Microsoft sent out a press release detailing the final map offered in the upcoming Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack DLC. Coupled with some newly released screenshots from Bungie.net, Microsoft noted that the Mythic Map Pack will be an added bonus for those who purchase the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars.

Here's a rundown of the new maps:

Sandbox: Um... this looks almost identical to Sandtrap. Even the description direct from Microsoft which touts "large-scale vehicular combat and limitless Forge customization" sounds exactly like the way I'd describe Sandtrap. Here's the real question though, can I plunk down more than two Elephants on this bad boy?


Assembly: A twisty, turny warren, this purple-hued Covenant-themed map is nestled within a Covenant Scarab factory. With two spawn bases set on either side, Assembly seems somewhat similar to Snowbound, except with lots more gantries and catwalks to assist with getting the drop on fools.


Orbital: Set in the docking station of the Quito Space Tether (the whatnow?), Orbital is a smaller map that will probably promote heated battles. From what I know of Halo 3, it will also lend itself to me lobbing grenades into tight, enclosed spaces for maximum kill-stealing.
