Subject: Marathon 2 Demo is OUT!

As we speak I am DLing the M2 demo from Bungie's web/ftp site. There are three versions of the demo available, one is 16 megs, the others are 12 and 8 megs. For those of you with a 14.4 modem, prepare for the mother of all downloads! I thank the Gods (University administrators) that gave me a direct Ethernet connection! I have the preview (on CD), so it'll be interesting to see the diferences between the two. The Bungie site looks really cool. They have all sorts of areas where you can leave feedback and participate in discussions. My only complaint is that the site is slowwwwww, especially with all those auto-loading animations.

There are three versions of congratualtions on your patience... could you do all of us (and especially Bungie) a favor and drop the demo (binary, not binhexed!) at an anon ftp site somewhere? This would not only help out those uf us with mere PPP connections or (horrors!) no web access, it would lighten the load on Bungie's site. Hell, half the civilized world must be logged in, trying to get the demo so they can behave like bloodthirsty barbarians... heh. my first thought would be ftp.amug.org in /incoming. The incoming directorty is unprotected, so we can get to it before they throw it off! ;) don't even bother with info-mac or umich--I would be amazed if they agreed to post a file that huge, and both sites obstinately refuse to allow binary format posts, even though they are the "biggest" (note I did not say best) sites... michael |
