IP into the connection window, or, you will find us on the tracker:

Notes on a few Servers For the next 5 to 6 hours our Oni machines will be off line. No real big problems, just some routine maintenance. The HL Server should be back online by 5:00pm (CST) this evening. If you use bookmarks they will not work. The new IP for the HL Server is: 24.0.103.31
The Oni http server should be back online by Friday morning, the 26th of November. I apologize
for this inconvenience, but, the maintenance time is needed. Thanks!

Halo So you think we just might be a little slow on news? Not so! Updated Seti information
and some great posts on the forum.
That madnews reporter Harry Al-Shakarchi has been burning up the Oni news. Make sure that you pick up on his latest
little tidbit of news. We want to know what you
think this might be. Wow, I completely missed this update the other day. The "Need A Light"
dead scripts are posted. There hasn't been an eye-dropper's worth of Myth news lately. Primarily due to the release of
Chimera. But the small bit that we do have is worth your time.
The Myth Master Central
page has posted info concerning the first perfect film that is now uploaded. This film
cover's all seven laws of Myth mastery. |
| November 22,19993:55p.m. |
Halo Some great information on #2 is posted on the Halo board today. Kudo's to Matt S. for making
his daily rounds and keeping everyone up to date. Those that needed the text next to the cool
scans are now in luck, take a look.
PC Gaming World Scans, Matt Soell clarifies again the release date of Oni and readers write in. Some great Oni news today. |
| 8:55a.m. |
Halo If you haven't seen the latest Halo scans over the weekend, then you have missed some great shots. With permission as
always, the scans can be found here.

PID The Pathways page has another update today. Information concerning another level but has anyone noticed the new
image on the front page? Craig Mullins again?
The Myth page is providing information on a review of Myth The Total Codex. Speaking of Myth,
last night after a few days of "taunting", some of the regulars on the HL Clan Plaid Server and some from the HL Bungie Org server got together
to "duke" it out at bungie.net. The rumor is that Bungie Org came out on top. When the films come in we will post them here. |

Halo Sounds like a broken record, but, some corrections are now posted..

Marathon Most of you have probably noticed that we have been without
Rugger . He moved across
the US last month and for the first time
we were able to meet in person. He is now in his
new location but, until he gets all moved in we have
recruited another borg member
to help out. Jump on over to the
Scenario News page and welcome the new "keeper". |
| November 17,19998:45p.m. |
Halo Yes, this Halo post is dated, but, I had to document this day. Another "furious" day for Halo. If the daily
screenshots weren't enough, today we were able to see some shots from this new Halo movie. If you
were one of the lucky few that saw the stills of the "handstand", then count your good fortune.
What does all this mean? Instead of describing it, just follow this
link. |
| 7:15a.m. |
Marathon
We are slowly adding new projects to the Bighouse page . If you haven't visited in a while, you might notice that
some of the projects listed are now being updated. The Marathon SC was updated last night along with a promise that
it will be updated more often. It's good to see this project finally coming back to life. |
| 00:15a.m. |
Halo The continued onslaught of Bungie in Europe has certainly hyped the "Halo Community". As you have probably heard, there are some nice new screenshots out. Better then that, this latest group looks as if it will calm everyone down concerning The Oath. Take an eyeful of this handy new page at the Halo sight. |
| November 16,199910:15p.m. |
Marathon The Orbital Arm page has some nice features added this evening. The downloads page has now been divided up for easier navigation. Let us know what you think about our latest addition to Bungie.Org.

Marathon The Marathon's Story page brings bad news for the Marathon hopeful... Doug Zartman says no toys for you this Christmas. Don't shoot the messenger, though. As noted on our Myth page (imagine that!), Horsepants Productions has put up a teaser for a new Marathon TC. The concept is intriguing... go take a look. The Archives are waking up again, it seems. Two new submissions; a 35-map netpack is updated, and a small demonstration of an interesting trick is shown. See what you can use!
Halo
Looks like there might be a bit of internal struggle over at HBO. Is Wirehead playing tricks on
the Halo community, or did Louis Wu simply overreact? You decide. Meanwhile, boys, settle down.

Marathon Just a quick update... The Big House obtained a new client this evening. Welcome to Marathon SC... a long-awaited (and maybe soon-to-be-seen) scenario! The news page hasn't been updated since January 25... but that should all change soon. Check it out! |
| November 11,1999 2:00p.m. |
Myth Myth Chimera interviewed today! Thanks to Pie for having this news up and ready to go. Halo Halo symbols, the track of the Halo soundtrack and new Halo Playstation 2 news is just a tiny bit of what you can find today at our Halo site. If this isn't enough news for you, try the Halo forums. |

Hats off to The Marathon's Story Page.
This morning there is a great find on an interview with

Smoke trails in Halo? Well, you be the judge, but interesting to note that this might be a new sighting to one of the screens that have been released. Matt asks for "No more Notes" to IDG, make sure to read the post.
The Asylum Night News has been updated and a new Asylum Night date has been set. Make sure not to miss out on daily Myth happenings at this site. Oni Matt answers a forum post that has been a question for some time. Although at this time it might seem a bit lean, it's still a good answer.

