Agreed. The original series is one of my favs. I fact the first one is the very first game I ever bought, came on four floppies, less than 8 megs.
I’ve been getting into extraction shooters recently (arc raiders, escape from duckov) but the fast pvp nature of the game as it currently looks doesn’t appeal to me.
100% dude. I was right there with you back in the day. My first “online” experience was a net game of M1 over MacTCP to my buddy down the street. After it came out all my Macs had a copy of Infinity and I wasted countless hours in Forge making wild maps. It was a great time in my life. I still play Aleph One now and then to kill time because its like a warm blanket to me now.
I will definitely give this new Marathon a shot at some point, but this gameplay is just not where I am at. I don’t really fit into this new world of online experiences, maybe I’m just getting old and Marathon is moving past me for a new age. I guess that’s fair. Its just hard to see as a die hard fan. Oh well.
