SPEAK YOUR MIND

"Does the distance one travels from center make one more free to move?"

"No. Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphor has two parts: form and interpretation. Of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom is being the bricoleur, the mason."

In Response To: Re: Jumping and Other things (Rantmaster)

I'm of two minds on this. The original Marathon's physics were such that turning in mid-air was part of the solution to many places where jumping didn't work. In Arrival, for example, there's a place in the corridor where you need to jump from one ledge to another on the other side of the corridor, but further down. I've been unable to make this jump in M:R, but make it easily in the original. The only way to make progress was to use the new jumps.
I'd prefer it to be an option - Classic mode or new mode.