Halo Halo at Bungie.org is just a'hoppin', with several new print preview articles, lively competition for top spot on the Halo SETI Team, and an attempt to make Frosty the Chicken number one on the MP3 Game Soundtrack charts! Go check it out. Marathon The Big House gains two new scenarios today: The Classified Nineteen and Beyond The Aurora. This site is growing frighteningly fast... proof positive that Marathon, more than almost any game, engenders a near-fanaticism in its fans. Take a look at the latest offerings, and you'll see why! The Physics Model Archive has a new Model of the Month... some pretty amazing effects! Grab it, and spruce up your gameplay. Myth As mentioned on our news page, Bungie has put up yet another new myth site, Total Codex. This one is devoted to selling the latest Bungie offering, The Total Codex, consisting of all three Myth games (TFL, Soulblighter, and Chimera), two strategy guides, and a collection of user-created maps. All for under $20... wow. Forrest reminds us that Myth Master Central has been growing steadily, and contains a collection of solo films for both Myth and MythII (and will house Chimera films when they're available). Show your Myth prowess... submit your own films! Oni Some interesting speculation about the origin of the name Konoko on our Oni site today. See what you think!

Marathon The Big House keeps growing. The addition
of some very nice projects has made this site one that should have been up long
ago. We are still in the process of adding more, so this should be a daiy checkon any Marathoner's list. A sad update from horsepants ?? Along with some other
catch up news. |

MacWorld Game Hall of Fame In the December 1999 MacWorld Magazine, Bungie garners two honors in the yearly Game Hall of Fame roundup. Myth II wins the Best Real-Time Strategy Game Award, and Halo receives special mention for being a "Great Contender": If we get the additional space, we may have to open a room dedicated solely to Bungie Software. Bungie's Halo, a beautifully rendered third-person war game, is on track to be everyone's game of the year - regardless of platform - in 2000. This 3-D, hardware-dependent game, featuring both single-player and multiplayer modes, takes place on an artificial, ring-shaped planet and pits humans against an alien race. Both races have access to a remarkable array of weapons and vehicles. Unlike many network games, Halo focuses on cooperative play. Bungie remains uncommitted to the number of players the game will support, but the company assured us that no fewer than 32 people will be able to play at the same time.

Bungie in the News As mentioned on the Story page, the Multi-Player Online Gaming site has a new poll asking who most impressed you this year. Go tell 'em it was Bungie! Marathon The Big House has generated quite a bit of interest early in its existence... guess we should have started this earlier. Keep an eye on the page for new clients! There are several in the works... as soon as the pages are uploaded, we'll make the links active. Halo Lots of news on the Marathon's Story page, and lots more on our own Halo page. (Hamish is keeping up admirably with Louis, Wirehead and Crux, it seems... we may need to fire them.) The halo forum is hopping. Seems if we're not careful, we're going to lose some of our Bungie (or ex-Bungie) representation. Ouch.

Don't Mind Us, We're Confused Well, the good news is, our nameservers are back up again. The bad news is, the boxes have all moved... so everyone who read yesterday's update and tried to get in via IP address is getting error messages... because the IP addresses have changed.
Bottom line: use our machine names again. (That is, if you're trying to get to our Myth site, go to http://myth.bungie.org/, not any IP address you saw listed somewhere.) We're very, very sorry for the
confusion... all should be back to normal by tomorrow.

Outage Here is an update, if you are having some problems with our site. Thanks to the Battlecat for his help with this. Hey it looks like bad weather on the East Coast may have trashed our name server. Whether or not it is the weather or not, it is still trashed none the less and you need to use some hard-nosed and bad-nasty IPs to contact us. http://209.54.40.223/ is Oni 209.54.40.223 is hotline http://209.54.40.233 is www.bungie.org After that you tack on a site and you can usually go there, ex: http://209.54.40.233/marathon/ http://209.54.40.233/bighouse/ http://209.54.40.233/archive/ http://209.54.40.233/halo/ etc. This is temporary, when the name server comes back up it will be business as usual. Sorry for the inconvience. |

Outage Currently, there seems to be some outages along the east coast. Since the Bungie Org DNS machines sit up on the east coast it is not presumptions to think that this could probably be the problem. Know that we are working on this problem and we should be back very soon. If you are reading this then you are one of the lucky few without the DNS hiccups. |

Halo The Halo site has a late update today. After waiting for two days for permission, which all bungie org sites adhere to, our Halo site has posted some breaking news concerning another magazine article.
