My buddies over at Gameplay Unlimited (Deadly Cyclone and crew) decided to dig into the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack to shed some light on its worth before it drops.  I still haven’t finished the fight so I’m a little behind but you don’t have to be.  It’s a good thing they dropped the 99,999 Microsoft Points price of it.

From Deadly Cyclone…

The Mythic Map Pack for Halo 3 is set to debut on Xbox LIVE Thursday for 800 Microsoft Points, but we at GPU wanted to give you all a bit of a preview of the maps before putting down the $10.  Containing Assembly, Sandbox, and Orbital the Mythic Pack may be one of the most diverse and best looking set of maps to date.  Having bought Halo Wars LE I have had the opportunity to play these maps for a few weeks now and can tell you that Halo fans will not be disappointed.

The Mythic pack fills a void in the map selection by adding these three very diverse maps. Below you can see an image of each map as well as a mini review of the overall feel and gameplay, along with what gametypes fit best.  Hit the jump for our complete impressions and check out Bungie’s new Mythic Map Pack trailer.
