Awesome. That will be great.

  • 11.06.2008 12:34 PM PDT

NO, LUKE. I BLAME YOU!

Anyways... I'm glad that we kinda know when the maps will be released. I'll definitely buy the Limted Collector's Edition (That's a long name, ammirite?) of Halo Wars, but it's a bit disappointing that we'll have to wait that long for HALF of the Mythic Map pack.

@Geegs30

I think the maps are going to have to be on their own seperate disc. How would you be able to redeem a code for the maps on the Marketplace? You can only do that for M$ points.

  • 11.06.2008 1:36 PM PDT

If the maps don't appear on the marketplace within a couple of weeks of Halo Wars release I will be extremely disappointed, pissed off even. I have no interest in playing Halo Wars, I just want new content for Halo 3.

If anyone is now considering buying Halo Wars purely to get the Halo 3 maps early, you're an idiot and you're part of the problem. You're the people that are giving Microsoft free reign to bend over the Halo fanbase like this.

  • 11.06.2008 1:40 PM PDT

This "news" item has too little info in it to get excited or upset about. Just another tease that will create an assload of assumptions and a firestorm of fury across the bungie forums.

So we only get 3 maps? what i dont get it

  • 11.06.2008 2:13 PM PDT

My Youtube Channel. For Gameplays and Montages.

This frustrates me. So now I will be forced to buy a whole new game to get the map packs when they first come out instead of paying for them on Live. I just hope that you guys do it right and release the maps as close to simultaneous on Live as you can.

I can't see myself playing Halo Wars that much so it would be like a $70 map pack. Just not gonna happen. Marketing ploy to get people to buy Halo Wars. Be honest it was Microsoft's idea right?
