Loads more is through the link including a Q&A with the map’s creator, Shay.

The official Austrian Xbox blog done a poo poo. The site apparently posted shots and info from the upcoming Halo 3 Mythic map pack last night, content that appears to have magically disappeared.

There’s a shot each for one of the three maps involved, namely Sanbox, Assembly and Orbital.

No date on release.
