Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack Impressions
Late last week Bungie released their third map pack - the Mythic Map Pack - on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points. Included in the map pack are three brand new maps: Orbital, Sandbox, and Assembly. If gamers want the hotly anticipated Recon armor that will be available later this fall on Halo: ODST they can get started early by finding the skulls hidden of each of the new maps.
Orbital
Set on a space tether, Orbital is the only map currently on Halo 3 set in space. Orbital consists of two U-shaped corridors that overlap each other making the map seem a bit disorienting at first. Power weapons on Orbital are the sniper and rockets - each placed at the bottom of the Us. Most of the action, at least in the beginning, occurs at the bottom of each U near the power weapons. Good use of grenades and teamwork will get you out on top early.
Assembly
Assembly takes place inside a Covenant Scarab Factory and has a Midship vibe to it. If you can stay out of the action long enough you can see a Scarab being assembled right above you. The only power weapon on the map is a gravity hammer in the middle, besides that it’s just you and your BR. Assembly is a perfect Slayer map, but also supports objective game types.
Sandbox
Sandbox is set in the desert with setting and scope similar to Sandtrap but the forging capabilities of Foundry. This map is every forger’s dream come true with three areas to create maps — one in the sky, one on the ground, and one in the crypt. Every weapon, vehicle, and piece of equipment can be placed on Sandbox. New forge objects have been added as well - they include a seven wood(golf club), golf ball, and a tin hole. Gamers should expect great maps to be forged in the coming weeks.
Overall the maps are a great addition Halo 3. Each map offers something different and unique; especially Sandbox. Gamers will have no trouble finding matches as hundreds of thousands of gamers have purchased them. Which leaves you. What are you waiting for?
