As we jet off to our next PAX appointment we thought we'd inform you about the latest and most interesting Halo 3 news bit to come from the PAX show floor that's fourteen times more exciting than Assembly. It's something called Halo 3 Mythic with a multiplayer only menu, version 1.2 marking and, if the above screen grab from the guys over at AddictGaming.com can be trusted, is something to do with Bungie's canceled E3 announcement. Or it could be just a general Halo 3 update. Or it could be something to do with the acceptance videos. Or it could be everything combined. We dunno!
Like we said, the image above was snapped from Bungie's booth at PAX, so (seeing that we're here at PAX) we'll sneak over to the Bungie booth like ninjas and inquire about this mysterious Halo 3 Mythic. Story developing.

im pretty sure it's just a demo screen for the new Mythic Map Pack. they jus made that menu for promotion. its just a home screen for the map pack.

Yeah seems like a map pack demo since its "multiplayer only" or something totally unrelated...which is unlikely.

maybe its a new campaign mode. The previous map pack was called legendary. So the new map pack might be named after a new campaign mode that will be a dlc.

Yeah, I heard somewhere else the next map pack would be called Mythic.

I'm guessing that its just the multiplayer only version of Halo 3 that Bungie brings with them to events to let people play.

That's my guess as well. If Purple Reign is at PAX and available to play (or at least demo), but not released, it stands to reason Bungie has a build of Halo that they can use to play unreleased maps.
Nothing spectacular here.

Maybe it's a remake of Halo 2 with the Halo 3 engine? Probably not, but that would be cool in my opinion. I agree that its probably about the new map pack.

I'm going to agree with everyone else here. Mythic is most likely another map pack. It goes so well with the other map packs. Heroic Map Pack, Legendary Map Pack, Mythic Map Pack. Makes sense in my opinion.

It is just a developmental disc that Bungie uses at events like this. This one has one of the new Mythic maps, Assembly, and has AU2 on it. That's all, it is not anything super secret like we would hope. Sorry

The most logical reason. 1.2 because AU2 drops Sept. 16, most already figured it would be the Mythic Map Pack. I'm sure there was something similar at Meadowlands and San Diego.

Honestly, if that were the announcement left out of E3 that Bungie was leading up to I think we'd all be pretty disappointed. I agree with what people are saying about the map pack idea.
Particularly if they're just going to have it running on some random screens at their booth.

I always thought the next Halo game would be a mutiplayer only game with reamped graphics, but this is probably the map pack.
