This Let's Play goes through the levels of Bungie's RTS game, Myth, as rebuilt to be played in the Myth II engine by the community in the Fallen Levels project. Sevron started way back in December 2012, and now it's hit the LP Archive.
Today on MyChemicalBromance's YouTube channel there's a new musical montage of multiplayer mayhem called Get W'rkt. It features footage from multiplayer games played by the Bungie.net group For Carnage Apply Within. Footage is included from this month's games in Marathon Infinity multiplayer using Aleph One, Myth II, and Halo Custom Edition on PC.

Project Magma has announced a public beta of the first major new revision to the Myth II engine in three years: version 1.8.0. If you're the adventurous kind, and already have 1.7.2 installed, head on over to The Tain and pick up the beta version to test.
Over in the MariusNet forum, punkUser points out that any old school Myth fans looking to check out some current tournament action can have a look at NewMutator's YouTube channel.
Chimera was a total conversion for the Myth II engine made by community members. It turned out so well, it got included in distributions of the Myth Codex.

At E3 in 1998, a little over six months after shipping their first Myth game, Bungie announces the sequel.
At the same time, video from the Bungie West project is shown. The game they are working on is Oni, a third-persion action game incorporating martial arts and firearms, with an anime-like visual style and themes very similar to the film Ghost in the Shell.
Less than 12 months after announcing the title, and slightly less than two years after their own last full game release (Marathon 2, for which they created the engine and the scenario in-house) Bungie ships Myth, a completely new game with a new engine, a new story, in a completely different genre. To boot, it marks the company's first cross-platform release, shipping simultaneously for Macs and PCs.
Myth won several awards, not only from Mac game publications but from PC gaming magazines as well.
A whopping seven weeks after Marathon Infinity shipped, twelve and a half months after shipping Marathon 2, Bungie announces Myth: The Fallen Lords.
Myth is obviously not a first-person shooter, as Bungie's last three games (the Marathon Trilogy) were, and represent the company's first foray into Real-Time Strategy games, although some hardcore fans remark that the lack of resource management and other features mean they are more accurately called Real-Time Tactical games.
Not to go unnoticed in the glow of Bungie's 20th anniversary ViDoc, the MariusNet community-run Myth multiplayer server is celebrating its tenth anniversary on August 6th.
