Trivia
- The Maptacular Pack content is also included in Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack and the PC version of Halo 2.
- The Maptacular Pack takes up 222 MB on the Xbox 360's hard drive.
- The Maptacular Pack is currently the largest Halo DLC yet in terms of maps. However both the Heroic Map Pack and the Legendary Map Pack are larger than it in terms of memory used. The entirety of the Mythic Map Pack trumps Maptacular by one, but it seemingly split into two different packs of three, one for the Limited Edition of Halo Wars, and another at a later date, presumably the shipping date of Halo 3: ODST.
