Marathon 2 AMP! is a reworking of visuals and gameplay to emphasize the boost in action without deviating from familiarity. This has been developed specifically for the Marathon 2 scenario to bring about another option of play for this excellent scenario. http://simplici7y.com/items/marathon-2-amp h...

Years ago I was going through the archives and came across this beauty. I pulled it all together into one convenient .zip file. If I am missing anything please let me know and I'll update the .zip file. I am aware that the author wanted to make alterations before releasing the collection but as far ...

I was looking at this patch of mine and I couldn't get it to work. I went ahead and uploaded a patched Infinity Shapes file to replace the questionable patch. I also made a couple extra tweaks to this modification in the direction I wanted it to go. I would like to see about using MML to adjust how ...

I converted the map Pfhactory N'Utopia to work with this project. The original Pfhactory for M1 was one of my favorites that I tinkered with a lot learning about modding Marathon. I was happy to see an updated and standalone Infinity version and thought this may be just what I'd like to have include...

That's my cue to get the fuck out. You don't listen, you don't communicate, you just want attention, you like being a disaster, etc... Good luck guy I don't know. I do hope you find peace some day.

there are few things as fatuous and in bad faith as these online no-strings, no value displays of generic sympathy / life advice for strangers Wow... Metaphor time: Joe Shmoe is having a hard time with life. He goes to the bar and starts talking to Bob Somebody who is a stranger willing to lend an ...

Stroke that ego baby

O.O What a pleasant surprise! Am currently watching the youtube videos you linked. I believe a thank you is in order.

What I liked about Infinity wasn't the unintended sequel story or the quality map designs. What I liked about Infinity was the additional content and tools included. It's not that I don't appreciate the quality that Infinity was. Maybe by that time I had outgrown the same interests which kept me fro...

Somehow I missed the final levels being reviewed until now. Thank you for doing this. I hardly game anymore but reading another person's perspective of one of my favorite games was a pleasant stroll through memory lane.

I'm going to try and succinctly lay out my opinion. You appear to be in a downward spiral that includes failing to meet your expectations and beating yourself up over it. This tells me you do not know how to take the necessary steps towards success. I advise you take time away from any project hobbi...

@ $lave - Did you get a message saying "I pledge to punch all switches, to never shoot where I could use grenades, to admit the existence of no level except Total Carnage, to never use Caps Lock as my "run" key, and to never, ever, leave a single Bob alive" ? According to this page that message acc...

What may be so obvious to some ( or many ) Marathon players is the history of "vidmaster." Not me. I couldn't for the life of me recall where I had first become aware of it. Maybe it was some random FAQ online or possibly on my Marathon CD in the extras folder. I decided to look through the PDF copy...

Personally, I find that tactic to be extremely unsporting. It feels like cheating I think taking advantage of coded behavior isn't cheating. It comes down to expectations and play style. It could be argued that cheesing takes away from the developer's grand intentions. I see the player's experience...

I enjoy reading this thread. It is a pleasure to rediscover the levels by description. I think For Carnage, Apply Within is a good example why some players dislike the Marathon 2 alien texture set thanks to its level design.

How will the story be conveyed? Through chapter screens, level design, terminal, audio, ...? What will the player experience throughout the scenario? Will this project rely on run and gun action or maybe it takes a more atmospheric approach using visuals and audio in place of combat? Please elaborat...

Now that the Litterbox has sunk below the waves into the depths of Archive.org, I thought I'd make a new diagram in the hopes someone might find my results interesting or useful. I always knew the randomness was wonky so it's a pleasure to see the shots plotted. Nice work getting this done for all ...

Level 6: We're Everywhere. I like this level. The fusion pistol can be put to good use here against the hunters. Is this the first level in the campaign proper the player encounter hunters? Bobs are almost useless but I really like the flow of encounters and small battles in this one. Level 7: Ex C...

There is that one S'pht terminal to find as a reward for exploring - possibly the only message we ever read from an enslaved S'pht - and an early alien weapon. If you play on co-op, there's even a rocket launcher! Here's the website to the terminals on that level : http://marathon.bungie.org/story/...

I think I've casually explored Come and Take Your Medicine once. I like the idea of there being a larger map to explore beyond the intended path but this map just disappoints in execution. The intended path is far too short. The map itself is uninteresting to explore and lacks proportionate incentiv...

I am curious to hear how you heard about Marathon and what lured you in.

Who are you? Your first and only post here is to announce a contest?
