The Pre-Game Chat
After creating a new game, or joining an existing game, you’ll be taken to a screen similar to the main bungie.net screen, also known as the pre-game chat. The list of players is still on the left, but it only shows players who have joined your game. To the right, the list of available games is replaced with an overhead map of the level and a description of the game parameters. The chat function at the bottom of the screen works the same as on the main bungie.net interface. The buttons at the top of the screen are different:

Boot Player
Select a player from the list and click this button to kick him out of the game and back to the main bungie.net screen.

Join Team
Select a player and click this button to join that player’s team.

Close Game
Remove the game from the list of available games to prevent additional players from joining. The button then changes to Open Game in case you change your mind later.

Options
Allows you to change the parameters of the game.

Start Game
Begins gameplay, after all players who want to join have hit the Ready button.

Leave Game
Delete the game from the list of available games and drop everyone back to the Game Setup screen.

TCP/IP


bungie.net is great, but sometimes you want to play with others on a local-area network, or with a select group of friends over the Internet. Myth II allows for these sorts of games via its TCP/IP option.
