Bungie's latest update reads: "The word is already out that those who purchase Halo Wars LCE will be given an early chance to romp around in the Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack." Here's a brief summary of what to expect and some new screens.
"The day Halo Wars hits store shelves is the day Halo 3 fans will find a new playlist in Matchmaking. The Mythic Preview playlist consists entirely of 4v4 games on Assembly, Orbital, and Sandbox, and will exclusively feature the Mythic Map Pack.
"Players in the United States, Europe, and Japan will be able to hop into this Halo Wars Preview playlist, day and date with their region's Halo Wars LCE release. Of course, if you're planning on playing with a large group of friends in a coordinated Mythic Map Pack effort, you can always rely on the Custom Games Lobby to get your fill of sixteen player action.
"Additionally, it bears mentioning that the Mythic Map Pack will still be made available by its lonesome on Xbox Live Marketplace later this spring."
