Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack out on 9th April News

Xbox 360 News by Tom Bramwell

23 March, 2009

UPDATE: It's been pointed out by many, many people that 9th April is the release date for the Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3. So it's probably that, as announced by Microsoft this lunchtime. The three-map pack had previously only been available to people who bought Halo Wars, which is why we didn't think of it. Mondays should be banned.

ORIGINAL STORY: Bungie has hinted that something exciting, and presumably Bungie-related, will happen on 9th April, in its weekly website update.

Beyond the reams of interesting chatter about the new Halo 3 Wastelands level, tweaks to prevent "negative EXP boosting" online and a preview of a few technical GDC presentations, the developer gently teases: "P.S. 04/09/09".

Goodness knows what it refers to, but given that Halo 3: ODST is out in the open and the Mythic Map Pack likewise, and that Bungie is known to be working on non-Halo games, it's enough to pique our interest.

Stick it in the diary, we reckon. Or just let us worry about it and enjoy the surprise in two weeks' time. Better be good, Bungie! Probably don't mention it to Don this time, just to be on the safe side.

Awesome how bungie can even turn the reveal of a reveal of something we don't know anything about into a fuss. ;p

With a bungie/halo article? No, it takes zeal, dedication and having no life whatsoever to be first.

oh.

I bet its something totally non spectacular. Probably an announcement that the mythic map pack is going on sale from that point.

A new game or some gameplay footage from ODST would be sweet though.

It's probably something small. Like the god damned render to video feature which is oh soooooo late!

Surely they will announce that, because April 9th is my bithday, I have won life AND a lifetime subscription to all their future games. It's very newsworthy! ;)

Roll out, fanboys from both sides.

Can't wait to see what Bungie come up with next.

After completely revolutionising and dominating the console FPS genre it would be nice to see how they would take on another genre, but I'll be more than happy with another FPS. Their unrivalled gameplay, level creation and AI skills make whatever they produce a dream to play.

I just wish we could get more games per year from them!

I hope it's a new game where every level is like The Library from Halo.

But I don't want to buy the Mythic map pack if it comes free with ODST?

It's got to be the Marketplace release of Mythic Map Pack. They teased they'd reveal the date in the previous update, and they did. I'd be shocked if it were anything other than this.

"Farti, don'[t you know it's not cool to say you like Bungie games!"

Yeah, but if I prioritised image over gaming then I'd be a PS3 owner. I didn't buy a console for 'cool' or anything else but games. ;)

Stupid yanks and their backwards dates. Doesn't take much to get the Halo fanboys excited does it?

I think it's just the release date of the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack as just confirmed by MS.

Well, given the date, it's obviously a new game based on the German invasion of Denmark in 1940.

Stands to reason, dunnit?

@ thefinn

Could be. You would have to play as the one Dane who shot back, and it would be pretty short.

A halo map pack is a fuck site better than a piece of soulless shit like Killzone.

Amusingly, it'll sell a hell of a lot better too. xD
