RUMOR MILL: Halo 3 “Mythic” Achievements

The “Mythic” Halo 3 that mysteriously appeared at PAX seems to have Achievements attached to it, as a thread in the Ascendant Forums reveals. A whopping 750 points, in fact, which strongly suggests that “Mythic” is a full expansion similar to Shivering Isles from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
A big chunk of the Achievements also refer to skulls, which itself seems to imply that these are new single player levels. Does this mean we get to land on the planet seen at the conclusion of Halo 3 on Legendary difficulty? Wait a minute… Vidmaster is from Marathon. Hmmm.
Legendary. Mythic. It all fits. Then again, there are also multiplayer sounding Achievements, too, just as “Killtacular” and “Dropped the Flag”.
If these are new Halo 3 levels, how excited are you for “Mythic”?

Sounds pretty awesome. I’ve always thought Bungie should work with Halo 3 for a while before rushing another game.
People now are all like “Oh get over Halo..blah blah, its old” and i think Bungie tried to re-capture more love for it with the Map-Packs, free map, double exp weekend - which are all good. But not everyone plays Halo for Online play (altho i do, it kicks ass) but new levels are awesome.
I reckon they should do something similar to Half-Life with the Episodes..maybe not as long seeing as though the Episodes in Half Life are basically games on their own - just a few levels, achievements and possibly introduce something new.
I also think they should do an expansion which features levels that bridge the gap between Halo 2 and Halo 3.
BUT doesnt this break the rules of achievements with microsoft/xbox 360. Has to add up to 1000 or 1250 i think with expansion?? Or since this will be released by disc i presume, can it be a whole new game (or expansion) with 1000gamer points?

This expansion will be pricy. I’m betting at least 1600 MSP ($20) - or more. It’s not going to be just a map pack.

The way you wrote this Johnah has me more excited than ever! I hadn’t finshed cleaning up the wet spot after the first sighting of this information.
Good Lord, I never really thought they would add new levels to Halo 3! Makes me wonder what the new ending cinematics will be like.

[...] they’ve only confirmed some of the ones that have already leaked out onto the Internets, but they do explain what exactly these achievements are though, which is [...]

BTB maps should be done….meaning…no more, zero…total waste of time. BTB population is roughly less than 3K in a day every single day…so why bother?
I don’t want anymore Halo 2 remakes or even Halo 1 remakes. I want some creative originality.
I want Max Hoberman who was lead design on Warlock and on Sanctuary to make some kick ass symmetrical maps that are within the size of Sanctuary.
I want 4 of them. I will pay 800MS points easy for them. I want them by this May, but sooner would be better. I don’t want anymore asymmetrical maps, we have enough of them. If I don’t get what I want in this third map pack, there better be a 4th map pack with what I want.
I also think Bungie needs to start releasing map packs with themes to them, ie: A Forge Variety map pack.
Which would contain:
1 blank large rectangle canvas
1 blank medium sized octagon canvas
1 blank small circle canvas
1 blank small square canvas
I don’t want textured walls, i want flat walls. Throw whatever cool looking colors you want on the walls, I want them flat, meaning no curves at the bottom, no curves at the top towards the ceiling, no overhangs, no windows, no gaps or spaces in the wall, no indentions, none of that garbage.
I don’t want any hard-coded geometery in the map that I cannot remove in Forge. I want some new forge objects like SEPARATORS that would block off entire sections of a map so that we can adjust the size of the map accordingly.
Basically Bungie, here’s some advice, “if you build it, they will come.” Taken from the greatest baseball/inspirational/sports movie ever, Field of Dreams.
