Heretic II Battle Royale

The important bit: Phoebus passed along that The Cult of Phoebus (made up of Phoebus and friends, including some Activision QA badasses) challenged Raven's mEat wagon to a bladematch duel of Heretic II a few weeks back, and now that the incredible full game is out, the gig is.

Heretic II Battle Royale is the news today, and for late 1998 PC players that usually means one thing: another download, patch, demo, date, or box hitting shelves.

The important bit: Phoebus passed along that The Cult of Phoebus (made up of Phoebus and friends, including some Activision QA badasses) challenged Raven’s mEat wagon to a bladematch duel of Heretic II a few weeks back, and now that the incredible full game is out, the gig is. Tonight they are all meeting in 3DNet’s #heretic2 starting at 5pm PST and then they’ll organize the match and go at it. Join in the chat and await the results.

That is the kind of practical news that actually helps. Either grab it, patch it, or mark the date before the next flood of downloads buries it.
