Halo 3's Mythic Map Pack Shows up on the Marketplace

Halo 3's Mythic Map Pack Shows up on the Marketplace
Written Thursday, February 26, 2009 by James Parkin

Thanks to a little tip on Twitter, we just found out that the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack is up on the marketplace. Great news, right? Wrong.

LINK

If you try and download the pack you're prompted with, "This offer is not valid in your region, or it has expired."

Which is true, but isn't. The downloadable content will only be unlocked by a redemption code, either coming from a promotional giveaway (see Joystiq's from earlier this week), from someone you know at Microsoft/Bungie, or your Halo Wars CE perk.

Regardless, we do find out that the maps come in at 328MB.

Here's the blurb on the pack on Xbox.com:

The long-awaited Mythic Map Pack drops into Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Investigate Orbital’s abandoned hallways - before it was evacuated, the Quito Space Tether was heralded as the “Civil Engineering Monument of the Millennium.” Witness Assembly, where Scarab hulls loom overhead, being decontaminated in preparation for the city-sized Lekgolo colonies that will breathe life into the massive metal husks. An excavation site surrounded by deadly Forerunner defenses, the mysteries of Sandbox are hidden high above, deep below, and right before your eyes. There are no refunds for this item. For more information, see www.xbox.com/live/accounts.

Any news when this will be available to those who:
A) didn't win a promotional giveaway
B) don't have the hookup with Microsoft/Bungie
or
C) don't have a Halo Wars CE Perk?

Why spend any money on these maps? Either get Halo Wars, or wait for Halo 3: ODST.

I'm getting Halo Wars (But not with the maps)

I'll be gettin' it with Halo 3:ODST.

This is BS. Making us buy Halo Wars LE to have their COMPLETED maps or we wait a month. Crackdown much?

@Thrall320

You DONT get these maps with Halo 3: ODST, only the 3 other halo 3 maps that are currently unavailable (and will only be available through ODST). The only way to get these three maps is with the current 3 methods available or to buy them when the do come out.

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:17:52 PM

@16

You DO get these maps ith Halo ODST, it ships all the 24 maps released to that point

Comment #27 by W A R 89
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:19:08 PM

@Veles.

Bungie already confirmed that all the DLC maps will be shipped with ODST.

Comment #28 by Reaper_Grim
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:27:32 PM

pardon the gripe but one would think that bungie would hook up halo 3 players that have been loyal to the franchise. If the maps ever become free...then i'll download em. IMO Bungie is losing a lot of it's fanbase.

Gimme Mythic maps now!

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:47:11 PM

Hang on its says the maps are free on the website, does that mean they will be free when you are able to download them on the XBL marketplace

Comment #31 by JesusBread
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:52:51 PM

I suggest Bungie let me download the maps if they want my $10...

Comment #32 by Flyn Dutchmn
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 03:55:33 PM

I think we've waited long enough for new maps.....just a tease putting them up. If I'm willing to spend money on them, I should be able to get them as soon as anyone else.

Woot i got my halo wars LE pre ordered. after i play the game all day thursday im gonna play halo 3 mythic maps and read my graphic novel! HUZZAH!

Comment #34 by spilner100
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 04:24:41 PM

i was gunna get halo wars with the code but i heard that there is 3 more maps coming after mythic, which ALL come in the halo 3 ODST game later this year

Comment #35 by Megawilhelm
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 04:27:38 PM

I've got it and it's great.
If anyone wanted it badly enough, they would just get Halo Wars LE.
Most Halo fans will be getting the game anyway, so it wont be a problem for us :)

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 04:51:23 PM

Damn. That just reminds me that I'm going to be spending more money then I'd like on video-games within the next week. Street Fighter IV and Halo Wars...

Comment #37 by Khaos86
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 04:53:47 PM

Sandbox is by far the best looking map ever, like 3 maps in one really.

March 3rd, Halo Wars LE set aside, and into bliss I go.

Comment #38 by d00gler
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 05:03:12 PM

Not worth the extra money to buy just these maps IMO, I wish I didn't buy the Legendary pack

And i got Halo wars CE, cant wait! :)

These maps are great. I got them today from Halo Wars.

Comment #41 by General Khazard
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 05:25:26 PM

I love all the people bitching about this claiming the the maps should be free or they should be available right now to everyone.

a) They should NOT be free because they took time and effort to produce, test, and tweak. This means they also cost Bungie MONEY to make them, and they are an EXPANSION to the game (not just some update). Considering all that, I'm surprised anyone is ignorant enough to demand the maps for free...

b) They are being released early to Halo Wars LCE customers as a PROMOTION. Wouldn't work so well if they just made them widely available at the same time, would it? Also, getting the LCE of Halo Wars saves you money as opposed to buying them separately, considering all the other stuff that comes with the LCE (graphic novel and guide book alone make it worth getti

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 05:35:19 PM

All that said, I've seen previews for all three maps from various sources, and I'm definitely looking forward to playing on them after I get and beat Halo Wars Tuesday!

"*Three New Halo 3 Multiplayer Maps: Be one of the first to experience the Mythic Map Pack from Bungie, which includes three new maps, Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox.
**Halo Wars: Genesis: This beautiful graphic novel by Phil Noto, Graeme Devine, and Eric Nylund chronicles the first military campaign against the Covenant. The novel centers around the Spirit of Fire on a mission to discover why the Covenant are so interested in the world of Harvest.
***Unique In-Game Vehicle: Command the " Honor Guard" Wraith.

