The release of the Mythic 2 Map Pack brings the total number of “Halo
3” multiplayer maps to 24. The Game Add-on includes three action-packed maps:
Heretic, Citadel and Longshore.
Heretic
brings players to familiar ground as the “Halo 2” arena Midship returns in
“Halo 3.” The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear austere on
first glance, but Heretic’s symmetrical spaces require players to execute
complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents.
Citadel may
be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines
are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking
for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to stay in constant
communication, keep their heads on a swivel, and be prepared to adjust combat
tactics in close quarters.
Longshore
lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa,
but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large-scale combat and
well-suited for smaller affairs, Longshore’s multitude of industrial buildings,
elevated walks, and open inlets conspire to create a complex battleground
tailored for multiple combat scenarios.
Mythic 2 Map Pack will be available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft
Points. Mythic Map Pack 1 and 2 are also included in “Halo 3: ODST,” which
includes the complete “Halo 3” multiplayer map collection, an all-new campaign
and the incredibly popular cooperative experience, Firefight. “Halo 3: ODST”
will act as a key to the upcoming “Halo: Reach” multiplayer beta which goes
live later this spring.
