Mythic Map Pack

The Mythic Map Pack is the upcoming map pack released by Bungie. It, however, does not include Cold Storage.

Summary
The Mythic Map Pack was confirmed to include Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox, and may include Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel.

The map pack is set to be released with Halo Wars Limited Collector's Edition on March 3, 2009 for American regions, February 26 for Asia, and February 27 for the UK. Shortly after Halo Wars releases, Bungie plans to release the Map Pack as downloadable content. It is unknown what the date for European release will be.

Maps
Assembly, Sandbox and Orbital are maps that have been confirmed by Bungie. They will be released with the Limited Collector's Edition of Halo Wars on March 3.

Assembly
Assembly was originally planned to be in the Heroic Map Pack, then the Legendary Map Pack, but was replaced due to the fear that it wouldn't be finished on time. It is suspected that the map is set in a Covenant Scarab Factory. Some say it is similar to the Halo 2 map, Midship. It is said to be fit for mid-sized Slayer and Team Slayer battles, and also supports objective gametypes, other gameplay details are indefinite.

Orbital
Orbital is set on the Quito Space Tether, a UNSC space elevator. It will be the first map in Halo 3 (campaign or multiplayer) to be set in outer space. Orbital is described as having two main corridors overlapping each other and having some interesting switches that grant access to certain areas of the map. An image of Orbital was released on Bungie.net in late December.

Sandbox
Sandbox has not been officially revealed yet and concrete information about this map is scarce. It was first referred to by the New Halo 3 Achievements and later officially revealed in a Bungie Blog post when it was announced to be released in the Halo Wars Limited Edition along with Assembly and Orbital. Despite the lack of official info, Sandbox is suspected to be a forge-heavy map larger and more detailed than Foundry.
