Gholsbane posted awhile back at MBO that there's a second beta version of the Myth 1.4 patch available at Project Magma.

Words can not describe how cool the guys at PlayMyth.net are! They have updated Myth 2 AGAIN! Check out all the new information at their site.

HBO is now back online.. enjoy!

On May 15, 2003, Project Magma will be releasing the first major update to Myth II in several years when they present version 1.4. Among its features are:

... over 100 enhancements, bug fixes and new features to Myth II: Soulblighter, in the areas of: graphics; interface improvements; elimination of plugin lag; elimination of chat lag; elimination of the 'walking bug', new mapmaking features; AI improvements and bug fixes; optional vTFL (virtual TFL) gameplay, which effectively brings both games and communities to the same program; and much, much more.

The update will be released approximately two months from today, which also happens to be the day that the team released version 1.3.2. 1.3.2 fixes numerous performance issues with WindowsXP and also brings OS X compatibility to Myth II.

Much more information can be gathered about version 1.4 from the Project Magma site (particularly the downloads section). Everything sounds extremely promising (TFL gameplay in Myth II!), and we can't wait for the final release.

PlayMyth.net is releasing an update for Myth 3 and Myth 2. Go a head and download your copy! I was just testing out Myth 2 for OSX and it runs great, this is really great news for the Myth community! PlayMyth.net has a list of mirrors for Myth 3, and currently you can only download the copy of Myth 2 at their hotline server located at hotline.mythdev.com. Later there will be a mirror for Myth 2.

The updates expires on March 16th!

Progress update for the Mac and PC version of Halo, the most intresting information is:

additional multiplayer maps and possible new weapons and vehicles because of expected greater online play by computer users

Could this be true? Does Bungie know about this? Get all the latest info at Macgamer.com.

Westlake update at Macgamer.com

PlayMyth.net is reporting an update on their Myth 3 project! They are reporting that Mac and PC updates should be available to download soonЩ. If you are still interested in Myth, go and check out their update. It's nice to see that Myth 3 is still alive!

With the lull in Bungie-related news that inevitably occurs in the void between releases, the natives at HBO have been getting a bit restless in their search for new information.

This search is referred to lovingly as bugging Matt .

Every once in awhile Matt decides to put down the uprising, as he did in this post, which primarily consists of answers to questions about releases with the simple phrase WID (which I assume means, When It's Done , the only official Bungie release date that has ever existed).

However, he did have this to say about Mac/PC Halo:

The last build I saw was really nice, by the way. Much left to do but still playable and cool.

So, we don't know when it first became playable, but it is playable now, half a year or more away from the expected (unofficial) release target.
