Microsoft has announced full details of the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack to be released inside the Halo Wars Limited Collector's Edition. The DLC will be made available on Xbox LIVE Marketplace at a later date.

The three maps included in the pack are Sandbox, Assembly, and Orbital. A copy of Halo 3 is required to play the new maps.

Sandbox
Combines large-scale vehicular combat with a limitless amount of Forge customization. Boasting a tiered, open-world layout, build your own unique game experiences using the Forge map editor. Sandbox is a map unlike any Bungie has ever created.

Assembly
Set in the heart of a Covenant Scarab manufacturing facility. With two identical bases on either side of this medium-sized map, it's a perfect environment for both Slayer and objective games like Capture the Flag and Assault.

Orbital
A small asymmetrical map, is set in the docking station of the Quito Space Tether. One-sided games like One Flag, and One Bomb are sure to become quick fan-favourites, but the Slayer faithful will also find plenty of action on this battleground.

Get the maps first with the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars, scheduled for release on February 27.

Update:The Mythic Map Pack will not be released on Xbox LIVE Marketplace on March 3 as previously reported. VideoGamer.com offers its apologies for this error.
