@10samm10 Have you even played through the whole game? If not you should. And also - as the AlephOne maps are not actually the original Bungie-made maps - I suggest you play the original release, although it will probably make little to no difference. I respect your opinion and all, but I strongly, strongly, strongly disagree with that statement! To quote Façade 'Maybe you just need to let it soak in a little'. :-)
@CaptainAppleManFilms I have played through the whole game. And not the Aleph One maps. The story was quite nice but the maps were confusing and too maze-like. Compared to even Doom, it had some pretty terrible map design with very poor texture choices. Even the p'hor levels with their alien atmosphere didn't help. The auto map was godsend and the game would have been impossible without it. Marathon 2 was far more detailed and thoughtfully designed.
no reason to get pissed thinking marathon and halo are related you can see similarities and after halo 3s ending everyone said hey look at this other bungie game with a guy in green armor on a ship
Basically Marathon did tie into PiD... so the folks who created the Aleph1 app so it could run on the newer OS, Windows and Linux took a little freedom and added that beginning bit, mostly as a salute to Pathways.
@Lightcycle yeah cus i remember playing hte original mac version on my 1992 apple macintosh computer xD lol good times. And it didnt have taht awesome dumgeon looking part.
its awful isn't it? now everyone who plays aleph one, which is basically everyone from now on, thinks that the game starts in pathways rather than on a spaceship.
I don't think they really thought that through when they added it, I'm normally not a purist but its goofy and obviously ruins the beginning of the story if you don't already know it.
Well the alephone version of marathon was a fan remake, so they can put what they want in it. When people get alephone though they're more likely to play durandal or infinity
@coprographia It was a hat tip to PID that the makers of Marathon 1 Reloaded (or what its proper title was) made when they converted the maps to Aleph One.
Look, did you just hear what he said?! You can find the quote somewhere master chief is the same character in both, but jason jones said that it's just 2 different incarnations of the same character.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Too bad because of the fucking glithces and saved overwrites I cant get past the level where you have to kill all the aliens and report back to leela. The elivator will not move, and there is no other way to get out of there, and yes I pressed the button, it does nothing. What a crock of shit.
actually as i read on halo pedia master chief and the cyborg guy from marathon (dont know the series good) are NOT THE SAME PEOPLE but decendents of some person making them sort of related
@MacLoverNoHomo Are you talking about Halo and Marathon? If you are, there are some similarities that are hard to ignore. The Marathon symbol is constantly referenced throughout the Halo series, and if you look at captain keyes uniform right in the beginning of the game(Combat Evolved) where he hands you the pistol, you can see it plainly on his uniform. The universes don't perfectly match up, but there are many similarities between the two. You can look it up, theres tons of tie ins.
hey guess what! theres a rumor goin around that bungie is makin a remake of marathon since halo is over. and on top of that at the final ending of halo3 there are hints that master cheif and the main character of marathon are one in the same! im thinkin that the marathon remake is gonna be a tie-in with halo where master cheif and the space marines fight the new race of aliens(the pfhor).
Also, there is probably no way that the Master chief and the ruined hunk of ship he was on could suddenly morph into a fully stocked, 2 Kilometer long Alien scout ship.
yea i know Marathon just inspired Halo thats why there are so many similarities other places in the game ppl are annoying saying there realted its starting to piss me off
Hey, Can anyone help me with Marathon>? In the first level of the 1st Marathon, what is that floating red Genie there>? and how I get Marathon Rubicon working>? and The Brightness In-game is on lightest but it is still too dark to see anything. any Experts able to help me>? -Thanks
Why is the game soo dark>? I cant see and its impossible to see and paths or items. I think the Old FPS games like Doom, Wolfenstien, and this are way scaryier than any new Survival horro games. Because U can't see whats comming towrds you, and you all alone, and You cannot jumpa nd run away ffrom the monsters as good!
Yeah, but not only do some people NOT have Macs, some people also prefer console gaming to PC gaming. I'm both of these people. I'm sure they can sweeten the deal and making it worth buying by throwing in exclusive features.
Actually I think what I wonder why Microsoft won't devote any of their Xbox division to porting it to the Xbox Arcade. However that said, Microsoft has given or sponsored classes on programming for the Xbox, so I wouldn't be surprised if some third party does make an Xbox version of it in the near future.
Well mainly because they are focusing totally on Halo currently + whatever is the next project. and two the whole series is for free download... that's how kickbutt awesome bungie is. (you still have to pay to get a legal copy doom for cryin out loud).
so, the only difference between marathon and doom engines is that marathon can look up and down?