*****As an added bonus, fans eager for their chance to battle the Covenant will be able to pre-order Halo Wars and receive a pre-order card to download a special in-game Warthog vehicle with flame decals from select participating retailers."

*New Maps, not worth paying 80 bucks to get them. I can wait
**A comic Book that you will read once and then it will end up under your bed.
***NO WAY!!! (Sarcasm), It does not do anything special, the skin is red...
****A patch for a video game, you sure are a cool dude putting that in your bag/jacket.
*****NO WAY! Same thing goes for this one, diff skin.

So they are basically giving you a shit game and adding some garbage except for the new maps. I love halo 3 but the fact that it is an RTS, RTS=CP. I am also not a big fan or RTS games so 1

Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 06:57:37 PM

so 1 more reason not to buy it, SF4 CE=Win. And a much better game than Halo Wars. (IMO)

@46 your joking right? i play it once a month and theres always 200k-300k people playing.. you must be talking about the first Halo then...

I am buying the halo wars limited edition for £45. Yay. I have already sold the mythic map's for £35 and sold the flamming warthog code for £15. I ended up getting the game for free ! I will just buy the mythic map's for 800 ms point's once there released. Lol.
I'm smart ;) !!!!!!!

Comment #66 by joshua777777
Thursday, February 26, 2009 @ 11:06:09 PM

Sorry to double post !
I have been told the mythic map's are becoming avaliable in march. Bungie only did it to get more people to buy halo wars because its not that popular.

I'm another "getting the regular Wars, so I'll wait a few more months and get it with ODST." I mean, why pay for it twice? We waited a year since the last map pack release, what is another six months or so?

Comment #79 by Darren Ford
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 06:49:11 AM

The maps are brill!! Guys if you want both the maps and Halo Wars id recommend the limited edition, think about it £5-£10 more which is what your paying for the maps essentially, of which will probibly cost around £15 in ms points apon release. =D

Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 12:44:40 PM

For the people who ask why people expect them for free, they probably grew up on PC games. Just look at TF2 today, Valve continues to release steady free DLC for that game on the PC. Whether it be free maps, weapons, achievements, or entire new game modes. With them when you buy a game you get everything that comes with it.

Comment #108 by DemonI81
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 02:25:40 PM

Wow, 99999MS points huh? Guess they put that so no one would try to buy it.

@ #107
That's beyond lame. That happened with the LE of Fable II too. You'd think MS would hire trustworthy people to package the game. Then again, they're probably going with the lowest bidder. Maybe some day they'll realize that'll cost them more money in the end.

Comment #109 by Zmoke
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 02:30:50 PM

Awesome!
I'll download the maps the day they're released via Marketplace purchase! Some guys might think, "it's only 3 maps" but actually we will be seeing dozens of maps when the Forge editors make own variations out of Sandbox!

Remember, Foundry have had dozens of map variations in Matchmaking too. Then Sandbox, which is Foundry in the next level should give us much more.

Even without editing all three of them are awesome and really varying. For example, Assembly is the first Covenant map in Halo 3.

Comment #111 by ell635
Friday, February 27, 2009 @ 04:26:39 PM

Lets face it, ignore those free code giveaways after that competition - that was Bungie's way of giving codes to companies like Rooster Teeth and MLG who could promote the Map Pack before release. These people probably didnt even try for this competition, and if they did, they chose them out purposely.

And then Bungie sugar coat this BS, by trying to act like they're good to their community.

They are, but that was total BS. Get it with Halo Wars LCE, and if not, you can forget waiting for Halo 3: ODST, nobodys patient enough for that shit. You'll probably be able to buy it from the Marketplace for 800 big ones in a weeks time.

Bungie is really good for its community - they even gave us that extra map Cold Storage for free.
Anyways, I'd recommend not to wait until Halo 3: ODST (even though it'll be a must-buy game). I the people who like Halo Wars should buy that LCE as you'll get other bonus stuff as well like some flaming Warthog to be used Halo Wars etc.
I, personally will buy it via Marketplace though because I'm not that big fan of Halo Wars.

Halo 3 is Gaylo 3. Bungie is just trying to milk their success off of this mediocre game as much as they can for all the little kids and halo addicts out there. Not buying this.

Did I mention Halo 3 was the most over-hyped X360 game ever even though it did not diserve it?

What's the Halo Wars CE? Is it when you reserve a copy of Halo Wars? I think the Mythic map pack comes out when halo wars does...

Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Details Are Out Added by Brad Shoemaker on Jan. 30, 200962 comments

Still alive!Ready for some new Halo 3 multiplayer maps? If you said "yes," Bungie has got you covered. New descriptions and media are out for the contents of the "Mythic" map pack which is due on Xbox Live Marketplace March 3 here in America (and a few days earlier in Asia and Europe).

Don't forget, you can also snag Mythic if you pony up the $79.99 for the sprawling Halo Wars Collector's Edition. Doesn't look like you'll get the maps any earlier, but at least you won't have to pay for 'em.

As much as I enjoyed Halo 3

The maps should atleast be on the market place right now . And plus 600 or 800 points way too much for a map pack . Lets see over 25 mil people have played halo and lets say at least 10 mil buy the map packs at 10 $ a piece . So it takes Bungie 100 mil to build these maps I don't think so , Microsoft and Bungie are ripping people off

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
