Marathon
Gaze in stunned disbelief as Marathon's Story posts a shocking revelation that will shake the Marathon world to its very foundation: If you look at it the right way, Marathon Infinity's plot actually makes sense.
Halo
At last, we see what the great Louis Wu thinks of Halo. Also, there's some stuff about Halo's sound. And the usual zany hijinks and moments of tenderness. For as we all know, like the
sands of the hourglass, so are the Days of Our Forums...

Marathon
There's always room for JELLO! Er, new Marathon maps. From the Archives. Mmm, jello...
Halo
Man, if I had a nickel for every site that reviewed Halo, I'd have... oh, about $1.80.

Marathon
A new version of Marathon Resurrection has been unleashed! The word on the new version, straight from the team:
Marathon: Resurrection beta 1.1.1 is now available for download.
This update is a patch for b1.1 ONLY and will NOT work with b1.
Anyone wishing to use this patch MUST download the FULL b1.1.
Consequently, anyone wishing to host the MOD must host both the full
b1.1 and the b1.1.1 patch. This update includes a large number of
bug fixes, as well as gameplay tweaks, 2 updated maps and 2 new
maps.
- If you are killed while invisible you no longer have the invisible
skin for the rest of the game.
- You can now kill an invincible person with the fusion pistol.
- The HUD score display now truncates player names to 11 characters.
- You can no longer recharge your health while feigning death.
- You can no longer toss weapons.
- Extravision fixed.
- Hypervision now does something worthwhile.
- Fixed a problem in King of the Hill that cause 'Accessed None's in
non-KOTH play.
- Modified the map select code in all three games to not append
'?game=blah' to the map name if it is already there.
- Modified the staff to shoot a different projectile when wielded by
a player or a bot. New projectile is faster than the standard one.
Hopefully this will make it a slightly more useful weapon in net
play.
- Modified the staff to swing in a wider arc.
- Added a MarathonHealth class and Marathon1xHealth,
Marathon2xHealth, Marathon3xHealth, and MarathonO2Powerup power-ups.
- Added default Health=150 to MaraSkelPlayer and MaraSkelBot for use
by health power-ups.
- Grenade and SPNKR double explosions fixed.
- Fixed green bob pants texture
- TOZT no-ammo-use exploit fixed
- SPNKR/AR grenade explosion tweaked
- Weapon reloading can now be interrupted by switching to another
weapon
- Although probably no one but another scripter cares, I finally
tracked down an "Accessed None" in the MarathonThingFactory that has
been hanging around for at least a year.
- FOV forced to 90 on login and logout, made necessary by Extravision
(Extravision changes player FOV setting).
- Fusion water damage now done by projectiles in postbeginplay to
actors in same waterzone (previously by fusion gun, checking actors
in range and in water)
- Increased fusion projectile water damage too. They use default
damage values now.
- Better magnum net code.
- Dimmed the HUD textures so they look better translucent.
- (Hopefully) Fixed serverside player skin error in SkeletalPlayer.
- New Maps:
- DMMRK-Route66
- DMMRK-OneHitWonder
- Fixed maps:
- DMMR-CarnagePalaceDeee-luxe

BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. This has been a test of the Emergency Spoiler Concealing System. Had this been a real spoiler, the signal you just heard would have been followed by more information on Halo than you wanted to know. You may now return to your regularly scheduled... whatever.

There's a new Marathon mod on the scene: Check out Marathon|Rampancy for Unreal Tournament. Some competition for our own Resurrection.

Special update
This news is 2 days old now, but it's still important. Some of you may have noticed that the Evihcra Network is no longer responding. Here is the official word from Fm, the man behind the family of file archives: The Public Archive Network is experiencing difficulties that has resulted in a temporary loss of service. We apologize for any inconvenience this may be causing our users but this is as temporary as it is unavoidable. Please be patient and we will be back online as soon as possible. This affects a number of bungie.org sites: - The Lh'owon Ar'kives provided a home to all Marathon-related files, including a number of categories not covered by the Archives, as well as user-written reviews.
- The Mill was the ONLY truly comprehensive Myth file archive on the net.
- The Liandri Depot was by far the biggest site for downloading betas from the b.org-hosted Marathon: Resurrection mod for Unreal Tournament.
- Fm had stated that a new site, dedicated to Halo mods, would go live as soon as content for it was available.
The loss is huge, and will be felt strongly by the entire community. Hopefully, the downtime can be held to a minimum.
