Just before PAX, pictures leaked of a behind-closed-doors Bungie room with a screen showing the title "Halo 3 Mythic." Apparently an online-only menu, almost nothing is known about the game. Was it the cancelled E3 announcement? Is it just a work-in-progress placeholder? Is it a surprise collaboration between Bungie and EA Mythic? The title is shrouded in so much mystery people aren’t even sure if it’s real, and Bungie’s claim that it’s "Nothing worth notice" doesn’t do much to dissuade thoughts of possibility from running rampant.
While not much is officially known about the add-on/expansion/whatever-it’s-officially-called yet, thanks to people at PAX who happened to check their Dashboard at Bungie’s booth we do know that "Mythic" will add an additional 30 achievements to the game. Based on various pictures and reports, here are the new achievements you can look forward to (assuming they’re real and stay around–remember, there has been no official statement on Mythic, what it is, or when it will be released, so for now we can only assume it’s a massive Halo 3 update/add-on):
