Gary Simmons, the Battle Cat to old school Marathon junkies, sends word that Orbital Arm is now officially open for business. Here's an excerpt from the PR:

Apple to Push Uber as OpenPlay
While Butcher has advised me that this is old news, I'm posting it in blatant defiance of his better judgement. Inside Mac Games has posted an item on Microsoft's DirectPlay, and Apple's answer to it:
A couple of years ago, Bungie developed a cross-platform game networking API called Uber ...[whack]
System Requirements Rant
There have been a lot of questions lately about Halo's system requirements. For the most part, these questions have run along the lines of can my system run Halo? Things are beginning to turn ugly, with people sick of answering the same question over and over again.
In an effort forestall hostilities, and give the Database a reason to exist, I've run my Nytol addled brain through the ringer and produced a new rant that aims to answer some questions and give some advice:
New Poll Up
This week's poll is up and accepting votes: based on the virtual confirmation that Halo will be coming to a Playstation 2 near you, do you think console ports will have a positive or negative impact on the Halo community? Or do you not care, as long as you get your hands on Halo on time and as promised? The poll will be open all week, so take your getting those votes in.
Poll Results
After a better turnout than I had expected for this rather whimsical poll, we appear to have a tie. When asked if they made use the forum here and at the other Halo sites around the community, the voters offered these results:
Halo SETI Promo
I saw this and couldn't resist: halo.bungie.org has moved into the propaganda business with their Halo SETI promotion. I love their slogan... it's so perfect for the theme and topic. :)
Database Back Online
After an ugly struggle with the Database's SSI scripting, I've got that article archive back up and running. Still not much in it (I'm not a very prolific writer), but at least it's working again.
On the topic, I'm wondering aloud if any readers out there would be interested in submitting their articles to the engine. If you're at all keen on the idea, leave a post or fire off an email.
"Blam, Bungie, and Take Two"
An interesting post at Marathon's Story about blam.com, a domain name that received a lot of attention when Halo was still codenamed blam . While obviously not a Halo site, it turns out it does have connections with Bungie after all...
Weekends Suck
In this line of work, anyway. Yet more forum tweaks, and I promise I'll have the assorted subsections of the site up to date soon. Not enough news for me to use it as an excuse anymore. Hmm...
Mostly site specific news around the web today... if you're making your rounds, you're not missing anything. And if you're not, well, you're still not missing a whole lot. ;)
Halo on PS2
Kudos to Fly Molo, who pointed out a news item at psx.ign.com that further confirms Halo for the PS2, but oddly enough not the Dreamcast.
The Playstation 2 port is expected to come after the PC-Mac simultaneous release. This should be welcome for people out there who can't afford to upgrade their systems for Halo but want to enjoy it nonetheless.
