| '''''Halo 3: Mythic''''' is the ''[[Halo 3]]'' multiplayer disc that comes with ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.{{Ref/Reuse|BWU0814}} The disc includes ''[[Halo 3]]''{{'}}s multiplayer component, [[Forge]], the [[Theater]], and every ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map, including three new maps: [[Heretic]], [[Citadel]], and [[Longshore]], along with their respective achievements.

| ==Overview==
| | <references/> |
| ''Halo 3: Mythic'' was the complete multiplayer experience for ''Halo 3'', allowing players to play [[matchmaking]], [[custom game]]s, Forge and Theater on any map in ''Halo 3'' - unlike the similar ''[[Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack]]'', which only installed its map selection to the console hard drive. The disc does not allow access to the ''Halo 3'' [[campaign]]. The menu of the disc has a different background to that of the standard ''Halo 3'', instead showing a lone [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI|Mark VI]]-clad [[SPARTAN-II program|Spartan]] on the map [[Citadel]]. The main menu plays sections of the tracks ''[[Movement]]'', ''[[Choose Wisely]]'', ''[[Never Forget]]'', ''[[Roll Call]]'' and ''[[Tribute (music)|Tribute]]'' - all from the ''[[Halo 3: Original Soundtrack]]''.
| |
|
| |
|
| The disc also features an updated [[Armor customization (Halo 3)|armor customization]] menu visual, showing the player's Spartan or [[Sangheili]] with updated lighting and a backdrop in the command center on the level [[High Ground]].

| |
|
| As of the January [[2022]] shutdown of the original ''Halo 3'' Xbox 360 servers, all online functionality in ''Halo 3: Mythic'' is no longer accessible.
| | The disc includes ''[[Halo 3]]'''s multiplayer component, [[Forge]], the [[Theater]], and every ''Halo 3'' multiplayer map, including all the released DLC the 3 new mythic maps, Heretic, Longshore, and Citadel. |
|
| |
|
| ===Included maps===
| | Also sporting new background images and music. |
| ''Halo 3: Mythic'' comes bundled with every map and [[Downloadable content|map pack]] available for ''Halo 3'', including the Mythic II Map Pack. Between the launch of ''Halo 3: ODST''/ ''Halo 3: Mythic'' in September 2009 and February 2, [[2010]], the Mythic II pack was only available for play via the ''Halo 3: Mythic'' disc, though on February 2, it was made available on the [[Xbox LIVE]] marketplace for purchase. Following this, the majority of ''Halo 3'' playlists were updated to require all downloadable content to allow players to search.

| The artwork on the ''Halo 3: Mythic'' disc is a screenshot of ''Halo 3'' multiplayer taken by ''Halo 3'' player Ryan Wheeler. The image had been taken by Wheeler, and was selected for use due to Bungie's wish to use an iconic community image to represent the Mythic disc and the [[Halo 3: ODST ViDoc: Road to Recon|Road to Recon]]. Ironically, the screenshot was thought by Wheeler to be "mediocre". Wheeler was rewarded by Bungie with a care package including a signed ''Halo 3: ODST'' poster and was interviewed in the Bungie Weekly Update.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=https://halo.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_092509|Site=Bungie.net|Page=Bungie Weekly Update: 09.25.09}}

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *Buying ''Halo 3: ODST'' is more cost efficient than buying all of the map packs individually, as you get the game with them.{{Ref/Site|D=01|M=6|Y=2020|URL=http://www.joystiq.com/2009/08/22/halo-3-odsts-multiplayer-disc-all-frag-no-chief-filler/|Site=Joystiq|Page=Halo 3 ODST's multiplayer disc: all frag, no Chief filler}}
| |
| *In the Custom Games lobby, scrolling through individual gamertags will make the [[Sangheili|Elite]] in the background's shoulder emblem change to same as that person's emblem.
| |
| *Despite being a multiplayer disc, Mythic does have an accessible Campaign lobby, but it is only viewable on Xbox LIVE if one player has the campaign disc and switches to the Campaign lobby, though the user on Mythic would not be able to play.
| |
| *The copyright text screen was changed, showing all of the available languages.
| |
| **It also removes the game rating.
