Not surprised, but what the heck is Mythic then? Isn't there supposed to be something this Winter as DLC for Halo 3 ? There are those other cheevos...

The Mythic map pack is not related to Halo 3 Recon.

So it is basically just another map pack with skulls and what not? So what then is Mythic? I was wondering cause I thought the teaser was related to the new DLC, not a whole new game.

Damnit this is not good, this is going to fragment the Halo 3 multiplayer into 2!

I would venture to guess that added options for Halo multiplayer will be downloaded off a Halo 3 Recon disc and added to Halo 3 proper.
Like the Halo 2 map pack expansion disc.
But, that is just speculation.

I don't think so, people would share discs

Think of it as more of an updated halo 3 multiplayer, cuz by then it'll be 2 years old

That still doesn't change the fact that many people will switch from halo 3 to halo 3 recon and some won't, splitting it in 2. Halo 3 maps might not be in Halo 3 Recon, so you would have to disc swap to play maps on the other version. A downloadable expansion would have been best.

well were gunna be able to download games from the disc to the hard drive, so maybe you hafta download one game and then insert the disk to play a combined multiplayer. kinda like morrowind-bloodmoon/tribunal, or even oblivion-shivering isles

PeterF- what do you think people did with the Halo 2 map pack disc? Oh... That's right- they shared them...
It's not that big of a deal.

Microsoft could add a code in each box like the AC/DC song disc has for transferring.

This just makes me wish there was mod support for console games.

I'd wish for more control than Unreal, but they did create a good compromise.. pity they didn't create a good game.
