For those eagerly awaiting any sliver of news about Halo 3: ODST, you’ll continue to wait. Unfortunately, nothing was released this past week in Bungie’s update. So, we still have Fall 2009 for a release window.
Things are looking up though, because in Bungie’s update they mention that the progammers are taking bets when the release date could be. You got to think that if they’re placing hard earned money on the table, then some idea of a date is floating around in someone’s mind. Unfortunately, we just don’t know what it is yet.
Some other things mentioned in the update were the Wasteland map in the Mythic Map Pack. If you were one of those who already have the map pack then you can skip this. If you’re unfamiliar with Wasteland, then go back and play Sandbox. Basically, it’s a modified version of Sandbox. In Wastelands you have a large sprawling Slayer, or Team Slayer type map. It’s vehicle based map as well, but if you’re a sniper you can find good spots as well.

In Bungie’s weekly update, we get quite a bit of insight into many various projects Bungie has coming our way. Most of the update revolves around the Halo Mythic Map Pack. There were a couple of recent interview with T3, and IGN that shed some light on what we can expect with the map pack.
Here’s a quote about Team Mythic and how it will be incorporated in the map pack, “Team Mythic is going to be a social 4v4 playlist exclusive to owners of the Mythic Map Pack. Primarily slayer, Team Mythic will feature Slayer, Slayer BRs, SWAT, and Snipers. Additionally, 2 Flag, Neutral Assault, and even Grifball will make cameos at a lower weighting. The playlist will feature all three Mythic maps, including Sandbox in multiple variants.”
One interesting aspect of the map pack that has been announced is the ‘Killball’. They are rather self-explanatory. It’s an object that can be added through Forge that can kill instantly on contact. They are added to the Sandbox map, and can be used in a variety of ways. They kill anything instantly, even if you’re in a vehicle. You can use them as a trap for a jump, or swing them through a stage and make players dodge them. There’s quite a slew of options to discover
