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."

I think that because of the way marathon did many of the battles, the enemies should have to be made less complex. In unreal 1, you ran into 3 skaarj, you fps dropped about 30 points. I think a good benchmark is to have alien models at 50% polycount of the UT player models. Becuase you're likely to have upwards 8 aliens fighting you at least once per level, I think simplifying models is a good idea. can you imagine what it would be like to have the fight aliens with the framerate of having 8-16 bots onscreen? It's not so much of suggestion, just an idea, and also a question. Will the aliens in MR be simple enough to keep the game running smooth in battles, but complex enough to look like the origionals?
