SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA \u2013 January 21, 2010 \u2013 \u201cHalo\u201d fans, prepare to step into an expanded fight on Xbox LIVE. Mythic 2 Map Pack, a Game Add-on developed by Bungie for \u201cHalo 3\u201d is set to arrive on Xbox LIVE on February 2, 2010 and will consist of three multiplayer maps previously only available on the \u201cHalo 3: ODST\u201d multiplayer disc.<\/p>\n
Available on Xbox LIVE for 800 Microsoft Points, the Mythic 2 Map Pack brings the total number of \u201cHalo 3\u201d multiplayer maps to 24. The Game Add-on includes three action-packed maps: Heretic, Citadel and Longshore. <\/p>\n
Heretic brings players to familiar ground as the \u201cHalo 2\u201d arena Midship returns in \u201cHalo 3.\u201d The stark interior of the Pious Inquisitor might appear solemn at first glance, but Heretic\u2019s symmetrical spaces require players to execute complex strategies in order to outplay their opponents. <\/p>\n
Citadel may be a long abandoned Forerunner stronghold, but its small, symmetrical confines are far from secure. Two opposing bases offer little safety for players looking for solace. Instead, Citadel forces small squads to adjust combat tactics and stay in constant communication. <\/p>\n
Longshore lacks the commercial ships that once made it a lucrative port for Old Mombasa, but it still bustles with activity. Designed for large-scale combat and well-suited for smaller affairs, Longshore\u2019s multitude of industrial buildings, elevated walks, and open inlets come together to create a complex battleground tailored for multiple combat scenarios.<\/p>\n
Mythic Map Pack 1 and 2 are also included in \u201cHalo 3: ODST,\u201d which includes the complete \u201cHalo 3\u201d multiplayer map collection, and Firefight, the incredibly popular cooperative experience. \u201cHalo 3: ODST\u201d will act as a key to the upcoming \u201cHalo: Reach\u201d multiplayer beta which goes live later this year. <\/p>\n
