Halo 3 Sandbox Screenshot Leaked

Rumor is that the image to the left (click to enlarge), is of Sandbox. A new map from Bungie's Mythic Map Pack that is set to release with the Halo Wars Special Edition.

Surely non-RTS gameplaying people aren't going to buy Halo Wars just for this...surely...?

BLUR1115588d ago

I'm sure the halo/RTS fans will though

trancefreak5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

Blurr what is this sand box and what does it do. can someone elaborate at what im looking at here. Is this for halo 3 or the halo wars game???

Im getting my son a 360 for his b-day in march and this looks really cool.

FYI those who are dissing this map. Everything you see on the map besides the ground is forgeable. I'm so happy they took Foundry and made a larger version. And for those of who don't play Halo 3, Forge is where you can move and edit objects on the map, which in this case is everything!

orakga5588d ago

They're going to force people to buy Halo Wars to download the Mythic Map pack?? I hope that's not the case.

Panthers5588d ago

That would be dirty. Not right to make someone buy a RTS to get FPS maps.

mcgrawgamer5588d ago

the maps will be included with halo wars, but I assume like all their other maps you'd be able to dl them from the marketplace for a price.

Immortal Kaim5588d ago

Yes the maps can be downloaded separately, but if you buy the Halo Wars CE you get them for free.

SixZeroFour5588d ago

yea, i believe that you can purchase it from the live marketplace, or get it free when you buy either halo wars or halo: odst...so there will be 3 ways to get the new halo 3 maps

ASSASSYN 36o5587d ago

Some of us don't care. I am getting halo wars anyways with the added benifit of wonderful halo 3 mythic maps.

cherrypie5587d ago

I've got Halo Wars pre-ordered because I love RTS. And it will be done well because Ensemble built it for Consoles "first" (w/r/t control).

I'll download the Mythic Map Pack when it arrives on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii129d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies129d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer167d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog167d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned167d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c167d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb167d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal167d ago (Edited 167d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72166d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman167d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos166d ago (Edited 166d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows166d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.

Xbox 360 Turns 18: Three Cheers to Live, Halo, and Red Rings

The Xbox 360 launched in North America 18 years ago, and is now officially old enough to buy you a drink in Europe.

darthv72178d ago

Great platform, and many of its games (not bc) still hold up well to this day. Like the PS3, I keep a 360 hooked up for those games you can't play any other way.

isarai178d ago

The last gasp of greatness from XBox, you are missed, except the RROD that was lame, but amazing exclusives until the Kinect dropped.

TheBrainZ178d ago

So many brilliant games. I still have one stored somewhere.

LG_Fox_Brazil178d ago

I really enjoyed my X360, some great exclusives on it. Used to play the shit out ot Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, two masterpieces
