Halo Mythic Map Pack and Halo Wars Event
On Thursday February 19th 2009 in the west end of Toronto Xbox community members and Media gathered at the Gladstone Hotel to check out the Halo 3 Mythic Map pack and Ensemble Studios final game Halo Wars. Check out the venue below.
Jeff Rivait was on hand from Microsoft to give everyone a demo of Halo Wars. Unfortunately being very new to the RTS (Real Time Strategy games) I decided it was better off not to embarrass myself in front of everyone so I decided just to watch everyone play.
The new Halo 3 map packed call Mythic Maps will be available with the purchase of Halo Wars CE or you will need to wait until spring to get a hold of them. They will also ship with Halo: ODST this fall. The map pack contains 3 maps called Assembly, Orbital and Sandbox. Check out the pictures below of each of the maps. I really enjoyed orbital and driving around on the mongoose honking the horn!. The best moment of the event was playing oddball on Sandbox and killing DarthAlbert III with 1 second left until victory. I held the skull for 76 seconds to make it respectable but ended up losing. As far as for Assembly I just confused on where to go on this map but had some great matches.
