Bungie Day fest with the elder games

Every year on 7/7 for the past 4 or 5 years, I host a local Bungie Day party where all my friends from around town come over and we play Halo, Marathon, some Myth for the two people who bring their laptops and now we were all gonna see who could beat Pathways first in a speed run when we all brought our macs. Though considering we all left for college last fall, we're all in different corners of the country and some without access to Xbox Live and some too busy with work to be able to make the party. Ironically enough, Sunday I have to leave home around 4 to go to a teaching job for 3 weeks in Miami so I'm just barely able to make this Bungie Day. Anyhow, needless to say, we couldn't coordinate a party this year and I'm quite sad due to that. But I know I always have my Bnet brethren to count on when Bungie day looms on the horizon. So I mustache you guys if there'd be any interest in coordinating a nice big Bungie Day game fest on Marathon (Xbox, PC and Mac), Halo and Myth. Considering Marathon never really has any players online all that often, coordinated events are usually the only times Marathon players can all be on at once, be it on any platform. As far as Halo goes, I don't really like playing with quiet ransoms or annoying randoms, which is what I seem to find lately on Halo 3 and Halo Reach. So would anyone be up for hosting games on any of these games? Or, if there's already a pretty large-sized organized party, could someone point me in their direction? But yeah, just wondering if you'd all be up for any of this. For those without Marathon, I can provide you all the links to download it 100% for free (with easy setup) on your Mac or PC. On Xbox, Durandal is about $10, maybe less if there's a price drop I haven't seen. Myth isn't free sadly so only those with the game can hop in and play. As far as Halo goes, I'm pretty sure most of us have the game so I can set something up in 3 and Reach for us all. So go ahead and either post your info or you can add "ADAM Addict13" on Xbox Live or message me on here with your gamer tag or MariusNet name. Whichever is easier. Be sure to add what games you're up for playing and what time you're contactable and I'll get back to you. Also if you post your stuff on here, expect to get invites from other community members. Hoping to get us all in a group so we know who we're playing with. Ex. [quote] "[b]ADAM Addict13[/b]" - Xbox "[b]SpartanI013[/b]" - MariusNet [i]Want to play:[/i] Halo 3 Halo Reach Halo 3: ODST Halo 2 Vista Marathon: Durandal Marathon Series (PC & Mac) Myth [/quote] The current player list is as follows: [quote][i][u]Xbox[/u][/i] Todd King (Halo 3, Halo: Reach) KingBritishGuy (Halo 3, Halo: Reach, Marathon Durandal) MastaSin333 (Halo 3, Halo: Reach) CriminalBanjo (Halo: Reach) XxSpartan830xX (Halo 3) DEATH WATCH 962 (All Halo Games) [/quote] [quote][i][u]PC[/u][/i] pawncrackers - MariusNet & Live [/quote] This is done every year but I haven't see anyone start up another thread for it so I thought why not. So go ahead, post your info and I'll see you on Sunday! (P.S. I'm gonna bump this topic once a day until the day to see if anyone is still interested.)

    • Alrighty guys, I've add the list of players so we can keep track of who's who. I'll be adding everyone on Xbox later today at some point so we can configure games.

      Xbox GT: KingBritishGuy I'm up for any Halo from 3 to Reach. I have 4, but that wouldn't be right to celebrate Bungie. I also have Marathon Durandal on Xbox.

    • pawncrackers - Xbox pawncrackers - MariusNet (awaiting email verification atm..) Halo 2 Vista Marathon Series (PC) I've sent you a friend request on XBL - I don't have a home connection, but do jump on occasionally (via internet cafe, friend's house, etc..). I can play H2 via my PC tho it can get laggy. :S Will get to downloading Marathon PC in the meantime - hope that works out better. Catch you soon! :)

        [u]Download and Install instructions for Marathon Series on Mac/PC:[/u] [b]BE SURE TO GO TO [url]http://www.mariusnet.com[/url] AND REGISTER SO YOU CAN PLAY ONLINE IN EITHER MARATHON OR MYTH! A MariusNet account IS REQUIRED to play.[/b] Keep in mind, it's 100% free and it doesn't take anything more than your email and a username and a password. (If you're under 18 you may wanna *cough*fabricate*cough* your age.) [quote][u]Mac[/u] [i]1.[/i] Go [url=http://marathon.sourceforge.net]here[/url]. [i]2.[/i] Click the "Download for Mac OS X" button under any scenario you want. (The most frequently used game for multiplayer is Infinity but we can run whatever game is most preferred.) [i]3.[/i] Double click the DMG you just downloaded and it should mount. [i]4.[/i] Drag and drop the colored Marathon logo that appears in the new window into your Applications folder. (There should be a shortcut inside of that window that you can just drag it to.) [i]5.[/i] Double click the app and be sure to log in by clicking Settings and then clicking Multiplayer. There you can enter your MariusNet info.[/quote] [quote][u]Windows[/u] [i]1.[/i] Go [url=http://marathon.sourceforge.net]here[/url]. [i]2.[/i] Click the "Available For (Mac, Windows & Linux)" button under any scenario you want. (The most frequently used game for multiplayer is Infinity but we can run whatever game is most preferred.) [i]3.[/i] Click the "Download for Windows" button. [i]4.[/i] Unzip the folder once it's done downloading into your Program Files (or Program File(x86) folder if on 64 bit) [i]5.[/i] Run the .exe file contained in the folder and log into your account by clicking Settings and then Multiplayer in the game's menu.[/quote] Linux users, you can play too but considering I only use Ubuntu to rescue a bricked OS, I'm not sure how to install programs on it. I'm pretty sure it's not far off from the Windows instructions.

      • XxSpartan830xX I just started playing halo 3 again after nearly a year of no gaming. Would appreciate it if someone invited me to some games on that or Reach. Cheers and happy Fourth of July for those of you in the states.
