After months of development by Jon God with help from Zeph, Deadfall, and extensive modification of Quarantine ( Quarantine ) , is finally finished. Deadfall is a Zombie based cooperative survival plugin for Myth II. Playable with up to 15 players, Deadfall pits you against nearly 400 AI controlled zombies.

Without variety, What is a plugin? Deadfall is playable across 15 maps, with 6 unique gametypes and team/ffa variants.

To add another layer to the gameplay, Deadfall is class based, and every round you can choose a class to suit your playing style, be it Rockets, or Medic, there are 8 classes to choose from, each unique with their own pros and cons.

If a player dies when fighting against zombies, he returns from the grave to kill his former team mates to score extra points, and keep them from getting any more points.

Levels range from urban sprawls to snowbound bases, and everything in between, get ready to fight on some of the most varied maps in a plugin yet. You'll find yourself fighting in quarries, deserts, small cities, harbors, and more in a host of Strangelet maps!

Gametype wise, expect some interesting twists, with the normal zombie slaying infection, along with other gametypes including a FPS style deathmatch gametype, with multiple spawn points, and FPS style capture the flag.

Touching on classes, there are some of the more obligatory classes, such as the Medic, and Flamethrower classes, but along with them are more original classes, such as the Seeker, with his plasma launcher, and missiles. There is enough variety to make for some very interesting combinations of classes for co-op.

The cherry on top of the features is the high standard of graphical quality in this plugin, with nearly all sprites much higher resolution then normal Myth II sprites, and all 15 levels completely detail textured. Deadfall will be the prettiest Myth II 1.7 plugin released to date!

Myth II Version 1.7 is the latest result of the community-based effort to continue the tradition of improving the game. Myth II runs better than ever with accelerated hardware rendering on both Windows XP and Mac OS X platforms, while keeping support for the hardware it was originally designed for. Overall game responsiveness has been improved, and many old causes of crashing and out-of-sync gameplay have been eliminated. Dozens of annoying bugs and oddities have been fixed, making this update the most stable ever - rendering the Myth experience that much more enjoyable. Among the many new features in this update are support for hi-res quicktime cutscenes, a dialog that locates missing plugins on the tain, a resizeable overhead map, transferable unit trading if a team captain drops, and a new detail texturing system.

Taking full advantage of the new detail texturing system available in Myth II 1.7, Project Magma is proud to present Bungie Map Textures. Bungie Map Textures is an optional add-on plugin featuring detail textures for all the original Myth II solo and multiplayer maps. Experience your favorite levels as never before, in stunning high-fidelity high-resolution 24 bit glory!

Project Magma is proud to announce the first public beta of the latest version of Myth II, version 1.7.

The goal of the beta is to find any potential bugs before the final release of Myth II 1.7.

Myth II 1.7 is compatible with 1.6 and 1.5.1, however players are encouraged to play games in which everyone is on 1.7, in order to test the new gameplay fixes.

The beta includes many changes and improvements, for a list of the most important ones, see:

1.7.0-Changes-Brief.txt

Myth II 1.7 is available in four versions, listed below. (Click on the name of a version to download it.)

Windows Modern - recommended for Windows 2000/XP/Vista.

After many years in the making, Project Magma is proud to present SPECIAL FORCES 2.

Work on this project has been going on and off for the past 5 years. Ozone's masterpiece is one of the most innovative coop/multiplayer of the year.

Because of the small amount of people, we believe the best way to release major projects for Myth is to work with version numbers. Like Myth which has always been updated, SF2 will always be updated with new content. We plan on making new maps and updating the plugin. We wouldn't want to keep working on this for another year without giving myth players the opportunity to play. So please enjoy this massive total conversion which has more than 18 new units, including vehicules and infantry units, each with their very own special abilities.

Download it today at The Tain.
