Well, it was inevitable. Sierra announced earlier this week that it would end multiplayer support for 20 of its "heritage" titles, including Tribes 1, on August 16th. While this news, to some, may seem like the end of playing Tribes 1 online, Starsiege vets will remember the community fix that...

We had to do some emergency maintenance on the site, and a few things might have broke. We apologize for the forums being down for so long, but we've got a more powerful home now, and we're ready to rock. Due to the maintenance, however, we noticed some minor glitches. Please report any...

Please bear with us over the next few days as we perform some server maintenance. If you notice anything out of place, please let us know in the comments thread below.

So you've been in our forum arcade and you think you're pretty good. You may have even been in one of our previous tournaments. Want to prove you've got the biggest kahuna's? Register for our Ball Breaker tournament - our first 8 player hub-bub that is sure to raise more than a few eye brows. ...

The crowd has spoken and Trajan has answered, delivering a bunch of previously unreleased media. There's a little under a dozen new screenshots, and several handfuls of (mostly) unreleased development art. You can find them all by using our Quick Search Tool and the Gallery keywords, "The Last of...

Crow! has officially started the first Cyberstorm game on the forums...or if not the first, then the first in really, really long time. Click here to view the thread.

Yea, old news now, but I only just found out. I'd like thank each and every one of you who came to tJY for your 2845 fix. It's been a blast people. http://forums.the-junkyard.net/images/smilies/bawling.gif - 2845 is dead

We've got a new poll up today asking the question, "Did you find the SS:2845 project closure shocking?" Vote now! And results are in from our previous poll, which asked what your favourite 2845 map is. Not surprisingly, it was Tycho Base.

I emailed Trajan regarding the release of any previously unseen 2845 assets and here's the summary response: Everything that was not directly ported from StarSiege is being revamped to be used in their previously mentioned MOD project. This includes all of the music and other art assets. ...

Good news and bad news ladies and gents, good and bad... As usual, we'll go with the bad first: the new TGE:A engine is proving to be a real nut buster; hence, the lack of obvious progress. Why this is case, I have no clue. It could be that the new engine is just going through the usual...

In his latest blog entry, Arcanox reveals the end results of his work with Cliffswallow's original concept drawing. <div align="center"> <table border="0" cell spacing="5"><tr><td> <a href="http://the-junkyard.net/images/weapons/mslauncher1io0.jpg"><img...

Says Frankie on the new Frequently Asked Questions list. Phases one and two are now closed, so if you didn't receive that email invite, you're out of luck unless you purchase a launch copy of Crackdown (which I intend to do). Other neat tidbits include the unveiling of the laser, the mysterious X...

Remember that Halo-esq Exoskeleton suit we mentioned not too long ago? The creator of the Trojan, Troy Hurtubise, apparently could not attract the US or Canadian military to the suit for an admittedly low per-unit estimated cost of $2000. Accordingly, Mr. Hurtubise is in some big financial...

Arcanox has once again updated his blog after a two week absence. Apparently, he's been busy working on different weapons for the SCARAB. He reports the completion of the SCARAB equivalent of the HATC, basically a giant six-barreled mini-gun. He's also testing out a recent design by The...

The new Spartan Laser is the hot topic over at Bungie.net right now. The censored version of a supposed in-field report with soldiers gleans a myriad of tidbits detailing one of the most powerful weapons available to the UNSC. That, and it's red.

Thanks to droid17, it's been brought to my attention that the StarSiege Soundtrack was incomplete. I'm not sure how it happened. My best guess is that the download process was somehow interrupted when I got them from Smylodon. Either way, it's my bad for not checking all of the songs before...

Thanks to Smylodon, we now have the complete StarSiege soundtrack available for DL as one zip file. - Click here to DL

Just received word last night that within the next 48 hours, the first round of Halo 3 beta invites will be sent out to a select group of the online registrants. And don't fret if you don't get an invite, there still are a couple of ways to snag a spot in the beta: buy a specially marked copy of...

The rifle we've all come to love when coupled with a charged plasma pistol, the MA5C, has been laid spread eagle in the latest Top Story at Bungie.Net. This write-up, similar in detail to the one released on the Mongoose, reveals all about this pungent weapon, including its weight, length, rate of...

The UK magazine, Edge, has an inside look at what goes on at the Halo HQ, speaking to several crew members. Originally published to subscribers only, it is now available to the public at large and is quite an indepth read. Amongst other things, the prospects of Halo 3 are discussed along with the...

This version of Weapon Selector is very different from its previous versions. The 9 weapon and vehicle limitation of v1.1 is now no longer existent. At the cost of simplicity, the HUD based selection system has been replaced by a visual selection, where players literally scroll though the...

Well it may not look exactly like the Master Chief in his real-life digs, but for copyright purposes, that's probably a good thing. But what the Canadian creation, dubbed Trojan, does bring to the table, is actual protection from bullets, explosives, knives and clubs. The creator, Troy Hurtubise,...

This is an update to the 1.1 patch that was mentioned back in the end of November, and fixes all known issues in that patch. More details are available in our file listing or by visiting the release thread. Note that you will only see servers running the same version in the browser listing....

Halo 3's new two-man super-quick ATV has made its public appearance on Bungie.net. B.Net precious details such as its top speed (just shy of 100 km/h), fuel efficiency (45-65 mpg), and its engine size (1000c). Quick? Yes. Super-quick? Yes, and I know a little something about speed. Visit...

As usual, a good deal of behind-the-scenes work has been going over at Clancore. The latest update didn't contain that much that is directly interesting IE eye candy, but there are some interesting points. For one, the fact that the devs have already begun the transition to the TGE:A, notably...
