@LVAzippy Bungie stupidly made it so that Marathon takes place after Halo. Although I can understand a security guard having old power armor, it says that the Pfhor are the first aliens that humans ever find. Bungie could have made a really cool connection, but they ruined it.
Seriously...how can people possibly think that marathon and halo AREN'T related? If you walk near a jackal, the sound they make is VERY similar to the sounds that the enemies in marathon make when you get close to them...(can't think of a better example right now..sorry. xD)
That would be cool, but people would ignorantly argue that it's "too similar" to Halo even though in reality this game was a precursor to Halo and inspired many of the game design elements of it.
As far as I see it, the enhanced landscapes/textures/weapons/HUD and Shots Fired are a complete necessity for all OpenGL players. I mean, let's face it. The original graphics aren't that nice on today's monitors, which isn't surprising seeing that it was made 13-15 years ago. Marathon mappers, you have my full respect.
@SSP Bungie is still very proud of it

Truly a great game. You seem to have the darkness really high (as in brightness low).

Bungie should make a new marathon game with updated graphics and everything. I would totally buy that. :D

MARATHON. This is the kind of game that even after twelve years, I still want to play. ;)
