Mythic Mappack

 

(Confirmed) Maps in the Mythic Mappack are Assembly, Orbital, Longshore, Heretic, Sandbox, and Citadel. Six maps Total.

(Unconfirmed) These Maps might be on a Separate Disc.

(Confirmed) Each map is featured a Hidden Skull.

(Confirmed) The Mappack contains maps that are required to unlock the new released Achievements made by bungie.

[!](Un/Confirmed) The Mappack is gonna be split 3 and 3 and Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox will ship with Halo Wars Limited Edition According to what Halowars.com says, but Heretic, Citadel, and Longshore may not .

 

Assembly

Assembly is a Covenant Themed Map that might be a section on High Charity that constructs Scarabs. On the map, you can see Scarabs moving in a automated beam. The map is focused on competitive playing, as it is multi-story arena-style map. It features two "somewhat enclosed" bases, with one-way mirrors on the second floor (like those in interrogation rooms), where players will be able to look out, but players outside will be unable to see in. The map itself is bowl shaped, sloping toward the center. This bottom floor is dotted with pillars and walls for cover. It has an outer rim with four bridges that connect to the two-story center structure, and has small structures on the rim intended as high ground. There's a Energy Side and a Hunter Side opposite from each other for a Good Objective game. The Skull on there described to have hunter worms

[!](Confirmed) This Map will ship with the Halo Wars Limited Edition in February.

 

Orbital

This map takes place on a Abandoned Space Station. Possibly a remake of the previous space terrain maps, like Elongation from H2, Boarding Action from H1, and Cairo Station from H2 Campaign. One part of the map has a deadly chasm, which can be easily traversed once it is "unlocked". This could mean that part of the map is in the vacuum of space. Orbital has several such locks and "switches to disable and enable access to various parts of the map". This could theoretically mean that it is a remake/spiritual successor of Boarding Action, with some sort of possible switch to a bridge or something of the sort to link the ships. Orbital has been described as cleanly beautiful, yet haunting and having signs of abrupt abandonment. The Skull on there is described to have a symbol of a Space Station or some sort.

[!](Unconfirmed) description: With a lot of situational awareness, and a little luck, hopefully the only thing you will lose is your luggage. 4-12 players.

[!](Confirmed) This Map will ship with the Halo Wars Limited Edition in February.

 

Sandbox

Sandbox is a map that is rumored to be a Upgraded Foundry. This is might be the Mother of all Forge Maps. There was no confirms that this might be this map editor that was seen in some acceptance videos of Bungie but more updates will come. The Skull on there has a symbol of a Monitor like "343 Guilty Spark", so its a clue that this is the mother of all Forge.

[!](Unconfirmed) description: This endless wasteland still holds many secrets. Some of them are held more deeply than others. 4-12 players

[!](Unconfirmed) This map might be set at another Desert location, like Sandtrap

[!](Confirmed) This Map will ship with the Halo Wars Limited Edition in February.

 

Longshore

[!] Longshore is said to take place in Old Mombasa (Confirmed by Lars) and its a BTB map. The waters of Longshore seems to be a Graveyard of UNSC carriers, Pelicans, Longswords, and other planes. There're maroon dinghies with small engines at a part of the map and it looks like they didn't change boat tech in 500 years. Longshore is almost a similarity of Headlong. Theres a 2-Story building that appears to be Base one and there's another 2-Story building at the opposite of the map that is known as Base 2. A center structure is kind of like a warehouse/boat storage facility that separates the two bases, and there is up at the way top of this structure is an extendable bridge that drops on the roof of base 1. Lots of other buildings/crates/places to hide. One side of the map is all ocean, the other side is blocked by a large building that is part of the boat warehouse middle structure.

 

(Confirmed) takes place near a Ocean or Sea

(Unconfirmed) This might be the remake of Headlong (By the Fans) or Relic.

(Confirmed) Theres a Ghost on this map, according to the New H3 Achievements.

(Confirmed) The Skull on here is symboled of a fish with a harpoon stabbing through it.

[!](Unconfirmed) This map might be a remake of Death Island in Halo: Custom Edition.

[!](Unconfirmed) This map might not come with the Mythic Mappack

 

 

Citadel

[!] This map was LARGELY inspired by the level "The Covenant" when you were inside of the Forerunner structures, right after the battle with the Hunters who were below the elevator platform. When you have to go around and up an angled jump to battle a few brutes and buggers to get to the platform, that part is almost exactly in the map! It was really cool and was a good close quarters map. Two overshields spawn, and there is a central location with a small structure in the middle with Rockets on top. There are a lot of things hidden in here, very cool map.

 

(Unconfirmed) takes place possibly on somewhere on the Covenant Level on the H3 Campaign.

(Confirmed) Skull appears to have a forerunner symbol on it.

[!](Unconfirmed) This map might not come with the Mythic Mappack

 

 

Heretic

[!] Its a Remake of Midship that is less bouncy from the original Midship map. The map is also programmed with BR/Plasma Grenade start-out. Somewhere in the map, there's a Sky Box and there's a window that you look out from the Belly of the ship (Which you are on) and when you look out, you see acouple of Covenant Assault Carriers, and other ships moving towards a System and its possibly our Solar System. You can get a very good, Detailed view of the nearby ships. There's also a Planet nearby. The Energy Sword on here spawns somewhere that you use a Jump pad to get.

 

[!](Unconfirmed)Heretic might take place on either a Flood structure or a Covenant Separatists Structure.

[!](Confirmed) The Skull on there has the symbol of the Mark of Shame.

[!](Unconfirmed) It is rumored that this map is a remake of the map Gemini, or a flood-infested version of it.

[!](Unconfirmed) This map might not come with the Mythic Mappack.

Any rumored release dates? Nice post btw

[StevenSVE♥]

No Rumored release dates yet. If bungie didn't release any addtional info about the other maps besides orbital and assembly, then its probably be like awhile till they can release the mythic mappack.

[iBotPeaches]

Citedel is a fore runner structure, with the ascension man cannon. Its probably going to be a level in H3 Campaign but its meaning to represent a fore-runner structure.

[ZZmoddudeZZ]

You would think they would only be reachable and unlovable in custom and mm games being aloud to find them in forge would be two easy.

[ShadowHeir1]

Bungie announced in the 10/10/08 weekly update that "the maps will be released sometime early next year, what some people call winter" Odds are, that this is the 1/6/09 that people found in "keep it clean"
