Halo On WAP
This struck me as slightly ridiculous but pretty cool... chigiri posted to the HBO forum about a recent Halo endeavour of his... he's created a WAP-enabled Halo information site. No real content yet, but it's on the way. Hmm...

A Brief History Of Halo
Blackstar Productions has come out with a new video. This one's an advertisement for Halo and Xbox Live featuring Stephen Hawking. We've added Mr. Hawking to our Halo Movies section as well.
GameRanger 3.0 Goes Final
The final version of GameRanger 3.0 is out, according to this story on MacCentral. This version is compatible with OS X and OS 8.6-9.2. GameRanger is a Macintosh gaming matchmaking service that supports Myth:TFL and Myth II, as well as many other popular games.
Up In The Sky, It's A Velocity, It's A Direction
In the scramble to get back into a daily posting routine, we overlooked making a formal announcement, but I'm sure a few people noticed his first post a few days ago. Vector40 has joined the staff here at Rampancy; everybody be sure to say hi.
Myth 3 Patch Available
MBO's very own Zandervix put up a note that the Macintosh version of Myth 3 is due for an upgrade, to version 1.1. It fixes a few bugs and generally makes the game more stable. A PC upgrade is in the works for later. The news was originally posted at PlayMyth, and the patch itself is available at MythMaps and will be at The Mill.
A Game By Any Other Name
Matt Soell dropped into our forum just to clarify one point: Combat Evolved was, in fact, a marketing catchphrase for Halo and not actually part of the title:
It's in all the printed materials and ads and press releases because the Marketing folks don't ever want someone who hasn't already bought the game to see the word Halo by itself. Nothing about that word screams running around with guns shooting people, and that bothered Marketing to virtually no end.
So there we have it. No word on whether or not Halo 2 would have a subtitle, though... hmm. Perhaps Halo 2: Blam! THAT at least screams running around with guns shooting people. At least, it does to us.
Halo A Hit At Necrowombicon
Ok, perhaps hit is a bit of an exaggeration. But it was played at the recent Penny Arcade convention, despite the authors' earlier expressions of acrimony towards Bungie's first Xbox title, not to mention the Xbox itself.
From today's news at PA, August 19, 2002, by Tycho:
Different games started up from time to time but never reached critical mass - Battlefield 1942 essentially stole the show. We actually melted through some extension cables and lost power to one bank of machines, which seemed less like a crisis and more like a badge of honor, a sign that were doing things right. There was a 'Cube with Super Smash Brothers on there, and the two Halo Xboxes stayed full almost the entire day. From time to time, I would get up and survey the room with a ridiculous grin.
Today's comic from them about Yahoo Maps is also pretty funny.
Marathon: Resurrection Demo Released
David Candyman Candland of Bungie has posted to Bungie.net that Team Unpfhorgiven has released a demo of their much anticipated Marathon TC for Unreal Tournament, Marathon: Resurrection. From the release notes of M:R 1.2:
This release is not a simple patch, it is a complete install and as such can be installed by itself over a fresh Unreal Tournament 4.3.6 install or over a previous version of Marathon:Resurrection.Once installed, the single player experience is meant to be a loosely based replica of the original Marathon Demo by Bungie. Some things that we included were not part of the original demo, and a few small things have been omitted, but otherwise this release stays true to the original.
This new version includes all three single player levels from the original Marathon Demo, including terminals and game saving/loading.
We've mirrored the Marathon: Resurrection Demo.
We Stand Corrected
Where's Alec Guinness when you need him to make a wry remark about the who is more foolish?
HBO posted an update to their item about Halo 2 previews. Next month's article in the US-based PC Gamer magazine will, of course, be on the PC version of Halo rather than the Xbox version of Halo 2. Nijhazer set everybody straight, and Harry Al-Shakarchi was right all along. We get the ding for following Louis Wu wherever he goes without question, but we'll point out that usually it's not a bad policy. No blood, no foul... let's play.
Magazines To Preview Halo 2 In October
Harry Al-Shakarchi and Griffon , via Louis Wu at HBO, respectively gave warning that PC Gamer in the US and Edge Magazine in the UK will be doing previews of Halo 2. Edge has a teaser graphic up.
