Marathon Hi-Res Tutorial (PC)

[ChrisCaelanThomas]

How about giving a link to the texture pack?

[ChrisCaelanThomas]

Not a prequel, a sequel. This game takes place years after Halo.

This dude's voice.. obviously indicative that he gets lots of pussy. No, but, really. I remember playing this with my brother when I was younger. We had the trial version or something, and it was very memorable.

[CEdwardProductions]

Where did you get the texture enhancement pack?

[TDUShelby]

@CEdwardProductions

From Bungie's site.

[Kaizo45]

I've done everything shown but it doesn't work, although there is a loading screen.

[xXAlloy12Xx]

Hey on the level Neither High Or Low there is a secrete level that actually features the hulk major, or aka Invincible Hulk.

[KampferXeon]

No, you are actually wrong in your description.

More people have heard of Marathon has played it. A LOT of people have heard of Marathon.

They just don't realize they can get it for free.

[KampferXeon]

Eww, who wants those?!

Lol no offense, but you sound a computer voice...

[Thek213]

The player-character in marathon is not a captain; rather, he is a lowly security cyborg.

Who is really good at killing things, to the point that Durandal is impressed.

[BabyCovenant22]

@Thek213 If he's a cyborg, how come he explodes into blood and guts?

[Thek213]

@BabyCovenant22 Cyborg - n. a being with both biological and artificial parts.

^this

Bungie said "Marathon is has no connection to Halo"

[BecuzIt]

Also Marathon is NOT in the same universe as Halo that is BLASPHEMY

[TDUShelby]

It's not blasphemy, it a theory.

I'm not saying it is, and I'm certainly not saying it isn't. The rocket launchers, the [silent] protagonist himself, there's a lot of evidence. I'm not the only one who thinks it's a prequel.

To appease the masses, it's known as "the possible prequel to Halo," saying it might or might not actually be.

[BecuzIt]

The years contradict.

Most people think that Halo is the prequel to marathon, actually.

that the planet master chief was drifting towards is Tau Ceti. however in each universe their respective Aliens were the first that humans had ever come in contact with.

The Marathon hasn't developed slipspace technology.

all the similarities are just put in by Bungie to salute Marathon fans.

[TDUShelby]

Well, you know, I can't really say. I haven't played any of the Halo games. Like I said, it's a theory.

[As7raios]

@TDUShelby The theory is actually that Halo is a prequel to Marathon. I highly doubt that it is true, though, seeing as though 343 Industries has taken over the Halo franchise. I don't think they can legally bind the two universes. :P

(By the way, I realize these comments were made a year ago, I still wanted to put some insight onto the subject.)

[that1dude0092]

@BecuzIt ( I dont care if i reply to an 8 month comment)

Nope halo is not a prequel to marathon

Even bungie confirmed it

[BecuzIt]

@that1dude0092 That's kinda what I said.

[that1dude0092]

@BecuzIt oh...sorry bout that i was reading your comment to fast

[ChrisCaelanThomas]

@TDUShelby It's actually a sequel, note that it takes place long after Halo as far as the time line.

[ChrisCaelanThomas]

@BecuzIt It is, though it takes place WAAAAY after the Halo story.

[BecuzIt]

Your voice is slick and delicious

[TDUShelby]

Um... ookay.

[natranr]

@TDUShelby made me lol

[Magicz89]

yaaa i realize im a little late, but if you could update this and show me how to use version 7.0 (current version) cuz i cant get it to work and i cant get the 6.1 that you used

thanks!

[TDUShelby]

Uh... issue there. I haven't played it in months and I never did any updates, so I didn't even KNOW there was a version 7.0.

I'll see what I can find out tomorrow (Sunday) unless I forget.

[possiblycrazy442]

thanks for posting this. i was completely lost trying to install those downloads. this really helped.

[MoppyPuppy]

This tutorial is kinda good, but I find it highly disturbing that you cant seem to get your words out.

Not to mention I can hear the inside of your mouth move and the saliva too...

[1Rewdbwoi]

lmao, rather critical arent we

[dephynishun]

I remember Marathon! This was my first multiplayer LAN experience ever! Good times.

[TDUShelby]

Stupidly, I read about it in a 2007 GameInformer magazine that gave the website to download it. It's pretty fun :)

[username444100]

i found out about it on GI to i seen their preview of the xbla release i have it its fun but not enough people play online

[TDUShelby]

Yeah, I noticed that. There really aren't that many people playing it.

[username444100]

it sucks because it deserves way more attention its awsome
